  1. I saw a homeless guy in the park eating a block of raw cake mix.
  2. Scott Adams:

    "I’d also like to know how the Holocaust death total of 6 million was determined. Is it the sort of number that is so well documented with actual names and perhaps a Nazi paper trail that no historian could doubt its accuracy, give or take ten thousand? Or is it like every other LRN (large round number) that someone pulled out of his ass and it became true by repetition?"

  3. Would have been like 43000% returns if he'd held it tho.
  4. bitrefill.com
  5. Bitcoin has a longer proof-of-work history, which is the only thing that secures any blockchain.
  6. > The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks
  7. It doesn't. Elon will happily spam your notifications with his own racist tweets directly, even if you don't follow him.
  8. Kinda yeah? They certainly don't navigate into long-term multi-storey parking structures.
  9. Do taxis need to park tho?
  10. If all your money vanished tomorrow you'd have a different argument.

    > However that’s precisely why you freeze the account: to allow you time to follow due process

    Due process comes before the actions.

  11. The only secure blockchain is the blockchain with the longest proof-of-work history.
  12. Waymos are driving themselves around several cities right now.
  13. Nothing specific, simply your own stomach. Every human is different. Some people can eat spicy foods, some people can't. Best strategy is to learn for yourself what make you happy when you wake up and what makes you feel bad. Listen to your own body, make changes.
  14. After trying a lot of things what worked for me was cutting out negative food; usually gluten, lactose, fructose. Probiotics never did anything for me.
  15. Bitcoin was $2000 dollars each in 2017. Now in 2025 it's $104,000. It's set to keep countering global inflation until 2140.

    It ain't done yet.

  16. Bitcoin is pegged to the cost of electricity and is already a decentralized coin with zero percent inflation.
  17. Bitcoin works because you can prove it mathematically without Satoshi's involvement. He made a quote in the recent email dump that reinforces this: "self-evident proof of the majority consensus”. [1]

    The world doesn't need Satoshi for Bitcoin to continue working. And so the reason people want to find his identity is because there exist people in the world who lie, cheat, steal and ultimately kill. Those people want to find Satoshi, to punish him for inventing a fair system of economic trade that doesn't cut them into it.

  18. but the mining reward halves every few years tho
  19. The purpose of banking is to allow people to store their money safely. It is not to allow finance bros to gamble with customer deposits without consent.
  20. Bitcoin continues to clear transactions every ten minutes.
  21. Weed helped my anxiety a lot and I work out more now and lost weight.
  22. People still be angry at receipts.
  23. Inflation is an exploit used to grant more money to the bank admins any time they feel like it. A correctly functioning trading economy has zero net inflation.
  24. There are secure open-source ways to send payments around the world.
  25. You say “in crypto” yet Bitcoin was invented to solve the problem you describe.
  26. Glad you're not in the government. Some people know how to wield power without hurting people.
  27. Do you solve all your problems by shooting people?
  28. Glad you're not in charge of the App Store, going around banning any apps you don't like.
  29. Bitcoin is still clearing transactions just fine every ten minutes like nothing happened.
