"Where are the servers of Bitcoin located?” - Prof Jiang
That single question from Jiang shows the misunderstanding immediately.
Bitcoin does not run on one company’s servers,
Bitcoin runs on a distributed network of nodes spread across the world, which is exactly why it is hard to censor, shut down, or control, plus the mining system on top of it to protect it with energy.
When someone frames Bitcoin like a centralized system, they are not critiquing Bitcoin as it is.
They are critiquing a version of Bitcoin that exists only in their own confusion.

Satoshi's original Bitcoin code had a built in poker game hidden inside it
The first version of Bitcoin released in January 2009 contained a class called CPokerLobbyDialogBase
It had framework code for an on chain poker game, an IRC chat client and a peer to peer marketplace all built into the mining software
The poker code was added on April 16, 2008, months before the whitepaper was even published
It stayed in the codebase for years and wasn't fully removed until Bitcoin version 0.8.2
Nobody knows why Satoshi built a poker game into a digital currency
The code is still visible today on GitHub in the original Bitcoin v0.1 source code, lines 1573 to 1731

Bitcoin is getting close to $75K again. That's not much below @Saylor's cost basis for $MSTR. The U.S. dollar seems to be rolling over, and gold and silver may be about to start new legs up. If you have any Bitcoin, sell it now and buy gold and silver. schiffgold.com

New details on the "Harry Dresden" break-in. Jason Nichols broke into a Fairfield home through a sliding glass door while a woman and child were inside. The husband saw it on camera, rushed home, grabbed a shovel, and confronted him. Both suffered head injuries. Police praised the homeowner.
This is why you don't wait for help to arrive

Plastic bans for Canada… plastic cups for Coachella.

@xxChessMaster i always find these brute force things overly complicated. its obvious a large majority of the moves won't be played. so the actual probability is much less

When you start a chess game, you have 20 moves available (16 for pawn and 2 for one knight). After completing the first movement you have more than 40 different possibilities. And 8900 in the third and 197740 in the fourth. In the 40s there will be 10 puissance 40 possibilities. Number corresponds to the number of atoms in the universe. This is what make chess more magical.

The Gates Foundation just developed microneedle implants that install PERMANENT quantum dot markings and mRNA into your body.
Once implanted, they are read by AI systems to verify compliance.
They function as biological vaccine passports, required to enter stores and travel.
Nicolas Hulscher, MPH@NicHulscher
Albert Bourla, Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, Peter Hotez, Peter Marks, Ashish Jha, and Tedros Ghebreyesus ALL declare — with absolute certainty — that another pandemic is imminent. The same architects of the last plandemic are priming the world for the next one — the inevitable consequence of a world that never held them accountable.

Sam Harris says podcast conversations are “GENUINELY DANGEROUS.”
He blames Joe Rogan and Theo Von for “cultural damage,” saying they platform “lunatics” like Dr. Robert Malone and conspiratorial thinking.
“There’s no question [these podcasts] are getting people killed and will continue to get people killed.”
“It is at the top of the list of what ails us in our society.”
“It is the thing that is preventing us from solving real problems in this world.”

“Einstein is the problem.”
Eric Weinstein didn’t mince words on Triggernometry.
If general relativity holds, we’re trapped on one fragile planet. Even terraforming the Moon and Mars only gives us three reachable spheres — nowhere near enough diversification for long-term survival.
A single catastrophe could wipe us all out because we all share the same atmosphere.
The only real escape, he argues, is cracking physics beyond Einstein so we can get very far, very fast. Otherwise we’re stuck playing cosmic Russian roulette.
It’s a sobering wake-up call about how dangerously misaligned our priorities have become.

Self hatred is just narcissism wearing a cheap disguise. You think your failures are uniquely catastrophic, your awkwardness is unprecedented, your face is the most embarrassing anyone has ever seen. That is not humility. Humility means thinking about yourself less, not thinking worse of yourself. What you are doing is inverted grandiosity.
It could be said the same about self pity too. It is just narcissism disguised as depth. It feels deep but it is mostly entitlement in a sad mask. You tell yourself you expect nothing, that you are worthless, yet the theatrical despair betrays a quiet demand. You want someone to disagree. You want the universe to finally acknowledge your hidden value.
It is not that your pain is fake. It is that ordinary discomfort feels unbearable when you have no other way to feel special. The daily frictions of life a rude email, a canceled plan, a mild embarrassment are not enough. So you upgrade them to tragedies. You need a storyline with real weight because a storyline with no weight would reveal the terrifying possibility that you are just another person having a normal Tuesday.
That is the deeper narcissism. You would rather be a tragic hero than a nobody. You would rather be broken in a unique and beautiful way than admit that your problems are mostly the same boring problems everyone has. Self hatred becomes the costume you wear to avoid the plain face of ordinary life. And the joke is that ordinary life, with all its small annoyances and small joys, is where actual peace lives. But you cannot get there as long as you need your suffering to be special. The hard truth is that pain is ordinary and no one is coming to certify your suffering as specially tragic.
The real distinction is between wanting to take responsibility and wanting to be the reason. Taking responsibility fixes what you broke and moves on. Wanting to be the reason clings to guilt like a trophy because being the cause means you still matter. That is the trap. Your self hatred is not a moral position. It is just another way of keeping yourself at the center of every story.
