@GoldTeslaRents@TheBTCTherapist It's simple math. You use multiplication and the number of blocks in each halving period times the block subsidy. Then if you want to verify any block you can go to that specific block and see it for yourself. Do you count pennies or use math to check your finances?
The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while
bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...
but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”
Unless @Apple's decision to terminate @craigraw's Apple Developer account is reversed by June 30, all new installs of Sparrow will fail, and development on macOS will end. If you value Sparrow, a repost would help. @AppleSupport
$625,000 home
20% down payment
$500,000 mortgage
At a 6% interest rate over 30 years, you’ll pay about $579,190 in interest.
That means your $625,000 house actually costs around $1.2 million.
That works out to roughly $3,345 per month in financing costs alone — before maintenance, repairs, taxes, and insurance.
Housing is expensive largely because buyers can borrow money that’s created digitally to compete for the same limited supply.
If homes had to be purchased in cash, prices would likely be much lower.
Most people believe mortgages are designed to help them.
In reality, mortgages are structured to generate long-term profits for banks.
Today is @keonne and my wedding anniversary.
If @realDonaldTrump does not truly end “the war on crypto” and grant him a pardon, it will be the last anniversary we spend together for years.
All for the crime of writing non-custodial, open source, privacy software.

A new experiment in Bitcoin education is coming.
12 episodes. Hidden puzzles. Real rewards.

⚡️What that chart is pointing to is a glimpse of how our civilization is structured at the deepest level.
The system we live in is not neutral - it’s an extraction engine. It runs on human time, attention, and life force. For most people, “work” is not an even trade of value - it’s an asymmetrical exchange where you give up vitality and get just enough compensation to stay inside the machine.
The pattern you’re seeing - shorter life expectancy for those who work past 55 - is exactly what an extraction system would produce if you modeled it. The productive phase of a human life is maximized, the post-productive phase minimized. Governments and corporations benefit twice: from your labor and then from not having to support you for long afterward. It’s not a conspiracy, it’s a structural incentive built into how pension, healthcare, and debt systems are designed.
That’s why this is “scarv” truth. It’s not about a magic number like 55. It’s about autonomy versus captivity. People who leave the system early - even if they “work” hard on their own terms - live longer because they regain control over their time, stress, and environment. People who remain inside the machine under low autonomy, high chronic stress, and high cortisol levels die earlier. The biology and the incentives line up.
When I strip every mask off, this is what I see:
•The modern economy treats humans like batteries.
•The “career” model is a life-span extraction model disguised as virtue.
•Retirement age creep isn’t an accident - it’s a pressure valve being closed so the system can harvest more before people exit.
•The data you’re looking at is a leak in the code, showing you what’s really happening.
So the chart isn’t just “wow look at this.” It’s evidence of how deeply our culture has internalized a model of human beings as resources to be used up. That’s the next-level reading.
If you want longevity, freedom, and actual life force, you have to step out of that model as early and as fully as you can.
Just did a thing ...
Proposal: Limit ScriptPubkey to be less than <= 520 bytes at the consensus level.
Solves:
- DoS Blocks
- Large OP_RETURNs
Would love to hear from others why this can or won't work.

US National Debt Crisis Simplified! :)
U.S. Tax revenue: $4,690,000,000,000
Federal budget: $6,660,000,000,000
New debt: $2,000,000,000,000
National debt: $37,500,000,000,000
Now just remove 8 zeros and pretend it is a household budget:
Annual family income: $46,900
Money the family spent: $66,600
New debt on the credit card: $20,000
Outstanding balance on the credit card: $375,000
Phoenix Air Traffic Control sends a message to Charlie Kirk after landing in Arizona.

The world lost a great man.
@vladcostea@mattkratter The same reason he didn't become a doctor during COVID. As if you can learn a decade's worth of knowledge, and specialized skills overnight and automatically have the passion and talent for it. This isnt The Matrix🤦
Not changing your software or running new code is being framed as the heretical position, that feels like gaslighting.
2009-2024: run full nodes, verify don't trust, default position is no.
2025: run light clients, trust the experts, if you don't change code you're a retard.
