Does anyone actually accept phone calls anymore? Not over signal or telegram, but on the actual voice line?

You can correct people that are wrong on the internet. Or you can just do things.

I suspect Bill Gates is part of an operation to move the Overton Window. It's now acceptable to say "climate change is a serious problem but isn't existential."

Too many people are assuming the dynamics of a soft fork will play out the same way it did in 2017. That is, a soft fork starts, but to prevent wipeout, one side or the other makes it a hard fork. But because of what happened in 2017 and in 2018, particularly with respect to all those hard forks most going to 0, we're not getting a hard fork. Neither side is going to be so stupid as to do that and relegate themselves to obscurity. No, it's going to be far more intricate and complicated and disruptive. Or seeing the possibilities, one side will cave. Either way, you're probably not going to get an x% dividend.

A lot of problems solve themselves. Sometimes doing nothing is the right move. Kinda like holding.

The best investment besides Bitcoin in the coming years is children. With the low birthrate, they'll have much less competition and with sound money, they'll have much better opportunities.

I hate how the CSAM talk distracts from the obvious: Changing the default from 80 to 100k is reckless and unreasonable. Allowing multiple OP_RETURNs has no real use case. 0.1 sat/vbyte is completely arbitrary.
