One of the things that I love about AI for someone who is a serial learner is that anytime I have a question or a curiosity I just simply ask.
While I may not be given the right answer every time, I at least have an answer that satisfies my curiosity. And then if I'm still interested I can dig in more and do some more research.
AI is really fucking cool.

Price controls on food was a huge problem in the past. I'm all for lower prices, but we have to let the market settle that on it's own, and begin accepting that lower prices requires deflation.
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/15/harris-corporate-price-gouging-ban-food-election.html
1. Ancient Rome - Emperor Diocletian's Edict on Maximum Prices led to severe shortages and black markets.
2. France (French Revolution) - The Law of the Maximum set price limits on food, leading to shortages and black markets.
3. Soviet Union - Price controls were a central feature of the planned economy, often leading to shortages and long lines for basic goods.
4. Zimbabwe - Price controls under the Mugabe regime led to severe shortages and a thriving black market.
5. Venezuela - Price controls have resulted in significant shortages of basic goods, with many items being available only on the black market
Why?
Shortages: When prices are set below the market equilibrium, demand often exceeds supply, leading to shortages.
Black Markets: Price controls often create black markets where goods are sold at higher prices.
Reduced Incentive to Produce: Producers may cut back on production if they can’t cover their costs, worsening shortages.
Quality Decline: In some cases, producers may lower the quality of goods to maintain profitability under price controls.

Seriously. I did a "dopamine detox", where I just unplugged from social media, watching BTC price, news, and just coded on a project for a few weeks.
Maintaining focus that first was was hard af. But it got better over time.
I'm more balanced these days, but the crazy part?
When I went back to peek at X, it was just....I don't know....too much. Too much in your face.
It felt "loud".

Does it happen to be lower back pain with spasms? Inability to basically stand up without trembling?
I just recovered from that and the fix was eye opening. I had a tight psoas muscle that was causing lower vertebrae issues.
A physical therapist fixed it in 5 minutes. Weeks of pain, years of sporadic sciatica fixed in 5 minutes.

Might be worth including some kind of tooltip or popup that explains why the price on the main chart doesn't match the price when you put in a buy order.
I know we can now do limits, and I understand spreads, but I think the average new Bitcoiner will just think Strike is hiding something.

I have a confession. I was killing it doing some leverage trading for a good while. This last dip rinsed me, but now I understand why.
I was neglecting my other projects. I needed a bitch slap ✋ to re-focus. Unfortunately, that means me losing some BTC, but it's a great learning lesson.
So back to building on my main business, and continuing my BTC treasury plan with it.
I do have this UI for my trading bot that I made. Not sure what to do with it!

💯 With nostr, you come when *your* ready. You don't have some algo trying to predict what you want, only to sell your metrics to some advertiser.
And what's worse? That the algos force feed fear to you. MSM has been on to this forever - they sell the fear.
It's the same reason why a happy news network doesn't exist.

Yup, never had any issues with Strike. The limit orders are so clutch. Going to set some orders up this weekend to catch these tasty dips.

2024-08-02 01:39:53 UTC

So MSTR introduced the term BTC Yield. I don't like it.
- It's not yield
From what I can tell, it's just saying that they plan to diluate MSTR shares by 4-8% annually to buy Bitcoin, which averages 55% over a 4 year period.
We knew this already, right? But why call it "yield"?
To lure in tradefi?

Core PPI (inflation indicator favored by the Fed) came in WAY under expectation (0.0% vs 0.4%), so 10 year yield tanking. 50/50 chance of a pause on the 22nd by the Fed.

So SVB keeps AUM under $250B to avoid being declared a systemic risk bank with additional oversights. Before the stock crashes and FDIC takes over, CEO sells over $3M in stock and pays out employee bonuses. Then today, Fed declares it a systemic risk bank anyway and bails them out full stop, even though Yellen said we won’t yesterday. 🤡
Yet again, play with fire, get too big, and you’ll be saved. Rewarding poor risk management. (SVB didn’t hedge interest rate volatility risk like everyone is supposed to do)

Would this be accurate?
When the US, as the reserve currency, raises rates (which increases the risk-free rate to hold money at the Fed), that causes sell-offs in other major bond markets (like the UK).
So the other market central banks are also forced to raise rates to protect their currency and prevent liquidity from exiting their bond markets.
