chivalry is good imo. makes me blind to a lot of faults in someone if they put me first in some way. it buys a lot of loyalty and rent space... not sure if it's good to have loyalty, but loyalty to someone who puts you first seems like a no-brainer

I have to tune Max Keiser tweets out because he's so good at making me feel like I need to move somewhere else.
I need a Ven diagram of what places will survive bitcoinization, the pole shift, this years' elections...
and hopefully have some good bike protected lanes.

so I recently ordered a blockstream jade and fell for a silly scam. on the same day that the device was being delivered, I received a text from postal service about delivery and I also received a text asking me to update my address and pay 20cents for redelivery.
so the text I answered with my address was not official... so someone now has my address and knows that I was buying a blockstream jade.

was it the book "thank God for Bitcoin" or something else that made the connection for you?

thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if it's the bitcoin influence or radio waves beaming in from outer space but I also feel that strange appreciation for Christianity that I didn't have before. it's odd to me because I would normally think an obsession with financial things like Bitcoin should be a distraction from religion/spirituality but the two seem to make room for each other somehow.

yikes! so how much of following of the law should be driven by fear of consequences vs just being a better person? it feels like it's impossible to not fall into a useless obsession with following laws that's completely unhelpful to moral development. so then it's easy to make up excuses for why certain laws just don't apply anymore.
i'm always looking for excuses for why i can be pagan and christian at the same time...

I've had a 2 second kiss 3 years ago that I still remember. it seemed like it had a world of possibilities in it that were completely unrelated to how i perceived the person on the other side.
how is it possible that something so seemingly meaningless has a life of its own in my head?

have any orthodox done mushrooms and talked with the saints on their trip?
some people talk to Buddha, Jesus, God, the universe, sometimes all of them at once.
the idea is that we see the people that we identify with when we are introduced to religion. Are the saints just sharing some of the responsibility. or do all requests need to be channeled through God?

it sounds catchy enough... are you saying that this is AI generated or you are guessing that it is?
is it just a catchy jingle to make people in Texas want to drive a Lexus =) ? head out across the western expanses of fields of bluebonnets and windmills and oil rigs, stop at someone's BBQ, and throw your hands up.
I think it sounds silly. and i kinda like it!

I just shared this with a German friend and he's curious about Bitcoin but turned off by the energy consumption.
does anyone know a good online resource on the energy consumption of Bitcoin?

what do you think the smallest sized UTXO will have any value in the future?
i wonder if there are any equations about this or thinking about how much value in the world changes hands on a daily basis.
And what kind of minimum batching (e.g. 0.1 BTC, 1 BTC, 10 BTC) will be needed to get that value through the resistance of the block sizes as it moves back and forth?
