Everything—and I mean EVERYTHING—that isn’t backstopped by Bitcoin either is or will be a scam.

@SawyerMerritt That popup is the worse feature they’ve ever delivered. I no longer look at it to dismiss it.

Stateside, a gas station. I drank a frozen blue beverage too quickly, and was struck down by a punishment this entire nation knows, and accepts, and has named.

The drink is called a slush. Ice, sweetness, and a blue that does not occur in nature. The day was hot. I was thirsty. I drank like a soldier at a river.

The pain arrived in my skull like a war horn.

Behind the eyes. Above everything. Total. I gripped the roof of my car. I may have made a sound.

"Brain freeze," said the cashier through the door, with no urgency whatsoever.

It has a NAME. The affliction is so common it has a household name, like a cousin.

"Tongue on the roof of your mouth," called a man at the pumps. He did not look over. He prescribed the remedy mid-pump, casually, the way one mentions weather.

I pressed my tongue to the roof of my mouth. The war horn faded. The healer nodded at his pump, finished, and was gone in a Chevrolet.

In my land, punishment follows crime by way of courts and seasons. Here, the sentence is instant. Drink with greed, and the ice strikes the mind directly. No trial. No appeal. Perfectly fair.

And here is what moves me. EVERYONE has felt it. The cashier. The healer. Children. Elders. An entire nation united by the same small lightning, all taught the same cure, all passing it on to strangers at gas stations, free of charge.

You cannot fully distrust a country once you know it shares one pain.

The freeze does not punish thirst. It punishes haste.

I finished the slush slowly, like a scholar. Blue tongue. Clear mind.

Then at the door I forgot everything, drank deeply, and was struck down again.

"Tongue, hon," said the cashier, without looking up.

Discipline is a journey.

@benthompson Makes me think brands are just equity accounts held by users. Usually there are enough deposits to ensure loyalty. But a brand withdrawal like this empties the account forever.

65 million years ago, something fell from the sky and wiped out the dinosaurs.

What if the asteroid wasn't an asteroid?

What if it was a spaceship and we're the aliens?

Update: Bitcoin bounced out of oversold, rallying against Gold.

Every time this has happened in Bitcoin's history, it was the start of a 2+ year bull market.

Great question.

How are you going to give universal high income if there are only 21 million bitcoin and you can't print money🤔there's a fundamental misunderstanding of both value and money here.

BTC Aaron has passed away. He's survived by his wife and three children. Please join me in praying for him and his family.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

South Africa won’t allow Starlink to be licensed, even though I was BORN THERE, simply because I am not Black!

We were offered many times the opportunity to bribe our way to a license by pretending that a Black guy runs Starlink SA, but I have refused to do so on principle.

Racism should not be rewarded no matter to which race it is applied.

Shame on the racist politicians in South Africa. They should be shown no respect whatsoever anywhere in the world and shunned for being unashamedly RACISTS!

A day in the life of Bitcoin’s 17th year:

✅ $1.4 trillion, 90-year-old firm releases new BTC product

✅ Energy exporter demands payment in BTC

✅ NYT still can’t figure out who Satoshi is

✅ Fortune 500 company rolling out BTC payments for 4M merchants

How we doing fam?

This actually hit hard.

@asymco Hardware moves? Yes. Software moves? No. They've publicly failed to deliver Apple Intelligence. In sporting terms, gotta be good to be lucky. Their hardware is good enough to carry their software . . . for now.

I’m watching https://t.co/oXzelJZDNk like it’s the COVID case tracker in April 2020 thinking “no one understands what is happening.”

Everyone is distracted by ai and missing the real singularity.

@JeffGreenlee18 @RoaringRagnar Exchange rate is the correct term. We've been here before, every four years. And then sentiment changes. And then we win. Again.

I have been a citizen of two countries of the British Commonwealth as I grew up (Sri Lanka and Canada) before I emigrated to America 26 years ago.

I used to look up to Britain. I admired their institutions. Mostly, I was deeply proud of their heritage and customs.

But their current course and speed will lead to collapse and demise.

How has a country so historically great become so self-loathing?

How did the “Empire on which the sun never sets” become this broken and backwards?

There are many dark lessons to be learned here about the ravages of rampant immigration, guilt, censorship and national decay.
