 How do you do, fellow gm enjoyooors? 
 GM!

Having a GA (great afternoon)! 
 So for 3m USD someone has "bought" one whole polling data point (I know it is not that, but it has been touted as being better than polling). And has generated headlines across the world.
Seems to me to be a quite cheap way of spreading the belief that Trump is winning bigly.
Thinking of this as Truth is certainly 🤡🌎
I think the outcome is still much more uncertain than this, even if I do think Trump will win. 
 Oh eth is down again today? And monero?

 Could not care less for that wanker.

He is good at grifting large government money streams, though. ESG, space and satcom were just there waiting for him... 
 I think you've got that first part wrong. It is homeless women who have to have a boyfriend/protector (or maybe pimp).

 ECB Economists: Nopineapplers May Be Impoverished by Rising pineapple Prices

A new paper by ECB economists describes a 'Pineapple-positive' scenario as one in which the price of pineapples continues to rise significantly and sustainably over time.

"If the price of pineapples rises for good, the existence of pineapples impoverishes both non-holders and latecomers."

 This is soo true. As a European I am pro Harris, the only reason being that I am scared of what will happen if Putin wins the war. Which Trump will ensure.

Bitcoin will do fine with either. 
 I think living in a country that has Russia within 300km of its borders, and having grown up in a town where there are still Russian bullet holes in some old houses gives a pretty realistic view of what kind of state Russia actually is. Russia is no abstraction here.

 Are shitcoin scammers worse than "crypto" haters?
E.g. is SBF or Elisabeth Warren the worst?
My first instinct is to say scammers are worse than haters. But then I realized that the reason for that reaction is that I for some weird reason assumed that the hate has some ideological reasoning behind it, which I could respect.

Buut then many of the haters are really just protecting a grift of their own, or are completely uninformed.

 In the election coverage, does that not make things clearer?

Is Harris being called VP or candidate, in the same context? 
 He should just pass on the advice he got in the movie: "Never go full retard".

It is a comedy about hollywood tropes, of course it is going to have inappropriate jokes...

 So you're uneconomical?? 
 Yeah, it surprises me every time there are toxic comments here. I know some people enjoy being like that, but it is such an anti-success strategy...

 Devil candle?  
 Got vaccinated today. Yellow fever in one arm and the latest Covid in the other arm. Does that trigger anyone?

I would never force anyone to get vaccinated. But I did ask an unvaccinated relative to not come to a week long family get-together where my almost 90 year old mum would be too.
This felt hard, but not doing it felt like it would have been worse. 
 Honestly curious here, are you a bot that just listens to the word Covid and vaccine and spout the party line?
Because there is very little reason for an actual person to find little old me with my 20-ish followers 🤔 

If you are indeed a human, would you have reacted the same way if I had talked about Yellow Fever and Cholera? Is it Covid specifically that is leftist retard, or any vaccines at all? 
 Ummm, typical of what?

People in different time zones?
People with a job?
People with a family?
People with non-nostr hobbies?
🙄

Anyway, to try to answer the question, I have had absolutely no reason to regret taking any vaccines that I have taken. Indeed I am sure that they have protected me from really horrible and potentially lethal diseases.
The idea of travelling to e.g. parts of Africa without hepatitis, yellow fever, cholera vaccines is just bizarre to me.
Would you do that?
Covid vaccines I am less sure of, but having immunocompromised people close to me, I may have helped them avoid getting a possibly lethal disease.

 MSTR is the only way I can get Bitcoin exposure in some of my pension savings. So it is the least bad choice in those circumstances.
I mean, the alternative is traditional stocks...
But where there is an alternative I choose differently!

 Good on Melania for taking a stand to defend abortion rights, unlike Donald.

 For Bitcoin to double from here, it would need an inflow of about $1.2 trillion dollars! That’s... 
 No, that is not how it works. If there were 1.2 trillion USD trying to buy BTC, the price would likely go 10-100x. Remember that it is bidding on the available supply. 
 Slow Horses is such a great show. Production quality, cast…so cool. 
 Yeah! It is fantastic!

I just binged all the books, too. Can really recommend them. They are so well plotted, and so funny. And interestingly the tv series have made enough changes to them that it does not feel like spoilers either direction.

 That is a very "Bitcoin SV take" on the role of the US 🤣 . Founders words should not be taken as gospel and eternal truth.

But yeah, fine. Isolationism has always been a part of the US discourse. But you have turned yourself into the world police, while controlling the world's money. Trying to suddenly pull out of one of those roles suddenly is going to set the world on fire, while at the same time crashing the US dollar. There will be no friendship with any nations for the US...

A bitcoin standard, eventually, may give us what Jefferson was talking about, but letting Putin and his ilk have free rein over the world is a baaad idea. 
 I really like this!
