The country formally known as “Great” Britain is entering into a new world of pain. Yes, they can maybe borrow on the short end, but that is developing economy type stuff. Who would own gbp right now, never mind bonds. Hyperinflation takes place when faith is lost in a currency, please, hands up who believes that GBP is stable and will hold its value moving forward? https://blossom.primal.net/3ae465a635f5b3a40c7a8414901b0920b70202ec739b36237dea827a27c70271.jpg #nevent1q…mc7g npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe And people wonder why “chat control” ever made it through a first reading.

In a corner of the work I do, I’m fascinated about what inflation but also hyperinflation is, money printing is the cause we can see but sometimes it doesn’t cause the effect (are there sinks for that extra money to go?). News headlines like this point to another angle, before the money printing is needed. International supply issues, if the UK can’t get diesel, we’re cooked, for the diesel remaining 🚀, panic buying, further price rises, break down of supply of other goods, and hyperinflation or somewhere close is at our doors (serious cooking takes place for all measures of inflation), hmmm, what did the fed just do?!?!? This is wild. Also interesting that this story on a British wrench attack is now surfacing, after taking place on the 13th of December….. preparing us for more? Custodying crypto for our safety? I wouldn’t put anything past them. Anyway, teaching this morning, maybe grab a newly retired colleague who I shared “why so serious” with (https://primal.net/Dug/Why-So-Serious-tm4hwz). Thinks I should make it into an op ed….. now to learn what an “op-ed” actually is but also how I share it under a name other than Dug. https://blossom.primal.net/33e38b56cd71a99f95df9a08adb4fa49c73acfbd996843ea1b949a3731a503fd.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/cac540fcc24e1f14d00e25e2172a9ab00775c7cefc71c0dfb731416ec340c665.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Gm nostriches, happy Thursday. After meeting up with a friend who will be enjoying his first day of retirement today, and some fiat mine requests that had to be pushed back on (https://primal.net/Dug/w4sebxk4mvz69p4h), the idea of moving on from the educational clown show is very appealing. I’m not sure I’m ready for a break from routine, but love the idea of just looking around for new work based experiences to get involved with (even being the white, English speaking deliveroo rider). Yeah, I may not be seeding the Bitcoin revolution, would need to work on the fam to up sticks and travel the world (damn you @nprofile…mvme ) but it is all so appealing. Saying that, some of the writing/reading/research I was doing yesterday was pretty interesting (likely to be the next job), but putting all that shit aside, it’s just exploded in my head, “did you get a retirement present?” “Yes, I bought myself a dog.” Sounds fucking awesome. 🐶 Happy Thursday freaks, #coffeechain after a pretty good sleep, #bikestr to be ridden, porridge ready for the eldest and youngest still stoked to be riding her new bike to school. https://blossom.primal.net/3a183fb2fdb3fdf143fd4940f2e61a2895be2cfb1b3b2cf086e60bf89eb1540c.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Thought exactly the same as I was on the patio, just missing the smoke.

After what Emily Thornberry said about asset seizure (taking empty homes), a self custodied digital asset has never been so valuable in the UK at any point before now. Prepare accordingly, things are going to get fucking wild. https://www.yahoo.com/news/videos/healey-brands-farage-liz-truss-113906846.html https://blossom.primal.net/57f55b41273ef537a3051501ec5b71141c0f87217a460a7b70a21e937ec7b396.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Eldest was in charge of constructing the pizzas, wood fired pizza oven yet to be purchased, but the standard oven did a pretty fine job, maybe slightly more time next time, but my base was 😘👌 https://blossom.primal.net/2a7033d68fbc575a6ef4b8574143b2e6d0c7f89a9a9870daff6daf418523f641.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/4b40741800156008cdd92afe1b0b506170d5ac5ac4324d988083061223b3e566.jpg #nevent1q…m8xh npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Gm nostriches, “get to” (@nprofile…mrlx ) take the youngest to her dance rehearsal today, and while the roads are closed due to a local half marathon, means we can take the bikes, as if buying her a new one last week was perfectly times or something…….. Watching my other YouTube guilty please and thought, “I wonder what old coupes are available close to me” and then thought, Bitcoin may appreciate, but driving a fun late 80’s Porsche could be priceless. Not going to start looking straight away, but love a little fun imagining the future where I can get a treat like this for, hmmmm, say, 10 million sats or so…… wouldn’t hold it’s value in sats but then, that’s not what life is all about. What is bitcoin to me? Helping me “get to” do more things. Happy Sunday. https://blossom.primal.net/0d03f102fb7598ad7699a9c77e77ed3d6d7baaafe2b5a3aef8502c93fc19692f.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Gm nostriches, happy Friday freaks. First Friday of term with a 9am session to attempt to get sleeping minds thinking……. Maybe talk to them about “why we sleep” and organise to see them later in the day when their brains are actually working. Interesting SoftBank news yesterday about their massively high yielding AI investment bonds (https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/softbank-issues-111-billion-bonds-openai-financing-push-2026-09-24/), 10%? 😮💨 to me it feels like a pretty safe investment, so to get that level of yields, i can see why other’s were dumping sovereign yields, US 10y at 5.2% just showing it was not happy with the competition, and UK quietly being taken out the woodshed for the only humane option. And so, the economy measured in terms gold, currently in a massive downtrend, as the perpetual motion machine of AI scalers start to lose momentum and people look for safety and that is no longer bonds…….. no chance of an “inverted yield curve” predictor this time, unless central banks really start to hikes their rate……. Holy crap, I may be beginning to understand more of the economic “newspeak” we’ve been getting fed (no pun intended). Also, the value of my fiat bank balance has reduced by around 9% in the last week, 😳 yes, for those eagle eyed out there, that is only 3.5% off the 12.5% a week that represents hyperinflation. Time to stack my “New Weimar” brethren. #coffeechain bringing the mind together nicely, hope the students are doing the same. https://blossom.primal.net/7972c549c9ed25877ad2286f871d4163e9554ce43fee07505be88366f800477a.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/ef70a7ea6d20c918a9850500f9d487bef63730efb8dac6ebba6b46fa02d27d03.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/6c64d9449408d7ef814695d141ae4665e9ecaf9e0d4554658768ed3a9f006644.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/afb487f50651f23e06d7a0797f6d4526ba0edd2fc2a835d30e957bc7754fc243.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Give how 10y gilt yields are going, low ball might be on the money.

Yeah, accessing Canadian oil is one thing, but Indians getting a new route into mainland Europe will likely be the result. Even if the population is low at the moment, in Portugal earlier this year, I wondered whether India used to be part of the Portuguese empire (like the uk), considering the number of bar tenders and servers over there. Messing around with AI to add some figures, which given the high starting point in the UK makes sense, but as supposedly an “evidence based researcher” I should probably check the sources and details of this data…… maybe another time, but that Canada figure is fucking wild, no wonder Canindia’s service sector is void of actual Canadians.

Today is 23 years since I went with my mother to put him down and weirdly I wasn’t sad at all. He had lived his best life, the final 6 months after my first dog was put down, he played his part in training the new puppy to be a good dog so after that, his job was done, we said goodbye and that was it. I then attempted to replace him with a dog that was pretty much his Doppleganger, which wasn’t fair on that dog, big boots to fill (and fate showed that was not the right decision). Looking back on when he was a puppy, I never thought about the character I was getting and how important a part of my life or how I would be ALL of his life, when they are just a small beast, peeing on your aunt with excitement or digging a hole in the front lawn when you didn’t come back from the hospital after “that bike ride” didn’t resonate as they maybe could have. I’ve run the math and technically he was the best dog I’ve owned, engineers gotta engineer, but at the same time he was the family’s dog, so when he was gone we mourned him as a family, so could get over it. Other dogs, not so much. The world may be going to shit, your other half may be getting brain washed by social media, your job may suck, but realise, somewhere in the future, there is a timeline where you head to a farm, and there are little bundles of joy there that will one day be you favourite thing in the world.
