Words like "Moderation" and "Diversification" never made any sense to me.
They're weak options. They usually lead to the same result as doing nothing.
They're only useful if you have no clue what you're doing. Because if you did, you will do that one best thing.
If you study 30 topics, you will master none...
If you invest in everything (to be "safe"), you'll get nowhere, and so forth...
If you know the answer, you know the answer. If not, you diversify.
This applies to #Bitcoin and pretty much everything everyone does! :D
#Diversification

#Bitcoin is not expensive. Your #Money is worthless.

2024-07-14 06:05:23

All #Bitcoin and #Crypto exchanges along with every crypto will one day cease to exist (unless one crypto finds a way to provide value other than being "better money").
If you don't understand this, you don't understand Bitcoin, system vs technology, or the whole #Fiat Matrix.
"The #Matrix" here is not for dramatic effect.

Any #Umbrel users here? I need your help please!
I want to run Umbrel on a dedicated PC. I downloaded the OS .xz file from #Github, extracted it, and now trying to flash it on a USB drive, but I can't find the flashable file (it's often .iso for other OS, and maybe .img in this case). Am I missing something?
I found 2 .img files, but neither of them are flashable. Any idea what I got wrong here?
Thank you!

2024-06-09 13:23:54

Any #Bitcoin_Core experts here? :
Why does the #Node save and show my wallet details, like the balance?
Isn't it supposed to scan and synch to the #Bitcoin #blockchain while remaining agnostic to any specific connected wallets, thus enhancing #privacy?
Doesn't it defeat the purpose of running a node in the first place if it's gonna save my wallet details?
Thank you!

Yesterday, my #bank called me "to make sure I'm me", and I did. Then, the lady literally interrogated me about transactions I made. RIDICULOUS!!
Here are some of the insane questions they asked?
1. Do you trade in #Crypto?
2. Have you been outside the country in the past 8 months?
3. (This is the banger) Do you use VPN on your device?
I lost my temper and asked if she was my mom. I mean who the hell do they think they are to ask these questions?
She also got mad and said "you know what? I'm gonna block your last pending transaction until you come to your local branch and sort it out."
This is insane! Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi friends,
My coworker is curious and wants to learn about #Bitcoin. Do you have video recommendations for her?
Ideally the video would be simple enough but also explains the viat problem and how #BTC provides a solution. She's very sharp but I want it to be simple as it will be her first.
Thanks for the help!

Yesterday, a wealthy investor mocked me for being a #Bitcoiner in front of family.
The same guy believed deflation is bad, the national debt is going down thanks to the federal reserve (🙄), and the whole "you can't touch it or suck on it, therefore it has no value" nonsense.
I could tell he has no idea what money is or what's going on from the 1st minute. So I told him just that. I told him it's hilarious he has strong opinions about #bitcoin when he clearly doesn't even understand money.
I asked him to never buy #BTC so I can get to see his face in 10 years.
I'm usually respectful and always empathize with the #Normies, but that guy needed this.

How did #Jeff_Booth determine that we are in fold 34 out of 50 in his "folding the paper 50 times" analogy?
For context, he analogized the exponential growth of technology to folding a piece of paper 50 times, illustrating how difficult it is to understand exponential growth.
He then explained that if we were to measure where technology is today using the same analogy, we would be in fold 34 heading to 35.
How did he pick this number? Is this just a wild guess?

My newbie observation on #Nostr:
When I browse my #Facebook feed, I rarely see something novel or at least sometbing new to me. It's pretty much the same recycled trash.
On Nostr, I don't even understand half the notes! This means there's a lot of cool things I can learn. They're just not visible on centralized platforms.

I just googled "sell for bitcoin marketplace" to see if there are any platforms out there, but all I saw was a bunch of articles and videos on how critical it is to sell bitcoin RIGHT NOW. 😆
Not sure what's going on out there. I guess #Google may not be a fig fan of #Bitcoin.

Yeah that haunts me every once in a while. Our senses evolved to help us survive and reproduce, but not to see reality as it really is.
For example, sweetness means that theres probably a bunch of calories, and this keeps us alive longer. But there's no sweetness out there.
Down this rabbit hole I realized that we don't just see a simple version of reality, but rather none of it.
I highly recommend "The Case against Reality" by Donald Hoffman.
