i think threads is pretty good and prefer it to twitter. i like nostr and the idea of what it could be but if it doesn’t grow beyond a small but dedicated group of bitcoiners it won’t work 🤷‍♂️

he’s a persuasive guy for sure
but he’s a lawyer, and his evidence supports his cases, which he has litigated and where he had to play down, discredit or otherwise dismiss opposing evidence
lawyers aren’t interested in the truth
interesting guy but i’m taking what he has to say with a huge grain of salt

having a giant body of accumulated knowledge which is open to peer review and critique, which we colloquially refer to as “the science,” which, if we choose to do the work we can verify (and not trust), is a massive development for good
the scientific method is great but a continuously verified chain of falsifiable knowledge (the science) is greater

crazy idea eh

2023-05-06 14:11:15

it used to be a serious hassle to move your money from a low interest account to a higher interest account or fund at another institution
the last time we had nominal interest rates above zero this was the case, circa 2006-07
not the case anymore
banks offering near zero interest and wondering why they are losing depositors aren’t seeing the forest from the trees

FDIC is funded by the banks themselves, not the public, so in the case of depositors, aren’t we looking at something very different than a taxpayer funded bail out of the shareholders and executive management?

the shareholders of some of the largest US corporations are holding the bag on (often floating rate) securities backed by office properties. this is why they want you back in the office. another day another default 🤷‍♂️
