 The YT algorithm must be the most stupid algorithm of any social media platform.
Seriously, how can it be that stupid in 2024? 
 What exactly do you mean?
I just want it to learn my behaviour to show me relevant stuff. But it seems it just takes the last thing I was interested and then shows me 80% of that stuff.
I immediately click “don’t recommend channel” when the title says “scary truth” or shit like that, but somehow it is too stupid to realise that… 
 It’s called global warming. It doesn’t need to be hot the have excessive heat. It’s about what we think it is. Just trust, don’t think. Thank you 
 My best mate and I had a phase for a few years when we also only collected FLAC and ALAC files. 
Now I don’t have the time anymore. And I also don’t have the equipment to really appreciate the difference. Back in the day I used to listen with AKG K701 studio headphones, now I don’t have them anymore. I’m just streaming everything now. And I’m using AirPods Pro 2. I think they did a great job with Spatial Audio and for the lazy person (me) that’s good enough for now.
Let’s see how that will work out in the long run. Streaming is kind of the equivalent of fiat money, isn’t it. You don’t own shit, you can be rugged anytime and probably will be at some point. Not your library, not your music… 
 So if you say on social media "RIOTS ARE THE GOVERNMENTS FAULT" on social media, you can get arre... 
 Big if true 
 I saw something like this years ago. I’m wondering if this is fake or not. We’ll see September I guess

 So, recommending Bitcoin to someone looks like this right now:

On-Chain: well, that’s the proper way but it can get really expensive really fast and you need to manage your UTXOs. Can’t recommend, at least for the average Joe who just wants to tip toe.

Lightning: well, running your own node is too complicated and using a LN wallet that’s non-custodial can still end up you losing everything because they just stop their service. Can’t recommend anymore.

Exchanges: well, easy and no hustle, but they can rug you. At least they are regulated. But I had a bad experience with Strike already. Don’t want to recommend but looks like the only option for newbies… 
 #memestr, someone get on it. The template''s waiting. Im just lazy right now😂
nostr:nevent1qqs... 
 Explain please 
 Aahhhh 
 So Mutiny was just a fucking rug pull after all? 
 I can’t 
 So, what you are saying is Roger Ver was right after all? 
 It is non-custodial but you have to be a hacker and run some own shit at home or something. Maybe a LN node or something. Don‘t really know tbh. I want that stuff to work. And they just stopped working. Well, I guess they gave „notice“. But that didn’t reach me. Anyway, luckily it was just a few thousand sats, but still annoying. 
 Oh, a completely new rabbit hole then… he was called Bitcoin Jesus in the early days and was in the bigger blocks side in the blocksize war. Big advocate for Bitcoin Cash. 
 Thanks. No problem. Just annoying;) 
 🤣 
 I'm pissed off because everyone and their grandmother was hyping Mutiny and a few months later it's like "oh sorry, too bad if you don't spend your whole life on social media and miss when we announce that what we actually built was horse shit and now go fuck yourself".
But yeah, theoretically I can spend the time I don't have because I've got a wife and kid figuring out how this shit works and getting my sats back. Great product 👍🏽 
 WHAT

 Not really surprising in Cananda, is it? 
 We are real time witnesses. And have the internet to share and talk about it. Amazing to me is that exactly those people who support this trend are the ones who say: how  could the germans fall for Hitler? 
 Oh, how I (not) miss this subliminal toxicity of Twitter. 
 There are people still taking Covid vaccines? I highly doubt that… 
 I’m sorry if they are friends or somewhat close to you. It sounds harsh but natural selection seems to do its thing. 
 Interesting article. I wonder if the boxer really was born as a woman. It could be that we all fell for fake news. Just saying…

 I’ve listened to his for 15 minutes.
What a bunch of bullshit.

 When he said that the mind of the crowd is more complex than the mind of an individual I turned it off. 
 A bit harsh but she is right. They should make a transgender category. Problem solved. 
 Did you hear about the biological male who was allowed to beat up a biological woman at the Olympic games?
If he continues to do that a few more times he’ll even get a medal for it.
What a time to be alive.
Happy days 😁👌🏽

 I can appreciate good rap and hip hop, even though it’s not my favourite style of music.
I.e. Kendrick Lamar is dope.
But when I hear rappers with that auto tuned voice I have to turn that shit off.
That shit sucks so bad.

 🤣 come one. 40 is the new 20 
 100% 
 Yeah, it’s horrible. Every song sounds the same too. 
 When did you start to do those round ones? Which age? I do the same since I was 7 or 8 or something like that. Crazy that you are doing those the exact same way I do it. Except for the dots. I made it look more like liquid 
 You wouldn't walk around carrying hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash on you.

Yet a ton of ... 
 First I need the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Cash or Bitcoin. I’d even take ETH 
 Yeah, just need a new iPhone for that… 
 The more Bitcoin conferences I see, the more I like Monero 👀 
 Have fun staying poor ;) just joking. I see your point. There’s truth to that. But if Bitcoin goes mainstream this kind of clown show was unavoidable 
 Thank God Trump made Bitcoin great again. No simps in the crowd at all 😂
Embarrassing… 
 Come on. He might be the second coming of Jesus. There are signs… 
 Nothing beats a 3 yo’s good night kisses. Peak human experience. 
 I would challenge that. 2 and a half yo unexpected random kisses are superior 🤣 
 Hey Brazilians, friendly piece of advice:

Do not drop any baking soda in the ocean any time soon. 
 ? What happened? 
 It’s a genocide and nobody is saying shit. They’ll all rot in hell.

 I can’t believe that Apple still continues the iPad mini but stopped with the continuation of the iPhone mini.
Who buys an iPad mini?
Like, for what?
A small phone that you can use with one hand only makes a lot of sense to me.
But a small iPad? Why? 
 I think I’ve never even seen one in real life except in Apple stores. I’ve seen a few iPhone minis in use. So I don’t understand the decision to not continue the iPhone mini but the iPad mini. Anyways, first world problems 
 Nothing new to talk about anymore 
 Today was a really busy day.
In the morning swimming in the sea for 20 minutes, then kitesurfing for an hour and in the evening a 4*4 Norwegian run. Today I earned my dinner 💪🏽#proofofwork #runstr #swimstr #kitestr

 Ok so I’m somewhere around 60 hours into a fast. I’ll be near 80 when I get to Nashville.

 Who’s db? 
 Bitcoin was the best attempt to separate money and state.
I’m not so convinced it will succeed though.
It looks like it’s being captured from all sides.
Only time will tell I guess.
It might kill the money printer over a long enough time period.
Let’s see 
 Not yet. It’s on my kilometres long list 🤣 
 Why? What is it saying about my concern? 
 Yeah, that’s what I heard about it. I’m trying to figure out how your question is connected to my concern. Is it? 
 Great! Keep it up, mate! 
 Yeah, on don’t forget to train your delts for the the ladies ;)

 First, I’ll fly to
Columbia and get the finest blow I can find. From there I’ll improvise. 
 That’s yet to be seen. Could be a horrible mistake 🤣 
 Yes, it does. Maybe I’ll just go there and kitesurf ;)

 What’s that about? 
 Oh, fuck. I’m sorry. Don’t know what to say
