Some of you lack the dissociative skills needed to emotionally survive the apocalypse and it shows

@SethAbramson Transgenic mice. Idiots.

@NotHoodlum @al_prairie More concerning is that the mind needs sleep. Deep sleep but especially REM for emotional regulation. There’s a reason why sleep deprivation is used as torture, it induces psychosis.

I'm a huge fan of most Bloomberg content but this opinion article by @matt_levine is really bad. I respect most divergent opinions but it's written either as propaganda or from the perspective of someone who has never actually sent a bitcoin transaction.

For example:

"So if you send someone Bitcoin to pay for something, there will probably be a typo in the address and the person won’t get it and you’ll have to send it again and your first payment will just be permanently lost."

Usually you copy it, not type it. And there are checksums in a bitcoin transaction. It's pretty hard to mess up, kind of like IBAN. It's designed well. "Probably" implies the majority, whereas a true mess-up would be a tiny minority. This is neither journalism nor serious opinion.

And then I get to this line and have to double-check to make sure I'm not accidentally on The Onion:

"The third classic problem is that, if you are using Bitcoin to pay for goods and services, there is a good chance that you are paying for something illegal, and Bitcoin payments are traceable. So if you send someone $16,000 worth of Bitcoin to buy a $16,000 thing, (1) some of your money will go missing in transit, (2) the Bitcoins you send won’t be worth $16,000 and you’ll have to send some more, and (3) the $16,000 thing was a murder and now you are in prison."

He then went on to describe where someone hired a hitman for $8k and accidentally sent it to the wrong address and had to do it again. I mean... okay. Way to find the fringe idiot as though that's standard.

I had to double-check that this article wasn't from 2012, because it's a weird set of fringe-cases presented as normal.

It's like saying "You want to pay for something in cash dollars? They're covered in cocaine and you're likely paying for a mob hit. Let me tell you about this guy that..."

Bitcoin is just global open-source money. There are 160+ currency jurisdictions in the world and many of them rapidly dilute their peoples' money and censor their peoples' transactions. Bitcoin is an emerging alternative for them.

#Bitcoin stopped working TWICE in its history

1st in 2010

2nd in 2013

Here's what caused it to stop running and how it was fixed each time 👇

[Spike Stevens 丰 @spikestev]

@RookieXBT They all have this format. The Greek names came later. :)

[Spike Stevens 丰 @spikestev]

@danheld It's okay. There are plenty of times in history where we've debased our currency and the people have been cool with it. You just keep reducing the value of the money that the people hold, use that to build things and you can just keep doing that forever - the Roman Empire.

@peducelli @LilMoonLambo Bitcoin is the lifeboat, not the iceberg. Always has been.

[Spike Stevens 丰 @spikestev]

@clegfx Certainly something that we should discuss and debate, because lets face it - at some point we hard forked from reality and anything is possible at this point...

Happy birthday to the iconic #Bitcoin logo 🎂

11 years ago this week, an unknown artist created one of the best brand images of all-time and released it for free on a forum. The rest is history ✨
