Thoughts about that... and how knowing this will lead to a new job category / role (just during the interregnum) within institutional treasury management teams. New title can be called something like utxo input/output manager... could even automate to a degree. Obvi there's more to unpack there, starting with "why even?" but if you check my bio it should be obvious why even. 

The future is coming on faster than brains can process it all.  

 Wow. Just wow. 
We're so early and too late at the same time. 
Depending on perspective, this rate of progress is either excruciatingly slow of face-melting fast.  

 disturbing  

 Yegor, did you ever use Google and Android apps previously? I'm also curious about the graphene experience but concerned I might miss out on some of what have become (at least to me) essential apps.  

 Isn't there a legal principle that financial privacy (or any privacy) is an inviolable human right, exceptions only when there's probable cause articulated in a warrant or involvement of a third-party with access to the "private" knowledge? 

 Interested to hear thoughts in this direction, too.  

 Neither a big risk nor courageous on their part, just by the numbers and the structure. The real front-page news will be when a financial advisor of similar stature takes self-custody of bitcoin and makes their announcement.  

 Awful
Just awful 
Worse that it took fully 6 seconds for me to get there 

 Wondering whether this will be discussed in the board rooms of financial institutions still struggling to home-brew their own stablecoin. 🤔

 Favorite cut? 

 Tasty
Delmonico among my faves. Good fat content.  

 Interesting.
Are you cutting your own because you're also harvesting your own? 

 Ah... got it. 

I'm fortunate to have a local butcher (with abatois) who sells a half or quarter beef for <$4/pound. I'm quite happy to have that opportunity but would prefer an even more direct stomach-to-cow relationship. 

I like your retail solution though. Cutting your own probably brings you "closer" to your food, for sure.  

 Just added this episode to my fountain queue.  

 @Whitney Webb any thoughts on this? 

 what were you selling? 

 When available on Audible, too? I like to do both paper and audio... but audible is my prey over Kindle.  

 yes. ordered yesterday and looking forward to receipt Friday.  

 thanks I think 🤔 
is that a gift for me?
pretty cool, regardless 

 Entonces, muy amable, pana.  

 This would be nice... though tbh I only understand 80% of what you just said I can point to a potential use-case with a ready made user base(s)... no need to wait for the adoption curve. 

...Wondering how one might implement an 'internal nostr' for a company to replace the typical suite of Microsoft products (outlook, office, teams, etc.). 

///skipping past all the general and specific requirements you might want to dump into Jira for your agile story... straight to a potential limiter (with silver lining)///

This might imply need to 'translate' items in & out to support external comms for business, etc. Or, could simply not translate at all in order to 'compartmentalize/sequester' the company nostr instance (to prevent spillage of any sort). 

Banks, university researchers, healthcare, government... all endeavors that might consider inviting the Lost Boys Kiefer Sutherland character in the front door b/c they see advantage. (Give it some time and shake lightly, et voila! You've made bitcoiners.) 

 Samourai is same or different in your opinion? 

 Looking forward to this.  

 lulz
thanks for that  

 Sincere question here: did he (Ross) or did he not solicit (and pay for) a murder for hire?  I'm not asking whether it was entrapment or whether there were extenuating circumstances. I just want to know whether the reporting was accurate about that element.  

 thanks for sharing that. 
I was unaware of the charges being dropped in a separate jurisdiction.  

 I waiver between the long-form email with action items clearly marked, etc. andthe professional yet pithy equivalent of "let's discuss."

What's your preference? 

 Need an audio warning on something like this in future. Maybe, "Warning! Do not play this audio more than once unless you want to throw up a little on your mouth." 

 I'm here. 
This is me. 
I wouldn't say anything here that I wouldn't also say to a room full of strangers.  

 will check it
thanks 

 Is Tuur hara on nostr? 

 Thank you 

 I wonder whether there are opportunities there... I mean, a door-closes, window-ope s kind of thing.  

 They beclown themselves... 
Begging for no one at all to take them seriously they legislate against gravity and rotation of the earth. 

 I used to walk them through downloading the Strike app. Now I just share my Swan Force link. 

 Mark Jeftovic at bombthrower.com was the first person I ever heard posit that ethereum would become the defacto CBDC either directly or with a new government token riding on that chain. 

So, this sounds about right.  

 I'm sure they did, Marty. 
they almost certainly reported it, too.  

 Do you think that will be less of an immediate issue if people use appropriate privacy tools to protect the status of the rest of their stack? 

 What you say makes sense. 
Do you also see the possibility that game theory will make 'zero KYC' options an attractive offering both for individual companies/merchants and for jurisdictions?

All one needs to do is to break the seal and recruit first followers like Sampson Maow (sp). is trying to do.  

 sadly, I agree
sometimes I forget many people are not oriented to care.  

 Similar to "dusting" with btc from a sanctioned address, in a way...
Interested to see more answers to your hypothetical, Semisol.
