Cypriot banking crisis in '13. Was already self custodying, but this was my aha moment, realizing the cost holding keys is very negligible vs the cost of the counterparty risk when dealing with fiat-deluded people.
I've since realized that dealing with fiat-brained people is rarely a good idea in any context.
Petrichor.
We can't really turn "freshly rinsed" air into a consumer fragrance, so whenever we smell it, we associate it with what it is, actual cleaner air from rainfall.
Senses are interesting. So is scarcity 😉
Ever? "Childrens' Hospital" in the US! Super niche, but it's a solid case study of a show feverishly attempting every comedy trope imaginable in rapid fire fashion! A lot of it is absurd, but still somehow sticks the landing most of the time.
Today? Tough call, good TV is rare these days. 😔
This. I'm hesitant to go near that stack again until I sufficiently review the code. Samourai wasn't reproducible to build. Lots of holes in that stack IIRC
Yes but they are lazy & hate doing work to a fault, so before they go and chase down your loved ones, they're more likely to blow up the whole world.
I hope they don't.
Stand out a little bit though. The human condition is one of growth & progress, and unexceptional people don't get to participate.

Nah, information is as fundamental as energy and time in this world.
Energy & time are basically everything, but without a language to describe them, they're moot; information is that language. All 3 physically affect each other, which seriously makes things difficult to understand.
Verbal communication is "cosmic communication", a tiny subset of it, and even then, human to human, people still tend to ignore what they don't like hearing.
The idea "Fuck Information" really demonstrates how willfully ignorant humans can be.

All bitcoiners want to hodl forever. If the bitcoin directionally flows from "good" bitcoiners to "bad" bitcoiners over time, that's a risky situation.
If I was ever visited by a future version of myself, and allowed to get the answer to one question only, in earnest, I would ask: "are you sure?"
Other questions I'd consider asking myself seem trivial or selfish. This one cuts deep.
What would you ask?

Damn I wish #Coldcard had a sane warranty like 100000 blocks or something. Just had to tell an orange pill their device was a dud & I couldn't get them another one, and it wasn't that long ago this cycle I snagged that device for this person 😔
Looking for better options as an orange pill signer without vendor lock in. Seedsigner seems like a good jumping off point. Thoughts?

You're sealed in an elevator and are weightless. SCARY!
You don't/can't know whether your elevator is accelerating towards an object (as in freefall) or not (as in empty space). YOUR IMMEDIATE FATE DEPENDS ON IT!
Everythinhg *outside* the elevator determines the elevators acceleration, based on how much those things are accelerating near the elevator. SO DON'T EVER GET STUCK FEELING WEIGHTLESS IN A SEALED ELEVATOR!
A bouncing ball on a train is quite easy to understand.
Why the very same ball following the very same motion over the very same time period in front of 2 people travels a different distance is much harder to intuit, even for a 5 year old.
People never exist in 2 places at once, so relativity is unintuitive. But 2 things always exist in 2 plaves at once, so relativity is helpful in navigating our realm.
He never inhaled, it's all good. 😉

Some low-time-preference bitcoiners thinking of "generational wealth" don't understand the difference between 15 years and 150 years, and the nature of power.
Which is ironic, since bitcoins adversaries figured most of it out centuries ago and have a generational headstart.
Would've replied with an anecdote, but it's reddit so no joy 😔

Not only asian, it turns you into an entirely different human, new nose, new mouth, everything apparently.
To think humans are purely carnivoroua is hilarious. Hammurabi in fucking babylon times knew that folks ate cattle AND grain, and encoded that fact into humanity's first laws.. This was thousands of years ago!
That said, everyone today would do better to eat more beef. No debate.
it's extremely uncomfortable having your heart removed from your brain! Do everything you can to continuously avoid it. Nearly every time it happens, we call it "death"
