AI companies have no network effects even the hardware providers with proprietary programming languages such as CUDA have zero network effects -- with LLMs, you could easily translate between one programming, language and another you can easily take your data, your code, and your text files and move to another service provider and use a different LLM imagine investing in an entire ecosystem with zero moat and high valuations

anyone buying physical silver is a fool, but may not know you are a fool until you try and sell it. silver brokers are happy to sell you silver but don't want to buy it from you. image

i recently learned that saylor built a dollar reserve. his shareholders should be embarrassed. at the very least he should have built a gold reserve if he wanted to hedge his btc risk and appease institutions.

so many bitcoin podcasts are garbage these days. seems like a way better use of time to just read bitcointalk forums or just have AI read forum posts to you.

In deuterium-tritium fusion, high-energy neutrons drive "multiplication" reactions to close the fuel cycle by producing the tritium needed to sustain operation. Making use of those neutrons to drive a multiplication reaction on mercury-198, our approach produces mercury-197 which then decays in a few days to the only stable isotope of gold.

explaining this further. new federal reserve notes are backed by nothing but issuance is dependent on the FED and they may not cooperate a treasury bill backed stable coin that circulates feeling like tether can have its interest rates for stable coin loans set by the market and supply dictated by demand of the market treasury can issue as many treasury bills as the market makers of the usd stable coin can absorb the treasury becomes directly in control of the interest rates of its treasuries and and can mandate low interest rate payments to stable coin issuers who just collect interest. banks keep the stable coins for depositors so they can issue loans and use the stable coins as "reserves" rather than fed bank reserves. the US gov doesn't need to abolish the FED and can instead make it irrelevant also they get to directly export inflation worldwide via their treasury bills which back the stable coins and have full visibility into capital flows this also eliminates the euro dollar system by replacing it with a stable coin based system then many counties ban stable coins, then they fight the US and eventually we get to hyperbitcoinization
