Oh, believe me, I'm sorely tempted...
However, I've been suffering from chronic health for almost 20 years and have dialed back all my activities so it doesn't get any worse - even my SN use has recently taken a hit!
I'd loved to have joined in with the fun in Poland though.
Naturally I'd have taken time out to witness Warsaw's amazingly rebuilt Old Town - a true historical and architectural achievement.
Maybe when your projection hits that big old Soviet building, Poland's own Batman might respond to the call.
Polish Batman's name?
Naturally he'll be known as The Batpole!
Best of luck with your projection. I hope it looks great!
The first nation in the Americas to emancipate themselves from slavery (from Napoleonic France in 1804), it is almost like it's made to be an example of such impertinence ever since...
Thanks for bringing up the Noble Eightfold Path. Always good to read about it.
However, the Buddhist term Aryan doesn't have any connection with the sign of the zodiac Aries.
- Aryan (Buddhism) translation: "noble", "not ordinary", "valuable" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arya_(Buddhism)
Interesting Bitcoin interpretation of it. Best not cite your interpretation as from Wikipedia (unless it's changed dramatically there).
I enjoyed your post tho.
Just ran out of time to add better context.
Peter Schiff once called Bitcoin a âpure ponziâ now wishes he bought some
Gold proponent Peter Schiff, a known Bitcoin critic, now says he wished he had bought Bitcoin in 2010 when a work colleague first introduced the cryptocurrency to him.Speaking in a March 13 interview on Impact Theory with Real Vision co-founder and CEO Raoul Pal, Schiff hinted he missed the early boat on Bitcoin.ÂâDo I wish I had made the decision to have thrown $10,000, $50,000, $100,000 into it? Sure,â said Schiff, adding:âI may be worth hundreds of millions assuming I didnât sell but again I donât know what I would have done had I made that decision.âThe interview involved a debate from Pal and Schiff over whether Bitcoin is on a trajectory toward $0 or $1 million.Just in case you didn't see me politely hang, draw and quarter Peter Schiff, enjoy https://t.co/vr1efNJw3pâ Raoul Pal (@RaoulGMI) March 14, 2024Just months earlier in a Nov. 29 interview with Yahoo Finance, Schiff referred to Bitcoin as a âpure ponziâ that has no underlying value:âBitcoin is a pure ponzi, it's a pyramid, the demand for Bitcoin is based on the belief that you can sell it to somebody else at a higher price.âHowever, in his latest interview, he reveals he seriously considered buying Bitcoin in 2010 when it was around $1. However, he ultimately decided against it, concluding the potential investment was âridiculous.âStill, it doesnât mean Schiff likes Bitcoin
Schiff claims if he did buy Bitcoin he would have âkept quietâ he has never, and still doesnât believe in its fundamentals.âI would have bought it just betting on other people being dumb enough to buy it and pay a higher price.âSchiff added that a successful Bitcoin investment would have made him feel more like a âgeniusâ than a âgamblerâ and therefore, he wouldâve fallen under the same âdelusionâ as Bitcoin investors, which he later described as âgreedyâ and âfoolish.â

Coming back to this, it does depend on how they're measuring transactions.
If it's the number of transactions that's being measured, then you're 100% right - they aren't tallying all of the transactions on Lightning.
The table in the article measures the transactions for each currency by USD value. Therefore their figures do seem to stand up to scrutiny.
I remember sitting in class and saying that a Roman Emperor was the first Pope (I'd heard about this out of class and wanted to be provocative).
My teacher immediately dismissed this as 'rubbish' and turned to chalk on the chalkboard.
To her credit, having a doctorate, she pondered it for a while, turned and commented that the emperor was, in fact, given some sort of priest title.
Keeping with the Bitcoin/Christianity parallels, that'd be similar to the president naming himself as first 'Bitcoin CEO' - and probably demanding the final say on Bitcoin's code (after trying to kill it for decades)...

Uh.. got a fucking source on that?
Good question.
I've no head for figures, it's all gobbledygook to me.
I've just found a possible site that might help with this:
If you can trust the website perhaps you can report back to us with what you've found?
Amish don't normally use certain types of tech, some denominations have chosen to accept them.
I'm a big ebike lover. But I hope their connection to horses doesn't die.
Anyways, here's some further photos to illustrate the change.
Privacy is Priceless, but Signal is Expensive
Instead of monetizing surveillance, weâre supported by donations, including a generous initial loan from Brian Acton. Our goal is to move as close as possible to becoming fully supported by small donors, relying on a large number of modest contributions from people who care about Signal. We believe this is the safest form of funding in terms of sustainability: ensuring that we remain accountable to the people who use Signal, avoiding any single point of funding failure, and rejecting the widespread practice of monetizing surveillance.
Funding details via Wikipedia
The foundation was started with an initial $50 million loan from Acton, who had left WhatsApp's parent company, Facebook, in September 2017.The Freedom of the Press Foundation had previously served as the Signal project's fiscal sponsor and continued to accept donations on behalf of the project while the foundation's non-profit status was pending.By the end of 2018, the loan had increased to $105,000,400, which is due to be repaid on February 28, 2068. The loan is unsecured and at 0% interest.
