Yep, I've never been to the country but as an onlooker there is always this subtle feeling that something is off.
Does anyone voluntarily use Microsoft 365 over Google Workspace?
This chart sheds light on why BTC hasn't caught up with M2. The expansion of global M2 is largely due to the expansion of Chinese credit (not QE) and hence not associated with an increase in Central Bank assets or necessarily an effect on markets like Bitcoin that are highly sensitive to liquidity nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzpujqhc4ksnu9ejq4vmeqsyux47qawsn74p39pj9au6m6s5qvwcd6qyt8wumn8ghj7cn9wehjumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcprpmhxue69uhkvctzd9skutnwdaehgu339e3k7mf0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uqzqrcv5xxc8v78rejxptd3dreuhjsnw37w8vfn3deeceq7qnt7wh87w99pv4
Grund: Expansion von M2 in China durch Bankkreditvergabe (ohne QE)

Reading Andrew Ross Sorkin’s “1929” about the Black Thursday and the ensuing Great Depression. Two striking observations about the gold standard at the time: 1) The massive bubble and eventual bist actually happened on a gold standard, in other words Bitcoiners’ assumption that hard money will simply fix everything may be too optimistic. Chat GPT’s thoughts on the reasons below 2) Despite 1), gold of course massively outperformed during the crash, resulting in FDR’s executive order to abolish private gold ownership. In that scenario Bitcoin ownership would arguably be far more difficult to abolish. Overall, it’s a very good read with a lot of echoes with today. Curious about any more thoughts and insights!

Interesting. Thank you! Curious what some of the strategies are that you have found to be the simplest for building a profitable routing note from scratch!

How can I see what groups are close to me before paying to sign up nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2aqqypnyupc0uf08dhwwlf2f98qdushv45ypqzf4ql3ymerzyp63ekm65u5nzvk ?

This may be an excellent time to buy Square stock. The stock seems poised to catch up with the other big Tech titles once it breaks out of that channel. Especially now that we have that Bitcoin backwind with a real opportunity to disintermediate Visa/Mastercard in the long term.

It’s not at all accessible to the average person. And even for the average Bitcoiner it’s not clear that the trade-offs make it an attractive choice.

Looks like Umbrel
Congrats!
Ok this may be true if in the future there is just going to be a fully automated and optimized way for channel management. But even in principle I think the economics of Lightning don’t really lend themselves to most people adopting it in a self-custodial way
or “The markets can remain irrational much longer than you can remain solvent”… nostr:nevent1qqs0n2j7c9w25fqw0e5a4fgfll6mthzg7e3p5cdjmrjyzqpan3cemdqpzemhxue69uhkvet9v3ejumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgd6dwe7
