1/ @rogerkver is now coming after me on Reddit. Notice that instead of engaging in any of the substantive points I made, he instead resorts to base ad hominem.

Roger, you can do better than that. Why not debate me on the issues I raised?

We can record it and make it public.
2/ p.s. do you appreciate the delicious irony of calling me a cultist on one of the most slavishly cultish forums on the Internet (r/btc)?
Yo @jimmysong any pointers you can give me on preventing Roger from snatching the mic? 😂

1/ 10 years ago today, in an unknown location, a mysterious figure whose identity is still unknown, tapped a key on his keyboard, spurring his CPU into action.

In doing so, Satoshi reified his vision for a decentralized digital cash that he'd published 3 months earlier.
2/ The fan in his computer began spinning to keep the CPU, burning from the burden of work it had been given, from overheating.

The CPU in Satoshi's computer was searching for a special pattern, much like a digital needle in a haystack, that would secure #Bitcoin's first block.
3/ Here is that needle:

0x000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f

It is the hash of Bitcoin's "Genesis Block", which created the first 50 bitcoins ever to be mined (by a quirk of Bitcoin's protocol these 50 bitcoins can never be spent).

1/ I'm so excited to see this documentary about The Great War. Most people have little or no knowledge of the first World War, despite it being historically far more significant than the second. It spelled the end of the old European order.

2/ It also spelled the end of the classical gold standard, which had brought prosperity to much of the world during the 19th century. The world had finally escaped the Malthusian Trap only to enter a century of statism, fiat money and mass murder.
3/ Part of the disinterest in the Great War is the antiquated footage we have of the events. We see the past as a series of snapshots of soldiers awkwardly goose-stepping at 16 frames per second, making it harder for us to empathize with their struggles. It seems a caricature.

1/ Understand that as we explore the depths of the bear market, HODLers will be faced by an unremitting barrage of "I-told-you-so's". Your conviction will be tested both financially but emotionally.

Survive and you will be battle-hardened for the next cycle.
2/ It's normal and natural to feel despair. You will be surrounded by it from people invested in or paying attention to this market because we are at the darkest phase of the hype cycle.

3/ But winter will not last forever. The first blossoms of spring will show themselves in the years to come. There will be significant increases and institutionalization of the liquidity channels to Bitcoin in the next year.

“Ad hominem” in the sense that someone whose “proof” that π is a rational number is rejected, unread, by a mathematics professor complains that the rejection is “ad hominem”.
The best short read on “technological solutions” is here. publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201719/cm…
But basic point: any such solutions require enormous trust, and extensive common legal frameworks, and common implementation of IT. Both sides have to be convinced and they will take years to negotiate and implement.

ad hominems are
1) not fallacies
2) are necessary
3) we should probably be interrogating the motivation of the arguments made by slaveholders, colonizers, and literal Nazis rather than accepting them at face value and thinking that they're neutral
read "The Racial Contract" by brilliant philosopher Charles Mills
amazon.com/Racial-Contrac…
(initial tweet is hella broad and maybe calling that ad hominem isn't appropriate, idk i'm just a dumbass pretentious philosophy undergrad, please fight me on this if you want i love fighting aka normal argumentation, above tweet is not a summary of Mills' work)

Ad hominem.
Are you familiar with the phrase? It means, "behold the man."
It is one of the named logical fallacies.
It is THE SOLE FORM OF POLITICAL DISCOURCE IN THE COUNTRY.
<ahem.pardonme>
The President's sex life is a running ad hominem attack. The reason I object is,
The guy in the White House was in violation of a basic principal of our Constitution *while he took the Oath of Office.*
This matters. One of the laws defining the Presidency is, if you're President you can't make ONE THIN DIME OF INCOME FROM FOREIGN KINGS OR PRINCES.
So, while the son-of-a-bitch is befouling somebody's (not mine) Holy Book, he's got Princes of Arabia RENTING LODGING FROM HIM and everyone says, "Hey, I bet he fucked a porn star."
It doesn't matter.
We are, on paper and in popular belief, a nation of laws.
Nope.

Never ever invoke the ire of Gays™️ like this again, you messy rag of a publication.
I am by no means a Britney stan, in that I don’t have an encyclopedic knowledge of her work nor have I seen her perform live. HOWEVER, as a person whose entire adolescent soundtrack included Britney’s hits as they happened in real time, this take is hot festering trash.
First of all, Britney Spears is a world class dancer. Her choreography from her 2002-2004 shows/videos ALONE would leave Taylor Swift collapsed on the floor in rehearsal sobbing and suing everyone in the room.

I can't with this guy...but interestingly, he's also revealing a lot with each one of these interviews.

Why not just go speak to the Grand Jury? Clearly, it's not about avoiding spending more time talking about the investigation and your experience...

He can't help himself..
#NOW: SAM NUNBERG says he was told he wasn't a target or a subject of the investigation and he was OFFERED IMMUNITY by the Special Counsel's team.

He also said THEY WANT HIM TO TESTIFY...TO CATCH ROGER STONE ON PERJURY...

ADMITTING THAT ROGER MAY HAVE LIED TO PROSECUTORS.
#LOL: Save this one...

SAM NUNBERG: "I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL, COME ON."
