Holy shit guys

A recap of the last eight months of Bitcoin Core: ⚠️ 30 blew OP_RETURN open, 80b to 100KB. "Ethereum on Bitcoin." ❌ 30 and 30.1 could delete every wallet on the node during migration. 😱 31 reveals your IP to peers. Core is reduced to spam relay, deletion and doxxing. #BIP110

It was the careful and logical way of breaking things down that caused me to pay attention to Mechanic in the first place. And over time his points have continued to resonate Whereas the Core side is sounding worse and worse by the day.

Bitcoin is money today. Being money doesn't mean you have to spend it on goods and services, the dollar still exists. If you sell your bitcoin for fiat, bitcoin is still money. You can't turn something into what it already is by distortive language. Tax policy also doesn't dictate what is or isn't. You don't need a law to define what bitcoin is or isn't. The law doesn't change the fundamental nature of the good. They are just creating distortive narratives to sell stock.

My Parents’ (Age 69 and 72) Strategy to NOT Fall in Line With American Lower Back Stats I’ve been coaching them for almost a decade, and these 3 solutions have been the most effective and REALISTIC. If I’m not responsible, who is? Here’s how I got them started…

After my first child was born the pediatrician came in to educate us on vaccines Immediately he brings up heavy metals: "Are you worried about the aluminum in vaccines? Because you should know your baby gets more aluminum from breast milk than they do from a vaccine" I didn't argue, but I did do my research A single vaccine contains between 0.125-0.85mg of aluminum In comparison breast milk contains between 0.01-0.05mg of aluminum per liter (34oz or about 4 cups), and infants drink between 16-32oz of breast milk per day So if we assume the lowest intake of milk and lowest aluminum level in that milk it would take about 25 days to reach the same 0.125mg in some vaccines If we assume the highest content in breast milk and that the baby drinks a full 32oz per day it takes more like 3-17 days to reach the level in a single dose of a vaccine (0.125-0.85) Sounds logical, right? The problem is the pediatrician was completely ignoring an important point, BIOAVAILABILITY Aluminum from breast milk has less than a 1% bioavailability, meanwhile the bioavailability of aluminum in vaccines approaches 100% absorption This means we need to take the number above and multiply it by 100x, it would take a year of 1 liter daily breast milk to even surpass the lowest aluminum content in vaccines, and with the current schedule MULTIPLE are stacked together in the first few days of life This is the kind of thing that frustrates me endlessly, I believe people should weigh risk/benefit and choose what they believe is best for their child, but twisting the facts to give a blatantly false impression ("you're giving your child more aluminum than a vaccine") is pure fear based manipulation There are examples of this being done to women and parents every single day in the medical system

To keep kids off a platform, you have to check everyone's age. Checking age means checking ID. Which means proving who you are to use the internet adults included. The children are the wedge. You're the target. "Protect the children" is the most reliable key ever cut for opening a door the public would slam shut if you asked directly. Watch the door. Not the kids.

Time... It’s the only currency you spend without ever knowing your remaining balance. Use it wisely.

Whatever happens in your life, take responsibility Never whine, never complain, never try to justify yourself If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude A positive attitude is a person’s passport to a better tomorrow.

So it was all just about a shitcoin ICO. Shocking. I'm in disbelief. Who could have said! Take note of all the people promoting this blatant scam in any way, for your future credibility score.

This is so fucking embarrassing. Bitcoin is a 1.6T USD asset. While the entire world is sending their best experts in cryptography and quantum physicists to debate the dangers of quantum computers, we're forced to listen to a purified influencer pleb slop gobbledygook. These people sound like they're at the verge of psychosis. I'd rather listen to a new age hippie high on DMT and it would make more sense than this.

Iraq is California’s top source of foreign oil since 2022. Have you ever seen how oil is produced in Iraq? It is NASTY! After it’s produced with the most methane intensity in the world, it’s shipped on tankers thousands of miles to CA ports. Unabated & uncontrolled emissions.

Sunlight was once such a frontline medical treatment that many hospitals had a sundeck or balconies like these where patients could soak up the sun. Sunlight was prescribed for tuberculosis, rickets, anthrax, infectious diseases and chronic illness. Corporate medicine no longer talks about this because it can’t make money on something people can get for free.

⚡️Most people are about to get priced out of “being average.” The economic deal just changed. For 150 years, capitalism paid you for time plus competence. Now it pays you for leverage plus judgment. AI turns competence into a commodity. Time becomes worthless when a machine can do it endlessly. So what happens. 1. The middle gets hollowed Entry level white collar shrinks first. Then the mid layer that exists to coordinate other humans. The top stays. The bottom stays. The center gets thinner every quarter. 2. The winners are not “smart” They are owners of distribution, owners of systems, owners of decision rights. They ship. They sell. They steer. They do not ask permission to exist. 3. The losers are not “lazy” They are trapped in roles whose output can be copied, summarized, or automated. They become overhead. Overhead always gets cut. 4. There is no plan because the plan is politically impossible If leaders admitted the truth, they would own the panic. So they say reskilling. They say lifelong learning. They say innovation will create jobs. Some of that will happen. Not fast enough for the people it hits. 5. The real outcome is forced redistribution When enough people cannot pay rent, the system changes or breaks. So the state eventually steps in with transfers, subsidies, and constraints on automation. After the damage is already done. So what is the move for a normal person? You stop trying to be employable. You start trying to be unreplaceable. Unreplaceable looks like: A) you control a niche audience B) you control a workflow that makes money C) you can use AI to do the work of ten people D) you are attached to revenue, not reporting E) you have low burn and high liquidity If you have none of that, the future feels like a slow suffocation. More stress. Less leverage. More competition for fewer stable slots. More coping narratives.

"In an abundance of caution we are going to increase datacarriersize by 1250x. It shouldn't matter much because no one is going to use it, but it removes a mal-incentive that theoretically leads to centralization of mining or worse fee estimation" "If you do that you are going to start a civil war." "Meh, who cares."

“So then, the (21M) cap is irrelevant when Jane Street can fabricate unlimited synthetic supply through undisclosed derivatives stacked on top of its own ETF inventory.” Now we know the answer to the price mystery. And color me not surprised. Paper bitcoin…

⚡️This is the moment the dam actually cracks. Chat was a toy. Scheduled tasks is a labor primitive. When a model can do work on a schedule, inside your tools, without you asking, it stops being “help.” It becomes the cheapest employee on earth. And the honest part is ugly. Most white collar work is recurring coordination. Weekly decks. Status updates. Reconciliations. Ticket grooming. Inbox triage. Reporting. Notes. Summaries. Follow ups. That is a huge percentage of payroll disguised as “knowledge work.” This feature is replacing the heartbeat of office labor. Here is what happens next. 1. Teams stop hiring juniors Entry level roles exist to absorb grunt work and learn. If the grunt work is automated, the learning ladder collapses. You get a smaller funnel, fewer promotions, more gatekeeping, higher anxiety. 2. Middle management gets ruthless If they can ship the same output with 30 percent fewer heads, they do it. They get rewarded for efficiency. They do not get rewarded for protecting your job. 3. Work becomes a control problem The new premium is not producing the thing. The new premium is owning the system that produces the thing. Permissions, checks, exception handling, accountability, audit trails. The winner is the person who signs the work, not the person who drafts it. 4. The market bifurcates A small group becomes “AI operators” and their output per person explodes. A larger group becomes replaceable because their tasks can be parameterized. 5. The platform war shifts Every SaaS becomes a battlefield over agent access. Who has the integrations wins. Who has the best governance wins. Who can prove compliance wins enterprise. The truth behind all of this. The economy is about to learn what abundance feels like for cognition. When cognition becomes abundant, wages fall for anything that looks like cognition without ownership. People keep asking if AI will take jobs. The real answer is that AI turns jobs into margins. Margins get competed away. So what is left. People who own distribution. People who own capital. People who own the decision loop. People who can take responsibility when something breaks. If your role is “I deliver the weekly output,” you get squeezed. If your role is “I decide what the weekly output should be, why it matters, and what we do next,” you get elevated. That is the real shift. Not smarter. Not faster. Autonomous.

NORWEGIAN PRIME MINISTER TRIES TO KILL HIMSELF AFTER BEING ARRESTED OVER EPSTEIN LINKS: “The charge was brought after the Council of Europe lifted Jagland’s immunity, which he enjoyed because of his past diplomatic role. Emails released by the U.S. government are thought to show that Jagland planned solo and family visits to Epstein’s home in Paris, New York and Palm Beach, after the billionaire was convicted of a child sex offence. As well as serving as prime minister from 1996 to 1997, Jagland is also former head of the Norwegian Nobel Committee. Now, that is an important point piece of information considering what President Trump subsequently revealed about the way that the Nobel Prize was awarded. So we’re just going to show you that one more time and read it again. As you can see there, the bold line near the bottom of the paragraph. ‘Jaglan is also a former head of the Norwegian Nobel Committee and spent a decade as Secretary General of the Council of Europe’. With all this going on in Norway, we said, consider again Trump’s recent letter to the Norwegian Prime Minister stating his complaint about Norway having unfairly blocked him from receiving a Nobel Prize. There’s Trump’s letter. And then we’ve said couple this Norway news with the below revelation about Epstein, Norway and the Nobel Peace Prize. And in retrospect, Trump doesn’t seem quite so crazy anymore now, does he? And that’s because on your screens, you can see an email. Again, Zero Hedge: ‘the man who shockingly awarded the newly elected Barack Obama the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, and who was chair of the Nobel Committee from 2009 to 2015, was an Epstein Ireland regular’. That is the Norwegian prime minister who’s now been charged and is rumoured to have subsequently attempted to take his own life. President Trump was correct again in singling out Norway and saying that they were corrupt. And it’s all now being revealed.” Maajid Nawaz for the WARRIOR CREED livestream

A man who was on the WHO panel that concluded in 2015 that red meat is likely carcinogenic, says it never should've happened. They examined 800 studies. Only 18 of them made the final cut and a paltry 9 of those showed an associational risk. 791 studies out of 800 red meat studies did not show a worthy association between cancer and red meat.
