Like.. a headband?

I'd hope those currently toeing the line but know deep down we're at the point of ludicrous egregiousness would shoot their shot, if given the opportunity. I'd like to believe at least 20% of elected Republicans lack brain damage.

They look for carbon 14 isotope spikes in ancient tree rings, and compare to beryllium 10 and chlorine 36 in ice cores

We've developed a fairly decent record of events back to 14,000 years ago

Look up 'Miyake events'

My kids call our winix purifiers "fart detectors"

Yeah the same sentiment was shared in 2014, 2018 and now 2022. History doesn't repeat but it rhymes.

Can't wait for 2025 for the next round of bullshit expansion. You can celebrate again in 2026 during the "collapse"

If you have your seed someone on the other side of the planet will have an intact Blockchain.

Imagine what it would do to banking data and transfer/payment networks on the impact facing countries.

This recently happened with a Bitcoin wallet app called Cake wallet. They used time() in their random number generator which allowed the key generation to be replicated and funds stolen.

And it was approved by the TVA, so...there's that.

Yep..MS just had to send out a 'security update' to provide them with a few new vectors.

This is great have you considered writing a LinkedIn article about it?

It's not just a recent slew of articles - calls to ban and framing it as tools for criminals and terrorists has been repeated like a broken record for a decade now.

If I've been wrong since 2010 then I don't care and don't want to be 'right'

I see that as third party rent seeking behavior and a bit of a co-opting.

And that's fine, because the beauty of satoshi releasing it as open source spawned an entire ecosystem of ideas and implementations, so while his 'baby' may not be what he envisioned the basic idea and problems solved live on through evolution.

I've been around since I read about it on slashdot in 2009. Was one of the first online retailers accepting bitcoin for purchases (late 2010). And I completely agree.

Monero is the 'ideological' best cryptocurrency in my opinion, and I've hedged my bets across a handful of coins that I think at least offer something valuable to the future space.

Bitcoin has the first mover advantage and although bastardized into a 'gold like store of value' completely detached from its original use case I'd still want to own a decent amount because why fight momentum.

I agree with everything you say (wild west token scams, tether backing and sketchy accounting) but I think there is too much benefit at the core for one to disregard the entire space. The cream will rise to the top.

Last peak was pretty much 100% retail investors like your disc golf gang.

The amount of institutional investment this round offer legitimacy and absolute scale of potential that can't be overlooked by anyone that's been paying attention.

Honestly, for the amount of forward thinking technologists that call this nook of the internet home, there is a ridiculous blind spot for cryptocurrency. It's actually ridiculous to me that such forward thinkers could be such luddites.

Will it take another decade before you realize we're there - or if not yet, where this is going?

This isn't even close to what will be the all time high. I know HN has a significant aversion to cryptocurrency (which absolutely befuddles me for the foundational societal concepts it modernizes) but love it or hate it if you think this is close to the peak you've been in a cave the last decade.

*Edit: speaking about crypto as a whole not specifically doge coin. BTC and ETH first to market with digital solutions to antiquated economic problems. But I'm not joking when I say the cut of Musk's jib puts a significant non-zero chance that he announces Doge will be the official martian currency. PT Barnum or not, I wouldn't completely discard the idea.

This reeks of desperation. After 100,000+ one-star play store reviews in a day "we're so grateful for your support". Lol.

I don't trust that much verbosity

Are they after Musk and Bezos too? Come on.

Worse comes to worst he can afford to build his bat cave and hire his own henchmen. Assuming he can close his position deep in the money.

Those following might cry out against him when he does - but he's taught a lesson here and he will teach a lesson there. He was definitely in his wheelhouse developing creative financial education for his day job

I'm sure the average Robinhood investors volume is low enough that an Office Space penny fraction skimming scheme is a pretty meh thing.

But combined, it's sure is something.

The algorithm is body language and context

The arbitrary metric is relationship

Any misunderstanding beyond that is a failure of both parties.

GPS or not, offline maps are available. Digital Thomas Guide. Although, I do miss flipping through that and trying to memorize the directions while planning a route.

To me, MOOP = self reinforcing echo chamber.

The reverberations of the loudest (most magnified) permeate and shape ideology.

Hopefully the conductors get the frequency right for long term and long distance communication.

Think they're being shown the same ad I'm seeing for a Raspberry Pi 3B at the bottom of the article
