Safe enough I guess

Thanks for these.

My wish is that you would ask your favorite high-end LLM to deep research how you could plan and host a multistop city plus countryside tour.

And as I type that, I think, wow, China must have like a million miles of coastline or something, some of which must be among the most beautiful in the world, and I'm not sure I've ever seen any of them ever. Will check YouTube later.

(I'm a long time River customer and recommend them. That said, I asked my LLM: )

Q: Silly?

A: Yes and no. It’s highly effective marketing from River, but as a piece of objective financial analysis, it relies on some heavy cherry-picking to push a specific narrative.
Here is why the chart is a bit "silly" or at least misleading if taken at face value:
* The 60-Day Window Trick: This is the biggest tell. Look at the COVID Outbreak on March 11, 2020. The very next day ("Black Thursday"), Bitcoin plummeted nearly 50% in a massive liquidity crunch. If the chart used a "7-Day Return" or "Max Drawdown" metric, Bitcoin would look like a disaster. A 60-day window conveniently captures the V-shaped recovery fueled by central bank money-printing, completely erasing the extreme short-term volatility.
* Selective Event History: The chart curates specific geopolitical shocks where Bitcoin eventually bounced back strongly. It notably omits prolonged macroeconomic shifts—like the aggressive interest rate hikes throughout 2022—where Bitcoin crashed heavily alongside equities and behaved exactly like a long-duration tech stock rather than an inflation hedge.
* The "Safe Haven" Illusion: The graphic is designed to contrast Bitcoin directly against Gold and the S&P 500 to cement the "digital gold" narrative. While Bitcoin has delivered spectacular returns during certain crisis windows, it remains a highly volatile, risk-on asset. Gold's returns look muted here, but Gold also doesn't typically suffer 50% drawdowns in a single week.
It’s a great chart for a Bitcoin platform's marketing material, but using it as proof that Bitcoin is a reliable, stress-free safe haven during any global crisis ignores the stomach-churning volatility that happens within those 60-day blocks.

Any update?

The memes are going to be awesome

@hal if you're listening, please list up to 10 alternative networks to use to use Bitcoin when your primary Internet connection is down. I'm thinking LoRa, the African SMS service whose name i can't remember, etc.

I hear you ;)
