Let me know how many seconds, minutes or hours it takes you to get it.

Did you know?

I love this! Have a wonderful day folks. Walk gently, be kind, have fun.

So damn true!

Public service announcement, for the comma good.

It’s interesting to observe this triad (BTC / AUD / CAD). As the exchange rate of #BTC to the Australian dollar (AUD) peaks clearly above $100,000 AUD, the exchange rate of BTC to the Canadian dollar is hovering at $94,000 CAD. This spread on the exchange rate isn’t unusual, as the CAD has had about a 1-10 cent advantage of the AUD for most of the past two decades, with a few very short periods of parity or slight AUD advantage. It will be interesting to watch this over the months and years ahead though, with BTC exchange rate as a lens. Canada and Australia are both economies with highly financialized housing markets and many socio-economic similarities. As #Bitcoin adoption continues to increase over the coming months and years, and as BTC further displaces other asset classes (housing, gold, collectibles, bonds and equities) as stores of value, it will be interesting to see whether the BTC/AUD and BTC/CAD will remain comparatively range bound or whether we’ll see any divergences. This triad may provide interesting opportunities to gauge the relative impact of Canadian and Australian fiscal and monetary policy, as well as other public policy directions over the months and years ahead.

Ah, yes. This music is more appropriate for Trump. Not political commentary… just commentary on a lecherous, predatory, sociopathic individual. nostr:note1es4deqxfudexzds2zsvmzawpnzuee7rmae8942arfkfwlp7n4d8s23rsqu

The beautiful thing about #Bitcoin is that it no longer matters who Satoshi Nakamoto is or was. Bitcoin is now the world’s largest, decentralized, open-source computing network and financial system — one that cannot be controlled by any person, government or other third party. If we were to ultimately find out who Satoshi is/was it would be scarcely more material now than if we found out who was the first person to create fire or play chess. All of these are now open-source gifts to humanity, subject to the overwhelming consensus of a massive, decentralized user base. So, watch this HBO flick if you must, but then get on with the task of harnessing Bitcoin #BTC in service of building a better world.

A decision was made here. 😂

Beep beep!

For all those who have suffered at the hands of grandma’s knitting.

ANALOGY 1: Bitcoin is water Imagine three unmarked, unlabelled clear containers. They each contain a different, clear liquid: water, bleach, and ethyl alcohol. Without knowing anything about these liquids one could easily mistake them. #Bitcoin is water. Crypto is bleach or ethyl alcohol. In the same way that bleach or ethyl alcohol have some limited use cases, so too may a very small number of crypto tokens (if we’re being charitable in our assessment). However, it is a massive error to lump these with Bitcoin #BTC, just as it would be potentially fatal to treat bleach and ethyl alcohol as you do water. Have a sip and find out. We need dialogue, education and public policy that respects Bitcoin (BTC) as water for humanity. —————————- ANALOGY 2: Bitcoin is a diamond Imagine a pile of clear, jagged-edged shards on a table. There are 20,000 or so individual pieces. In their sum, they look like a mass of the same thing. You sift through them and, for the most part, they are differently shaped and sized pieces of broken glass. Upon closer inspection, however, one piece stands apart: it is an unpolished diamond. #Bitcoin is this diamond, and crypto are the shards of glass. To the untrained eye and to someone who has not looked more closely, it’s likely that the diamond will simply be lumped together with the broken pieces of glass. Even then, if one does not know what distinguishes a diamond from broken shards of glass, one may not consider picking it out and treating it differently. Shards of glass can be used for limited purposes. They can be recycled, they can be used for art, etc. But they are not a diamond. The point is that we need dialogue, education and public policy that distinguishes Bitcoin (BTC) from crypto.

It’s time to update the system. #Bitcoin https://youtu.be/_DsK340KkUc?si=VL3pjh6fNQ73ml5J

I came across this image and prose today, and thought it a valuable meme through which to reflect on the concept of freedom, something which those of us in the #Bitcoin ecosystem tend to wax on about quite a bit. Freedom, responsibility, rights, justice, compromise. These are not a spectrum, but a mosaic. "This person took his part, but affected others. He exercised his freedom, but with injustice. Freedom can’t be exercised as everyone wants. Justice disappears when you harm others. I’m not talking about morality, I’m talking about the bad exercise of freedom."

As we head into the U.S. playoffs, latest stats suggest Team Blue is slightly more likely to take the title than Team Red. It’s close though and will likely come down to the wire. If this plays out, Team Red has a lot of major decisions to make in the off-season: possible changes to front and back office; key on-field roster changes; and possibly exploring new ownership structure. It’s no huge victory for Team Blue though. Both clubs will need to contend with similar challenges in the off-season: an aging roster; diminishing membership/booster numbers; growing competition from alternate leagues. Given these trends, it’s very likely that ownership teams and management representatives from both clubs will meet this off-season to discuss and revise terms for the league. There could be new media rights arrangements, a refreshed marketing framework, revised playoff structure for 2028, etc. There are various options to explore and no doubt some things will be contentious. However, with aligned incentives and increased concentration and overlap between the clubs’ ownership teams, there’s a good chance they’ll be able to settle on updated terms.
