After food and shelter are covered, buying anything but bitcoin is probably irrational in some sense.

Don't see any synergy between AI compute and hashing at all. Totally different hardware needed, AI use can't flex for demand response (your service customers can't tolerate randomly going offline like hashing biz).

Pure stock pump attempt.

More interesting questions are, do the clothes they make look more or less different? Where are they all manufactured? Designed? Who owns the brands?

It would be trivial for them to weasel the definition of "lawfully owned" to allow seizure, the same as any other asset seizure.

Tells you universal health care might be on the way in the USA, if the UK history from the Boer war is any example: https://history.port.ac.uk/?p=2264

They simultaneous think the younger generation are softer, but also more dangerous.

They consider younger generations weaker, but also more criminal.

Less able to survive, but somehow dominating and threatening to the current order.

Any time you see someone arguing these kinds of contradictions you know they're a fool.

When a corporate like Pizza Hut run a promotion, it is not to shift ingredients near expiry. It is to achieve a revenue target set by their bosses which is nearing due.

Anyone been following this story? No love lost for the Russian government, but seems to set a dangerous precedent that Linux is essentially a US controlled project.

It's not the advertising I mind, it's the dragnet surveillance that underpins it.

And completely unnecessarily -- we had over a century of advertising which didn't rely on surveillance which worked very well for businesses and their customers. The idea all advertising needs surveillance is a myth.

A channel is what connects lightning with the base layer. Without channels there is no connection to real bitcoins.

Same story with Twitter.

Remember the Arab Spring and Western governments celebrating the role of Twitter in organising protest against repressive regimes?

Good money isn't free

Someone's going to fork the country

One of the big misunderstandings of healthcare is that even under a non nationalised system, other people will almost always be paying for your treatment.

Think of a fully privatised health insurance model - the premium you pay each month, over a lifetime, would still never be enough to cover one very complex health issue like cancer where the costs can run into the millions.

So whilst people in the US think they are paying for themselves, and reject the idea that they should pay for others, they manifestly are. Unless they're fortunate enough never to experience serious illness or accident, or simply have millions in personal wealth to cover these possibilities out of pocket.

He's almost coming around to bitcoin too: https://world.hey.com/dhh/i-was-wrong-we-need-crypto-587ccb03

100%, selling a preflashed phone just screams honeypot or supply chain attack risk.

If you care enough about the benefits, it's best to learn and do it yourself. Otherwise it's a larp.

I would also add that this is still "net bullish", as it demonstrates Bitcoin has far passed the point of being ignored. The race is on for political & corporate groups to try to understand it. What they do with what they learn remains to be seen...
