Evolution has favored puberty, a developmental phase in which some people show random behavior. The ongoing experiment is to establish whether this has positive outcomes also for entire countries.

We will recognize the great people by their ability to change their mind: "I was wrong about Bitcoin for all these years. Where can I buy some". Whoever you are, you'll be welcome here.

Pure virtue signalling. The timing of this theft and the heroic rescue of funds is too convenient. Look how responsible we are. Had those USDt been Bitcoin you'd be left with nothing. QED.

It's funny how ETH boys are indirectly shilling their coin to Wall Street. Classic XRP play. But it is probably also smart and one of the few thing they still got going for them now that the ESG-supported low-energy argument died. It feels like the 2015 "bitcoin bad blockchain good" fallacy all over again. Nobody in the FIAT world can afford to think long-term anymore because there is no long-term for FIAT. So its all down toplaying the chicken game.

I struggled with proxying incoming requests via nginx, especially with the xftp server bit. I have it working now 🤙.

I am a fan of #Proxmox, but I think I headed into HA clusters naively. Based on what I know today, if your container or VM runs anything with time-critical data (such as a lightning node, databases in general, or complex Docker hosts), then automatic migration can be detrimental. On several occasions, I was happy to have a Proxmox Backup Server to fall back on. So, before configuring HA, shutdown, backup, start, test, and evaluate.

If you are selling products or services for #Bitcoin using Lightning and need inbound liquidity, DM me. Let me know how much liquid would be ideal, and I'll be happy to review and open a channel accordingly. #noderunner #circular #economy #payment #adoption

Agreed. I use it a lot. At the bare minimum (for people who don't like to link stuff up), it's one of the best markdown editors I know. Just avoid mixing with SublimeText, as it will mess up the hyperlinks.

Coming back to this book ... which is an unexpected positive surprise for me. In the 1980s and early 1990s, I spent ten years studying biology and associated research technologies. Plants, animals, biochemistry, human physiology, spectrometry, microscopy, immunology, with a focus on cellular and molecular biology. Still, reading Nick Lane's book introduces me to essential concepts I have never heard before. And all of a sudden, I start to understand the struggles of a boomer economist in grasping the value proposition of Bitcoin. Firstly, the problems that Bitcoin solves were less prominent then, and secondly, the 80s are eons ago.
