@Melt_Dem a good standing desk that lowers surface to 25 inch (most cheap ones are 27-28 inches) the few extra inches make a huge difference for shoulder strain. standing desk itself relieves post meal strain. a true recline chair that relieves built up back pressure from sitting too long
Good time now to imagine what happens if fiat<>crypto ramps get SHUT hard by the gvt:
NO way to get money in. Bearish right?
Could actually be a huge step forward. An entire separate economy can be built around the digital assets-
With no choice to convert to fiat, people will save and spend them for each others' goods and services.
Similar to a 'Black Market' economy but it would be a '0s-and-1s Market'.
As the governments cause inflation and crash the fiat economy, it will be an avenue for people to opt out of their local corrupt or inept governments.
All we need is some organization, because right now when people say 'Crypto' we have a group of:
- serious assets with good distribution and some potential for moneyness (BTC, maybe ETH)
- total ponzi /casino stuff
- tech investments/ basically securities
- stablecoins but with different categories- only ones backed by crypto-money not bank deposits can work in this system
There needs to be a coalescing and the global crypto users to get their shit together and figure out how a non-fiat money can work.
The most important consideration is seignorage. We cannot print shit out of thin air and expect there to be money-coordination. Value has to be earned.
Time for philosophers to step in and not just techies and casino operators.
@bluephonecrypto this was the shit im talkn about. the dude perfectly articulated and hopefully helped to explain away some of the mind boggling shit you and I had to deal with in the past. Reason why i mentioned you in the tweet.
@bluephonecrypto Yeah, even shadowx bro. People change, friends change, even families change. The only constants in life are change, struggles, and hopefully with a bit of strive, salvation.
@bluephonecrypto@naval Yeah... no one's happy about the status or outcome of the project w/ where its at in the current market. Coulda been great. It wasn't planned with the right structure or incentives from the get-go. Nothing we could have done to reason w/ people who took market cycles for granted.
@EmersonDickie Twice last cycle I've urged the guy to derisk some shitcoins he was all-in on, into a moving asset. The 1st was shib as $200m and the 2nd was luna at the bottom before it printed the 100x overnight. The dude just kept on buidl and buidl. Living thru that cycle was real pain. 🔥
@EmersonDickie It's not just bad habits either. It's the hubris and unappreciation for market timing, position, and historic opportunity. I've seen a very close former friend roundtrip 8 figures+ in the span of a cycle. The name of the game is to ALWAYS be a hungry student.

Proud to share that I was accepted into the @MIT class of ‘27!
Pretty surreal, but very excited for the next chapter of my life
