Because the currency is minted at the Fed, whereas the debt is issued by the Treasury. The Treasury cannot print dollars, and the Fed cannot give dollars directly to the Treasury. Therefore the Treasury’s only recourse when faced with a deficit is to issue debt, some of which the Fed might choose to purchase with freshly printed dollars.

If you own a ps5 and intend on digitally ordering... I highly advise against that.

Buy a physical copy as that will be available. But make sure you preorder or you might be really disappointed when the store is sold out of all 10 copies for your entire city :( If you own a ps5 slim or pro then you can buy one of these (sony made) to play the game on physical.

"What would Bitcoin be without pizza? Well, it'd be just an experiment like this."
#nevent1q…89yg
These people need to be stopped
Once upon a time I wrote this random pizza generator that listens to #bitcoin transactions and uses txn hashes for entropy. I don't know if it still works, but it could probably be easily modified to listen to local node zmq instead of blockchain-info's websocket.

Bond slashing. First-to-lock. Solver-directed disputes. Mostro v0.17.4 is doing the technical work most P2P projects skip. No middlemen. No KYC. Worth watching.

Nostr driving to the one pizza shop on the other side of town that accepts Bitcoin before it closes in 25 minutes.

I just wanted to play Minecraft. Fuck.
They have such weird takes on their FAQ that I might as well stay using lightspark.
I’m still hyped for clink on zeus though.
And now they're using their surveillance technology to automatically enroll every male. We're in a race against time to defund this madness.
I was telling about ledger, and hardware wallets but I didn’t really understand it at the time but then you did a bunch of Bitcoin research then you told me about Cake Wallet, and Monero the next day after.

Since companies can’t legally discriminate, they found methods where they can legally discriminate.
It’s not an iq test, it’s an aptitude, and job compatibility test.
Funnily enough, I also got one of those for my entry level blue collar job, and I got hired insta, no interview, etc.
They said here’s a job, and this is when you start.
Bro, I literally orange seeded you.
We’re 2021 but in the good way.

It does get a bit raucous sometimes 😅🫂
If you want to import your Nostr Bitcoin address into a wallet, here's some python to make it easy. YMMV, no warranty, GFY, etc.

That's because they suck at it.
Instructions unclear. Now looking at pictures of chickens on Instagram.

📰 **In this week's issue:**
🗞️ **BREAKING**
Bitcoin Core Fractures As Luke Dashjr Warns that If RDTS Fails, Bitcoin Is Over, and A Soft Fork Threatens Legal Action
The people who build Bitcoin are at each other throats. One of the longest serving developers on the network just told the world that Bitcoin survival depends on a proposal that other Bitcoin developers are calling an outright attack on the protocol. And buried inside that proposal is language suggesting you could face legal or moral consequences for rejecting it. This is not a drill. This is the most significant governance crisis Bitcoin has faced since the Blocksize War of 2017, and it is unfolding right now
