To me the declining Comex inventory of gold and silver are interesting. There is a record low inventory there that is eligible for delivery. We could see a force majeure soon there.😉

No wonder it's so quiet on social media atm.

The Americans are getting their spandex game fix. 😆

Boy, it has been a while. I've finally found back my Nostr keys. 😅

So I was wondering how people get hooked on certain behaviours including online behaviours.

My conclusion was that it is because of intermittant reinforcement which is very addictive.

Intermittent reinforcement is a schedule of rewards for certain behaviors or responses but without any predictable pattern. In other words, the reward comes periodically, not every time it’s performed.

Casino's are using this.
Porn sites are using this.
Shopping sites are using this.
Social media platforms are using this.

If You know for sure You get pleasure or positive feedback every time You spin the wheel, post something or watch any porn video, it will get boring really fast.
If You never get any pleasure or positive feedback You won't go back doing that either.
If You get positive feedback or pleasure only 1 in 6 times, it's way more addictive. Once in a while that dopamine hit, the really good feeling. It will make You come back for that again and again.

What this leads to is conditioning, You are now conditioned to do this again to get this feeling good hit.

I'd like to encourage You, with the above in mind, to be aware of all this.

Cheers! 😉

In case this isn't clear for everyone. The difference between currency (USD) and money (Bitcoin) 😉:

Have You ever wondered why French fries are so thin at the McDonalds?

It's because they can deepfry those raw potato pieces all at once at one high temperature.
When You make French fries from scratch with normal sized raw pieces, You have to deepfry them first at a low temperature and then deepfry them at a high temperature. 😄

#Bitcoin the protocol is proof of work.

Becoming wealthy in Bitcoin is proof of discipline.

Stack your sats and ignore the noise. 😉

Governments will tell You that all the KYC and AML requirements are done to prevent terrorism, human trafficking and money laundering.
The real reason is that they want to stop tax evasion and are using the banks for it. 😉
