Korean lesson of the day: 벼락부자.
벼락 (byeorak) means thunderbolt or lightning.
부자 (buja) means rich person or wealthy person.
When combined 벼락부자 conveys the image of someone who suddenly becomes rich, often unexpectedly or without the slow accumulation usually expected by previous generations.
벼락부자 is nearly every young Korean's dream. No hard work expected, just sudden riches. That's probably also why degen gambling is so rampant here.

It is true that every block has a significant amount of dust UTXOs. I have not measured or defined what is economically unspendable, but I do wonder why hundreds of these tiny transactions always appear on-chain in every single block:

I tried to login with my credentials saved in my password manager but it didn't work. It says Unauthorized. I am pretty sure they are correct so I'll wait for confirmation before investigating further on my side.

Hi ek - it seems your account is locked. Some of the early accounts got locked due to an error on our side. Can you please send an email to: support@predyx.com
We'll send you a temporary password, that you can reset after logging in. Please remember to enter/add your email address before you request second reset.

reply
I'm currently logged in, but something's messed up with how it's using my lightning address. I'm able to make purchases, but not sales.
reply
Yes, I noticed same as well, something is messed up with sell, please try with lower shares 100-200 for now.
We found the root cause, but it will be few days to get it working perfectly. We were using limit sell order flow (meaning you set a sale price, which is pre-set as of now), however, our orderbook still needs more work.
Temporarily, we'll be switching to spot sell order (meaning you will sell at what the current/market price is on the server). If someone sold/bought before that very second, just before you, you may get a slightly different sale price. With this no more nagging "Failed Order" to cancel.
Once we fix our orderbook, then we'll re-enable limit buy/sell where you can actually set a future buy/sell price.
reply
I'll try again, but I was trying to sell small quantities of shares.
reply
Sorry about that, we'll be pushing a major update tomorrow night. All these nagging issues have been fixed in that update.

No worries. I have very low time preference.

“Give them bread and circuses, and they will never rebel” - Juvenal
In ancient Rome, the poet Juvenal ironically expressed the phrase: "panem et circenses". Bread and circuses.
He criticized the strategy of power to silence the people, to keep them calm and happy.
As long as people had their bellies satiated with bread and their minds distracted with games, they would overlook the rest of the problems.
Two thousand years later, the world is very different, but the concept of "bread and circuses" is still alive.
Instead of gladiators in coliseums we have football, Netflix and TikTok.
Instead of emperors throwing wheat to the crowd, we have politicians handing out subsidies.
And I don't criticize it.
We need basic material security and some entertainment.
But don't settle for that.
And don't be a slave to it.
Don't stop fighting to improve, both individually and socially.

Is there any irrefutable proof that gladiators fought in colosseums? Or that "circuses" means "gladiators in colosseums"? I know there were games (like today olympics etc) and for sure there were fighters, but, colosseums didn't have stands for the spectators, and there was no space for all that..

"XRP is gonna 10x. No way Bitcoin 10x's again".
Told him I'm not interested in XRP. I've explained why before. His ears don't work apparently. I wonder who he's listening to about XRP. I know there's an XRP crew pimping it but what the heck. How are they still pushing this junk?

Air was free in the US for many years. It still is but it's harder to find.
reply
Exactly! The places with free air never seem to have working machines. I'm happy to pay for air on the rare occasions that I need it. That's so much better than driving around, trying to find a gas station with a working air pump.
reply
Interesting, here in Portugal and I think all over Europe, the air at the gas stations is free!
reply
The bathrooms in Porto and Lisbon were not free when I was there. At least the air is.
reply
yes, there are bathrooms in the street that you have to pay for. You could go to a cafe or restaurant and ask to use the toilet. It's free! Ahahah
reply
One place in Lisbon didn't even have toilet seats! They didn't want anyone dropping a deuce.
reply
In Eastern Europe, almost all toilets don't have seats. I've read that it's healthier!
reply
Depends upon where you go in South Asia, there are no seats because you don’t sit to do your business, you squat. This goes for many parts of Southeast and East Asia, too. You might have noticed that people do a lot of “hunkering down” there. Other places don’t have the knees for it, anymore.
reply
In Uzbekistan you can find a hole in the floor or a toilet is a crap shoot.
This example of seatless in Portugal, Lisbon was an anomaly.
I never sit on a public toilet or even another person's John but it's nice when the seat prevents the splash.
On a side note the toilets that use less water are hilarious. You end up flushing multiple times just to make the matter disappear.

Step Four

At this stage of the negotiation, you will have noted several false claims, and if the person making those claims has not left, they are continuing with their demise.
Even though they have violated your rights at this point, you must continue with respect and honour, although you can be a little more forceful at this point.
Remember, to win you MUST stay within honour, and they must be with dishonour.
So, even though you are setting them up, you must give them a forewarning and begin pointing out their mistakes; again, get all this on the record.
