So, fair to say it has the same effect as money printing to finance deficit spending? Ie, the deficit spending itself is the liquidity injection but whereas normal bond issuance to finance the spending would draw dollars out of the market, these t-bill issuances are bought with dollars that were outside of the market so to speak.
Thanks again, Lyn.

Can you explain how t-bill issuance is pro-liquidity via reverse repo reduction? I understand that as reverse repo is reduced, dollars flow into the market. But if those dollars are used to buy t-bills, doesn't that absorb the dollar flow? Thanks.

JP Morgan published a long equity research note on the publicly-traded bitcoin miners.
They think valuations are rich relative to history based on a comparison of equity value to the total $ value of block subsidies in the upcoming epoch at today's $/btc.
Factoring in their estimated power costs, the 14 largest public miners are valued at 2.5x their total gross profit over the coming epoch. From this, they infer that the market is pricing in (1) higher $/btc (duh, but then... just buy bitcoin)
(2) declining hash rate (they think 80 EH/s goes offline after the halvening)
(3) longer ASIC useful life
They estimate global fleet efficiency at 30 j/TH and the average cost of power from $0.03-$0.05 per kWh.
Bitcioin transaction fees at ~O.8% of transaction value are called out as being much higher than the 0.15-0.2% charged by Visa/Mastercard, but in-line with what those companies charge for international transactions.
Hash rate growth is forecast to slow to 15 EH/s quarterly which, barring a move higher in $/btc equates to capex of 35% of estimated network gross profit.
They model a 30% post-halvening increase in $/btc based on an "arbitrage free" pricing model (future price is a function of spot price and carry cost).
Their favorite pick is $CIFR for its cheap ($0.027/kWh) fixed power price contracts through 2027.
$MARA has the highest beta to bitcoin price at 3.1x compared to others in the 1.5-2.0x range.

If you genuinely want to square this circle, the correct frame is that sex is sacred and is arguably the most powerful force that operates on humans.
The call, then, is to harness this force for its life-giving power while also avoiding the temptation to engage in it otherwise. When basic constraints dissolve, the effect cascades towards all manner of kink and perversion, not to mention destructive conflict.
First it's just the "liberation" of casual sex not aimed at reproduction. Then one after another constraint gives way, and it takes more to satisfy. Why not orgies and sodomy? Why not domination? Why not beastiality or incest? Why not children?
If you're looking for evidence, look no further than the abundance and variety of pornography made and consumed. Consider also that people monetize children as sex slaves. You need not agree that this is bad, but it is what the apparent contradiction that you cited is intended to protect against.

Right. But there is a big difference in friction between rebroadcasting to all with a single click (e.g. Retweet) and having to decrypt, save, and then send. Also, paying even a small amount upfront changes filters a lot of unwanted attention and creates a perception of the information being not intended for everyone.
I'm not talking digital scarcity, but rather a more guarded approach to social media.

Nostr as a comms protocol that can't be easily censored will be increasingly important to their objectives as the internet gatekeepers might become hostile towards the self-sufficient types who don't yield to typical power vectors. Also, as a free market for ideas and information there will likely be a higher signal-to-noise ratio compared to guarded social media.
