You may not agree with Matt Levine about everything (I know I don't), but his latest piece about Bitcoin Treasury companies is hilarious: https://archive.ph/3hmWP

#asknostr I get this error when trying to send a zap. I've been away from home for a long while. The strange thing is when I now look at my alby hub interface, it shows "Connected" for my amethyst LN address account, and there seems to be no way to diagnose. In amethyst itself, I *believe* you can only find the NWC settings by long pressing zap, but that doesn't seem to help me diagnose the problem. Any ideas? I could just "turn it off and turn it on again" so to speak, perhaps, i.e. create a new connection .. though I'm not exactly sure how, I can figure it out. Probably just expired, but I have nothing to go on. ------ Your wallet connect provider returned the following error: Something went wrong while paying invoice: oauth2: cannot fetch token: 401 Unauthorized Response: {"error":"invalid_grant","error_description":"The provided authorization grant (e.g., authorization code, resource owner credentials) or refresh token is invalid, expired, revoked, does not match the redirection URI used in the authorization request, or was issued to another client"}

This guy's videos are usually about general politics and economics ( he isn't focused on Bitcoin per se) with a particular focus on Spain. Why I bring it up: the comments on his analysis of Bitcoin's rise w.r.t. government money printing and so on, are striking. A *large* number talk about how it has no value so it can't be anything else than a bubble. Even mention of tulips in there. Don't underestimate the extent to which a very large proportion of people will *never* change their mind about this, no matter how long it survives.

At some point this place will become a hellspace of gambling bots and endless posts promoting the gambling bots.

Just watched El Secreto de sus ojos (the secret in their eyes English title), Argentinean movie from 2009. Won an Oscar apparently. A thriller about a murder case, I'd recommend it, solid plot that keeps you interested. Quite a lot of memorable moments. The lead actress was absolutely outstanding. (Soledad Villamil apparently). Side note. Does Argentina only have 2 (male) actors? (Darin and Francella)? I mean they're both very good, but, come on!
