Obviously, dog re-animation is not yet possible. If you can do it for a dog, you would 100% able to do it for a human (not much difference in basic biology there).
However, there is no principal impossibility of memory preservation in a frozen state.
Here is one experiment...please don't poo-poo little worms...they taught us a lot and, basically, show us they way to research on bigger organisms.

I really don't want to press the frozen body issue, but I have no doubt that it would be possible, eventually.
As an example, here is a vid of bats, apparently being frozen solid during our recent freeze and then re-animating.
I don't think that their "personality" was affected, but i cannot really ask

Same for the gekkos in my backyard...I noted the location of a "frozen" gekko...then warm temperatures came and it was gone back to regular "business" of eating ants and pill bugs.

But, as you said, education is a more immediate need.

Here is something I was pondering recently:

Let's say that in 10 years bitcoin would be very valuable and the WO long term members would age and would be at or contemplating either retirement or inheritance problems.
In my opinion, we should start preparing our next of kin on how to deal with forms of wealth, like bitcoin, with which most financial advisors are unfamiliar with.

M. Saylor makes an analogy between bitcoin and Manhattan's real estate.
What I am getting to is this: it seems silly to 'allow' your inheritors to convert inherited bitcoin to cash knowing that bitcoin is likely to be more valuable in the future.
Once the family 'loses' bitcoin, it is unlikely that they ever get it back.
Therefore, family education on bitcoin properties and understanding it's value will be very important going forward.

Additionally, there are two very well funded companies employing brilliant scientists (best money can fund) tasked with working on the "problem" of aging.
Apart from the "simple" life extension, Hal Finney, btw, flash-froze his body (or maybe just head, it is a bit cheaper).
Who knows, he might be coming back in 100-200 years.
While doing inheritance, maybe some ought to consider making similar arrangements and then have the legal mechanism in place to resume ownership (of at least part of the funds) if some re-animation would be possible in the future.

@jjg...when someone says that something is 1000 times better than the other "thing", it does not mean that the price has to be 1000 times higher, though.
Gold is at 12.7tril ($12.7X10¹²).
1000X is a nonsensical number of 12.7 quadrillion with total world's wealth at "only" 463 trillion.
Sure, we can talk about prices and world's wealth being much higher in 100 years, but I prefer to focus on something more achievable for now-gold's market cap.
Only about 28X to achieve that, should be doable in, say, 6-7 years (by the top of the next cycle, not this one).

always...long term


TMI, bro...haha

hmm..shit literally becomes food in some situations...ask any farmer.

that said, I don't care about future of FTX one bit and so will other people with any residual memory of 2022 happenings.
One additional comment: the field as a whole shot itself in the foot with hypefinancialization.
It seems that almost no lending company left standing apart from small Nexo (so far) and maybe Galaxy Digital, which shriveled, but not died.
It might be good for bitcoin in longer term, though.

thanks...checked that song and the tube provided dozens of links to other great oldies...and I thoroughly enjoyed them all.
RIP, indeed.

up to 40-50K is possible if we get very LOW inflation reading.

When Peter Thiel was selling in March, he was publicly saying that bitcoin could go up 100X (from then $44K). They all tout their positions when they sell.
Now, it is being widely reported that he sold.
What does that tell you...he is probably buying back and could get his position fully back and still have $1bil in booked profits.
Btw, didn't someone buy $4bil in btc futures recently?
Hehe

Making money trading is VERY difficult, especially if someone is involved in short term trades.
Medium to longer term-you can try, but traders almost always sell longs too early and hold on to losing trades for too long, hence the losses.
It's basic human nature, which is very difficult to fight.

Another common situation is when a person buys a position, then rides it down a lot and then, when it finally starts going up, sells at a breakeven price, thinking "at least I did not have a loss".
However, it is exceedingly unlikely that the price trend would turn on a dime exactly at his/her buy point...but it always feels this way, ain't it?

Straight 8 green weekly candles in Oct-Nov 2013 (from $143 to about $1200).
Now, THAT was a pump (%-wise).
Of course, with btc at about $400 bil mcap, I don't expect 700% in a few weeks  

Too bad ChatGPT membership is now closed (who knows for how long).

At least, I have my WO 'membership' where I can partake in ChatGPT "funnies", albeit without an ability to ask for some myself.

BTW, it would make a perfect sense for some AI to make a play to accumulate bitcoin...just in case, lol.

The macro question is: how much the US will get f-ed up by a self-imposed debt ceiling situation.
Mind you, I don't think that debt ceiling per se is something bad...it is just the way they are talking about 'solving' it might bring attention to the size of that debt and the consequences of it.

Here are some background stories from the "right" and "left", respectively:

And here is....Davos/WEF/etc, etc.:

Perhaps, both the latter and the former explains upcoming btc surge.

The Times They Are A-Changin':

This liftoff has a lot of similarity to April 2019.
In 2019 the initial pump was from about $4K to $5.2K, then continued to $13.8K.
If we literally translate %, then initial spike (from 16.69K to 21.05K) was similar-26.7% in 2019 and about 25.8% here.
In 2019 the "pump" continued for another 166%, and with similar percentages we would be at $55.8K at the "local" pre-peak this year.
That would be tremendous, but kind of high end of my expectations for this early in a bull cycle, unless this bull will be much stronger than 2019-2021.
Length-wise, if we repeat (it was 3mo minus 5-6 days in 2019), in would be over by about last week of March-first week of April.
Since March 31 is the end of Q1 and April 15-18 is a typical tax day in US (this year it is on 18th), it is kind of logical to expect something in that vicinity.

rub their cloacas...kind of messy, but works for them, lol
it's bizzaredly called 'cloacas kiss'... just biology, mind you, and shows that nature is inventive.

A nice bulge...in bitcoin...

A biological fact: only 3% of bird species have penises (a strange fact), but ducks is one group of birds which does.
In fact, one particular duck, Argentinian lake duck (Oxyura vittata), had a 42.5cm (16.7in) one (not bad for a bird of the same size as it's ...).
Here is something more detailed:

Actually, quite interesting...both gold and btc (more) are rallying due to debt ceiling vibes?
I was on record here somewhere that the initial pump would be earlier than in 2019 (more like Q1-endish local peak) vs Q2-end in 2019, but this is better than expected

You meant 21? 

4 year cycle is still holding, but 2025 might be too imprecise as 2017 had a 20X variation in price within the year.
I would says what i expect the peak earlier than December of 2025, maybe again a double hump with the second hump lower (not higher) with the first hum coming by around the end of Q1 2025 (slightly earlier because the cycle is NOt exactly 4 year and we are expected to shift to march from prior halving being in may). For once, I don't believe in lengthening of cycles.

FTX have found some "change" in the couch:
