More: https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/robert-brian-thompson-pleads-guilty-to-insider-trading-and-lying-to-the-federal-reserve/ar-AA1upT8X This article says he earned $772k in profits from the insider trading.

I mean, it's not like he posted a resume quality picture of himself posing with a tree.

I went walking yesterday morning as I normally do and my phone finally bit the dust. I had been walking for about 2 hours and the battery was around 40% and then it went to zero in an instant (phone went dead). So I went and got a new phone yesterday and what a difference it has made! My old phone was about 5 years old and I had been fighting with it to get Silencio working and it often hung up or crashed on me. I think the phone was 97% full on the storage space and it wasn't from videos/images/music (none of which I had on the phone). It just didn't have much storage space to begin with. The battery was already wearing out. I was lucky to complete a 3 hour walk before the battery went from 100% to 0%. I installed Silencio on the new phone and configured it to my account. It runs so smoothly! Not one single problem running now. The map is responsive and scrolls smoothly. The app doesn't hang or crash while recording sessions. I used it for 3 hours this morning and had zero issues. The battery only drained from 100% down to 80%. I feel like if my legs and schedule allowed, I could probably have walked all day. The weather this morning was certainly trying it's best to tempt me.

Saylor (MSTR) supposedly just bought another $4.6 billion worth of BTC over the last 6 days.

I'm a bit surprised that the SLC token generation event (TGE) has not yet happened. For any Surly peeps that have installed Silencio, the TGE will include a lottery component. 100 Silencio users will be selected randomly (supposedly!) to receive 3.5 million SLC when the TGE happens. To qualify for this lottery draw, you need to have earned at least 1,000 noise tokens. This isn't a difficult threshold if you actually use the app and walk around and/or do venue checks. The in app achivements should boost you over the threshold pretty quickly.

Han shot first.

Accuracy isn't the point. They are analogous to Vegas betting lines for sports. Fans bet their convictions. Some might have insider info (player injuries, whatever). It might provide a vehicle for candidates to throw a race ala boxing. You never know. At least the blockchain markets are transparent with the betting action open for all to see.

Between the super moon shining brightly in a clear night sky and the brisk, cool air this morning, my before sunrise walk this morning was very enjoyable. I'm at 199,750 hexes now - just 50,250 to go for that next achievement...

ETH as it currently exists has some technical issues that are limiting it's potential. There are a number of layer 2 add on networks that are trying to bridge the gap, but it doesn't seem like a proper solution. One of the ETH devs just teased an upgrade proposal that might fix some of the issues: https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2024/11/12/ethereum-researcher-justin-drake-introduces-beam-chain-a-total-redesign-of-the-networks-consensus-layer/ That said, ETH's limitations have provided space for competitors to innovate and build a better product (from the ground up). I posted some thoughts here: https://www.pmbug.com/threads/crypto-trading-market-thread.3908/post-116320 There's also some food for thought here (not Gospel - just considerations): https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1856002782026698835.html

It's a segment of Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business talking with Judy Shelton about the Fed, JPow, inflation and monetary policy. Watch if you want to or not if you don't. It's no sweat off my back either way.
