I hadn't seen it, but it's wonderful. When boiling down some problem, removing some of the particulars, removing technical stuff, one can end up with a scenario looking a lot like the one in that article. It is why it's sometimes important to solve them, one never knows in what area of science that problem will appear. @phil...an interesting approach. Maybe you are using "other" Phil's brains across the multiverse to solve it (and you being entangled to all of them). We don't know enough how the unconscious problem solving works. I have no method, but when i was a bit younger, productive ideas just "popped" into my head. The last such idea was "buy as much bitcoin as you can ASAP" It's not an engineering, math or other science insight, sadly. Figuring out how the mind works may end being one of the last problems to solve (a billion years from now, ). ... I picture the whole system is like an old record player, where the mind is the record needle and the universe is the record, the vinyl. Our mind jumps from groove to groove whenever new ideas pop into our heads.

WoW, Gamestop was the most traded equity on the planet today. Reddit army just killed one hedge fund and bailed out by their Wallstreet friends instantly. Wall Street billionaires lost $8b in one day. Elon musk shilling GME. lol. Isn't colluding to pump/dump a stock, market manipulation by definition? This is not bitcoin, SEC can go after them

That Gamestop run up was put together by a Reddit group. They set out to wreck all of the shorts that had been set. They succeeded.
The guy who put it together pulled in $11 million from the run up.
This crazy fucking bastard held onto his stash and is up to $22 million now. https://www.reddit.com/user/DeepFuckingValue/That dude really needs to take some profit soon, because that stock is definitely going to plummet back to earth. And fast, when it does. It's actually grown from a clear case of autism to a social phenomenon. They already have more than 140% shorts in GME. If they would increase even more the whole thing would throw a bad light on re-hypo. How did shorts manage to obtain 40% more stock to short that there suppose to be? Prominent people are starting to put their finger on the scales too-Chamath and Elon (on the long side). The thing is-they gave play money to people with not much to do and they went and bought GME, surprise, surprise. Other stonks with concentrated short interest are starting to pop as well. Who actually cares if a hedge fund or two will go bankrupt...there are thousands more. In fact, i am sure that some hedgies are already "feasting" on GME shorts. I am staying away from the whole thing. Strangely enough, bitcoin or shitcoins are not involved (yet), and I am glad that bitcoin isn't. it is a relief to see crazy things going on in finance and bitcoin is not part of it. the global communication platform that the internet is, has an impact on markets. bitcoin feeds on the same phenomenon. bitcoiners are even better connected than a bunch of redditors. nice stunt though. it is hard to get a crowd pull in the same direction. there will be more of that in the future. bitcoin isnt the only insane thing with astronomical profits. good. the 22mio dude must be a seasoned btc hodler...

“The activity in GameStop is more proof of concept that Bitcoin is going to work,” Scaramucci said in an interview. “How are you going to beat that decentralized crowd? That to me is more affirmation about decentralized finance.” This is the only part worth seeing behind that Bloomberg articles paywall

Comparing Bitcoin to the internet is deeply flawed.
honest question: why is this deeply flawed? please elaborate. Internet started as an idea, which later was implemented as ARPANET (which most people nowadays have never heard of). The idea lives, but it is a collection of myriad of technologies, networks, protocols, cryptography, devices etc.. It's not one thing, it's all of it. Greatness of the internet is that everyone can use it and benefit from it, but it's not an asset you can buy. Bitcoin is code and data, which uses cryptography and was intended as a trustless digital currency to allow direct transactions, however it is more store of value since, and more so as its value rises. Greatness of the Bitcoin is the concept, the idea, and that doesn't need BTC to live, same like internet doesn't need ARPANET. There's a lot of more accurate analogies (key word is analogy), for example, what Ford T is to the idea of vehicle, Bitcoin is to the idea of currency. For now, lot of people believe it is safest and most rewarding asset you can own today - me included, otherwise I wouldn't be BTC hodler. All I was saying was, no one can predict next 10y. I doubt Satoshi 13y ago ever thought what it may become and be used for. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=67.0Only came 2 short to make this brother hero.... if someone could step in, as for somac. only 50 max in 30 days, but you're also almost there ... cheers

Also will be looking to set up a low-key private wireless ISP service for the area (will at least have a single Starlink satellite system, in addition to whatever runs we decide to have the local telcos make)
Take a look at unify / ubiquity products. ui.com I have their UAP-AC-Lite as my own separate wireless access point at home. You will still want to install hard wire cables on your property, at least CAT6 ethernet (good enough for gigabit speeds or faster). And fibreglass linked switches everywhere! Did you mean fiber optic? That may work, you could check out their air fiber things, they allow you to connect one point to another up to 22 miles away (you'd need to set up little towers on both ends). That would be your own backhaul. But one location can handle a bunch of CAT6 cables just fine. No no, classic fibre optic cables, just between switches (or floors, buildings, server rooms) to circumvent throughput bottlenecks. IIRC hewlett packard built them too. I wired some two decades ago, but they were made by some other vendor (cisco, maybe?)... I remember my cisco days, when you could just disappear in the network

I mean when being busy cabling in rooms full of network hardware cabinets, which you had to step into more than occasionally and effectively disappeared for somebody who came by and switched off the lights. Luckily there were plenty of blinking LEDs to let me find the way to the light switch

That's a cool website indeed. I was looking for such site which shows all data at once. The only thing I miss that you could directly convert amounts between BTC <> Currency.
