#Chia is too scary to acknowledge.
Imagine the seismic shift once the market internalizes that #Bitcoin is NOT the most decentralized cryptocurrency anymore.
People have a natural tendency to favor preserving the status-quo over drastic changes coming with unpredictable effects.
A few months ago I thought Iโd start building my own blockchain explorer for Chia. I never really had time for anything substantial between the demand from work and family life but of course, AI helped fill the small gaps for something fun. Here is the current iteration of Saffron Explorer.
Unfortunately, about 2 months ago I injured myself and am recovering from a large disc herniation so unable to push out new features atm (much pain, too ouch).
I have some good idea about the direction Iโd like to take it in, so hopefully I can get back (pun intended) on it soon.
Of course, do not use this for anything critical, itโs likely to contain bugs and inaccuracies.

Okay, this is seriously cool. A Linux kernel that fills up your free space with plots in the background and it automatically frees up space when you need it.

[1/8] I wanted to share a personal update.
After 8 incerdible years, I have decided to depart from @Lemniscap. When I started Lemniscap with my partner towards the end of 2017, crypto was a fringe experiment.
For many years, donations from the Chia community have helped keep SpaceScan running and growing. ๐
Today, weโre once again in need of community support. Even small donations help us continue operating the explorer, maintaining infrastructure, and building new features for everyone.
We truly appreciate all the love and support this community has shown over the years.

@KyleSamani@AviFelman You never really believed in it.
You were one of the biggest backers of EOS.
You and your fund rode the hype and extracted from the space without care or understanding for what makes crypto crypto.
๐ฎ Our crystal ball is lookingโฆ very green. Nothing confirmed. Nothing promised. Just a strong feeling that reading This Week In Chia now will age extremely well. ๐ฑโจ
Last week's Weekly Donation was to @spacescan_io the go-to Chia blockchain explorer! Dive into real-time XCH data, detailed charts, CAT & NFT explorers, powerful tools, API access, Offer file support, and more. A true pillar of the community!

This is probably my most important post.
The FED stole your future and there is no going back
"The system is rigged. The deep state does not want us to be free. The American dream is dead."
Statements like these conjure images of deep pessimism, a worldview where you have no agency, where you are merely a puppet dancing for malignant powers you cannot see or touch. We are not people who live in that camp. But sometimes, certain data points are so damning that they leave us no choice but to admit: something is seriously wrong, and it needs to be laid out in the open.
Every time I visit India now, I find people agitated. Even those in the top 10% of the income bracket, earning anywhere from โน50 lakhs to a crore per year, feel like they are running on a treadmill that keeps accelerating. No matter how fast they move, it is never enough. At the ground level, the situation is far worse. It is the same story everywhere. In Canada, both partners in a household work full time and still fall short each month. In Australia, young professionals earn well and own nothing. In Germany, the middle class quietly shrinks. The geography changes. The exhaustion does not.
And the origins of this mess are not in New Delhi or Ottawa or Berlin. They are in Washington D.C. All of us are paying the price for a policy disaster handed down from ivory towers, by people most of us never elected and, frankly, never even saw.
Consider this: the U.S. money supply (M2) grew by 40% in just 2 years
*The Federal Reserve United States Money Supply M2*
January 1, 2020: $15.4 trillion
January 1, 2022: $21.6 trillion
A staggering ~40% increase
As of Mar-26, $ 22.6 Tn
( so they never reversed the increased money supply although Covid got over)
Unprecedented in the history of the Federal Reserve post-World War 2 era. (Source: FRED) This massive injection of liquidity created asset bubbles across the economy. Wages stayed stagnant. Those who owned capital benefited enormously. Everyone else got the inflation.
Most people have not yet identified the cause of their frustration, but they have begun to feel its effects viscerally. And that feeling, that the system simply cannot deliver on their aspirations, has become the quiet tailwind driving a very dangerous behavioural shift.
The more people sense that conventional paths are closed off, the more they reach for asymmetric bets, even knowing the odds are stacked heavily against them. The explosion of betting apps and prediction markets, Kalshi, Polymarket, Dream11 and their many cousins, are not trends. They are symptoms of a broken economy. The feverish rise in F&O trading and the massive uptick in exchange volumes are different expressions of the same underlying truth: when people stop trusting the system to reward honest effort, they start gambling on outcomes instead.
@redgreenbl35768@BullTheoryio Private sales of course. The whole point was to take the assets for themselves/their family and friends.
The relationship between S&C and the buyers needs to be investigated, especially the Anthropic sale. You just know they're going to get kickbacks from this.
@intangiblecoins@CryptoKaleo@DeFi_Dad FTX customers still haven't even got the discounted dollar value of their claims. This stake alone could have made them whole in kind
Instead it was given to S&C friends and family, who, let's remember, were involved in FTX *while it was still running* (> complicit in the fraud)

@PoonBerry01@axldefi@loshmi S&C is not the government. It's a private entity that exploited the bankruptcy framework provided by the US gov, to appropriate customer assets for themselves and their friends & family. Important distinction.

@phillyphella@123_IGA_Blazing@MinisterFat@WhiteHouse I don't think anyone should be neutral about this either. However, outrage and binary thinking have been weaponized in the US to dumb down and ultimately discourage discourse, increase division, and neutralize coordination between people against their oppressive ruling cast.
@123_IGA_Blazing@phillyphella@MinisterFat@WhiteHouse False dichotomy. The system you have now is not democracy, it's a republic where the choice of ruler is done democratically. But you still basically only can chose between two rulers.
The majority opinion is to not go to war, yet the regime still went. How is that democracy?
