@tacticalinvest_ It really was. Sucks the environment is not super accepting of kaspa at the moment. I’ll still hold my 10k kaspa strong even if it goes to $0

[Jon @jon44618]

@tacticalinvest_ Fucking autocorrect. You know I’m talking about Kaspa

[Jon @jon44618]

@tacticalinvest_ I used to watch your Kasparov videos. Especially the one where you interviewed the eth miner who filpped to Kasparov back at the merge

[Jon @jon44618]

@tacticalinvest_ You didn’t get reinstated for real?

[Jon @jon44618]

@tacticalinvest_ Not complaining about the 10x but just curious your thoughts. It really doesn't feel like something with legs. Especially to pass Kaspa's MC in a day of heavy trading. CMC community is sitting at ~50% confidence.

[Jon @jon44618]

@tacticalinvest_ Just curious, do you think it will hold? I got in at ~40 cents for 120 tokens. Sold about half to get into other things that were pumping and to recoup my initial $50 (+ $150 gain) then yesterday phased out another 40 tokens at around $9 (+360) staked 10, holding 10 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@MiningRabid If you need the money now, yes. If you don’t need it for 5+ years you are going to have plenty of opportunity to acquire more. I wonder how low it goes before the banks and Sailor’s of the world start buying hard.

@RedPandaMining @YouTube I read this real quick and thought it said 7 bitcoins and I was like hell yea! Haha.

[Jon @jon44618]

@RedPandaMining No shit… damn dude

Gently, softly, calmly, let’s talk about what’s happening in DC right now.

Friends, have you ever been through a ZBB process? If not, let me give you my take. So, in a corporation where expenses are out of control, you have to put the entire company through a zero based budgeting process. It is one of the most painful things that people in a company experience.

You basically have to justify every. single. expense. And you also cut a bunch, and then only add back after you’ve gone through a proper ZBB cycle.

The US government is going through a ZBB right now. And that is necessary because spending is out of control. The complexity is so vast that I expect it will take AI to decipher.

You cannot tell me that a government that accidentally wires hundreds of millions of dollars to the Taliban has its finances in order. That signals an underlying disaster. That signals bad stewardship of resources.

In fact, it is a disaster. Over the last 20 fiscal years, the US government has made ~$2.7 trillion in "improper payments," according to the US Government Accountability Office. Trillion! With a T!

That financial management disaster was not caused by @elonmusk. And there is no painless way to clean it up.

Elon is doing what any executive would do walking into a giant mess. You ZBB and then build back.

So, I don’t believe that America is going to be on the wrong side of global right and wrong, as some are saying. I don’t believe that America is going to be permanently isolationist. I do believe that unwatched finances will get out of control in any human system, and that the GAO has been trying to ring this bell for years, and that scaled complexity requires scaled financial management.

Because the US has the largest budget in the world, it will now go through the single most complex ZBB ever undertaken in the history of the world.

Some states do ZBB, but it's never been done at the federal level. President Jimmy Carter tried, but the bureaucratic systems were too complex, and President Ronald Reagan abandoned the attempt.

So, if there is one person in the world chosen to lead this Grand Canyon of projects, we would hope for the president to choose one of the best capital allocators on the planet. Better if that human is also one who can leverage AI and technical talent to manage the massive complexity.

Anyone who has lived through a ZBB at the corporate level will tell you that it’s hell and everyone hates it. This is why I feel really bad for federal workers -- I have a lot of empathy for civil servants and people doing a great job every day for the United States. No doubt, the uncertainty is trying and stressful for many. It's an unfortunate situation.

So, that's my take. I don't want to speak beyond what I know and can observe from the other side of the country. I've worked both in the private sector and the public sector -- the cultures are different. And an Elon-Musk-style culture is going to be the most hard core of them all. No doubt, it's jarring. It's gonna be a lot.

But what I also know is that every time I have ever doubted Elon, I ended up being the one who was wrong.

[Jon @jon44618]

@MiningRabid It’s insane. Hopefully it doesn’t distract from the real issue and turn into a SBF situation. If I have to deal with another 4 years of TradFi I’m gonna lose it haha. Stocking up on the blue chip cryptos / holding and hoping for the best. BTC is the world reserve.

[Jon @jon44618]

@MiningRabid Apparently everyone is minting this so I guess I am too HAHA. It’s kinda sad that I have made more money messing around with KRC20 memes over hobby mining but it is what it is. I do believe in KAS so doing my best to assist in the network stress tests.

[Jon @jon44618]

@MiningRabid This is seems to be getting a ton of mints but it’s never going to mint fully. It’ll be the next Kastor. Lots of KRC20 tokens minting quickly today with transaction fees through the roof. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
