I closed my eyes at the start of the meditation. The sound of waves broke like static across Alexa. "Is that static or is that the ocean" was my thought. Seagulls sounds and then "Hi this is Bob Proctor from Mind Valley institute..."
The is the part always makes me a little nervy. "...from my friend Vishnu at Mind valley institute". "Who's Vishnu and why's he hiding at that institute" was my last thought before I slipped onto the beach.
This time I could see a fishing boat off the beach with nets. Oh, and there's Jesus walking out there across the water to the boat.
Next I'm in the boat pulling on icky fishing nets. "Ugh, so this is real work", longing to hide behind a keyboard. I'm giving the side-eye to these other fishermen.
Am I smarter than they? Is that why they are pulling on nets and I'm normally behind a laptop.
Jesus is telling us to, throw the net on the other side.
I drifted deeper into relaxation. "Ok I know this story but what exactly does it mean"...
I Blanked out the rest of the 20 minutes. I think this hyponosis meditation stuff may just be a little too much for me.

Move SCs...giving me a lot to look thru and learn about. Thank you.
Just a basic question is, my understanding was that Bitcoin was designed to be non turing complete in order to limit the error possibilities. So this Move SC is quite potentially going to seriously mess up at some point. At which point the parties involved will just have to settle legally (refund accidental transmission of funds etc). So it's kinda back to just having a bank running a procedure with plenty of legal guarantees and insurance etc.
.... Maybe these are obvious questions. I'm going to have to read more about this

Google mentioned Episcopal. I attended the Episcopal church a couple times in the past year and liked it a lot. It's more structured and no crazy music and informal stuff. The priest had some interesting readings that landed in my soul.
Then the congregant made some comment about organizing political stuff in the run up to November elections. She had a beautiful voice but I really didn't want to hear even vaguely about politics in church.
I just met the Mormon missionaries in the town where I am. Some smart blond kids from Idaho asking if they can come around and talk about Jesus and the book of Mormon.
All the different churches are like Bitcoin mining/nodes. It keeps the whole network honest even when some fork off. Church of Christ sounds like a good concept.
I'm not too familiar with JW other than it seems super Ponzi and hard to escape from once within.
As many dark street corners as they stand on, I kinda wonder if it was a secret tactic of businessmen to have free street policing.

So I think it's prob just better to take the simple exchange for satoshis instead of seeing if she wants to sell me future nights at -50% off.
which i think is a good deal for her since she's never sold out, and I'm betting that Bitcoin will rally quite a bit more than 50%.
I just like to make things complicated. she has rooms to sell but debts to pay now.

I agree about the casino stuff and the tokens taking rent in our heads and not having any value.
But then I started thinking about lots in life. And people being afraid to try to gamble with their skills/potential.
It's all sort of a gamble right? Perhaps guided by wisdom.
And then businesses themselves are a gamble. And investing is a gamble.
How about "Gambling with a vision" is something I could get on board with.

People seem to like tokens. I was into airline miles for a long time. when I was 10 I cut out the American Airlines 100 mile voucher off the Cheerios box (so fiat) and sent it in for a chance to win a trip to San Francisco.
The rest of the Cheerios box had cartoons of cable cars going up narrow streets and the Golden Gate bridge in the background. I was sure I as going to win.
I still have the AA account.
Thankfully satoshis fullfills my airline miles itch. I have zero interest in hotel points.
I think it's just the promise of travel attached to airline miles that makes them psychologically worth more to me. I also like the Amtrak miles.
I'm not sure how any of this is related to Bitcoin, unless they are basically saying it's ok to build protocols that interchange these loyalty tokens between people. Maybe like Nostr Relays, these things could trade points collateralized by satoshis in the background.
Don't know how much economic benefit that is tho.

Confused about what "digital utility" refers to. I assume "capital creation and innovation" is a funding mechanism for startups... ,a lot of startups seem like they work the same way as pump-and-dump scheme when they go bust. They're basically saying, this is now legal to fund via a crypto issuance.

I just had an Ahah moment about golf. I used to think golf was just a way for well-heeled business folks to get out of skyscrapers and outdoors, and then I see this comment by someone whom I think is highly intelligent.
So my Ahah moment is that golf is a sport for highly intelligent people. perhaps the universe speaks to them as they plot the course of a small object thru the 3d landscape with physics of a swinging iron.

For marriages sounds good. I'm wondering how to tell a new acquaintance that I'm not too keen on going to the full Moon intention setting evening. "I'll do yoga and we can be friends but I'm scarrred of hippie spirituality" stuff. I think I have to say it sooner than later.
Or maybe doing yoga on the full moon and telling the universe what I want is all harmless? After all I'm absorbed in getting what I want every minute of the day anyway so what's the difference.
"Dear moon 🌙, thanks for being up there in the sky... Hey I really need to slack off the caffeine and be more grateful for things. I'll have it all done by the next time you come around again. "

"Who will be left holding the bag? Surely anyone gullible enough to put their savings into one of these initiatives."
Absolutely, as it should be. anyone with half a brain should be smart enough to not give money to strangers promising to double their money.
"Worst case, all of us if the stock market crashes and pulls the economy down with it."
If the stock market crashes, I'm sure it's the fault of some crypto speculation and not of 50 years of housing speculation,stock market speculation and forever wars.

Yeah that grossed me out! Especially since Nostr and lightning already fixed all that.
The Alby lightning node is very convenient like a bank account. The Alby Go is like my credit card and it's linked into Nostr as well.

Cats can't go by plane? I think I saw one , but he was drugged to sleep or something.
The diesel fuel is very efficient. I took a cruise that went prob 1500 miles and powered all the lights and elevators onboard for a whole week.
There's probably space for extra fuel to get you across the ocean. I've even read that people take old sailboats and don't even use the sails. Since they are made for sailing, the hull shape is quite efficient. It prob just won't be super fast.

So using the spoon to extract the grounds prevents the grounds from absorbing too much into the water?
I changed to pour overs to filter some oil or something that wasnt good.
Will try this method. Thank you

To soften the grinchiness, if the information could be taught in school so people could make a choice between the two.
Prob most people are just picking USD because it's all they know(not betting against bitcoiners)...
So I see why they are trying to teach this in school. The faster they can teach it, the more likely some people will choose Bitcoin and that benefits the person,family,country.

I had to look myself. They didn't loose any fees i guess because the Expected block fees are the same as actual block fees. Do I understand correctly that they can rearrange the fees since they won the whole block?
So they had a pattern with Fee proportion gradients ready, and they used the pattern of proportions just divided the fee subsidy by the gradients?

Are there any models that have worked other than advertising? Or subscriptions?
I'm not quite sure how Craigslist supports itself despite being among the top 10 web pages.
Wikipedia asks for money.
What if we looked at the market for social media and then proportion it out according to the type of user and number.
So maybe there will be a Facebook-type clien, Google type, Craigslist type, and new ones like Tik tok that pop up for kids.
For me I use Facebook as a repository of contacts from college plus access to family pictures. I would have deleted FB if it wasnt for browsing Marketplace.
I use LinkedIn as little as possible and mainly just as a professional version of Facebook.
Twitter is my news app.
And Nostr is my vision board space.
So maybe Primal can capture Facebook/Insta/ Twitter all in one.
If Nostr is a protocol like the Internet, maybe it turns into web browsing difference.
Firefox, Chrome,Safari, Microsoft Edge.
However I think there may be more differentiation for Nostr since it's a social layer..it will probably mimic the amount of social apps. News, dating, professional, family, friends, banking.
I don't know if I like the idea of my banking app knowing what Im doing in dating world... So maybe there will be certain profiles that are just for certain clients. 🤔
I'm more confused about how it might look now than when I started writing this.

So even if they don't hold any Bitcoin, it doesn't hurt actual bitcoiners when MSTR becomes the next Enron. It just blows up MSTR shareholders not Bitcoin holders.
So i don't know why bitcoiners are worried about Microstrategy hurting Bitcoin.

Yes, it would be good to hear a detailed thesis how such a thing could happen.
If MSTR is a sponge for Bitcoin, what squishes the sponge to release the Bitcoin and break the bull market?
1. Someone loses MSTR keys--> good for Bitcoin
2. Government nationalizes MSTR --> neither bad or good for bitcoin (bad briefly if they force sale but if they find it valuable enough to raid, why would they then sell Bitcoin?)
3. What am I missing?

Hehehe.
Some high IQ classmate of mine once said basically the same thing about TED talks. I now use that excuse to not watch TED talks. I'm probably low enough on the IQ curve where TED talks are actually good for me.
But I can't tell if they are just making me feel better about myself.
Comics are really where it's at apparently. Either the Greeks or the Romans didn't allow actors to be involved in politics, but they never said anything about comics.

"Masterclass--the idea...you can sit on your ass on the couch and learn anything is hilarious to me."
Hehehe I don't find tim Dillons style funny, but this is funny.
Partly because I'm watching Tim Dillon and trying to learn how to be funnier sitting on my couch.
Also because someone's work benefits paid for MasterClass so I sat thru the Hillary Clinton and a couple others...

The idea is, the fed may not print money until it something big breaks. And in fact it is still removing "liquidity".
So if I understand correctly, a liquidity event is when people panic sell investments into dollars to get "liquidity".
This could happen briefly before money printing starts and asset prices make the Nike swoosh.
if history is a guide for the future, I need to prepare myself for a 50% drawdown around this "liquidity event" along the way to 1M Bitcoin.

2025-01-07 03:15:11

This tumble that Bitcoin took in March 2020 seems to have left a lasting impression on Parker Lewis as evidenced by his TFTC interview and this page in his book. Something along the lines of "a liquidity event/shortage".
Hmmm...

never heard of this angle. are you saying there was no people in that thing, or there were people who didn't make it back?
i was just thinking about how hard the SpaceX reusable landings were to get perfect.
then I realized that we supposedly did one of these reusable landings on the moon, took off again without any maintenance up there, and then intersected again with the orbital module before flying back to earth. all of that happened with technology from 1960s...
the intersection thing with the orbital module really blows my mind. maybe it's easier than i realize, but it seems like an impossibility. it would be hard to do with airplanes, let alone with somehting that's just using it's velocity alone to regulate gravitational pull and thus distance to the moon's surface.
not to mention the fact that they would have to perfectly intersect the orbital modules orbit, otherwise they would have virtually no chance of ever intersecting it again.

bizarre! i think i remember hearing some whispers about that back in the day when Bitcoin was more political. maybe they had some sophisticated algorithms that detected stuff they didn't like, overlapped it with a lot of bitcoiners, and then proactively banned people who fell into some of the overlapping circles.
twitter freaks me out a little as I have posted nothing. or maybe like a post or 2 and said something nice to someone 1 time. yet i have 60 people "friends". i want to cancel but Grok is too handy for so many things.

some people worry about what happens if the MSTR pumps break and the flow runs in reverse...

the challenge of getting from just the travel, hobbies, friendships to the parent sounds like such a worthwhile adventure. i don't know where the energy would come from to take care of a kid, but it seems selfish not to try.
it's not a weird "i want my genetics out there" type of thing. it's more like, i enjoyed the world enough, and now it's time to put my hand to the oar of rowing the next generation to the brim of adventure.
"adoption" is always a suggestion. but i've heard raising a kid is hard and raising someone else's kid is even harder. It's almost like doing society a favor to just raise one's own kid because it aligns the instincts with the task.

i also have tee-totaler parents and grandparents. I'm starting to think I need to follow the tradition.
i had half a glass of wine last night and felt like my epiglottis was going to melt for several hours afterwards. Not sure what alcohol +food does to my stomach nowadays, but i just can't drink it at all with acid reflux at night. i'm in my mid-30s.
i'll make an exception for a hypothetical trip to south france and visiting a cheese cave. or maybe someone's homemade beer.
My grandpa became a tee-totaler/non-smoker early 30s after serving in Navy. I remember when he would visit, we would have to eat dinner by 5pm so he could sleep without feeling heart-burn. He also had debilitating rheumatoid arthritis. His motto in the morning was , "same old oats, same old hay, same old breakfast everyday." Now i wonder if his oatmeal gave him the rheumatoid athritis. Or maybe it was something stressful in the South Pacific that triggered it.
