@MarinadeFinance @stakingindex Hi, there. Port Finance mSOL reserve has used a dead oracle since 2023, blocking repay/withdraw and locking funds. I am trying to withdraw my mSOL ... do you know if anyone from that team is still reachable?

@brunbitty @LynAldenContact I love this list 🙏. The way I see/feel it, is that it describes the level of "spiritual maturity" of a person. Awareness is key in that marurity, but not the same. Is this your list, or taken somehow from some spiritual tradicion/filosophy?

@armesillaconde @armesillaconde, si estudias un poco el concepto de dinero, descubrirás que durante miles de años (hasta bien entrado el siglo XX), el dinero nunca necesitó tener el sello estatal. A lo largo de la historia, de hecho, ha sido al contrario muchas veces.

@ScottAdamsSays @jabravo Thanks, dear Scott, for all the smiles you gave to me when I needed them the most.

@scottmelker My kids are 16 and 14. Your thoughts and words resonate fully with my experience, they are full of truth. Presence and present are, actually, the most real and valuable assets we have at any moment in life.

Europe’s car industry should brace for impact — or, as we say in Germany, "muss sich warm anziehen". I have no desire to be long any of the major auto manufacturers. The EU’s policy flip-flopping — most recently its softening of the once-ironclad mandate for 100% EV production — has only added regulatory whiplash to an already brutal competitive landscape.

[Mr. Stones @apedrera]

@FroehlichThors1 @HenrikZeberg Most car manufacturers (europe's clearly) still don't see that the machine itself will be less and less important over time. Even the engine (electric or ice) will be mostly irrelevant in a few years. The value will be mostly in the autonomous and smart capabilities (software).

[Mr. Stones @apedrera]

@NoelleInMadrid I fully agree. Being an european, is sad to see this and witness how we're becoming irrelevant. Our huge fragmentation is the main reason, probably.

@DocumentingBTC Whoever he/she was, was clever as hell. What a clear long term vision of the project he/she had, how concious and low-time preferenced mind. Fucking R-E-S-P-E-C-T !!!! 🫡

[Mr. Stones @apedrera]

@TheBTCTherapist @PeterSchiff Mychael Saylor scared of debating with Peter Schiff?? 🤣. Joke of the day !!

@NoelleInMadrid I also enjoy Madrid lights every christmas. What I can't enjoy is the crypto guys in Madrid. Where do they get @NoelleInMadrid ? Any interesting bitcoin or crypto club/place in Madrid to hang around with crypto fellows and share ideas?

[Mr. Stones @apedrera]

Crypto is the perfect hedge against financial stability.

We should be talking a lot about Bitcoin and Activism. Listen to this talk.

"Bitcoin is the Most Important Human Rights Technology of the 21st Century"

Please share with anyone who doesn't think Bitcoin has a use case ✌️

What a difference, a year makes ... a complete U turn from previous SEC chair.

[Paul Atkins @SECPaulSAtkins]

Thank you, @A1Policy, for hosting me today to discuss “Project Crypto,” which will be the SEC’s north star in aiding the President in his efforts to make America the “crypto capital of the world.”

My soul breaks with every peace of news like this. Why are we allowing this? One day the future generations will judge us for doing nothing to stop this madness.

My friend @JenniferLoewe10 has asked me to post the letter below, which she recently received from Hidiyya, a friend of hers from Rafah who she has know for more than two decades:

I feel like we live on another planet, far removed from Earth.

No one here can provide even the minimum amount of food for their families. The crossings have been closed for about five months and next to nothing gets in. Even if some international organizations try to bring in flour or canned goods, thieves steal them and sell them in the markets at exorbitant prices.

Those who cannot afford food (at least bread) and do not have the money have no choice but to go to the American Death Centers. There, they may receive some canned goods or flour, but most often they do not receive anything because the amount of aid is very small compared to the number of people who go there. They often receive a bullet instead & well, that ends their life. Large numbers are killed daily in these Death Centers, as I call them.

To make matters worse, thieves stand outside the centers, waiting for those who leave. At gunpoint, they steal what a few people have obtained and sell it in the markets at exorbitant prices. In any case, it is very rare for anyone to return with any food.

A very few vegetables are available in the markets, but people's ability to buy them is non-existent. Everything available is stolen, but no one can buy anything. It’s all an absurd and nightmarish joke on us. Famine is starting to devour our bodies. We are starting to feel dizzy and exhausted. We are trying to keep living, but everything we stored has run out: pasta, rice, lentils, sauce, and canned food. We have nothing left. We ground the lentils and made bread from it.

Even the food banks that used to provide people with lentils every day stopped providing this meal to people. We used to depend on it daily, but it stopped because the stock ran out.

Here for four months we have not eaten eggs, cheese, dairy, any kind of vegetables, meat, fish, almost nothing here. We have lost a lot of weight, immunity and strength. People's faces are pale and thin. People cannot walk or make any effort with the high temperatures and humidity in the summer. Nothing is more important right now than saving children and infants from the food and medicine blockade. Everything else comes later.

As you know, the decision to starve Palestinians, especially children, infants, and the elderly in Gaza, to death wasn't made yesterday. It was premeditated from the outset of the genocide 21 months ago, and is now being carried out in its most horrific form. No one is surprised. Everything was known, expected, and warned against.

Mass starvation has already begun to claim lives. In Gaza, we have passed the point of no return.

What distinguishes Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people is that it is completely without secrecy, without pause, and without any regard for the existence of Palestinians as human beings.

The crimes are committed openly, loudly, without fear, and without accountability. Therefore, there is no longer a need for official orders. When the intent is this clear, there is nothing to hide.

If this isn't genocide, what is?

[Mr. Stones @apedrera]

@_heykike @RadWill_ Sorry. After reading the paper, the vhart compares unemployment rates between 2017/2018 and 2023. In that case, 2023 is still early AI adoption, and the argument is still valid. But comparing 2017/2018 with 2022 would have been clearer, I believe.

[Mr. Stones @apedrera]

@_heykike @RadWill_ That chart is 2017-->2018. The point is to show that, before AI era, those you mention were already getting worse, and that can not be because of AI, at that time.
