Surely some sats will go to whoever solves this mystery: I just started reading this book on #innovation , How to Innovate by Aristotle (and other Greek authors, curated by Armand D’Angour). Great book so far, but what really surprised me was the “Praise” on the back cover, by a “Satoshi Nakamoto, cryptocurrency innovator”. …the book was published in 2021… …so either Satoshi is friends with the publisher and decided to come out of retirement to endorse this book, or the publisher (Princeton) is quite full of sh*t. #satoshi #nakamoto #bookstr Here is the book website that has the same “praise” quoting Satoshi:

This is a “fake shock” moment… exactly what screwed over the #gamestop traders. A “coding error” caused 5 years of crime in mislabeling short sales as long (also known as market manipulation). $7 million USD fine = slap on the wrist. #sec #stockmarket #finstr #shortselling #stocks #crime #news SEC Charges Citadel Securities for Violating Order Marking Requirements of Short Sale Regulations

Whenever I see one of these old “internet is new” videos from the 90s, it makes me wonder what we are talking about these days that will be self-obvious in 20 years…🧐 View quoted note →

I went in to give blood today and my iron level was too low! 😤 It was 12.5 and they require 13. Weird since I eat 80% meat and I mean a LOT of red meat. Just today I ate two eggs, bacon, and 3/4 lb of beef. What does this mean, people?!?! I’m upset. 🥲 #carnivore #diet #blood #redcross I need #paulsalino to explain.

2010 Oregon: legalize marijuana! 2020 Oregon: well that didn’t go as planned. Dispensaries become major part of local economy. Fentanyl and drugs crisis abound. Population leaves. City becomes a toxic dump. 2023 Oregon: legalize mushrooms! (Dates are approx., going off memory) Sigh… I used to be in the “legalize it” camp. I consider myself mostly-libertarian. But then I saw drugs destroy #Portland. I recognize the pharmaceutical difference between pot and “hard” drugs, and I support individual choice. But how can one say something is “good” when you’ve witnessed it’s destructive powers on a society. I go down Sandy Blvd and it is nothing but burnt out RVs and decay. The only prosperous businesses are head shops. #drugs #marijuana #weed #psilocybin #mushrooms #health #politics #society image
