I do this when I get stressed. Shoulders too. I have to consciously check in throughout the day (pretty much only when I'm working a shift at the hospital) to make sure I'm relaxing those areas. My new watch has actually been helping a lot. It's wildly accurate at picking up when Im stressed, usually before I even realize I'm getting stressed. Could be totally irrelevant for you but it's worth trying if you don't know what's causing the clenching (some people do it in their sleep)

The bots will have thots

You should hate that government. But I think the misconception sometimes is that no government would magically be better in every way and that all government must be bad.

Ha. I figured.

I don't personally find value in a combative approach when it comes to Monero. I don't view it as a shit coin, which perhaps would cause me to be combative depending on the situation. If someone I care about is getting scammed, I'll offer a warm warning. If people want to shit coin, go for it. If someone tries to force one onto me (or anything really), that's when I think it's worth being combative. Otherwise I just don't see the point. I much prefer discussing ideas rationally and reducing my ignorance where I can. Certainly no one is forcing Monero or Bitcoin, so I figure we should all use whatever we think is best.

I always forget to try code RHR 😂

The universe expansion is also accelerating. It isn't a set linear thing. We used to think it would remain the same and then slow, but observed the opposite. It isn't faster than the speed of light, but at some point wouldn't it make the calculations seem to contradict?

Fair enough. But I think you're overestimating Bitcoin branding as an adoption issue.

Every part of human life is manipulation, down to our very survival. It has a negative connotation, but it doesn't need to be bad. I think it becomes bad if you use it to try and take someone's agency from them. For example, saying you'll kill yourself if they don't come to your party even though you know it's a lie. Or you misrepresent some aspect of the matter to trick people into coming. Strategically inviting people to a party isn't bad on its own. This is a statesman vs a con man. How often do people form associations indiscriminately anyway? Of course you want a party attended by compatible people (to some degree), regardless of the desired outcome or purpose. I think this is a good idea, and I'd enjoy such an event. I wouldn't need or want to be paid. I wouldn't even go if I didn't have enough social capital with the person inviting me to trust their intentions.

Alp speculation. No one really knows either way.

I hope you all stacked your nuts off. I just hear Higher in the grocery store while grabbing beer and ingredients for apple pie. The bottom may be in.

I don't want to kill Bitcoin. And that probably would at this point. I don't really want to cause a lot of chaos. I'm meming. But enough of a burn to singe some nose hairs is healthy periodically.

Apparently not in the courts of social media.

My default assumption is that market volatility is due to a variety of things, because there are many people involved with many different motivations and approaches.
