Good lookin’ feline.


Edit: There are still tons of things not using base 10 today.


Different cultures might have different symbols for each number. $ might equal 1, @ might equal 2… and so forth. The symbols don’t matter. The symbol 10 is comprised of a 1 and a 0 and means “Now I have this extra 1, and I’ll start counting to my limit again. When I hit that limit I will add an extra 1 and I’ll write 20”.

A base 12 system might write: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, X, T, 10. Here X is equal to the value Ten, T is equal to the value Eleven, and 10 is equal to the value Twelve.

In binary the value of Two is written as 0010 exactly for this reason: I start with 0000, I go up by one and I get 0001. If I go up once more I will overflow my limit, so I have to store that extra value to leave space for me to start again, 0010. I go up once more and get 0011. If I go up once more that will overflow my limit again, so I have to store that extra value to be able to start again, 0100. 0101, 0110, 0111, 1000…. And so forth.

The symbols do not mean anything. As long as a mathematician knows the value the base system really doesn’t matter. The different base systems and symbols are just different fonts wrapped around the same value.

Different cultures might use the same symbols 0-9 in different ways, but that doesn’t matter as long as the value is constant. A mathematician on earth and a mathematician from another galaxy would be able to communicate mathematical ideas as long as they agree on what base system to use, or what base system to convert their preexisting base systems to.

What I mean by value in all this is the sum of a set — what you get if you only count in base 1.
Value of One is equal to one 1: 1,
Two is two 1s: 11,
Three is three 1s: 111…
Ten is ten 1s: 1111111111…


Then I don’t know.


Not all cultures use base 10. Some cultures are base 12 and count by the three joints on every finger (12 on each hand).
But in general, especially the western world counts in base 10 probably because of ten fingers. Peoples that didn’t use base 10 most likely had to adapt to Europeans or other cultures who did use it, and it just stuck.

There are still tons of things not using base 12 today:
Clocks are base 12 for hours and base 60 for minutes and seconds.
A dozen (eggs) is 12.
A score (years) is 20.
12 inches equals a foot, and 3 feet equals one yard.
Computers are coded in binary.

The great thing about mathematics is the fact that it doesn’t matter what base system you use, cause it’s all convertible. Digits, numbers… none of it matters as long as a mathematician knows the countable value.

Zoom out. Don’t stress about perfectly timing the market; now’s as good a time as any to acquire Bitcoin.


Population’s going to increase while bitcoin will stay the same (if not decrease because of lost coins). So even less than .00226 BTC per person.

The members of the #100pushups corps are Bitcoin’s strongest upholders of freedom and prosperity.


Certainly, but I’d be surprised if they figure that out. Highly doubt that’ll work successfully.
It’s easier to leech off of the work of others like a parasite, than to put in the work yourself.


One day in the not so distant future communists will claim that #bitcoin was unfairly distributed.

They’d much rather take your money and confiscate all your work’s achievements than to produce any iota of value themselves.

Code is free speech. Banning #bitcoin, #bitcoinmining, and nodes is a tyrannical attack against your freedom.

As long as the citizens think the government can fix every issue (orchestrated by the government itself) by confiscating and using other people’s money, the government will continue to take, steal, plunder, and rob you blind instead of actually addressing the root cause.

These people always take from others, but never take responsibility themselves.

It’s a Kleptocracy.

It’s a feature within Startpage. Anonymous view kinda acts like a VPN. It opens the website through a “shield” that blocks trackers, fingerprints, and provides a secure HTTPS connection.

Start page is great, especially the “anonymous view” option.


Still skeptical, but I’ll have a read/check out the book you mentioned 👍🏻


I’m highly skeptical of this. Just because Tesla was hugely influential in the field of electro physics, does not mean he was correct about everything. The Aether has never been detected in any way shape or form; it’s not observable or measurable or detectable, like it doesn’t exist. Certainly it’s not set in stone that an Aether does not exist, but no one has been able to prove its existence.

There’s no need for any luminiferous medium for light to travel through to explain how light works.


Day 12 of #100pushups until #Bitcoin hits $100K.
50x2 regular.
Did you remember to buy Bitcoin today? I did.


The speed of a photon never changes. Light itself never slows down or speeds up. The average speed measured over a set distance in a medium will of course vary, but the speed of the photon will always be constant.
Sound is not the same as light. Sound needs a medium to vibrate through, thereby changing its speed. Light does not.


All photons, through all mediums, travel at the speed of light. In a denser medium there are more interactions between photons and atoms. But the photons themselves always travel at the speed of light, no speeding up or slowing down.
Analogy: Two people can run at the exact same speed, but the one that has to jump through barriers and take detours will lose to the person who runs in a straight line.


“Capitalism” doesn’t exist. It’s a strawman-buzzword created and used by communists so that they can define the terms themselves. Don’t let them bend reality to their every whim.

A free market isn’t a “system”; it’s a lack thereof.


Day 11 of #100pushups until #Bitcoin hits $100K.
25x4 in between sets of weighted pull-ups (22 lb) at the gym.


I’ve been told that a free market is a utopia.
Quite the opposite is true. The belief that the economy can be centrally managed: that’s the utopia.

No one can know the future, and no one can predict with utmost certainty an economy’s growth. It’s by the very laws of nature impossible to centrally plan for economic success.

Still, the central banks claim to know what’s best for you, the economy, the environment, the future… It’s all fairytale nonsense — all of it. And a bad fairy tale at that; even the tooth fairy can’t create money out of nothing.

A free market never claims to know any of this; it’s decentralized for this exact reason. It’s disingenuous and ignorant to say otherwise.

Do your own research and remember to hold #Bitcoin.


One of the reasons I’m a big fan of FOSS.

You not being a “fan of” evolution does not mean that it isn’t true. As stated by the other nostrs, humans did not evolve from monkeys, rather, humans and monkeys both evolved from a common ancestor. This is true for all living things on planet earth; all life evolved from a common ancestor — like a big tree branching out.
