You used to be able to just create a Native GUI App in 10 seconds. No Electron, no Game Engines, no Web frameworks. Just a lean fast .EXE produced in seconds. Works on any Windows machine WITHOUT Internet connection. Software Development is actually going backwards.
@CarlBMenger Why is it painful? Isn’t the point of Bitcoin to escape the fiat system? Why are we in pain if its fiat value decreases? More sats can be stacked at a cheaper price.
Some 25 year old out there is about to spend the next 40 years of their life sitting in traffic, living paycheck to paycheck, working a job they hate and stressing about finances because they won’t read a book about this
I’m turning 41, but I don’t feel like celebrating.
Our generation is running out of time to save the free Internet built for us by our fathers.
What was once the promise of the free exchange of information is being turned into the ultimate tool of control.
Once-free countries are introducing dystopian measures such as digital IDs (UK), online age checks (Australia), and mass scanning of private messages (EU).
Germany is persecuting anyone who dares to criticize officials on the Internet. The UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets. France is criminally investigating tech leaders who defend freedom and privacy.
A dark, dystopian world is approaching fast — while we’re asleep. Our generation risks going down in history as the last one that had freedoms — and allowed them to be taken away.
We’ve been fed a lie.
We’ve been made to believe that the greatest fight of our generation is to destroy everything our forefathers left us: tradition, privacy, sovereignty, the free market, and free speech.
By betraying the legacy of our ancestors, we’ve set ourselves on a path toward self-destruction — moral, intellectual, economic, and ultimately biological.
So no, I’m not going to celebrate today. I’m running out of time. WE are running out of time.
PAVEL DUROV: I BOUGHT A FEW THOUSAND OF BITCOIN AT $700 EACH
“I was a big believer in Bitcoin.
Since more or less the start of it, I got to buy my first few thousand Bitcoin in 2013, and I didn’t care much.
I think I bought at the local maximum, it’s something like $700 per Bitcoin, and I just threw a couple of million there.”

🚨🇺🇸 LATE NIGHT COMEDY OR STATE PROPAGANDA?
Turn on Colbert, Fallon, or Kimmel (well, not anymore) and you’ll hear the same chorus.
Endless digs at Republicans, carefully staged lovefests with Democrats, and applause tracks for the White House.
Colbert gaslights Americans on the economy, Fallon wipes away his “sin” of once joking with Trump by fawning over Hillary Clinton, and Kimmel propped up Biden through record inflation.
Meanwhile, YouTube boosts these clips into trending, giving corporate-backed “comedy” a megaphone while silencing independent creators.
Kimmel got booted after calling the leftist assassin who shot Charlie Kirk in the neck a conservative.
Maybe the world is starting to heal, but it doesn’t change much.
Yet in this rigged system, it’s Greg Gutfeld, the lone late-night conservative, who tops the ratings, beating Colbert and Kimmel without Hollywood elites or network favoritism.
