I have a BitAxe and finally concluded: next time we have a heat wave, I’m going turn off overclocking. God, I’m so slow sometimes. 🙄

This from the social platform that shall not be named: I predict that a paid VPN built on #NostrVPN will come soon, using #Bitcoin for payment obviously. This government has no clue on how fast technology is moving Spot on!

On Îsle Saint-Louis, Paris, there’s a gallery. Pay them money and they will photograph your iris and turn it into art. Who knows, they might even post it to you if you give them your name and home address. Trendy art for the wall or a massive security risk primed and ready to devour your complete identity in the not too distant future? I didn’t go in.

I’m reading about French politics at the moment and oddly enough a quote from Ronald Reagan’s attack on socialism has popped up. “If it moves, tax it. If it still moves, regulate it. If it doesn’t move, subsidise it.”

USA needs to invade Greenland to stop other countries invading Gr…. oops!

Back in 1946 George saw it for what it was - and nothing has changed.

And as if by magic, the #Bitcoin chart at polarbitcoin.net rotates ccw by 90 degrees - because we all like charts that go up and to the right. Happy New Year!

There are so many #Bitcoin predictions: 90% crash, face melting rally, etc. one of them is bound to be right. The author will feel entitled to say “I told you so”, claim the title of investment genius and be able to charge massive consultancy fees until proven wrong. It’s a bit like the lottery prediction scam… Imagine the lottery numbers range from 1 to 50. Email 1,000,000 people predicting the first two numbers to be selected (400 for each two number combination). With that scattergun approach you’re bound to appear to have the power to predict the future. Cash in by asking for a massive fee to supply the full set of winning numbers, disappear and then retire. Simple!

Happy Christmas! One family tradition is chocolate money at the bottom of the bed on Christmas Day but now with of couple of extras from Mrs Bear, my fantastically patient and understanding wife. Oh thanks @Dominic frisby too.

It looks like the BBC has discovered Bitcoin:
