As an Iraqi, let me tell you why this war was our only way out...
I have bad news for you, this is not a rescue operation. Israel's goal is to turn Iran into Syria. They are not dropping bombs out of some overwhelming concern for the freedom of Iranians.

A perhaps unpopular opinion that I firmly believe: MSTR has not even been net positive for bitcoin’s price. It’s been a negative on every front.

2025-09-19 00:16:37 UTC

This is the inverse of reality. The far larger threat to bitcoin is inadequate developer interest, talent and funding. If I were a spook I would try to make bitcoin development as thankless and miserable an experience as possible, wait for a critical bug to be introduced due to inadequate review and exploit it to destroy confidence in the network and asset.

While I agree that “everything is good for bitcoin” is mostly true, I don’t think it pertains just to attacks that don’t kill or meaningfully cripple bitcoin.
Shitcoins are the prime example here. They aren’t able to outcompete bitcoin in the marketplace, but they have been wildly successful at poisoning public sentiment. People see the grifting and associate it with bitcoin…they aren’t particularly discerning with their hatred.
Even otherwise intelligent and thoughtful people, like Cory Doctorow, can’t seem to disentangle bitcoin from “crypto”. It’s all just a VC and tech bro con.
This reputational damage has proven to be fairly durable, which I think is why we haven’t seen much retail interest in bitcoin this cycle (even though the we’ve 6x’d since the 2022 lows).
Anecdotally, I have many casual friends, who were previously at least open to bitcoin and are now ideologically opposed to it.
To give an example: a couple days ago I was having my annual fantasy football draft zoom with 11 guys I went to high school with, and the topic of bitcoin came up. One of the guys is a professional videographer. He was talking about having just been hired to film Eric Trump at the Bitcoin Asia conference in Hong Kong a week ago, and apparently had been re-hired to do another shoot during Eric’s travels in Japan.
The body language and derisive comments from guys on the call, not towards Trump but rather bitcoin itself, made me think that there is literally no price bitcoin can go to where these guys will ever purchase any. They will only hate it more as it grows.
I can’t say how exactly it will manifest, but this will hurt bitcoin at some point. It certainly won’t kill it, but there are going to be political backlashes in a lot of countries where politicians tap into this animosity.
I know npub1n3sjlzmhpu8rl56umtptc4lua6zkretq2p82yhytnmlcuq639vlqd0te5l and others have done great work showing how bitcoin is widely owned by people across the political spectrum. What I would be curious to see, though, is how prevalent extremely negative sentiment towards bitcoin is amongst the population, how rigid those beliefs are, and where those people lie politically.

This painting by @npub17nd…950x has quickly become one my prized possessions 💜
It isn't just the beauty of the art, and incredible expressivity in the brushstrokes, but the fact that I purchased it on Nostr, with bitcoin.
Every time walk through my entryway and see it, it makes me smile. I think of how this nascent, censorship-resistant communications protocol connected me in New Zealand with an incredible artist in Italy. And using unstoppable money I was able to instantly transfer value across the globe. No middle-men. No "platforms" taking a cut and manipulating me with their ads and perverse incentives. Just two people, trading value for value. The best money in the world, for some the best art.

Szasz also points out how pseudo-scientific the concept of mental illness is. It misattributes the cause of feelings and behavior to mere brain chemical balances and hand-wavy genetics without being able to objectively demonstrate any of this.
Instead, the true cause of what are often called mental illnesses is the trauma individuals experience (generally at young age). And the lessons that get internalized from these traumas.

I struggle to put myself in the mindset of the architect who designed this. Unless it was originally built as some rendition dark site for MI6, or the place for Jimmy Savile to take his victims, its malevolence makes no sense.

I think because Saif has heard Konstantin in other venues and has seen how dishonest of a broker he is. His actions bely his protestations that he is not pro-genocide.
The debate he moderated with Brianna Joy Gray and Eli Lake was especially revealing: https://youtu.be/_M15lTZ41dM?si=prBKnHdbDrfOAbwK
Saif is in a difficult position of calling bullshit on someone who feigns objective impartiality but who is really a propagandist with an agenda.

When you consider that Konstantin is advocating for the continued genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, I can understand Saif struggling to keep his cool.

2024-08-11 07:41:54 UTC

In a hotel restaurant enjoying my morning sencha, I can’t help but overhear the only other person there ask the Hungarian waiter if he had heard that Ukraine had managed to take the fight into Russia (presumably referring to their recent assault on Kursk)?
She sounded so excited, and clearly believed this was some sign that Ukraine was turning the tide of the war (which is exactly the PR effect Ukraine hoped to achieve). I found myself looking at her, just thinking how we are living in totally different universes. How, in the year 2024, could she still uncritically believe anything the news feeds her?
Then I went back to enjoying my tea and the beauty of the courtyard garden.

In London atm and it really is beginning to feel like the dystopian London from V for Vendetta.
It's a jarring juxtaposition: all these beautiful buildings and gardens within the context of dystopian surveillance state that, if I understand Starmer correctly, is now using live AI facial recognition combined with more CCTV cameras per square km than anywhere else on earth.
I was listening to a bit of a Keir Starmer speech and it sounded almost exactly like high chancellor, Adam Sutler when he is ramping up surveillance and control to monitor dissident thought and capture V.
It’s as though these politicians have never seen a movie, or read a dystopian sci fi novel. They certainly have no sense of irony.

There is a soulful, haunting quality to Lizzy Paplinger's voice that lingers with me after I've listened.
MSMR was one of the innumerable indie pop bands that came out around the '08-14 period. And while most of them sound interchangeable (Marina, Charli XCX, Tove Lo...) and have these darker themes and moodiness, MSMR stands out as having a bit more substance.
It's a bummer they never broke out.

I'm joking. I'd just ressaure him that if he can't fee bump, that his tx will either confirm within the next week or so, or become spendable again in his wallet. His coins aren't lost in the ether, and the beauty of a bitcoin tx is that either the coins are with you or with the recipient. They can't get lost like a wire transfer.
