People are status-seeking monkeys trying to maximize social capital. This helps explain all sorts of online behavior that would otherwise seem irrational.

Buying Bitcoin is more voting than investing

[jibran.eth @jibwrld]

clarification of voting:

-> voting is not a ballot box

it is how you spend your energy and time

said another way:

-> your real vote is what you give your energy to

@girdley @hammer_mt Makes sense to consult doers from the best in a field. But that is different from consultant firms.

HIRE CREATORS, NOT PUBLIC RELATORS

Sriram is right, but one can go further. PR is useless in a world of social media. You want creators, not public relators.

1) First, tech founders should themselves be creators or have them on the founding team. In fact, if you aren’t making your own content, it’s like not writing your own code.

2) Second, tech founders shouldn’t be giving their precious content to journos for free, as PR will advise you to do. Just look at the numbers — even an interview in the Atlantic is a vanity metric. It doesn’t have the scale to move sales.

3) Third, tech founders should never hire unreformed ex-journalists, especially PR people. In fact, like Elon did, you should probably fire* all your PR people and hire creators instead.

This is because PR is mostly composed of ex-journos that still haven’t updated their mental models of the world. They’ll advise you to reply to journalists, to give them exclusives, and to generally live in the past — because they are optimizing for status amongst their journo friends, rather than optimizing for conversions of your product.

Instead, hire creators who built their own audience and are aligned with what you’re doing. Or just use AI and do it all yourself. Add value for your audience in an authentic way, don’t try to plant a story. In short: focus on creation, not public relations.

* The only exception to this are PR people who’ve reinvented themselves as creators in their own right. Otherwise, hiring a PR person without a following is like hiring an engineer who doesn’t know how to code. They can’t advise you.

First claimed successful replication of LK-99

Accomplished by a team at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology and posted 30 minutes ago.

Why this is evidence:
The LK-99 flake slightly levitates for both orientations of the magnetic field, meaning it is not simply a magnetized piece of iron or similar 'magnetic material'. A simple magnetic flake would be attracted to one polarity of the strong magnet, and repelled by the other. A diamagnet would be repelled under either orientation, since it resists and expels all fields regardless of the polarity.

Caveats
There is no way to verify the orientation of the strong magnet in this video, also, there are yet to be published experimental measured values of this sample. Diamagnetism is a property of superconductors but without measured and verified data, this is just suggestive of a result.

Take-away
If this synthesis was indeed successful, then this material is easy enough to be made by labs other than the original research team. I would watch carefully for results out of Argonne National Lab, who are reported to be working on their own synthesis of a sample.

This overall corroborates two independent simulation studies that investigated the original Korean authors claim about material and crystal structure, and both studies supported the claims.

The attached video shows a small flake of their sample responding to an external magnetic field. I scroll through the video to skip to the relevant part.

Business is the activity you engage in to monetize your specific knowledge.

It is not something to be studied and pursued in and of itself.

This year may be one for the books.

The advent of AGI.
The devaluation of the dollar.
The rise of Bitcoin.
The global flippening to the East.

Even for someone who was thinking about these trends, the pace of change will feel shockingly, disorientingly fast.

It reminds me a bit of the early 1900s. In 1910 you still had nine royals meeting. The old world of princes was still around and seemingly immortal.

But under the surface technology had changed everything. And the 20th century roared into existence a few years later.

@CryptoCred @0x_Lotion Was gonna say lol felt like I’d seen this tweet from you before 🧐

The libertarian view is also completely vindicated.

1) Fed caused it
2) Regulators didn’t catch it
3) FDIC exacerbated it

Most banks now have unrealized losses thanks to Fed’s manic rate hike — not just SVB. Regulators didn’t alert depositors. And FDIC is blocking acquirers.

First the Fed printed trillions.
Then denied inflation was happening.
Then said it was transitory.
Then suddenly sent rates to the moon.
That crashed much of the economy.
Debris to start falling this year.
Banks, real estate, blue states.
Then…pressure to print will resume.
