@Handre Fun fact: King Sneferu built both of these as actual pyramids c. 2600 BC.

Your reminder that NASA scanned and catalogued all of their film photographs from the original Apollo missions in hi-resolution

This presentation is giving me massive lightcone FOMO

[Pavel Durov @durov]

This year, I wish you less — less information, less food, less entertainment, less communication, less stimulation. You already have too much of all that, and it stands in the way of your serenity, health, sleep, and creativity. Merry Christmas! ☦️

The perfection of snow in the paintings of Danish artist Peder Mørk Mønsted (1859–1941)

[Esa Ruskeepää @esaruskeepaa]

This is exactly right.

[Remu ⚡️ @btcbenchmark]

Languages work via rough consensus

You cannot define words solely by yourself; you must use common definitions to communicate with others speaking the same language

If you define a word alone, you hard-fork into a private language with no one to speak it with, quickly descending into meaninglessness

Holy shit Elon is actually Matrioshka brain pilled.

[ZUBY: @ZubyMusic]

Endless money printing is the source of most of your economic woes.

It's not 'billionaires', 'capitalism', or any particular race of people.

Your pounds, dollars, euros, naira, and yen are devalued daily.

And as long as the problem is misdiagnosed, it will continue forever.

My kids have more bitcoin than most nation states.

[Jameson Lopp @lopp]

We're so early that if you have any bitcoin whatsoever, you're doing better than most nation states.

I love this church. Perhaps the greatest building ever. But pyramids were also complex. Their challenges were in a way opposite to Gothic cathedrals. They had to be completed within the king's reign—a huge logistical problem. Their mass and embodied energy are just immense.

[Jeremy Wayne Tate @JeremyTate41]

Why do students learn so much about the Egyptian pyramids and almost nothing about the great cathedrals that took far longer to build and were infinitely more complex?

This one took more than 600 years to build.

[Nayib Bukele @nayibbukele]

Art imitating life imitating art

[Austin Tunnell @AustinTunnell]

Here it is completed.

About 40’ tall. Marks the entrance to a sub-urban neighborhood. We did 2.

What makes stuff like this make financial sense as a developer? Incredible branding.

“Which neighborhood?”
“The one with the brick towers.”
“Oh, that one!”

Sticks in ppl’s minds.

The SR-71 Blackbird flew 85,000 feet up at over Mach 3, where the air outside was –60°F but its titanium skin burned at 600°F from speed alone. At that height, the sky went black and the Earth curved below. A feat in American techno-futurism.

@nextbigfuture There will be no more Bitcoin, but more and more fiat competing for the remaining coins.

The bust of Dostoevsky we crafted, after I read Crime and Punishment.

The point of declaring words violence was always to be able to use violence against words.

[Anthony Pompliano 🌪 @APompliano]

We are entering a “Crazy Uncle” market where people who own gold, bitcoin, guns and land will do very well.

[Esa Ruskeepää @esaruskeepaa]

@Pakkaustukku Absolutely! And thanks so much!

[Esa Ruskeepää @esaruskeepaa]

One thing is clear. I need more Bitcoin.
