Politicians shouldn’t compete on priorities, but on efficient ways to achieve them.

“No great thing is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig.” — Epictetus, Discourses 1.15.
There were many exchange hacks. There were never any hardware wallet hacks.
Coldcard doesn't count since that was an entropy issue (the seed could have been loaded onto Ledger or any other wallet; it only mattered where the seed was generated).
Most people are trading Bitcoin like they trade stocks.
But it is not a stock.
That is why an explosive price adjustment tends to build up.
There are two types of gamers:
Those who play on higher resolution but lower graphics settings.
And those who play on lower resolution but higher graphics settings.
Which one are you?
I’m so glad Hollywood is not advocating for Bitcoin.
If it did, Bitcoin could actually have been a scam.
Hollywood endorsements are the strongest anti-signal there is.
People think upgrading Bitcoin is hard because it doesn’t happen very often. But that’s not the case.
Bitcoin is being upgraded all the time. The problem is that most upgrades aren’t accepted by the network as canon. Take Lukecoin, for example.
Upgrading isn’t hard, and when real issues arise, it will happen easily.
If you bought silver at its peak, you are down more than if you bought Bitcoin at its peak.
Do people that write text without any proper structure have no musical talents?
I feel those two things are related.
Brevity is the ultimate weapon in the age of AI.
There has to be a better way to update software.
Recently, I find myself installing updates all the time. I assume that's due to the fact that AI has sped up development dramatically.
Updating once a week (ideally once a month) should be the limit.
Goals in life:
- Wife: check
- Kids: check
- Bitcoin: check (at least a bit, could be more!)
- House: depends on the one above
- 200 followers on Nostr: almost there!
Things change.
I used to be strictly passive on social media, now I feel alive on Nostr.
The future is bright. We need to keep working together to keep it so.
I do not care about the price of Bitcoin in the short term.
But I do care about it in the long term.
The problem is today is both short term and long term, depending on how you look at it.
I just bought two 16 TB HDDs for my NAS. The price!
Where did Moore’s Law go?
Excuse me, but I do not want a flying car.
There are already flying cars called ‘helicopters’ and flying buses called ‘airplanes’.
I prefer my car stay on the ground, thank you very much.
Truly, what are the benefits of quantum computing? The only thing being discussed is how it'll break cryptography, and that is a negative.
I’ll never stop being baffled by the fact that Dogecoin and Bitcoin Cash have a combined value of almost $19B.
The market is in the weirdest place I’ve ever seen. Nothing makes sense anymore.
Bitcoin has already front-run the fall.
A big shift is coming.
Nostr is a window into people’s minds.
Once again, people are selling a scarce asset for paper, which is losing its value faster than we though. Brilliant traders.
