Q to Strategy CEO Phong Le: Why did you sell [Bitcoin]? A: We sold because we wanted to inoculate the market. And we sold because we wanted to test our process. Q: And what did you learn from that? A: We learned that everything works, right? The question is, why does the sale of 32 Bitcoin get so much attention? Our institutional investors that we talk to don't seem unnerved by it. I think the unnerving is the retail community that has views on never selling your Bitcoin that are "crypto anarchist." And frankly, we have a lot more than just them as constituents. @PowerLunch @CNBC

Use of a computer for teaching is making a lot of people rich and a lot of students dum.

My wife is about at the end of her teaching career. She said that we need teachers back in front of the class with books and pencils. Too much dependency on laptops has cause lazy teaching. Most new teachers are on their phones while kids are on tablets.

Yes!!!

Horvath’s critique of classroom screens didn’t go viral by accident. It struck a nerve because it gives a scientific voice to the collective burnout parents and teachers feel fighting the screen battle.

The national trend is clear. Kentucky should respond with a common-sense, targeted policy: a cap on the amount of instructional time that students in elementary and middle grades can spend on screens in school: garyhouchens.substack.com/p/…
