If you buy one Bitcoin at $126,000
And it goes to $89,000
You can sell it
And buy it back 6 seconds later
You still have the same one Bitcoin
But you can realize a capital loss of $37,000 for tax purposes
A few days ago my father passed away.
It's difficult for me to even find the words for the emptiness it leaves me with, he was my last family member in the state and I was there with him until the end.
I will endure, but I don't think I'll ever be the same
I love you, Pa
How money works:
1. OpenAI signs $300B GPU deal with Oracle
2. Larry gains $100B (no GPUs shipped)
3. Larry invests in OpenAI’s $1T round
4. Sam uses $300B to pay Oracle
5. Oracle stock pumps again
6. Larry makes another $100B
7. Larry invests in OpenAI
Flywheel go brrr.
Everyone, I realize and understand that over the years, I have been a real jerk. I've said and done insensitive things to others over the years. What did it get me? A lot of being trolled and lots of regrets.
I solemnly swear: from now on, I will never ever again be a jerk.⚡️💙⚡️
Remember all the times you needed a UART adapter, and I was there for you?
Remember when you needed a BIOS update but didn't have a wired keyboard, and I was there for you?
Remember all the doors I've opened for you?
You think of me when you need me. I think of you all the time.
My weird sociological theory is the reason china has been so absurdly advanced with regards to visual art and fashion over the last decade was a reaction to censorship. The creative talent all collected in the visual arts because writing etc had limits.
I think in the west the social cost of diverting from the main acceptable schools of thought and behavior is having a similar effect, wherein journalism and other pursuits have been drained of top talent and it's now consolidating particularly in fashion.
(I actually think Chappel etc is p outspoken I'm not criticizing these ppl. I'm also a crazy pink Pantheress stan) I'm just saying - we're in definitely an absolutely unprecedented fashion renaissance at the moment, but it seems like it's coming at a cost. a lot of other art forms feel kinda muted right now.
