“I know everyone is hating on the Cybertruck, but you’ve got to respect Elon for pushing the boundaries and building something that looks like the future.

No idea what I’ll use it for but just put down my $100 deposit!”
You prob think I’m subtweeting you but I’m not because I’ve seen a hundred of these posts today.
My biggest question is WHO is hating on it? Afaict everyone is loving it.

On this day in 2008 the bitcoin whitepaper was published.

We talk a lot about the technological breakthroughs of that day. But we should also pay attention to the genius of the go-to-market. None of it was accidental...

In fact, as it turns out, many of the technical components of bitcoin had been around for decades. They just hadn't been assembled in quite the right way...

But what had never been done before? Never in the modern era had a new currency, with no government or corporate backing, been introduced and taken mainstream.

I would argue that this was just as big a problem to solve as the double spend problem.

I'm at a conference called #DebtCon3 today talking about the implications of state-issued tokens and how sovereign states might use cryptocurrency.

Yes you read that right... #DebtCon.
Also the game theoretics and credible commitment problems and incentive designs and reputation systems that are taken for granted in the world of sovereign debt have SO MUCH to teach the world of cryptocurrency where every individual / entity is basically a sovereign actor.
We've also got @Kiffmeister here talking about CBDCs (digital representations of fiat currencies).

Much of what cryptocurrency enables comes down to access. Being able to access markets you couldn't otherwise. Being able to access products you otherwise wouldn't have the means to purchase.

In the United States we don't often stop to think about our good fortune to have access to assets that can appreciate in value. But much of the world is locked out of stock markets, bond markets, ETF markets, and the whole world of investment vehicles.

In much of the world your options for what to do with your capital come down to: spend it on goods and services, keep it in your currency, or put it in local real estate. You don't have access to much else. Access to US stocks as an investment option would be a game changer.

Looks like Tesla designed the #Cybertruck with a Playstation 1.
I've seen something before that looks exactly like this and I can't figure out what. I think it was in an old sci-fi movie.
A lot of good ones in the replies and I thought of a bunch of these but none of them made it click in my brain.

Probably. They're so bad at it it's hard to tell though tbh

It's weird, because @ljmontello's affidavit mentions the 2004 (Paragraph 6), 2007 (Paragraphs 7-8), and 2009 (Paragraph 9) conventions

She never claimed to be at Tekko 2010. Why are you lying?

That's just for starters

("Ex parte" is Latin for "from." An ex parte communication is one coming from only one party, not providing any notice to the other party. Basically the opposite of a letter copied to opposing counsel, filed publicly, and served via the electronic filing system.)
It is quite literally impossible to overstate how fantastically dumb Ty Beard's "ex parte" characterization is

To any minimally competent attorney, it screams "this guy doesn't know what he's doing"
JESUS AND PERCY INCLUDED A VERIFICATION, BUT DIDN'T TAKE OUT HIS LIE THAT HE JUST SWORE TO BE TRUE 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

The motion is weak and the basis is LOLable, but my suspicion is that the judge will grant it (though likely for less than 3 weeks)

Defendants will argue the burden is on Plaintiff to show good cause (the motion doesn't do that), plus ongoing harassment

Positive for the Defendants. He gives their attorneys lots of usable material

A good rule of thumb as y'all see an assortment of "bUt ThEy LiEd UnDeR oAtH" tweets from conVics is that they're typically projecting – accusing others of the things they themselves or R.Broly have done

Consider these excerpt from the R.Broly deposition...

#1: I have the right to ask for what I want.
You are allowed to ask. You don't have to mind-read beforehand to make sure the answer will be yes. You don't have to swallow everything you want or like or need. Sure, it's possible the answer will be "no," but you can prepare for that possibility. It's not wrong to ask.
