On a long enough timeline, all doubters capitulate.

@melissa @threadreaderapp unroll

we didn't want a smart tv, but there's no more dumb ones out of the box, it was so slow we joked it had north korean spyware joke's on us, it did a man in the middle attack compromised every device except, strangely, mine all because i'd bullied google into deleting youtube

@JaredDHardin @LynAldenContact “Demand on a finite supply” is a pretty decent definition of value; if its not, its a distinction without a difference.

@LynAldenContact No. It's evidence of demand on a finite supply. The two reasons you listed are great, but it's the volatility that disqualifies BTC from ever being a currency. If it were not so volatile, I'd be all in.

BTC bros are some of the most optimistic, dumbest people on the planet. "It's gone up a lot" is their only argument as to why it's worthwhile.

@Kellen88933254 @elonmusk The problem, social security is the biggest scam of all. If you aren't going to seriously gut it, you aren't taking efficiency seriously. It's the biggest scam. It's the most obviously unsustainable program the US government has, & it's a wealth transfer from the poor to the rich

@elonmusk @elonmusk i agree with stopping the wasted spending on multiple things DOGE is finding. But to then attack the american people for what we pay for (social security, medicaid/medicare) is not cool. “Wasted” money is spending on people in other countries, NOT OUR OWN

@WatcherGuru Link to tweet or it didn't happen. I didn't see it on his timeline.

JUST IN: Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong calls to put all government spending on blockchain.

New @OpenAI o3-mini-high-final-v2-last-final2-lastfinal-saved-signed-updated-updatedfinal-draft-roughdraft-second-draft.doc model is fucking sick.

.@iah What the fuck is this? Lol. Who thought this poster was a good idea? It's so oddly iguana-coded, you are practically begging Alex Jones to cover this all week.

@Proteusique @weirddalleslop @nocontextmemes There are no R or L sounds in Korean (maybe also japanese). It's really more of a sound between R and L, which is why they tend to mix up those sounds a lot when speaking English.

@Proteusique @weirddalleslop @nocontextmemes You would think, but most non-native English speaking Japanese and Koreans are not actually saying "green" even though it sounds that way to us. They are usually saying something closer to "geu-leen". When it is said quickly, we can't hear the difference and neither can comps.

@pahueg @Nneuman @verysmallclaims exposed all this months ago doing exactly the same thing. These are kids. They like to brag.

@Nneuman Is this real? Doesn‘t feel like it by the way this guys talks. Also, why would he let the entire script out of the bag???

Recently I was called by someone pretending to be Coinbase support, trying to steal bitcoin. I decided to turn the tables on him and ask him about being a scammer. Things got wild - he completely changed his personality & told me everything. Presenting: To Catch a Scammer 🕵️‍♂️

@BryanAulds @verysmallclaims @peterktodd @Dr_CSWright And that is exactly what @peterktodd wanted us all to think - he had been planning to frame @Dr_CSWright as Satoshi using this theory since 2001, at the latest!

@Colin_Aulds @verysmallclaims @peterktodd Which is exactly why @Dr_CSWright went through all the legal trouble he did. You see, by having a judge declare that he was not Satoshi and a complete fraud, he has successfully disguised himself forever!

Let me give you the single biggest reason that @peterktodd is not Satoshi. I know him, I like him, and he's more incapable of keeping a secret than any woman I know.

@KerrisdaleCap You know that “devs” cannot just “pop up all over the world” and start mining profitably. Development has nothing to do with mining. Energy costs do. I can see why your portfolio does so poorly.

$RIOT is in a global race to mine bitcoin as cheaply and efficiently as possible & every week, new devs pop up all over the world operating at a lower cost, driving network hashrate inexorably higher. $RIOT will always remain too high-cost to mine bitcoin profitably (5/10)

Today, we launch a war against bitcoin miners, an industry of snake oil salesmen that are incinerating both investor capital and the environment and should be banished from America much like the Chinese RTO frauds that we helped kick out a decade ago (1/10)

@RWApodcast Now you cuck for China and Iran. Nice!

I'm aware that this person is just doing primitive war propaganda and not trying to construct an actual argument, but in reality what Putin said translates to "There are a million valid reasons for us not to accept the existence of a Ukrainian state but we did so anyway because we're cucks and libtards and wanted to please the West, until basic survival instinct forced us to act"

@BitcoinDavid21 @mikeinspace “We” arent. Miners are prioritizing those who are willing to spend the most money. It’s a free market. Transactors need to pay higher fees. You don’t have to like it, but you di have to accept it.

@mikeinspace Glad we are prioritizing ordinals over a peer-to-peer electronic cash system

Maxis advocating to #fixthefilters are missing a very important piece of the puzzle. Let me explain. They look back at history and see that the OP_RETURN limit, enforced by node policy, was successful for many years, so they think filters must *work* because they've worked in the past. But that was pre-Ordinals when there was very little monetary incentive to bypass general node policy. So the filters generally did *work*. We now live in a post-Ordinals world, where the fees miners can make far exceed typical monetary txn fees, so expecting miners to leave millions of dollars on the table is silly. Mining pools will spin-up APIs that allow users to submit txns directly to them, thus bypassing node policy. The public "mempool" will just go dark at that point with no real way to assess fees at any given moment. We're already seeing it happen. Go ahead #fixthefilters it ain't gonna do shit.

@_cingraham Hilarious ad in this very thread. They should add a square for "How LA Times does not make money".

I guess, in the end, it ended up being about the business analysis after all

Reports say LA Times is losing $40 million a year. Its owner, Patrick Soon-Shiong, has an estimated net worth of about $5 billion. Even if he never makes another penny he could cover those losses every year for a century and still have more than $1 billion left over in the bank.

@ecb @Isabel_Schnabel A one monolithic institution now begging randos on the internet to buy their stupid boomer coin instead of Bitcoin.

🇪🇺@Isabel_Schnabel: The digital euro is public money issued directly by the European Central Bank. Bitcoin is different – it is a speculative asset that does not fulfil the characteristics of money. #AskECB

@ecb @Isabel_Schnabel Bullshit. It is perfect surveillance money.

🇪🇺@Isabel_Schnabel: Not at all. A digital euro would offer an additional payment option for everyone in the euro area, backed by the ECB and usable all over the euro area. Just like cash, it would be simple to use and meet the highest privacy standards. #AskECB

Gary Gensler: 'While we approved the listing and trading of certain spot BitcoinETF shares today, we did not approve or endorse Bitcoin.” Bitcoin doesn’t need and didn’t ask for your approval, Gary. Honey badger DOES NOT CARE!

@SECGov This aged poorly today

Careful what you read on the internet. The best source of information about the SEC is the SEC.

@FarooqTirmizi @LukeBarnett How does a house this big have a measly 4 bedrooms?

@LukeBarnett Sold in January 1989 (the year before the movie came out), for $875K. redf.in/sdLPxY

The worst part about re-watching Home Alone is you just know Kevin’s parents bought this house for like $250K.
