Another example of "Fediverse First".

Meaning, more and more conversations occurring on Mastodon that are not occurring on Twitter (or late in getting there).

The ongoing uncertainty around taproot activation is a feature, not a bug.

404 BTC ransom. We don't know if it was paid or not (my guess: it was), the apps are now back up.

It's not *exactly* "people couldn't start their cars because the manufacturer got hacked", but it's very close to that, which is so ridiculous.

Consider how much more pressure the company was under to fold to the attack, because they built business around centralized servers instead of actual customer ownership.

Visa CEO:

"We want to be in the middle of any movement of funds."

I bet you do. GFY.

The rest of the video is, IMO, him spinning their scramble to adapt to the technology that completely obsoletes his business as if he's enabling it.

Unsurprisingly, no plans to convert any of their reserves to Bitcoin. That says it all. He's not a believer, nor an enabler, simply a rent seeker at best, agent of the surveillance state at worst.

Can you even identify the medieval warm period or the little ice age on this chart ?

If not, go do your homework

RT murchandamus:

[1]: Last night, all txs with 8+ sat/vB got cleared, still leaving a queue 127 blocks deep.

[2]: The visualization of a default-sized mempool (last 30d) shows how often it overflowed. On Thursday it had even started dropping txs in the 4-5 sat/vB band.

This is your annual reminder that St Valentine was executed for performing marriages the State didn't approve of.

More Mises and less Taleb.

(Not the twitter Taleb at least - books still good)

"There are in this world no such things as stability and security and no human endeavors are powerful enough to bring them about." - Ludwig von Mises

Basically, Mises knew that "price stability" simps are carrying the ideological water for anti-market inflationist crooks.

Mozilla implying that the open Internet is bad because it might be a haven for "illegal speech"? This has gone completely OFF THE RAILS, and I want nothing to do with Mozilla ever again!

This no longer has the effect you think it does @Twitter, @Jack.

Frankly, this is just nail in your own coffin.

So what if... the richest people in society get to decide what the history of society is, and we pay them to do it? Sound good? Who's in? Anyone...?

we have the tools to defeat twitter, but we can't because everybody refuses to stop using it. the tiny piece of their soul that wants to amass followers and become meaningful and important still leads them back there. it's really no different from internet porn or gambling

Getting started on Mastodon after a long time lurking on Bitcoin Twitter under assorted nyms.

Given Twitter's penchant for censorship, I don't believe Bitcoiners can continue to use the service in good conscience.

The Bitcoin community is leading the way on sound money. As it captures supporters from all walks of life, it will soon lead the way on "sound" social networks.
