... they missed the designer Ray Bands and apple earpods accessories, hugely profitable items I would add that the other tool he uses to smash capitalism is the $1K Iphone, which although it can't be seen properly, he is holding it with his hands behind the screen. I know a few like that myself.

Just loaded another coin onto my Umbrel node, to build out the "Official WO Router" (ABSOLUTE SARCASM) on TOR. Looking to establish some more routes.
It's fucking surreal if you stop and do the math, and I'm casually mentioning shit to Rick and other friends like "Yeah, sorta playing with over $200k USD liquidity on this retarded Bitcoin Lightning network thing. Doing all the math and accounting of routing logs, I should theoretically be in a profit position, but due to quantum state of channels... fuck my ass" kinda situation develops, and spirals out into wanton degeneracy, but that's another story...
Point is, overall, I appear to technically be in a profit situation, just routing the last few payments, that should have theoretically paid for ALL MY CHANNEL OPEN COSTS, but again, owing to quantum state of channels, cannot properly do accounting until I close channels, so...
Very frustrating.
Anyway, had a great week with Rick - First great week we've had together since recovering from COVID19, and him retiring. Getting used to this whole retirement thing together is very nice. Weekends have effectively ceased to have any day-to-day meaning to us now, as we're starting to go out and do things every day now, so... Life is good kinda deal.
Prepping to have friends over for a party tomorrow afternoon, to celebrate Rick's retirement.
Have a great one, friends.

Congrats. Life is indeed good. Enjoy your double emancipation. Weekends? The big thing about weekends is that more of your friends are available. I also means fewer places are open. After a while you start hating Fridays and loving Mondays.

The irony is that Bitcoin is likely gain all of those "interventions" he mentioned through more future regulation (e.g. the taxation part is already there, the rest of the oversight will become the same as the stonk market...so basically none). If and when it does, does that mean he will suddenly be a proponent of Bitcoin again? Lol That fkn guy has no clue of the deep corruption of the capital markets. The supposed "interventions" to protect the people are complete bullshit.

More humor: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/vitalik-buterin-calls-mandatory-bitcoin-184654330.html...tactic of pushing BTC to millions of people in El Salvador at the same time with almost no attempt at prior education is reckless, and risks a large number of innocent people getting hacked or scammed. Shame on everyone (ok, fine, I’ll call out the main people responsible: shame on Bitcoin maximalists) who are uncritically praising him... LOL OMG its those "Bitcoin maximalists" recklessly exposing innocent people to being hacked and scammed. Good thing they didn't make your little scamcoin official too, eh Vitalik? Sour grapes?
