Damn, not a lot of support for wall-o-texts.

I think it needs more intercourse.

Aye, aye, captain.

This one's gonna take multiple watches to fully absorb.

It may brand itself as a Bitcoin conference, but It's becoming more of an affinity scam each year. Last year it was basically the stablecoin and DAT conference.

It's also becoming increasingly masturbatory, which is why I suspect otherwise high-signal thinkers in the space are still attending. It's hard to resist a good wank, it would seem.

Your precision with a reciprocating saw is genuinely impressive. I'm a bit of a hack woodworker myself and I'm looking forward to the future where I have a proper shop with all the tools.

In the meantime, the bedframe that has supported my wife and I for years now was constructed in much the same way: 2x4's, 1x4's (for the slats), sawzall, drill. I confess, I did not attempt dovetails.

This makes me wonder if quantum FUD will hit AI... Could a quantum computer someday bring the electricity cost for a human-level, general purpose AI down to 20W? Superhuman perhaps in the mere hundreds or low thousands?

That could be pretty disastrous for even the "picks and shovels" investors of this particular gold rush.

Haha yeah I figured you meant the reverse, but I also like to consider if we might be wrong. What's the worst that could happen?

We gave our time and energy to something beautiful that could have vastly changed the world for the better. For some reason it didn't work out. It means financial hardship for those of us who tried, but we went down swinging for a noble cause.

For the record, I don't think that's going to be the case but even if it is, it was worth the fight.

If I'm wrong I'll ride this thing to zero and go back to being broke. Again. Nothing I haven't gotten myself out of before. I guess I'll probably become a goldbug at that point, restarting at square one.

If I'm right, I'm free to live my life how I want sooner. Travel the world, build a self-sufficient homestead, spend my days learning about whatever interests me. Philosophy, math, physics, whatever. Tinker with electronics. Build shit. Grow food. Raise chickens. I am not short on ideas, only means (for now).

"Confiscate Satoshi's coins" is "tax the rich" coming to Bitcoin.

BIP 361, now this... I'm calling it:

Steal Sats Summer.

For those who enjoy poultry, duck is king.

Suppose there's a bet on PM about whether this soldier gets a presidential pardon.

Betting yes would be betting for "your team," since the US military ostensibly benefits Americans. So it's cool, by this logic. One of the Trumpets takes the bet, daddy delivers, America wins, right?
