Goodmorning #nostr. Heading to a Detroit Tigers game today. 🐅


This is great, thank you!


I cut out bread and plan to work on an #antiinflammatory diet. I believe the flour most #bread uses (even the healthy kind) spikes insulin far too high.


#Elon is going off on #X right now haha.


Goodmorning #nostr

The price of any commodity tends to gravitate toward the production cost.  If the price is below cost, then production slows down.  If the price is above cost, profit can be made by generating and selling more.  At the same time, the increased production would increase the difficulty, pushing the cost of generating towards the price.


The difficulty adjustment is genius.

And somewhere in there I'd say there's a fourth decision: When you decide to change your status signaling from things like beauty, power, and material achievement, to things like integrity, competence, and helpfulness.

Almost everyone is geared toward signaling. As social creatures we're deeply wired to signal value to others.

But there's a lot of flexibility in how we signal that.

-We can signal it with shallower things like beauty, lambos, hierarchical dominance, etc. The details will vary between men and women but they have a similar short time preference that few old people on their deathbed wished they had focused more on.

-Or we can signal it with deeper things like integrity, honesty, helpfulness, friendliness, generosity, providing unique thoughts, or providing wisdom. The details will vary based on profession and skillset but they also have a similar long time preference that most old people on their deathbed wished they had focused more on.

#Bloomberg Daybreak used to be very centrist and I enjoyed that. Now that we are in an election year, they have changed their tone to a left leaning bias.


Goodmorning


Really enjoyed this podcast tonight. One of the panelists hit the nail on the head:  We are printing money to service existing debt and then paying interest on that existing debt. It is the definition of a Ponzi scheme.

Most people I know are more concerned with #Russia vs #Ukraine than #Epstein and that blows my mind. MSM mind control.


The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that's required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust. Banks must be trusted to hold our money and transfer it electroni-cally, but they lend it out in waves of credit bubbles with barely a fraction in reserve. - #Nakamoto


the irony


The international gold standard worked for several decades during peacetime but was inherently flawed from the start due to how many claims it enabled to exist on such a small monetary base of actual gold, and it failed its first test as soon as war broke out between major powers in Europe. - Broken Money, (Alden p. 301-302) #goldstandard

“Gold is the best among just about every metric and is the commodity with the highest stock-to-flow ratio by far. The one weakness it has compared to other commodities is that it's not very divisible.” - Broken Money, Lyn Alden.


Qualities of sound money from chapter 2 of nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a's Broken Money

“- Divisible means that the money can be sub-divided into various sizes that are suitable for different sizes of purchases.

- Portable means that the money is easy to move across distances, which means it must pack a lot of value into a small weight.

- Durable means that the money is easy to save across time; it does not rot or rust or break easily.
Fungible means that individual units of the money don't differ significantly from each other; one is as good as any other.

- Verifiable means that the seller of the goods or services for the money can easily check that the money really is what it appears to be.

- Scarce means that the money supply does not increase quickly.
Utility means that the money is intrinsically desirable in some way; it can be consumed or has aesthetic value”

#btc #UTXO question: what is the best way to remove the headaches of consolidating them? If I understand it correctly, it is smarter to purchase larger chunks of btc and withdrawal to cold wallets less often to avoid the large amount of utxo’s to consolidate? Also is it better to consolidate immediately rather than waiting to merge a large amount? Any resources appreciated, thanks.


Satoshi’s gift is a private property system that not only overcomes the human condition, but leverages it.

Bitcoin is defended by greed to enforce fairness.

There are no admins, no managers, no kings or presidents. Don't create them.

Be humbled by it, appreciate it as it is ❤


good morning nostr, bitcoiners cheering this on are part of the problem

Me knowing there’s soybean oil in the candy: 🚫


Anytime you find yourself arguing about something gender-related, for or against, stop and think about how few times this has actually happened in real life. This has become a big national political issue, but what percentage of your monthly interactions in the past year have included pronoun or similar disagreements between yourself and someone else *in person*?

Somehow, I have reached age 36 and this has not once been an issue in real life. Has it ever been an issue in your life? Unless you live in like one of four cities in the world or have the unfortunate role of being a liberal arts college professor, probably not. Let them deal with it.

Social polarization is a method of control by those with the money, so that you focus on something other than the money. They create theoretical problems to distract you from something more important.

For this decade in particular, it is important to focus on the money. Show empathy and tolerance and love and acceptance toward all, and really just be based, but focus on the money. Because that is what they are trying to distract you from, like a magician.

Anyway, good night.


Swan to buy then to Coldcard for bull storage (btc sessions tutorial). Then bring a small amount into Nunchuk for hot wallet.

I’ve always been amazed that people go cashless, meaning they literally walk around and even travel without cash, and just rely on cards to pay.

Credit and debit cards are centralized and can be shut off or denied for all sorts of reasons, or can run into technical issues. BTC/LN is better because it’s decentralized, although it still needs power+internet and merchant acceptance. Cash as physical bearer asset money is great. Of course I wish cash was redeemable for something sound, but maybe in the future that’ll be the case again. In the meantime it’s good to have a few meals or taxis or hotel rooms worth of cash on hand.

I always have a diverse mix of digital and physical payment methods on hand, so I never get caught unable to pay.

So far in life I have only had one instance where I couldn’t pay. I was at a restaurant in Cairo a few years ago and their card machine/connection was down, and were only accepting cash. I had physical US dollars but they were part of a bigger corporate restaurant chain and so didn’t have the flexibility to accept them. My husband normally carries Egyptian currency but didn’t have any on him that day, and since he carried it, I previously did not. Neither did our friend that was with us. So we had to go on an awkward search for an ATM for a while and then come back and pay. And from that point I iterated, so I always carry Egyptian currency in Egypt as well as my other methods. And it has come in handy a bunch of times, when my husband needs some spare cash for tips or something I always have a little stockpile ready to go since I am a stickler about always having a certain amount whereas he is more flexible.

I always have a kind of “prepare for everything” type of mentality and like to be in control of my situation, and thus always have like backups for my backups in various contexts, including payment or being able to access various types of value anywhere, even when such preparation is not really needed.
