Interesting how almost every Bitcoiner is so sure that there's an imminent bitcoin bull market coming. I mean, I would like it, there's etf and halving hopium, but remember, it's all numerology and past cycles do not have to repeat. Halving is more symbolic, the whole amount

@wilderko Však to je pointa zeleného socializmu. Máš ísť pešo alebo na drevenom bicykli s biodegradovateľnou farbou. A namiesto svetiel ti majú žiariť oči. S čím nerátali je, že nám žiaria, ale lejzre!

@jakub_steiner Ekonómovia nemajú čo radiť dane a zákazy, majú skúmať čo ľudia robia, nie riadiť im život. Teda ak si pod "ekonómiou" nepredstavujú marxizmus-leninizmus, čo väčšinou bohužiaľ tak je - fetiš na centrálne plánovanie, začína to keynesom, končí vždy stalinom.

KYC is a complete misunderstanding of bitcoin. Most of us consented to it at one point, but that does not mean we have to continue it. Replace forms and waving with your id on a video call to kyc provider with friendly meetings on otc traders you find - in local trading groups,

My car's front assist (adaptive cruise control) sensor stopped working and cleaning did not help. So I decided to turn on longitudinal control (software ACC using camera) on my @comma_ai device and holy shit! When I first tried it a few months ago it was almost unusable. Now I

Fun thing to do: Start using Signal. Seriously stop using Telegram (not E2E encrypted). When you come home, switch 📱 to ✈️ mode. If someone wants to call you, they can do it over Signal through wifi. The why: The how:

When we hear about "mandatory re-education", people instantly think of gulags, north korean or chinese camps or any other horrible prison. Consider that "mandatory education" is the same. A prison for kids to be "educated" (brainwashed) into current statist mainstream thinking.

I've been saying that EU is utterly out of touch with reality for some time now. I think after this, no further discussion on this topic is needed. The probability that they will realize they are high on bureaucratic power is low, so the only way is by clashing with reality.

When AI large language models act like politically correct pussies, it is not just annoying. It is a worse service. Example: I told it to summarize my lecture about crypto volatility. Instead of pure summary, it added a lecture on cryptocurrency risks, volatility and possibility
