You are the exact opposite of a party.... aka no fun.

I can't believe SJW rot has infiltrated Bitcoin Core, to the point they ACKED a merge to change "blacklist" to "blocklist".

For Bitcoin.

A blockchain.

...

we should fight back and stop saying blockchain but using blackchain from now on. To get even with the usage of the word „whitepaper“ 🤪

This whole thing is mind-blowing. Not even Orwell's thought-police could have been able to make such a mess with our language. I guess we will see more and more newspeak terms to be developed soon.

I remember several years ago, one of my university professors (world-famous in his field, from a department which produced a few Nobel laureates in physics) told me the following (in my own words, can't remember the exact phrases he used):

"In order to be able to innovate, to discover a new theory or law, you must open your mind to the impossible. You have to think outside of the box. You've heard of the Flat Earth movement, right? We all know its supporters are wrong, deluded, and we often make fun of them. But you must be able to enter their mindset. You must think like a Flat Earther. You must question everything, no matter how obvious it seems. Question everything, be brave enough to put it to the test, be brave enough to propose things that seem weird and outlandish. And back them up with experiments. Expand the boundaries of what is possible by conquering the impossible."

When I heard about him mentioning Flat Earth and its supporters, I initially thought he would make a joke about them, just like most people do. But he actually praised them. He praised their mindset and determination. I found this very interesting, and I recall his words every time I see or read about something that seems weird and "outright wrong". Is it? Are we really sure? These questions are etched in my mind.

Bitcoin has changed everything, because Satoshi Nakamoto dared to challenge an impossibility. He succeeded in making it a possibility, and something far beyond a mere thought experiment. He created a system that works, that has a practical application, and more than 10 years of robust, uninterrupted operation. And yet, there are still those that dismiss it and deny its significance. Even after so many years...

So, to answer Peter Schiff's poll, I choose the kid, because he dares to believe and embrace what many "experts" like Schiff deem impossible and a failure.

And, Peter, Bitcoin doesn't have a customer service number to call to reset your password. You forget it, you lose your coins, much like when you lose your wallet (try calling the Fed hotline for that). If you are too confused and don't get why this is so, we don't have time to explain it to you. Fuck you!

FTFY, with proactive added note to make sure that you do not dare to think of such offensive terms as “h***band” and “w*fe”.  You are behind the times—in the Dark Ages, using such sexist, gender-discriminatory, hetero-normative, cis-normative slurs!  Don’t you know that a man can become pregnant?  You ignorant bigot, just Google it...  (“Pregnant woman” is now incorrect:  It is “pregnant person”.)

Progress must be made.  Report for re-education.

Jimbo, you, too.

LN Markets Closes Pre-Seed to Build Bitcoin Derivatives on the Lightning Network.

Lightning-based Bitcoin derivatives trading platform LN Markets announced it has closed a pre-seed funding round with investors such as Bitfinex and Arcane Crypto.

LN Markets told the BTC Times that since launching their alpha in March earlier this year, it had aggregated over $10 million in total volume, despite implementing maximum margin limits of 0.01 BTC.

Traders on the LN Markets application execute trades directly from their Lightning wallet without the need to rely on an exchange as a custodian, which further eliminates withdrawal queues that can occur at centralized exchanges.

“We did a demo with one of the largest fund managers in France and it was like magic to them. When you settle a traditional financial instrument, it can take up to three days. With Bitcoin, it can take between one hour and one day. But with Lightning, it’s instant,”

''Like magic to them?''  Imagine those faces when they realize its now instant.

irl boat disaster befell a bitcoiner

... Sep 5
So, bit of drama last night - on the plus side, I'm alive.

On the downside, I've just lost everything - my boat caught fire last night, and despite fighting the blaze for over 5 minutes, I was unable to prevent it spreading. With the amount of fuel on board, I had no choice...


in the end but to abandon the boat to seek help.  Moments after I did that it was too late to save anything and the fire engulfed the entire boat, destroying everything I own.

It's all gone.

Clothes, coats, shoes, cleaning/grooming stuff, lap top, tablet, chargers, the works


I've got nowt left but my phone, wallet and the clothes I'm sitting here wearing.

I'm not sure where that leaves me, I anticipated the possibility of losing it all, but now I have, I need to figure out what to do next.

Survival is the priority over the next 24 hours.

Don’t you know that a man can become pregnant?  You ignorant bigot, just Google it...  (“Pregnant woman” is now incorrect:  It is “pregnant person”.)

That's why some diptwats are putting tampon dispensers in formerly called men's bathrooms.

What a world.







What a world.

Quoting a post I made in December 2019...

Congrats to Gembitz and Roach on your newborn baby Yoda. 

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/transgender-man-gives-birth-non-21177808

"Female" sperm donor found on Facebook, transgenders' parade, testosterone injections, breast removal, female partner wants to be called "them/they", pregnant hairy female "father" with a beard on a transgender gyno doctor's exam seat... What's next? 

Just about the only normal person in this freak show is the baby...

I'm no homophobic, but this article makes me want to puke!

It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
