would Graphene force me to not listen to youtube podcasts? only allow 2FA & Whatsapp?

looking for these things, i found "the light phone" and their website is so basic it's reminding me of a Portlandia sketch "battle of the gentle bands" that youtube randomly showed me last week.

You can do just about whatever you want on Graphene. If you haven't looked into it, do so.

you can still use whatsapp and google stuff. the only thing you really lose is push messaging, because it's practically backdoored.

the joy of a simple Casio watch is inspiring me to pursue a flip phone as well or something less than a smart phone. I just need whatsapp and 2 FA .

anyone have a setup that works?

i believe someone has made a double touch screen flip phone design. that's probably what you are shooting for

thanks for the question, makes me feel smarter than i am.

i just heard that the prediction market jumped to a much higher probability for the rate hike at some point.

some people say the stock market will use AI to power incredible returns. others say it's going to suck the P/E ratios down from 25 to 10 in the next couple years...

i don't know if we ever faced rate hikes with potential alien disclosures either...

what i'm curious about is: has bitcoin already digested that possibility in real time, while 500 companies are still doing the math on their quarterly calls.

what do you think?

i'm testing a shiny new argument for people to diversify into bitcoin:

the argument is:
bitcoin has already priced in the Iran war. it has also already priced in the possibility of rate hikes.

the rest of the stock market with quarterly earnings and no clarity has not.

it would be wise to sit in the thing that has much more real-time reactivity and not the thing that is stable simply because it's waiting for 500 individual companies to figure out how all these things affect their bottom lines.

Fiat deposited into checking accounts doesn’t belong to you, it belongs to the banks. It’s just an illusion to think it’s your money.
