@KeyvanMartin@ArthurMacwaters I think authoritarian dictators have killed more than 147 million people but that's got nothing to do with communism working or not working. It has to do with who is in control of it. I didn't say anything about communism though.
population has grown ~9x in 200yrs, while poverty trends to 0
people act as though capitalism is a zero sum game, but it’s actually the only system that creates positive sum outcomes
the average person today is far richer than most kings in days past
@jackmallers@Strike Seems like you could lower the interest rate a little bit. I have a HELOC that I use just like your line of credit and it’s right at 6%.
The @Strike BLOC is simple:
✅ Unlock cash without selling your BTC
✅ Do not trigger a taxable event
✅ Open in seconds. No credit checks
✅ Transparent pricing: 13% APR
✅ Interest accrues only on what you use
✅ Pay bills, withdraw cash, pay friends, or buy bitcoin
✅ Manage your BLOC with your paycheck, cash, or BTC
Today, it is only available to users in Massachusetts and Georgia. We made a strategic decision to limit the rollout for more testing first.
We will expand to the entire US market (including NY) shortly, and then globally.

What's the best way to live on bitcoin? What if you never had to sell?
Save in bitcoin. Spend in fiat. Avoid selling. Save better money. Stack more sats. Gresham's Law. Speculative attack.

Doublecheck your taxes with @grok. A friend had Grok doublecheck TurboTax and it increased her tax refund by $1400. That covers nearly four years of Grok Premium!

@nORthwestBEAV But both of those commentators were pretty dang cool. That was one of the most interesting games. I’ve watched and listened to. They made really amazing comments about both teams.
People marched in the street in London in Spain in South Korea in Poland and in places all around the world to honor Charlie Kirk and to affirm what he stood for. His worldview was completely formed by his faith in Christ. He publicly proclaimed the message of the Gospel and fought tirelessly for free speech. Every pastor should have made bold statements with the same ends in mind.
If your church honored George Floyd, but said nothing today about Charlie Kirk, you MUST leave that church.
-George Floyd was a criminal, drug-addict.
-Charlie Kirk was a Christian evangelist.
Cowardly and compromised pastors have paved the way for the wickedness in our nation.
But these pastors have not repented, and will not repent, because YOU have chosen to prop them up.
For the past 5 years…
-YOU have remained.
-YOU have attended their services.
-YOU have funded their salaries.
Our nation is wicked because AMERICA’S pastors are cowardly.
And AMERICA’S pastors are cowardly because YOU have told them that their cowardice is permissible.
Today MUST be the day of REPENTANCE for YOU, Christian.
@Abizzle2121@amkangas@BeaverBaseball Talking about earlier in the game when we were down by 1.
Not conducive to a decent discussion by calling somebody a jackass.
Well I'm not wearing a black tank top but I wear a black T-shirt almost everyday. So the other day you expressed skepticism regarding the resurrection of Jesus christ. I was thinking a little bit about this and I thought that you should take time to read the book of Galatians in the message version of the Bible.
Well that picture is looking out the front window of my house. I have been to lots of different places in the spring in Oregon because I've lived here for 70 years. The mild climate and the rain showers on the west side of the Cascade mountains make everything very beautiful this time of year.
