Simon Dixon says it is because Alladin, blackrock's investment tool, tells everyone to pump the AI IPOs. So BTC and gold outflows.

I'd be very surprised if it drops below 58k. It would be the first time the support line of the power law is crossed.

Points 1,2 and 4 are not binaries and contradict the fith. Now I'll go and ponder why that bugs me :D

With the threshold so close to 50% though there is a risk of a fork and eventual loss of funds for everyone on the losing side of the fork?

That makes sense!

Oh ffs you made me go research it a bit 😄 Fair enough in this case temporariness is guaranteed and enforceable, which counters my kneejerk reaction. Reducing the level of consensus required sounds dodgy though? Plus some are saying it will not actually stop spam, it will just make it adapt. From what I know about spam that sounds about right... which doesn't mean we should not fight it. I am curious what you have to say, for sure.

I should say I'm confused, but when I hear any proposed action advertised as "temporary" I immediately distrust it :shrug:

One to watch for sure!

The EU's terms for negotiating with Russia on Ukraine include agreeing to pay damages, abolishing the foreign agents law and limiting the size of the Russian military. Translated, this means they want Russia to widely open itself for economic, propaganda and military attacks. They are suicidal terms, which one only demands if they are intent on destruction and not really looking to talk. If you are in the EU, beware of the time when the likes of Ursula will ask you to die for them. Russia is not the aggressor here, it just tries to defend it's positions and a strategic balance. I accept Simon Dixon's view that it's all likely stage managed but am worried about the short term pain that an EU/ Russia war will cause. A war that will not start if Europeans refuse to fight it. A war which the Epstein class wants so they can introduce a lot more dystopia. I'm not saying that Putin/Russia are the good guys, I'm pointing out war propaganda when I see it in an effort to avoid more war. https://www.rt.com/russia/641806-lavrov-censored-politico-article/

There's legitimate and sensible self-defense and there's division propaganda. The people that will do evil are never of a single color or religion. The only exception I know is you rarely if ever see any good come out of the Epstein class. If you're fighting plebs different than yourself you are not fighting them. The best way to fight them is to disengage from the system and build a parallel, better one.

I receive so much Ledger related phishing email that I had to create a rule to move to junk anything that mentions Ledger 🤷‍♂️

I will not be able to say anything accurate about any politician 😁 On a more serous note, I can easily get on board with the first sentence, but "Don’t let anything negative come out of your mouth regarding anything external." sounds like you are asking to deny the existence of a large chunk of reality. An extreme example: a girl gets raped and she is supposed to either not talk about it or frame it in a positive way? There will be numerous less extreme examples from every day life where it makes sense to acknowledge and talk about negative things so we can overcome them.

AI's main goal is to control you. The Epstein class has a lot to gain from everyone greatly overestimating what LLMs can do, attributing them with intelligence they don't have and allowing them to make decisions for us. That is what's needed for the technocracy they want to be created. LLMs are a tool too, and if you self-host the models a very useful and good tool. But the large datacenters are not built to be useful to us, they are built to enable mass surveillance and control on an unprecedented scale.
