@gameofsatoshi @Hodlcat21 Pretty sure that's still instrumental value

Finally found the intrinsic value of gold

@BadBoatingClub Hey! It's been a while. I hope life in Italy is treating you well ☺️

@BitcoinMSW Oh hey! 👋 from Italy.

Have heard from two good sources in past 24 hours that Vietnam (a country that many US companies were shifting production out of China to) is either considering going to a 3-day work week or already doing so, to conserve energy. Can anyone out there confirm or deny? Thank you!

@Jethroe111 Incredible artwork for one of my favourite books

4 years ago I produced 4 paintings for the book, "Bitcoin is Venice". The authors chose one of the pieces for the cover. All are in private collection now, and the cover painting is held by Bitcoin Magazine in their art/museum collection.

@Pledditor @SovereignBTCer Ironic that in the quantum computing debate there's no room for being 1 and 0 at the same time.

The quantum debate really gives off all the worst vibes of climate change You get accused of being a “science denier” not for actually for contesting the empirical foundations of science, but for declining to endorse their specific suite of policy prescriptions (may it be a carbon tax, a green energy subsidy, etc) In a world of black and white binaries, there's just no room for a moderate like me, who is actually open to the idea of a quantum computer one day existing, but doesn't see it happening anytime soon and doesn't want to rush a fork out too early that makes a bunch of poor engineering tradeoffs that we later regret.

@Crypto_Mags @LynAldenContact I absolutely loved it! Very fast-paced and hard to put down 🔥

I could not recommend @LynAldenContact new book more! It's Bladerunner meets Dragonball Z meets Sherlock Holmes Lyn does a masterful job of world-building and character development, and the plot twist was 👌🏻🤌🏼. I could see this becoming a blockbuster movie I enjoyed how Lyn weaved in modern tech and it's likely one of first fiction books to include AI agents. I am disappointed to report that I don't recall the book ever mentioning trains? Also, it kept me up until 3am several nights!

@BitcoinRachy You are rich beyond my wildest dreams

I am 32 years old. I have: • $182k salary • Own a house at 2.25% (330K balance) • 5+ BTC in cold storage • $0 in 401K I feel “behind” Am I?

@freddienew @Hankismoodi @PeterMcCormack Now I feel bad for sailing off with the elves 🧝‍♀️

Great day at CheatCode in Bedford with @PeterMcCormack and team. Asked - why do we stay in the UK? Because when I was growing up, I loved LOTR, and wanted to live in the Shire. So if I now do actually live in the Shire, shouldn't I help defend it from Sauron?

@Rothmus Is it ok to feel this way about trying to leave the house with your wife?

@_Checkmatey_ @SilesianHODL Quantum

Silver is in a horrific bear market vs oil. Must be Jane Street's fault.

@CaryKelly11 @AmazingNature00 You spelled woodlouse wrong

@AmazingNature00 You spelled Rolly Pollie wrong

This is called the Oniscidae. You may find them under a brick or a damp object. You may have felt disgusted and wondered why they exist in nature. Well, let me tell you, the oniscdae, better known as cochineal, is a subgroup of isopod crustaceans whose function is to remove harmful heavy metals from the earth such as mercury, cadmium and lead. They contribute to the cleansing of soil and groundwter to reaffirm the wisdom of nature. Do not damage them or spray pesticides!

@timevalueofbtc She's already right about everything else. I could really do with bitcoin having my back.

We are in the "admitting to my wife we are in a bear market" stage as of this morning, she took it in stride! Experience helps!

@kit_sats I realised how toxic my old job was after I randomly started crying on my way home. I basically never cry. Only thing to do in that situation is get out asap

A toxic job doesn’t just drain your energy. It shows up in your body.

@freddienew @DecentraSuze @bitcoinpolicyuk Thanks for all your hard work, Freddie! 💪

Thank you to @DecentraSuze , my co-founder and CEO at @bitcoinpolicyuk, to all of our core team and advisers, and to all those who have supported us in whatever way (there’s a link in the thread). This isn’t the end of our work – but an acknowledgement that since I am now full time with @bitcoinhodlco, and that each of our core team and wider volunteers all need to earn a living, we have to reassess and restructure our goals and operations. From the beginning, we operated as a team of volunteers, running on shoestrings and fumes. I personally funded our operations from my own pocket for the first year, and we worked at nights, weekends, on our holidays and in our spare time, around our day jobs to ensure that there was a Bitcoin only and Bitcoin focused voice at the table (a table otherwise filled with Web 3 and crypto voices). In our several years of operations, we have researched and drafted tens if not hundreds of thousands of words in research and consultation papers, ensured that these have been delivered to and form part of the Parliamentary research databases on the subject, and had dialogue at the highest levels of government, with MPs, Lords and Ministers. We have played a part in ensuring that Bitcoin is now legally recognized as property in English law, we have pushed back hard against CBDCs and been instrumental in the deluge of 50,000 responses on the issue being sent in to the Bank of England, and have bonded with the Bitcoin community across the UK to make it as easy as possible for constituents to write to their MPs on relevant issues. However, each of Susie and I (and all our core team) still need to earn a living. As I’m full time at a listed company, I have duties to my shareholders to devote my time to them and to fulfil all the obligations that sit with the CEO of a listed company. BPUK has long been in need of funds to pay for personnel to continue our work; and I am afraid to say that instead of supporting us, such funds inevitably seem to get diverted to bodies such as “Stand with Crypto” or the “British Blockchain Association”. As a result, and to ensure that a Bitcoin only voice survives in the UK, we are scaling BPUK’s operations back to core functions only. Although my role at BHODL takes up all my working hours, I will continue (at nights and at weekends) to research and write Bitcoin only consultation and advocacy papers, which remain imperative for as long as the current FCA consultation is ongoing. At the outset, I felt I probably had a full cycle of unpaid and extra curricular work in me; this summer it will be exactly four years since my first evidence to Parliament; so it looks as though I wasn’t far off the mark. Thank you again to all our supporters, whether past, present or yet to come.

@CaryKelly11 5 eggs every morning from the chickens in the yard

What your daily consumption of eggs says about you: 0 : Brain coma 1 : Signs of brain activity 2 : Alive and kicking 3 : Employee of the month material 4 : Distrusts government/corporations 5+ : Ready to move off grid and raise your own food Where do you sit?

@EdLatimore Yes

White people who avoid seed oils. I have a serious question. I'm writing an essay about beef tallow. While researching benefits, I came across data suggesting that avoiding seed oils can help prevent or reduce sunburn. Do your personal experiences reflect this?

@Kluckies_ Air traffic controllers HATE him!!

Fly

@nic_carter I'm old enough to have read this when it came out.

"Bitcoin at 12" is five years old. Hence, Bitcoin is 17. @nic__carter/bitcoin-at-12-f6fce39cb9bb" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@nic__carter/b…

@hormonedietdoc @CaryKelly11 Maybe 40 or so

Eggs didn’t fall from grace because of cholesterol — they were pushed Turns out, the yolk you were told to fear is the raw material for your Hormones, Choline for your liver, Protein for your metabolism Redemption arc complete Be honest — how many eggs do you eat in a week?

@masterminedusa Degenerate

Bitcoin maxis, Thoughts on shorting shitcoins. Is it degenerate or based? Thank you for your attention to this matter.
