 Just fyi 

During face melting bull runs, there are still 20-30% pull backs

No being scared pls 
 can i get one of those rn, plz and thank you. 
 so many sackriders trying to get his out of print thesis and his arguments make zero sense.  
 Greg Foss does not understand Bitcoin at all, not sure why he's so prominent  
 While I agree with your analysis I don’t see him espousing anything significantly deviating from
standard bitcoiner talking points.

Which ideas do you find problematic? 
 I know more than a few that did just that.  but the numbers are so high that its very sketchy nonetheless

 yea seems offbase...i have you to thank for learning 

"there is no red. there is no blue.
there is the state and there is you."

I dont think its a controversial take to say a Trump presidency MAY be easier for bitcoiners in the short term though. but politicians lie and Trump + Vance both fucked up bad during the plandemic. 
 I just don't understand the apathy some Bitcoiners have for voting.  
 the general position is that by voting you are playing into the charade. not voting is refusing to buy into their frame of false choice.

 
on another level by voting you are placing yourself below another man and claiming that they represent you because you are incapable of doing so yourself--but thats a deep rabbithole. that @DarthCoin  can speak to much better than I can. 
 You are choosing someone to represent you. Delegating your power to another. 

Not saying I believe all this just stating the positions as I’ve read them.  
 the farther you move away from nature, the more you suffer. 
 meat = food
veg = food's food.

thank you for attending my ted talk.  
 Not voting doesn't make you better, smarter, or more aware of what's going on.

Drop the fucking ... 
 you and the amish are going to FREE ROSS! 
 I understand why someone wouldn't want to vote. I haven't voted since Ron Paul ran in 2008.

It's... 
 it's a simple case:
 0% chance Ross is Free with Kamala
> 0% chance Ross is Free with Trump

For what is a meaningless vote, the 2nd option is patently less meaningless and Ross may never have a better chance than this.

 I was pleasantly surprised that about half the houses on the street had ornaments, candy and even parents w/ solid costumes.  
 If we just get a few thousand people running blossom servers, we could replace YouTube

 Did this make your flight training particularly difficult? it seems like it would.  
  its great that you can monetize a fantastic service and deal with scammers at the same time. $100 is a fair price for first world nations but it may cause DIY users in poorer countries from getting quality support that keep them running their node when facing a tech issue.

Its a difficult line to draw and you had to draw it somewhere.

 The cream rises to the top. I think after @Start9 ‘s   next release that includes easy ways to safely expose services to clearnet, it will get a massive boost in usage.

 Start9 support is insanely good.

 awesome release and very cool to see zap.store develop into a full fledged app store. it would be awesome to have support for shizuku so I can update all my apps with 1 click instead of clicking on each one! 
 Great expose on 'Locate X', a surveillance system that uses device's advertising IDs to create insanely detailed location maps of smart phone users.  data sources are RTB ad platforms and data brokers. 

@GrapheneOS are there any protections built in to Graphene to mitigate this man-in-the-middle style location leaking?

 Solid advice. I’d say the largest difficulty comes from navigation but map downloads on a sim-less device are a thing

 Dear Bitcoiners on #nostr,

For some, when you see or hear someone say they are a progressive/lef... 
 some good insights, it just falls apart at funding those progressive policies. Are there any progressive theories on how to fund these without taking what belongs to your neighbor? it seems implicit that these should be funded through govt theft. Happy to be corrected though. 

Are the progressives that are dipping their toes into bitcoin are just at the top of the rabbithole of private property?

 do you do scented ones as well or just the rustic old school type? 
 this is great not only for existing users but also for dispelling the myth that coldcards are only for advanced bitcoiners. excellent job!

 Also anything from Osho. 
 loved his stuff and then saw wild wild country. he certainly let his cult flag fly later on! 
 they were dead either way. At least they get a bigger payday on the way.
No one thought about em before and now people hate em but they get paid. Probably worth it in their eyes.
