@0xKNL__ The 250,000 number came from extrapolating the densest pocket of abuse ever discovered to the entire population for the last 70 years
It’s not exactly rigorous
@zackvoell Yes, you probably shouldn’t believe it
The 250,000 number is completely made up. Look at the report’s “methodology” if you can even call it that
Obviously still awful all around etc but the 250,000 figure is nonsense
@CryptoTaxSucks If he was meticulous about security there’s most likely a physical seed phrase somewhere, probably set up and hidden away around the same time he got a hardware wallet. If he ever bought a cryptoplate type thing you know there’s a physical seed to look for
Tick tock
This is not what someone does when they have any better options
Hard deadline for oil prices a few weeks away and no plan for averting it
Iran likely to continue showing surprising restraint since all they have to do is run down the clock
Sources said one option Trump is considering is launching an operation that is big in scale but short in duration, with the aim of pressing Iran to change its position in the negotiations.
The Irish are gonna feel pretty silly when they sober up and realise they burnt down half the town and taped their phones to dogs for reasons that seemed good at the time but are less explicable in the cold light of day
@thedefivillain Yeah, so basically it looks like it obviously doesn’t make sense, but because it’s so obvious everyone figures the market knows something they don’t and assumes it’s making sense on some deeper unknown level
Guys will look you dead in the eye and say, without a shred of irony, that ETH has been super overvalued for its entire existence because it doesn’t attract a monetary premium and is only used as gas
@mattyryze Arguably: the topic isn’t necessarily outside the AI beat and assuming it is with “how it’s going” framing dismissively implies women entering AI as inevitably veering to sex work
Huh. I was just gonna play devil’s advocate, but actually yeah, I can see how that’s not great
So those assets will not be returned to Iran as part of the negotiations = deal is even more not happening than ever before, and there’s an expectation of Gulf allies suffering further damage
🚨BREAKING: US planning to use Iranian assets to rebuild Gulf allies, a source familiar with Secretary Bessent’s thinking tells me.
“Treasury will utilize all tools available to allow Iranian assets to be made available to our Gulf allies to support rebuilding and repairs for any future damage caused by Iran," the source tells me.
This comes as the administration aims to put increased economic pressure on Iran. The Iranian assets could include frozen assets and ships the U.S. has seized.
The administration is reaching out to Gulf allies right now and asking for their evaluation.
“The Secretary has also directed his team to assess conditions amongst our Gulf allies and request comprehensive estimates of the costs associated with repairing damage Iran has inflicted since the start of the conflict,” the source said.
“Treasury will further consider whether Iranian assets could be used to support repairs for past damages.”
@punishedlinusst Nah, if anything it’s a satire of the edgy joke genre. The punchline here is all about going one step beyond the reader’s expectations, which means implicitly recognising that the edginess of the false punchline in the setup is a tired cliche
Saylor’s always made it very clear that he expects BTC to just go up forever. It is something he genuinely believes
It should not be surprising that STRC was structured around this assumption, or that it has the potential to death spiral if this assumption is incorrect
