I met a guy in SF in 2018 who said he had dropped out of college in order to work for a startup to earn money to buy Bitcoin. Bitcoin was at $20K then. I asked if it wasn't at its peak. He said "the right time to buy Bitcoin is always now."
The price collapsed soon afterward.

But it's nearly $70K now.
People that bought Bitcoin early feel like they have escaped the matrix, transcended society, and live among us without being of us
It must be interesting
Send me Bitcoin to this address:

Underneath that feeling is the awareness that It could all evaporate tomorrow
Super naive question, I know, but remind why the currency with the most aircraft carriers backing it up isn't the most stable?
What stops Luca Brasi from putting a gun in your face and demanding your password?
I prefer chatting with Twitter followers to Googling and reading wikipedia; the responses are often witty
Did not know that all transactions are public, guess I need to get a new wallet
If I had bought in 2010 and held on until now...I don't know how I could prevent myself from selling today...

A teacher at a Manhattan private school who questioned whether "individualism" and a "right to comfort" were "characteristics of white supremacy" was accused by the head of school of causing "neurological disturbance in students' beings and systems." nypost.com/2021/04/13/nyc…
This really should not be a hard call.
It's extremely tedious to keep having to say "the insane thing is insane."

I think a lot of polarized online politics are presaged by punk/hardcore/post-punk youth subcultures of the 1980’s and 1990’s
Straightedge, skinhead, riot grrl etc

Remind me who was running the WH when Reagan was incapacitated by dementia in his second term?
Now would be a great time to film an amusing picaresque about Reagan’s second term....
The guy was out to lunch and defeated global communism. Does America continue to benefit from the special providence that god reserves for fools, dunks and the United States of America?

68 percent of the US citizens or permanent residents admitted by Princeton for the class of 2025 “self-identified” as “people of color.”

People who understand the social construction of race are engineering a new elite ethnogenesis: assortative mating at Ivies will create racially mixed elite overclass as remaining legacy and athlete whites mate with "POC" majority
This is "dismantling whiteness" in practice. Soon, K-12 schools will teach majority POC classes that the new locus of American national unity is the POC nation overcoming the remaining influence of Trumpian whiteness

Good post on a medical student named Kieran Bhattacharya who raised some concerns after a micro aggressions seminar and was “subjected to formal censure, repeated psychological evaluations, suspension, and eventual expulsion.”

As I used to say, “cancel culture” was just a means and an expression of a not yet fully unconsummated will to power; now that they have the power to subject someone to psychological evaluation and expulsion for questioning their dogmas, we have moved on to the successor regime
Would be interested in @davidafrench’s thoughts on the post and the lawsuit linked within it
