Even though I voted for Trump, if Kamala wins, I wouldn't be surprised.
Pineapple and pepperoni pizza is good, but it's not my favorite. I don't go out of my way to get it.
I can see some business owners accepting shitcoins, and then offering a discount for bitcoin lightning transactions.
Women can. Men have a more difficult time with this. Why? It's the same reason why there's a significant difference between the ease in dating with women vs. men: libidinal difference. A lot of women do enjoy sex, but they don't need it the way men do.
I've used it to buy some meat products from K&C Cattle and Holy Cow Beef. Stopped using the app though when I saw that I could just purchase directly from K&C Cattle using bitcoin. Sad to hear that the app seems to have been abandoned and is a janky mess now.
"North Carolina musician Michael Smith was indicted for collecting over $10 million in royalty payments from Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music, and YouTube Music using AI-generated songs streamed by thousands of bots in a massive streaming fraud scheme.
According to court documents, Smith fraudulently inflated music streams on digital platforms between 2017 and 2024 with the assistance of an unnamed music promoter and the Chief Executive Officer of an AI music company.
At the peak of his operation, Smith allegedly employed over 1,000 bot accounts to artificially boost streams across various platforms. On October 20, 2017, Smith emailed himself a financial breakdown outlining how he operated 52 cloud services accounts, each with 20 bot accounts, totaling 1,040 bots.
He also estimated that each account could stream approximately 636 songs per day, resulting in around 661,440 streams daily. With an average royalty rate of half a cent per stream, Smith calculated that the daily earnings would reach $3,307.20, monthly earnings of $99,216, and annual earnings exceeding $1.2 million.
By manipulating streaming data, Smith fraudulently collected more than $10 million in royalty payments after his bots streamed hundreds of thousands of AI-generated songs billions of times. In a February 2024 email, he boasted that his songs generated "over 4 billion streams and $12 million in royalties since 2019.""
This reminds me of an interview with Bumble CEO, Whitney Wolfe, saying how the company is exploring integrating AI agents to talk to other AI agents on their app to help sort through potential selections.
I'm good. A lot of games for the Playstation are multiplatform from the jump or eventually find their way to Steam, Epic, GOG or whatever.
I've transferred on-chain to WoS, and, from there, to another lightning wallet. So, yes, I guess it does work as a swap?
Heck yeah. Would be a waste of 1,000+ years if I didn't. Lol. I'm kidding. I'm sure I'd get up to or experience other things that would've made life interesting during my lifetime.
