Part of the obesity problem is that everyone dresses like a slob and wears expandable clothing. Back when men had to fit in their suits and women into their dresses, becoming a fat slob was way more expensive and way more noticeable.

I agree with this too. I just keep coming back to fiat being so corrupt and evil that every market is an aberration of what it should be. Money is amoral, markets are amoral, but you have a signal of immorality coming through because of how evil fiat is.
I just recorded with @npub1vwy…zugd and he likened fiat to a vector of a virus. The virus itself is just an amoral thing, but vectors transmitting it to other people cause harm. That’s where I am landing on this. Markets are amoral, but are currently transmitting corrupted signals because of the corrupt vector currently underlying their communication of information.

I agree with that. I was referring more to fiat markets where immoral behavior and known impossible deliverance scenarios can be undertaken because of the ability to create more units of currency. You brought up the point of the bitcoin market only existing because of the current measuring stick being fiat dollars right now and that there isn’t actually a market inherent to the protocol. That’s an important point that we also briefly touched on in our discussion

I agree with that and why it’s I’ve always hated the framing by one side of it as a moral issue. I need to think more about immoral actors participating in markets and what that means though.

So only the actors are doing immoral things. The market itself isn’t immoral. I understand that thinking, and agree, but what happens when those immoral acts influence markets? The market remains logically amoral but is producing an immoral outcome?

@npub12em…y99g and @npub1emd…c9aw Are markets where you can place bets that are truly undeliverable (you don’t have the asset taking a futures contract that specifies delivery, or naked shorting), immoral? Do we call this fraud? Assumed risk by the participants? How do we define these kinds of scenarios? Because they do affect the price of assets.

2026-07-08 13:26:28 UTC

@npub1cn4…3vle the answer to the question about not caring about the #bitcoin holders on your Q&A is actually a lot simpler than you were trying to think through. The simple answer is, by introducing the preferreds, you now have to pay them via selling bitcoin or selling shares because the operating cash flow cannot support it. Both of those options send the share price down because the bitcoin is worth less after selling spot BTC. You have now defeated the value proposition of the company, which was, buy our shares and we will get more bitcoin than you could have just buying spot. So, the short answer is selling bitcoin also punishes the shareholders. The shareholders get a double whammy to allow some preferred yield seekers to suck out their capital investment.

Just spent $3k to have a bunch of stuff done to our car and coming home last night, someone was coming out of the alley when we were trying to go down it. So we went in reverse to let them out, then went to put the car back in drive and it got locked in neutral. Absolutely nothing was working. Had to push the car through the alley where the sewer was backed up and overflowing. Completely soaked feet. Tried some ChatGPT troubleshooting for close to an hour. Nothing. Then the sky completely opens up. Massive thunderstorm. Trying to get the toolbag and the car seat into our garage in a deluge. Finally call the tow service with my insurance. Obviously July 3rd in a monsoon wasn’t exactly a ten minute ordeal. End up waiting in my garage for the guy for almost an hour. Meanwhile our building sewer starts to back up and water starts flooding everywhere in the garage and hallway and starts running into the stairwell. Half our house is in cardboard boxes in there. So I start scrambling to get plastic bins on the bottom and boxes up a flight of stairs. Tow guy shows up in the middle of that. Have to help him load the thing in while it’s pouring. It’s dark and pouring so you can’t really see that the alley is totally flooded. Guy steps out of his truck into the alley backed up sewer water in his Jordans and starts going nuts. Finally get the car out and have it sent to the place that did all the work on my car. Then I had to go back and finish moving the boxes. It’s just sitting at the shop and I have zero clue what’s next.
