Doesn't really matter how any of us feel about it... it's happening.
That said, companies doing it like BlackRock and the other tradfis will be very unlikely to do it on Bitcoin. They will want to leverage the technology while maintaining control so they'll likely use permissioned chains. This will allow them to drop fees in their smart contracts if they do allow "peer to peer" trading.

One caveat here, it looks like this miner took the cheap route with regards to any sound dampening. Found some social media posts from residents complaining about the noise.
It's on these miners to be good stewards of the local communities they are operating in. Had they done that, it may have gone differently.

It is insane how far off the deep end Reddit has gone. Even topical subreddits related to travel, games, or other non-political subject matter are overran with people shoving sexuality or some other personal ideology bullshit at you.
I'm fiscally conservative but socially liberal. I want you to be you and live your life to the fullest... but I don't need to hear about trans rights when I'm just looking for BBQ joint recommendations in Dallas.

Yeah, I responded to a thread on Reddit this morning about the news that RT is allegedly paying right-wing influencers. The comments were basically one sided so I asked if they had the same vitriol with the Harris campaign paying social media folks like Harry Sisson.
Basically got scolded saying it's different because it was a foreign power, that I was ignorant because I was a Trumper, etc. The fact that both sides only things the shit happens on the other side of the aisle is just wild.

If you're considering other places, there are probably quite a few areas in Nevada that foot the bill. Other benefit is no state income tax, no corporate income tax and no taxes on corporate shares.
There are a ton of small cities in different climates, too. You can go from dry desert in Vegas to mountain climate in Mount Charleston in 30 minutes, for example.

In today's #privacy (or lack thereof) news:
"A new report from 404 Media that cites documents leaked to its reporters reveals "Active Listening" #software that, unsurprisingly, uses a form of artificial intelligence to "capture real-time intent data by listening to our conversations". The leaked documents cite a pitch deck from Cox Media Group (CMG), a TV and radio giant that is one of Facebook's alleged marketing partners."
I think we've all known this has been happening. It was way too common for me to talk to someone about something and then start seeing targeted advertising knowing I never did any sort of cursory web searching on the topic.

I will argue this until I'm blue in the face, but giving the average person "The Bitcoin Standard" out of the gate is a sure fire way to make sure their eyes glaze over and they quickly move on.
People need gentle nudges and encouragement. They need small, digestible topics they can quickly sit with. I usually offer "The Little Bitcoin Book" or "Magic Internet Money" as the starter book for people. If they are liberal, I'll point them to "The Progressives Case for Bitcoin." If I know they have a good economics foundation, I now prefer "Broken Money" and then Saif's Bitcoin/Fiat Standards.

I don't think China wants to have to defend being the reserve currency in the slightest. I would love to be a fly on the wall in that meeting and see if #Bitcoin gets mentioned. Now that they have like 40 other countries wanting in BRICS, there is only one trustless currency that fits the bill because with each new variable, you add significantly more complexity.

It sounds like someone or group rubbed him the wrong way at the conference. That's unfortunate. However, he took a hammer to the topic versus grabbing a scalpel and addressing it with a little more tact.
"Literally any group of people could have gotten nostr off the ground."
Yet Bitcoiners did. Bitcoiners are the group that donated to OpenSats and other organizations that take donations to give grants. I'm one of them.
Again, the bottom line is his outburst has likely turned off some people like myself. I've suggested Damus for months now to folks looking for nostr clients at my local Bitcoin meetups. I will no longer do so. I've made some donations to nostr projects and seeing the folks that cosigned his message... that's going to stop, too.

Odd take. I think both candidates are shit, but there is plenty of evidence showing the Harris campaign is manufacturing media. If it isn't sticking, that is an indictment of their liberal base not questioning it.

That’s not the point really. Of course many of their funds will continue to do well — they are a walled garden with locked in participants. Not adding a BTC ETF cost them and shareholders billions in potential losses while now having to chase their competitors if they do come in.

Extrapolating that out, if demand remained consistent into the next epoch, they would wipe out an entire year of mining production in 15.6 days. Math: 450/day x 365 = 164,250 / 10,513 = 15.6.
Once Grayscale runs out of supply or levels off, this sumbitch should run wild.

2024-02-20 01:10:13

Did some #Bitcoin ETF math. In 26 trading days, they stacked 273,350 #BTC or 10,513.5/day. At the current epoch rate (900/day), that is 11.7 days of mining supply purchased. At the next epoch rate (450/day), that would be 23.4 days of mining supply purchased every day.
