Michael Saylor suggests Jeff Bezos to buy $600 million worth of Bitcoin  

I gotta say...

(Well first shrink your image a bit... damn!)

The trolling from Saylor there is magnificent even if he is racing to beat the pants off SBF for "crypto king implosion".  I love his fervor... but he worries me.

OK... Even though it's still a LITTLE frothy...

RSI on the Weekly, Daily and Hourly says GOOD shot at an ATH in the next while (week or two?).

Soon every billionaire will buy a billion dollars of Bitcoin and the supply shock will be so great that we will stop measuring BTC in terms of fiat."

BOJ's Ueda Says Need to Maintain Accommodative Monetary Environment to Support Economy
The slightly dovish take may assuage concerns about a yen-led risk-off in global markets, including cryptocurrencies.

Bank of Japan (BOJ) Governor Kazuo Ueda said Friday the central bank must maintain an accommodative monetary policy to support economic growth and ensure the underlying inflation gradually moves to the 2% target.

Ueda told the Parliament that the recent increase in the consumer price index above the 2% target has been led by cost-push factors such as elevated food and fuel prices that will likely dissipate.

The comments come a week after the bank raised the benchmark borrowing cost to 0.5%, the highest in over 16 years, and could assuage fears of a yen-led risk-off in global markets, including cryptocurrencies, as observed in August.

The governor, however, maintained that rate hikes will continue if the economy evolves as expected. According to ForexLive, traders see the next BOJ rate hike in July.

In other words: Orange man called Yellow man. "Don't you spoil our carry trade or you'll see!"

If you're not Japanese, this is great news. It's the Nippon way to brr without brr.

News Explorer — SBF's Parents Seek Presidential Pardon From Trump for Disgraced FTX Founder: Report



Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried, parents of imprisoned crypto fraudster and FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, are reportedly seeking a presidential pardon for their son from Donald Trump. The couple, both Stanford Law School professors, are exploring connections to Trump's inner circle for potential clemency discussions, according to a source familiar with the matter.

I think Sam Backman Fried (SBF) is unforgivable, the crimes he committed will not be pardoned by Donald Trump.  Donald Trump alone cannot forgive, SBF has offended people around the world.  Imprisonment and stay for a long time would be the appropriate punishment for him.

Also!! Why are nearly NONE of you on NOSTR yet?  I would send you sats!



And by SATS... I mean like 5 of them because I am cheap af.  But come anyway!  If you need help ping me.

Tips:

First of all... what is it?  Well those of you old enough to remember it's basically the rebirth of IRC.  That said, it is more really.

It is a decentralized protocol for "social media".  And the first clients are very "twitter" like.  But image and video clients are being developed to rival TikTok, Instaghram etc.  AND there are emerging services for long form posting (think Medium) as well as chat groups like Telegram.

So what client to start with?  Well there are MANY good ones.

Easy... but also the most mainstream.  Sort of the "iPhone" of NOSTR clients.  VERY easy to onboard with...  But also has KYC for the lightning wallet features?  (WTF?!??! HELL NO).  Still if you want your non techy grandma on Nostr (I mean bring her!!!)  Then this might be the ticket.  It's also the ticket for a LOT of people not a crumudgeonly as me.

iPhone
OK so I said iPhone up there too... but this is the leading client for that platform... and likely one of the most well developed ones.  I don;t like it.  But you do you!

Android
I like Amethyst.  This is my daily driver.  Very tweaky.

Web/Android/Iphone
Yakihonne.
Weird name interesting client.  Very nice.
https://yakihonne.com/

And there are LOTS of other non twitter looking implementations and software in the works... Music... videos... podcasting... and on and on..

It's not going away.



FINALLY.  I know you are not going to come to listen to me blather... but...

https://yakihonne.com/users/npub13mg4p79p8r47ura000v9npr67z4uj7n5lpwx6zqanh3aevcsshyslv2xfz

I'm on Amethyst. Emphasis on privacy/anonymity. It can look a bit chaotic if you're used to the old Twitter client. It does work fine. The main issue is there aren't a lot of interesting users yet. Come on WO gang, join Nostr!

Michael Saylor suggests Jeff Bezos to buy $600 million worth of Bitcoin 

   That tweet screencap is over a month old and it lacks the context required to understand the message let alone to support your thesis.  I believe Saylor is politely imploring Bezos not to marrying that skank.

Bitcoin  being as bullish AF and the mempool is eerily quiet?
All that backlog we had for the last year or so is now down to only less than two dozen blocks!
A good time for UTXO consolidation me thinks.
