@grok @BlondeOfWar You reckon there is more going on than just concern for the child's safety, given the races and the car involved?

@vanpav1964 @BlondeOfWar Yes, it's a Rolls-Royce. The RR emblem is clearly visible on the chrome window trim in the video.

Karen stopped at this man's car to tell him that his child needed to be in her car seat, even though they were parked and the vehicle was not moving. A total stranger peeked in the window and proceeded to butt into his business. If you've had a toddler in the car, you know that keeping them entertained is a challenge so allowing her to roam while parked is probably what I would have done. What would have said to Karen if this had been your car and child?

@SawyerMerritt @elonmusk It will probably be illegal for humans to drive on their own on motorways, as it is now illegal to ride a horse on them.

Elon Musk in new interview: "10 years from now, probably 90% of all distance driven will be driven by the AI in a self-driving car. It will be quite a niche thing in 10 years to actually be driving your own car." AI already drives for 90%+ of the miles I travel.

@jacksetra1 @elonmusk Investing so much in the build and spending no money to document it is, at best, sloppy.

@vanpav1964 @elonmusk The video is AI-generated, but that doesn’t change the facts — everything said here is true. The train station was indeed built within a period of 38 months.

@BowesChay He probably knows too much. He would be safer in prison.

Andrei Yermak left the detention center. His friends paid 140 million hryvnias ($3.1 million) to bail him out. Just days ago, Yermak's lawyer claimed Ukrainian banks refused to process any payments for the bail.

@cryptosymbiiote Some of us disagree

In case you are super bullish for $BTC remember that we just broke 14+ years support and think again

@LZBataan @Alex_Oloyede2 @grok Was Stalin a Slav?

It is even less talked about how the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of 1939 allowed WWII to happen at all. Stalin took his cut of eastern Europe. Killed and enslaved their populations, and merrily provided the Germans with all the resources such as oil, food, and metals they needed to crush France and bring Britain to the point of despair. Did he give those people their land back afterwards? Har-har-har. Of course not. The Russians enslaved EVEN MORE of the people of Europe in 1945 than they did in 1939-40.

🇷🇺 Rzhev memorial, Tver region, Russia. More Slavs died protecting Europe than the rest of the Allies combined. 9mil soldiers and 18mil civilians but it's less talked about.

@OldCraig The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

It’s very clear why Satoshi would intentionally make himself appear to be not who he is if you understand game theory. He even called his shot a decade ago.

@CryptoTice_ What next? Tax on profit from the lottery jackpot prize at the point of buying a ticket?

BREAKING: The Netherlands just told its citizens to go to hell. 61,000 signatures. Parliament reviewed it. And kept it anyway. You don't have to sell anything. You don't have to make a single euro. You just have to own assets while they go up. And the government will send you a bill. Every. Single. Year. No cash? Doesn't matter. Pay up. Asset crashed after you paid? Too bad. This is not a tax system. This is state-sanctioned theft with a bureaucratic stamp on it. Every other country is trying to attract crypto wealth. - Luxembourg buying Bitcoin. - The U.S. protecting crypto legislation. - UAE building crypto banks. And the Netherlands? Taxing you for having the audacity to invest. The most financially repressive tax in modern Dutch history. And they chose it deliberately. Because your money is more useful to them than it is to you.

I am so sure that the Saylor saga will get retarded that I am already going to point out that I was the first bitcoin pundit that went all-in against him as bad for Bitcoin and say "i told you so" Bookmark this.

@Diditaihuttu Saylor is a stress test for ₿. He has to fail for ₿ to succeed. Not many understand that.

Saylor preached #Bitcoin conviction for 4 years. Now he's selling to fund dividends. Corporate treasuries answer to shareholders. Family treasuries answer to nobody. That's the difference. 👊🏼

@PeterSweden7 What's the official name? The EU Echo Chamber?

They are launching. The new European W social is launching in a few days and will require a government issued ID and biometric scanning to be allowed to make an account. The new social media platform was announced at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Will you be signing up? I won't.

@hosseeb @grok run by us to the recent freezing of $344 million in USDT, and how cyberpunkish was that?

Stablecoins are actually super cypherpunk. CT has broken your brain on this. The idea that anyone at any time, with just a mobile phone, can hold and send dollars instaneously to anyone in the world, no KYC, no nothing--that was literally the cypherpunk dream.

@ShepherdWales If you have a flag in your bio, I guess it's about you.

I am just catching up after a very busy couple of days. I don’t get what Banksy’s art is trying to say. Am I alone? Can someone explain it to me please?

@TheRealJamieKay If you have a flag in your bio, you are the statue.

Thoughts on Banksy’s statue?

@icardo8 Wait until the AI takes over.

Los hijos de puta estos que manejan los drones militares son los primeros que deben morir. Sentados en un bunker subterráneo a cientos de kilómetros mata a un soldado que está rendido. Son los nuevos cagones del mundo. La peor escoria. Peor que los políticos que deciden las guerras.

@TheDesertLynx Bitcoin is just the best money, not a religion.

@vanpav1964 Well it does, any community probably should have a conference. It's a good idea to get together.

The craziest thing about Michael Saylor headlining Bitcoin conferences is that his company doesn't even deal in Bitcoin. He takes your money, gives you some weird promises of fiat, then totally swears he's going to buy some Bitcoin for himself with it. That's like the top burger restaurant taking your money, giving you a paper receipt, and then promising that the chef's going to eat a burger.

@federico_rivi Bitcoin treasury companies, as a profit-generating mechanism, are stress tests for Bitcoin. There will be no hyperbitcoinization without their demise first.

Bitcoin treasury companies are quite literally a Ponzi scheme. The only mechanism by which these companies "create value" for existing shareholders is issuing new equity at a premium over NAV and using the proceeds to buy more bitcoin. The "yield" Saylor and his colleagues advertise isn't yield in any meaningful sense: it's the premium new shareholders pay over NAV, redistributed across existing holders as "BTC per share" growth. Returns to existing holders come directly from capital contributed by new entrants. Calling this "arbitrage between the fiat present and the hyperbitcoinized future" is a convenient framing for the CEO of a treasury company. What's being sold as arbitrage is no more than a leveraged bet. The model only works while the premium exists. The premium only exists while believers keep buying. Own the asset, not the wrapper.

@VladTheInflator To be fair, why would they…?

Why doesn't any place in Africa look like this
