🔴 I have more reports from Tehran as well as Southern Iran.

• People are trapped in their homes almost all day.

• They're allowed a small window to go outside to buy essential household items. Groups of foreign terrorists escort them to shops.

• These terrorists observe their every movement and listen to their every word. If anyone steps out of line or says something "wrong", they get shot.

• Each shop also has a heavy regime presence. They are everywhere.

• The regime is blasting loud Arabic, Shia islamic chants throughout neighbourhoods.

• Patrols make sure people don't even look out of their own windows at nighttime.

• If you are giving birth, you can't go to any hospital. You must arrange for someone to visit your home instead to give birth in your home.

• The closest comparison is now Handmaid's Tale, but real life and not fictional.

• It's a state of actual foreign occupation. There are more Afghan and Arab mercenaries than there are local IRGC forces. The mullahs imported thousands of non-Iranian islamic terrorists because they would have lost control otherwise.

• There is an actual genocide happening, not in the fake Gaza sense but literal mass murder in the darkness, on a scale and speed barely ever seen since WW2.

• The death toll reports I'm getting are over 50,000 so far. In a country of 90 million, everyone knows at least one or more loved ones who've been murdered. This number is rising rapidly, and will probably skyrocket again when the internet returns

• Iran is now a concentration camp containing 90 million hostages.

@MickiCrossChain @Iam_Polycarp Also when the US government got hacked for $20M a few months ago I helped recover a sizable amount of those funds.

Was rewarded zero for that.

I just have many examples like this.

Don't fret, brother.

Crypto is, and has always been, 99% nonsense grifty garbage/scams/jokes, and 1% fundamental global financial system revolution.

But this 99/1 is based just on quantity of projects.

Considered by market cap, it's more like 75% quality, 25% nonsense. Bitcoin is good. Ethereum is good. Stablecoins are good. Several dozen defi projects are good. Wildly cool technology permeates through all of it, and sound economics underpins its long term growth, though the short term feels often like an appallingly irrational market.

How to cope with this dichotomy?

Embrace the degen frontier and have fun, and recognize that amidst it all, a decentralized financial system is real, is important, and is working. None of it is forced on anyone, after all.

We are building and we are attracting the world toward us... and much of the world simply wants to gamble and have fun. This is okay, and actually provides capital for the important work happening behind the casino.

It is, actually, working.

We are realizing the wildest dreams of those who are into it for all the right reasons, despite the accompanying fantasies of those who aren't.

Just keep building, and build well.

Actually insane that a career grifter managed to surprise a whole industry of grifters who were expecting him to grift, with unprecedented levels of grifting

and almost everything else has no value whatsoever

The Webb telescope recently set its sights on a little piece of the night sky, capturing thousands of galaxies in a cluster 10 billion light years away. Every tiny dot in this image (obvious stars aside) is a cosmic megalopolis that may be home to millions of civilizations.

I’m in a tough spot bc 98% of my money is either on FTX or on chain and most of it just comes from buying coins…

This rule doesn’t make sense

Somewhere out there your dream girl is rooting for you to make it this cycle

@Rewkang But the platform will have a problem attracting enough users. I think easier to 1) add a “donate” tab on wallet apps or 2) develop an API that exchanges can use to add the “give at checkout” option during swaps or transactions

@ESYudkowsky People just need to know when you get a positive experience on psychedelics it’s great, but when it’s negative it’s ABYSMAL.

[BABBLΞ @0xbabble]

@Fiskantes This is to prevent ppl from selling chips to china. Nothing to do with trump winning

[BABBLΞ @0xbabble]

@flaneurakami No way

[BABBLΞ @0xbabble]

is there anything better than vyvanse at improving focus?

[BABBLΞ @0xbabble]

@historian_ftx Does this seems fair to you? How come other execs didn’t get the same treatment

[BABBLΞ @0xbabble]

@historian_ftx Please consider writing a book or producing a series about this whole drama?

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Andrew Garfield talks to Elmo about missing his mother after she recently passed away.

“When I miss her I remember it’s because she made me so happy, I can celebrate her & miss her at the same time”
