And killed notifications from Spotify as well.
Cannot believe how there is practically no company by now that has not abused push notifications for product marketing.
I’ve now been trained to disallow notifications from any and all apps - save for my main banking+messaging one
The coins that can’t be frozen or tracked should be called crypto
The rest like tether etc should just called be called digital currency and removed from crypto category
It’s misleading and a farce
The real aha moment is when the crypto people realize that a decentralized stablecoin is impossible and Bitcoin is the only decentralized solution. Until then they hold on to hopium!
@MbarkCherguia If she'd damaged $90 million worth of buildings, it would be a lot longer sentence. Buildings can be rebuilt. No one can repaint the masterwork.
When you listen to Hasan Piker speak it becomes very obvious why Lenin and Stalin killed so many people.
He appoints himself judge, jury and executioner - anybody who ideologically opposes him is guilty of vague crimes like “social murder” and can therefore be executed
What's happening in Virginia should serve as a warning to the rest of the country. Democrats gained power and the first thing they did was invest all their political capital into disenfranchising the conservative voters of their state. This is what the Democrat machine will do to all Americans if given the chance. And it's one of the many reasons I'm running to defeat their loyal soldier Susie Lee.
The largest Ethereum layer 2, which has also been regularly praised by Vitalik as being the most decentralized L2, just froze $100m worth of ETH that was hacked by criminals.
Are you finally starting to realize the bitcoin maxis were right?
Life pro tip: You can now disable Shorts in the YouTube app

Boom. Shorts gone.
Hallelujah. Nature has healed. 🙏🏼
Ever notice how the Constitution was utterly powerless to stop everything from COVID lockdowns to the explicitly anti-White/anti-Male DEI regime of the last dozen years, but it's now constantly being invoked to defend everything from giving citizenship to the children of illegals and CCP spies to sending unlimited sums of taxpayer money to the Progressive NGO complex?
I read the paper, to the best of my ability.
I'm willing to entertain the idea that we have a genuine QC threat on the cards.
At a minimum, it would be a mistake to not take it seriously, and start developing a formal PCQ plan for Bitcoin.
Having a plan, and not needing it, is far better than the other way around.
maybe @saylor should stop posting ai slop and start slapping around bitcoin devs
BTC has a major narrative problem and will continue to get bullied by quantum researchers until all bitcoin devs are replaced
ultimately the coins will be safe. but the narrative wars will get ugly
An atheist ponders the intellectual benefits of religion:
The change came when trangender ideology emerged:
"I have never seen anything like it. In amazement, I watched scores of people I respected add pronouns in their emails, flags to their bios, and repeat circular mantras like “trans women are women”.
The same people who laughed at religious credulity accepted the idea of a “gender” fully and without question, and worse–they suppressed all open discussion.
Overnight, the same people who campaigned against blasphemy laws enacted their own version without a hint of irony. I watched long-standing figures in the movement be cast down for this crime of doubt; first by insane radicals on social media, but as the disease progressed, also by the most prominent organizations we had.
In other words, movement atheism had betrayed nearly every value it claimed to stand for.
I think of all the kind and generous people I had met there (including the heads of FFRF), and my heart breaks to see their fall. There are many, I’m sure, who are bowing only because the pressure to do so is enormous, and I can sympathize with this and wouldn’t wish a woke mob on anyone. I myself stayed silent far longer than I should have. But while I have compassion for the bullied, I am astonished at the zealotry of the believers, who are legion.
Most humiliating of all is the fact that atheists appear to be more likely than the religious to hold this particular unscientific dogma–a malfeasance heightened by the direct contradiction it poses to (alleged) core principles of reason and science.
It is because of this I now seriously ponder what I could not have imagined myself considering just a few years ago: the intellectual value of faith.
I wonder if I have greatly overestimated human reason. In the past, I had mostly thought about the “ceiling” that faith created–the ways in which religion hindered progress, scientific achievement and understanding.
But now I think much more about the “floor” it creates, too. Perhaps without certain myths granting the power of the sacred to some fundamental truths (like the fact that there are two sexes), we would drift away from reality altogether. Maybe that is what is happening now. I could not have imagined it could be so.
I was wrong."

Yes, but: readers who dont know the phrase "Chesterton Fences" are aided by the redundancy - and piques their curiosity to Grok the term. Conversely: people who already know the term: they resonate with an obscure term being used that they recognize, showing that the poster is part of their same tribe.
