    BTC 40k. very nice. It’s all going to happen again, and bigger. Nocoiners will cope and seethe instead of trying to figure out what they’re missing, to their detriment.

    Briefly touched 39k today. A very interesting use case for BTC and the lightning network is AI. No better way currently to send micropayments like those that could fuel the compute needed.

    There's a laundry list of things the government and media have lied about or suppressed, especially recently. To deny that is to live in a fantasy world. I think it is better when the government and mainstream media do not have a monopoly on dissemination of information. You may disagree.

    my leader? lulz. I just think an entire thread bitching about this guy is hilarious. It's a net positive (for me, and American society in general) for there to be one social media site not completely co-opted by the government and mainstream media apparatus. That is what is so distressing to everyone concerned, not the hate speech. you seem to need a break from Elon/X discussion. No need to worry. If this thread/forum are correct we're rapidly moving towards a world where X is a money pit, Tesla is obsolete, and SpaceX is not the leader in space exploration. I mean when have these prominent posters here ever been wrong?

    It looked to me that he's reached the realization that this is how it's going to be. Then you have to embrace it. He actually dodges the question early on if he regrets buying Twitter. But, I think he's now pot committed personally. It's obvious that the government/media do not want X to continue. The time tested ad/media boycott is evidently not going to work so it will be interesting to see what they come up with next.

    I think he probably wants to rehab his image as far as clarifying his thoughts, or clearing up people's view of him as an antisemite. If that helps keep some advertisers, fine. Telling other prominent advertisers to GFY directly tells me he is unbothered by their input. I saw early last year that twitter had 1.5B in debt servicing and 1.5B in expenses. Assuming they don't bring in a penny, that's 3B a year loss. He currently owns 423 Million shares of TSLA. At 244 a share, that's 103B at his disposal. I think he can ride it out if he really wants. From his remarks, it seems like he'd be open to that. He basically told the CEO of Disney that he couldn't money whip him, soooo. I only watched the first 20 minutes, but I thought Sorkin did a good job. It was not what he expected. You also have to understand that Sorkin's baseline is kissing big wigs' asses on TV, so he was unlikely to flip on the spot at a big event.

    What's the point of having the ultimate fuck you money if you don't sometimes say, fuck you? Of course this board that has spent the last however many pages concern trolling about how advertisers would sink Elon is stung that he is apparently unbothered. He basically said fuck you to all of those posters too. Looks like they'll have to find another weapon to try to take X/Elon down. Perhaps more frivolous federal lawsuits or maybe direct legal action against him is up next? The reason that Elon/Twitter/X has caused such a frenzy since day 1 is that, as he said in the same interview, "The degree to which old Twitter was basically a sock puppet of the government was ridiculous." That's it.

    mining update today. Jack working on something. Also wrt Stratum

    Subway is considered overpriced? No wonder you pack a lunch. When I think of Thundercloud I think of dirty hippies making my sandwich. Meh Jimmy John’s is just terrible. Jersey Mike’s and Potbelly clearly sit at the top of the sandwich pyramid.

    You're right. It's working as intended. Eventually there be more extensive exclusion of transactions. Pools or smaller miners that don't exclude will make more on the fees for those extra transactions so the incentive will be there for someone to mine them. (It's not called gas btw that's Eth) For now, miners can point their machines to other pools to show their dissatisfaction. Home mining and small miners will be important in the future for decentralization. Also, there's been a new mining protocol in the works for a while that is supposed to address some of this, no idea on ETA. Stratum V2. Politicians are mocked here pretty regularly, but I too directly brought up the B word. Won't happen again.

    Duh. Ant getting the basic details wrong again, but claims to have knowledge on the subject. Bitfinex/Tether can be squeezed. As can Binance/CZ. He’s pleading guilty to violating anti money laundering laws and Binance paying $4.3B fine. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidjeans/2023/11/21/binance-ceo-cz-in-discussions-to-step-down-as-criminal-investigation-ends/?sh=5f76b58c4aca

    He definitely has a foreign policy outlook in line with us. Pro-Ukraine, pro-Israel. Not sure how much that matters given their level of relevance. You have to fuck up pretty bad, over a long period of time for someone like this to get elected. Thus, all the hand wringing and “concern” from people of a certain persuasion. The bar is pretty low for him to look good. I know nothing of the Argentine system of government, but politicians like this seem to always underdeliver. The sky will not fall. As far as this thread goes, El Salvadoran officials are already planning to reach out regarding Bitcoin. If that gains traction, it could be meaningful.
  13. Goliad
    Which people are concerned?
  14. Goliad
    Libertarian Javier Milei has won election as President of Argentina. Election was fueled by decades of corruption and official inflation rate (purposefully understated) of >100%. Relevant to this thread, he's run on dollarizing their economy to try to tamp down their inflation quickly. He also calls central banks scams and is partial to Bitcoin. It will be interesting to see how much of his ideas get enacted. Argentina is now by far the largest country to elect a Bitcoin friendly candidate to executive office. It appears to be going pretty well in El Salvador so far. Get your popcorn ready.

    You're free to trust the motives of Blackrock and Coinbase at your own peril. FWIW, Brian Armstrong and Coinbase were Big Blockers that actively pushed away from decentralization. That may seem like ancient history, but it was a big deal.

    But whales aren't going to custody their own coins. They'll be in staking pools. The top 4 pools have been well over 50% of stakers since the switch. And now, guess what? Blackrock will become one of the biggest eth holders, maybe the biggest. Their coins will be in custody I believe at Coinbase. You think they'll keep their fingers off the scale of development? Doubtful. Eth is/will be captured. Youplayedyourself.gif
  17. Goliad
    Not true with regards to proof of stake protocols like Ethereum.
  18. Goliad
    Some chatter the last couple days about this Treasury auction. A good thread here for the novices like myself about how they’re run.
  19. Goliad
    Oh
  20. Goliad
    Now…maybe?

    Notorious nocoiner launches his own shitcoin. Of course it incorporates “climate” and “AI”
