I’ve stopped feeding the bird

What compells a 100 year old man to fly 14 hours to China (with a medical team)? Maintaining “relevancy and influence”? Doubt it. What about just a “private citizen” on a holiday? I doubt that even more. "The BBC went so far as to suggest that, “given his outsized stature in China, [Kissinger] could act as a backchannel for U.S.-China negotiations.” The State Department threw cold water on that last possibility in their daily briefing, stressing that Kissinger was traveling as a private citizen and not under the aegis of the U.S. government.” The State Department thinks your are a moron to be played. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/07/22/why-kissinger-went-to-china-again-00107676

GM… just another link in the chain #start9

GM 🧡Still running bitcoin. 🧡Still 21 Million limit. 🧡Still blocks ~ 10 min. 🧡Stil fired up.

So reading Marty Bents article this AM… - BRC-2o tokens are created with 546 sat transactions (because 546 sats is the smallest amount that can send on-chain without it being recognized as "dust" by nodes running Bitcoin Core) - that 546 sat UTXO is worth about $0.15 today but cost 36,720 sats ($10.18) in transaction fees (screenshot) I assume that the BRC-20 token is somehow “worth” something to collectors but …. what do the BRC-20 people now do with the 546 sat UTXO? If they try and move that UTXO in this fee invironment there will be nothing left. Even in a low fee envioronment (like 1 sat/vB) the remaining UTXO will be considered dust. Does this BRC-20 thing end up in some kind of channel where they trade it? Honest questions. It took me a while to grok #bitcoin, my shitcoin phase was super short (and terrifying) - this BRC-20 thing looks even scammier. https://tftc.io/martys-bent/issue-1341/

Nice to be a miner these days…

Working on the company books and noticed a supplier price change from $6.50/unit in 2018 to $12/unit in 2023. An 85% increase.

Just watched Ben Arc and LNBits team obsolete Craigslist with Nostr Marketplace. Wow! Stand by for disruption -
