I literally just finished reading Mandibles, like, a minute ago

You can buy a flat in Riga, and sell it after you don’t need the visa anymore.

Was playing with my kids on an oceanic beach. One where it gets deep quickly and the waves are big. The parallels with markets are astounding. Playing the game where you need to get as close to the water, but get back with dry feet is like active trading. Exhausting. Also, the best way to keep your feet dry is to just not play. Long-term - pretty much everyone gets their feet wet at some point and loses. Can be played successfully though, but only if you’re super careful, and not really a super competitive person. But there’s more. Holding is like breaking through the break line and swimming beyond it. Much more peaceful. You just swim and bob up and down with the waves. Not struggling to stay up, not getting sandblasted on every wave. From the coast you look like a madman, especially when the bigger waves come. From your pov though you just bob up and down there and watch people getting rekt at the break line. Also, it takes some manning up, especially if the waves are big, and the water is deep beyond the break line. Crazy how two completely unrelated processes can have so many parallels just because the systems are both stochastic, and involve people interacting with them.

I do. Paper format, The Economist. Gives a reasonably good quality normie view on a wide array of things. It helps me not being pulled too deep into all kinds of echo chambers uncritically. Btw, also serves as a kind of a signal. If I read an article there talking about the crumbling fiat system and Bitcoin being the escape hatch - we’re not early anymore. Hasn’t happened yet.

If autism leads to Bitcoin, and vaccines lead to autism, more kids should get vaccinated.

Welcome, down under kids! This is not social media, and nobody needs to know you’re kids here!

The age old sell low, buy high strategy executed in a single trade?

Open platforms are like forests, closed like gardens. It takes much more time for a forest to grow naturally, but once it does, it subsumes every garden, because gardens need constant upkeep. Unless their permaculture gardens, but then Nostr is more like a permaculture garden than the normie garden.
