What is something in recent times that has gone too far but no one will admit?

I used to always wonder how my dad could just fall asleep sitting upright on the sofa. Then I got older and I realised it’s not intentional, the naps find you…

People who can fall asleep quickly, how do you do it?

bitcoin

I'm tired of holding an asset that I'm always worried will crash, is bad for the environment, could get stolen, where the network slows to crawl with even mild usage, will probably depreciate to zero value, and which barely gets used, especially in a big city.

BMW M3 2009, 4.0 V-8 Engine, 420HP, 18'' alloy wheels, Leather interior, 120k miles. Selling for .3 BTC if anybody is interested.

It's been a crazy ride these past 7 years, but I'm selling

Went for a blood donation and one of the staff used the info I provided to reach out privately...

His message said he couldn't resist himself but to message me and I didn't reply because I'm creeped out, who just takes someone's contact and message them like this?

I thought that my number will only be used in the event that my donated blood has some issues or wtv but no he messaged me trying to start conversation... Can this be reported? He had my full IC and Address information as well...

Advice on personal info situation?

I think That dude that went to prison for fraud for Fyre Festival. He is out now and wants to try again.

Who are some exposed frauds that still have a following despite being debunked?

Our Japanese counter part recently transferred a Japanese lady in her 30s who speaks good English to help my team with communication. Through our interactions with her, she often came cross as cold and sometimes even a little bit arrogant. Still I know my team really needs her help and I tried to build a good relationship with her with every opportunity I get.

Last week a few folks from my team were being rotated back to the US and we had a Nomikai with a large group. The lady happened to be seated next to me. I started some casual conversations with her and tried to build some rapport and hear some of her honne. I showed her my wife and kids Halloween pictures and shared some funny stories s when they visited Japan this summer. She started to open up a little bit and shared some of her personal experiences. I thought we had some good conversations. At one point her boss, a Japanese man in late 50s, came over to our table and put his arm around my shoulder cracked a few jokes with us and told me that she’s still single and I should help her to find a boyfriend. Jokingly I pointed to one of my team members who was sitting at another table and told her boss and her that xxx is single. xxx - the guy I was pointing to is a Hispanic American fyi.

I couldn’t believe what I heard next. The lady turned around, looked at xxx, turned back and said in English “I only date Caucasians.”

For a moment I thought she was joking and then realized she wasn’t. I think I had my mouth wide open for a few seconds. I didn’t know what to respond and I just laughed awkwardly and said Ohhh OK. xxx was too far away to hear our conversation otherwise it’s be even more awkward. I changed the topic and started to talk about something else.

Add this one to the list of bizarre experiences through my years in Japan.

At least she’s honest

I have periodontal disease. Apparently it's ok because it's at the stage it can be halted. But if I chose to save my teeth, the way this plan requires, I'd owe this.

I don't have insurance and I funded a good chunk off gofundme. But this is wild. The procedures I'll be doing will still leave me in debt for $8000.

This is the total I'd have to pay to save my teeth.

When I tell people I got a vasectomy, they ask me if I notice any difference in my body.

I tell them yeah, a vas deferens.

Bitcoin is not for everyone!

The harsh reality is that Bitcoin isn’t for everyone, at least not yet.

Do you remember the first time you heard about Bitcoin? It’s likely you had one of three reactions. You either flat-out ignored it, called it a Ponzi scheme, or even considered it to be fake internet money that would never amount to anything. This is the reaction that most people have upon first hearing about Bitcoin. In fact, almost no one becomes interested in Bitcoin or can even understand its value or appeal the first time that they hear about it.

There is a popular theory in the Bitcoin market that the transformation required for a no-coiner to go from knowing absolutely nothing about Bitcoin to hearing about it for the first time, to finally investing in it takes at least 3 interactions with it. Either hearing about it from a friend or family member, seeing it on the news, or even having a life experience that forces them to learn about it. Recent experiences such as the banking crisis in the US, and also record inflation causing the value of our savings to seemingly disappear overnight. People who were affected in these situations were forced to finally learn about Bitcoin.

After you have completely fallen down the rabbit hole of Bitcoin, there is no going back. You view it as the future. Not only will it help to change the world, but it will also help to change our lives financially as well. You also begin to want to help Bitcoin grow and help protect the future of the people we know. This is why so many of us try to teach our friends, family, co-workers, and acquaintances about Bitcoin. On the internet, Bitcoiners are often truly excited and generous with their time to help people who are wanting to learn about Bitcoin.

We love to say that Bitcoin is for everyone, and that is true; just not yet.

The truth is that in the current world you either need to have one out of these three qualities to be interested in Bitcoin.

The first is that you need to be open-minded or curious. Most of the people who first got into Bitcoin were willing to listen to new ideas, and open-minded to what the future could hold. They were willing to take a chance on something as risky as Bitcoin, which had no guarantees. Being able to see how much potential it truly had.

The second mindset that you needed to have was to be interested in finance and investing. Unfortunately, while Bitcoin was much cheaper, not that many people actually knew about Bitcoin. It was only the curious, cypherpunks, or people that kept up to date on everything happening in the finance and investing world. Once these people became aware of it, they still needed to have an open mind to be able to see its potential and begin investing in it. Most people simply aren’t thinking about money or investing and are simply oblivious to Bitcoin.

Finally, the last thing that you needed to have to get into Bitcoin was a real financial emergency that happened to you. People who live in countries that have seen hyperinflation instantly were able to understand the value and importance of Bitcoin. When banks around the world began collapsing, a whole new group of people were able to understand Bitcoin. When the war between Russia and Ukraine broke out, more people learned, and the same with the Canadian trucker crisis as well. The sad truth is that most people won’t actually learn or become interested in Bitcoin until they really need it.

There will come a time when having Bitcoin isn’t thought of as an investment or even a high-risk asset. There will come a time when it is thought of the same as holding cash. When stores are accepting it, people don’t even need to think twice about it. That is the time when Bitcoin’s protocol will have progressed to the point. Bitcoin at this point will have already caused the largest transfer of wealth that the world has ever seen. Only then, will Bitcoin be for everyone.

Who needs Bitcoin?

I told her it's because I actually have a condition that's pretty unfortunate. You see, my body is actually not capable of producing its own alcohol.

My daughter asked why I drink so much beer

Just an interesting thought :

With 180 days left, till the 4th halving on 24 April 2024, there's only 162106 BTC left to be mined, till said date.

The fifth Bitcoin halving is expected to happen around 2028 when 1,050,000 blocks are mined, i.e., 98.4375% of the whole BTCs.

After the 5th halving, the rate of new Bitcoin creation will be significantly slower.

This would potentially increase the perception of Bitcoin as "digital gold" due to its scarcity, which will attract more long-term investors.

Bitcoin will have been in existence for almost 20 years. As it matures, it will become more integrated into the global financial system, leading to increased stability.

I think the future looks bright.

162106, the amount of BTC that will be mined till the next halving.

Bitcoin is the reason middle class people are going to make it through financial barriers where elites hold majority of the wealth.
I’m in my mid twenties and after learning about bitcoin and blockchain in general, accumulating BTC through bull/bear market I can proudly say holding bitcoin makes me powerful and safe at the same time.

I can sleep soundly at night knowing no banks can freeze my assets or hold them on the whims of governments and agencies.
