Today I was able to learn that the proportion of stupid people per group is unquestionably constant, Second Law, so no matter what circle we move in, we will always be in contact with stupid people.
A Miner Solo has mined another block, it must be that the BTG fork is bearing some fruit.
I was able to share with others both the map of conferences on Bitcoin, as well as the map of the Bitcoin ecosystem, excellent tools.
Today I learned about the Austrian school of economics and its concepts about the weight of the individual in the trend and behavior of the market and the economy.
Bitcoin is not an asset, it is a way of life. You learn about life in general. And that the majority does not accept it does not mean that it is not necessary, in the same way self-custody is necessary even if only a minority uses it.

In a world where ppl barely have eye contact or talk to others in person anymore, maybe it's good to say hi or simply strike up conversations with strangers.
went to grab coffee this morning, and someone came up while I was ordering; I think he wanted to see if I needed help, but then he was amazed that I speak Turkish; It was quite funny, I guess he was also curious about where I'm from, and it turned out that I come from the same place as his wife! so he wanted to connect us.
Second story - went to Hamam later today and met some girls while Hamaming 😂 that's probably the least place I would expect to meet ppl while you are washing yourself, but then hey people used to socialize in the Hamam:)

The current monetary system is a Ponzi scheme. But it’s not a Ponzi scheme in the sense that it needs more people joining it in order to continue (although a lack of people can be a big problem as demonstrated by China and Japan in real time). What it needs, in order to not collapse, is more units of the currency. Because the vast majority of money in existence today is debt - it’s owed by someone, to someone. What debt has is INTEREST. There always needs to be more new money to pay for the old money. If the money growth slows down or goes negative (less debt/money is created than is repaid) for an extended period of time, there will simply not be enough money in existence in order to fulfill the claims on the money. This is why deflation is not only incompatible with the current financial system; it's the biggest threat to it.

i was thinking about starting a youtube channel talking about my trials and tribulations in the world of online freelancing over 10 years (and 10 years of analog freelancing before that).
i struggle with starting, like on the one hand i think it might be of some interest , then i have the other voice that just says it will be shit and who cares.
then i see some video from an incel talking about whatever on his phone with 46k view or something and think, maybe i should.
what do you guys think?
reply
make it if it brings you joy to make it

Yes! You could be that incel.

It really depends on so many factors. What's your style, are you bringing anything new & interesting to the table, how well you can find and connect to an audience, how "good" the YT algorithm assesses you, etc. I think the main thing you should consider is - will this content be valuable to yourself? Will it be valuable for your family and (future) children? Will you enjoy and/or learn something in the process of making it? Will you be putting yourself out of your comfort zone in a way that both excites you and scares you at the same time? If the answer is "yes" to all or most of these questions, then I reckon go for it 🤠
reply
ok fuck it, i will give it a crack and try to go peak incel. if after a year or something of uploading content, the channel is crap / low engagement, ill just delete it

Different Forms of Law

Although it is suggested that the word LAW is an acronym for Land, Air, Water, meaning that truth, rights and ethics are universal within these realms, and those who break the law can run but can’t hide, the history of the word seems to suggest a different origin.
The first recorded use of a word meaning “law” dates back to the Proto-Indo-European word Leg-h, meaning to lie, or lay, which may have originated from Proto-Germanic word Laga meaning “that which is laid down.”
The Old Norse word Log referencing law, means “things laid down or fixed.” This transitioned to Old English Lagu, then Middle English, Lawe.
This would explain where the term “laying down the law” got its roots.
Today the law is a complex web of misdirection, deception and fraud, with the last 2500 years of human history becoming blurred to such an extent that it is almost impossible to tell where the jurisdiction of one form of law ends and another begins.
This is by design and has been done to hide the truth; No single person will even reach the bottom of it all.
The law today is fraught with many grey areas that cause disagreement and argument, however the following listed laws gives an elementary clear map.

  • how many SN posts/comments made that AMA attendee after the AMA
I have the feeling that not all AMA atendees were still active on SN after that. If is not too much work...

Do you show your entire house to people visiting you, like a tour?

I saw people doing this (for no specific reason) and came an idea into my mind: what about making them a joke with this "tour"?
Let's say you are visited by some old friends and they never saw your house. As usual they expect you to make them the "house tour", showing each corner of the house, explaining how was built etc and bullshit like that.
But from the whole house, especially you are missing a single room. It could be an empty room, a closet or whatever space, but with a door and you do not open it. When you come close to that door, you just move away and try to evade the answer if they insist to see that room. Will be even more interesting to play an audio record in that room, with a creepy sound like torturing somebody or any other sound you think will bring more attention to the visitor and activated remotely by you when you are close to that door. Nothing scary, just more mistery.
Prepare previously that room with a video camera that start recording the door at any movement.
Then later, just relax with the visitors on the sofa in the living room, talking, drinking etc. You will see that their curiosity for that room is extreme and suddenly will ask to go to the bathroom. For sure they do not go to the bathroom, but to see that room.
And voila! Once they open the door, will see an empty room (camera is hidden). Nothing in there. But will be nice if you have somebody else taking the video of them entering the room (without permission) and put it on a DVD or a USB stick or something. Then when is about to leave, you just hand over the DVD/USB with the recording of them enetering the room and saying: "Thanks for violating my privacy, my friend, I was trusting you."
Seeing their face will be so fun, paramount.
