It’s been magnificent to witness people seeing right through the AI corpos’ calls for govt regulation as an attempt to create a protectionist moat for themselves against the development of open source models Imagine if this is applied to all things including the services provided exclusively by the government

Adam Back has been tracking the journey of Bitcoin price’s 200 week Simple Moving Average since October 2024 when it crossed $40,000. It recently crossed $65,000. He thinks it is Bitcoin’s ‘floor price’. 200 week SMA is calculated by taking an average of Bitcoin’s price recorded at the close of each of the last 200 weeks. For Bitcoin markets, each week opens at 12:00 AM GMT on each Sunday. Link: https://x.com/adam3us/status/2099119687124615314

Seems to know exactly how to trigger the people who are easily triggered 😂 Cultural phenomenon

Would be nice if he makes an appearance on his show

I hope the idea that users don't care about unilateral exits is revisited and scrutinized heavily now. When things go bad and users are unable to access their funds, they'll leave once issues are fixed and never come back. If they don't care much about unilateral exits as a concept, they will care even less about the nuances of why they were not able to access or move their funds.

There can never be 'nuance', 'balance' or 'realistic thinking' when it comes to the subject of taxation. No ground can be yielded. Laffer curve fiscal conservative balance my ass. Fuck their solutions. Fuck their tradeoffs. Get rid of every single tax on income, sales, imports, exports, goods and services, property, capital gains, all of them. Abolish them all.

Advocating for the abolition of legal tender laws, foreign exchange controls, capital gains taxes or any other taxes on the exchange or use of bitcoin is a top legislative priority if the goal is to get bitcoin adopted as a widely accepted monetary good

'Saleability' also means liquidity. More liquidity for bitcoin against every single currency and asset that exists would be great for improving its saleability. This means P2P exchanges, centralized exchanges, decentralised exchanges, OTC desks, shitcoin chains, banking apps, stock exchanges, derivative exchanges, forex exchanges and every conceivable exchange or trading platform supporting and enabling trades between bitcoin and anything that can be traded.

Nope
