J'ai écouté les vidéos d'Heu?reka pendant des années, fouillées, argumentées, bien structurées. J'avais même dans l'idée de l'inviter au Sommet de l'Investisseur c'est vous dire ! Sa vidéo critique sur l'éducation financière, le DCA, l'investissement au sens large m'a donné la nausée. On voit ici les dérives du socialisme, et cela m'inquiète énormément sur l'avenir de notre pays. Certains nient toute responsabilité individuelle et préfèrent une dépendance totale à l’État français. Un organisme tentaculaire, qui tourne à perte, surendetté, voué à sa perte. Heu?reka, ici obsédé par la lutte des classes (faut évoluer les gars, on est plus à l'époque de Marx - poke @brivael ), rejette toute possibilité d'ascension social individuelle. Il dénonce le capitalisme, dont lui et ses lecteurs profitent au quotidien... Tant de potentiel gâché, c'est dommage. J’ai conscience que le capitalisme est un système imparfait : exploitation des ressources, dérèglement climatique, inégalités etc. Mais c’est, sauf preuve du contraire, le système qui a permis le plus grand enrichissement collectif de la population mondiale. C’est un fait documenté. Et non, je ne suis pas pour l’abolition des impôts avec un système ultra-libéral. Je suis même plutôt fier de payer des impôts, tant qu’ils sont bien redistribués dans la société. Typiquement, je suis très heureux que tout le monde aille à l’école, peu importe la classe sociale, ou qu’un enfant atteint de leucémie puisse se faire soigner grâce à mes impôts. Entre ultra-libéral, et ultra-socialiste quasi marxiste, il existe un monde. Cette vidéo polarise l’opinion et va probablement faire stagner sur place toute une partie de la population. Je pense que nous avons besoin de l’opposé dans ce monde.











L’idée c’est: Seul le travail crée la richesse, le capital ne fait que multiplier la productivité du travail. Quelque soit la machine, ya toujours un travailleur pour l’actionner. Le milliardaire n’a donc aucune légitimité à s’accaparer les fruits d’1 travail qu’il n’a ps réalisé




Today in 2008, Tesla began the regular production on its first car, the Tesla Roadster. Also, a reminder that there's one Tesla Roadster in an elliptical heliocentric orbit crossing the orbit of Mars.









A lot of people sent me the cited X as proof that Bitcoin is doomed. But there is a major twist to it, and I'm going to explain it. First, let’s accept the hypothesis from @drakefjustin : ➡️ 1 BTC = $10M, market cap = $200T ➡️ Cost of a 51% attack = $20B At first glance, spending $20B to destroy a $200T network might seem like a credible threat. It’s however not that simple. For the sake of argument, let’s assume the attacker is a nation-state with vast fiat reserves, waging an ideological battle and unconcerned about losses or profits. How would they proceed? Most likely through a combination of building an enormous mining operation and bribing existing miners to join them. Those bribes would have to be massive, likely several years’ worth of profits paid upfront, to convince miners to destroy their own business (the explicit goal being obliterating Bitcoin). The attacker would also need to buy out any Bitcoin denominated treasuries from those miners to offset their future losses. If miners instead dumped their holdings on the open market before the attack, it would act as a canary in the coal mine. Let’s assume all preparations are complete and the attack begins: transactions are censored, double spends are attempted, and confidence in Bitcoin is targeted. What do you think happens next? Remember, we’re talking about a $200T economy. Giants like MSTR, BlackRock, and others would have trillions in market cap. Hundreds of thousands of users would rely on their Bitcoin transactions being confirmed to operate. 1️⃣ Users would immediately raise transaction fees to compete for confirmations. The surge in rewards would bring dormant miners back online and could even persuade compromised miners to defect (no reason to think no-one would commit treason). Nodes would coordinate to reject "bad" blocks. 2️⃣ Corporations like MSTR would inject enormous sums to regain control of the hashrate, potentially tapping into reserves set aside precisely for that (these company would have fiduciary obligation to mitigate all risks, including this one, to reassure their shareholders). 3️⃣ The USA, by then dependent on Bitcoin as a strategic reserve and on the success of its massive Bitcoin companies, would not stand by while its economy is burned to the ground. Do you think they wouldn't bomb the mines from the rogue state ? Yes, the Bitcoin price would crash and financial operations would be disrupted. A coordinated response would take time. But no $200T economy would simply shrug and let itself die without a fight. The tragedy of the commons doesn’t apply here : every stakeholder would have a strong, direct, rational and urgent incentive to act. Conclusion: the risk of a hashrate attack is real. It always has been, and always will be. But even if the relative cost to the market cap seems "cheap", executing it would be far from easy. And it would unleash a massive counterattack. Therefore it's not a ticking time bomb. At all.
