@Lyn Alden recommended two fiction series/authors that I have become completely obsessed with… 1. Mistborn (which led me into the entire Cosmere). Brandon Sanderson created such an incredible universe. The Mistborn trilogy is fucking great. The Stormlight Archive is also fucking great (only partway through right now). You should read Brandon Sanderson. (Note: I read the physical books, not audiobook) 2. Dungeon Crawler Carl. In this case, Lyn recommended the audiobook, so that’s what I did. Holy fucking fuck… first of all, the author, Matt Dinniman, is a genius. The writing is excellent. The story is captivating. The characters are both deep and hilarious. Second, the narrator, Jeff Hays, it’s literally a voice god… It’s so fuckity fucking good. I’m on the fourth book in the series already. Every single one is truly outstanding. Anyway, the point is that if Lyn recommends you check out a book, you should fucking do it. #bookstr ?

Weird day on X… I got called a “religious bigot” by a billionaire Scientologist for saying “Bitcoin is for Scientologists.”

Bitcoin is for retards.

The year is 2003. You’re over at your friend Ian’s house playing Game Cube with the boys. There’s at least one addition friend named Ian. You’re drinking Mountain Dew Code Red. After all, MDCR and Game Cube were released in the same year, 2001. You’ve been playing Game Cube and drinking MDCR for two years straight. They complement each other perfectly. Then, your other friend, also named Ian, comes over with a new type of Mountain Dew you’ve never seen before. Mountain Dew LiveWire. It just came out. It’s fucking great. You slam LiveWires and play Game Cube all night. Life is simple and good. Everyone except you is named Ian.

It’s a beautiful day to be alive.

Jeffrey Epstein didn’t launder money with Bitcoin. He laundered money with U.S. dollars in a JP Morgan bank account. Epstein was a JPMorgan client from 1998 to 2013. The bank kept him on even AFTER he was arrested in 2006 on prostitution charges and pleaded guilty two years later. JPMorgan ignored internal warnings and overlooked red flags about Epstein because he was a valuable client. Anyone telling you Epstein has anything to do with Bitcoin is either retarded or trying to sell you something…
