Bit Babbage

I made the computer possible so you idiots could allow for the creation of Bitcoin.

Now get in the damn lifeboat before I get even more annoyed.

中國飛鶴乳業在加拿大的品牌「加拿大皇家牛奶」，在被加拿大專家質疑從加拿大政府拿了大筆補貼之後
網站突然關閉了
這處理方式也是非常中國了😂
果然，用加拿大納稅人的錢補貼中國品牌在加拿大的工廠，這是個敏感話題🤷

BREAKING: The first Federal National Mortgage Association-backed mortgage using Bitcoin in the US just closed using Coinbase 🇺🇸

The homebuyer said: “We closed on our home and my Bitcoin stayed intact. We didn’t have to liquidate, didn’t have to time the market” 🙌

Today is 37 years since the Tiananmen Massacre

On this day in 1989, the Chinese Communist Party ordered the People's Liberation Army to open fire on its own citizens.

Peaceful pro-democracy students and workers who gathered in Beijing's Tiananmen Square demanding freedom, anti-corruption, and basic human rights were crushed under tanks and gunfire.

The protests began in mid-April 1989, triggered by the death of reformist leader Hu Yaobang. On May 13, students began a hunger strike. Martial law was declared on May 20, but protesters remained peaceful.

In the early hours of June 4, troops advanced with tanks and live ammunition. Soldiers fired on unarmed civilians blocking their path in the streets surrounding the square.

Hundreds to thousands were killed. Thousands more were imprisoned, tortured, or disappeared.

To this day, the Chinese government censors all mention of it, erases it from history books, and threatens anyone who remembers.

The bread price-fixing scandal cost Canadians an estimated $5 billion. Most of us are receiving about $50, at most. If that $5 billion were distributed evenly across Canada's population, the amount would be roughly $125 per Canadian.

Apparently, somewhere along the way, about $75 per person went missing.

So it came to pass that a socialist beheld a newborn, pink and squalling, and cried, “See? Helpless! Thus capitalism is bunk and rugged individualism a fraud.”We who had once been such infant (and somehow learned to file taxes) wondered why the villages that raise the children always run short of diapers once the central committee takes over. A small thing, perhaps. But then, so is a baby.

First a trickle, then a torrent

There have now been 30 papers since 2021 showing Bitcoin solving all three aspects of the energy trilemma:
♻️energy sustainability
🔐energy security (including grid stability) and
💳energy equity

No other technology can address all three concurrently

In fact, many energy experts believed this was impossible

(Source link to all 30 papers with a summary of they says in comments)

Floor crossing is “odious” and infuriates voters, says MP @DonDavies. Private Bill C-278 would require MPs who cross to face a byelection. “Political opportunism has gotten to such a point in this place that it’s overriding fundamental respect for democracy.”

Strange how Carney fact checks never come from the his fawning media "The prime Minister instead spread misinformation. He told all of you that investment has been up the last two quarters. Well, this is a quote directly from the StatsCan report. Business capital investment fell 0.7% in the first quarter of 2026, the fifth consecutive quarterly decline."

"And so the Prime Minister once again is failing the Canadian people by refusing to tell them the truth" @PierrePoilievre @MarkJCarney

🚨Today @HooverInst should clarify:

1) Whether it received $3 million from a Chinese source in 2025.

2) If true, why the gift was routed through a cutout.

3) If true, what 'directed research' the gift funded.
