More than two years after this model was published, the price continues to track the model's predictions with astonishing precision.
The price of bitcoin can be anywhere between $0 and $100m. That it continues to remain within the one standard deviation band of the model's predictions for more than 2 years is about as likely to happen randomly as someone correctly guessing a private key.
The one standard deviation band is around $40,000 wide. The odds of the price being there randomly on any given day is ~40k/100m, or 0.04%.

The odds of it being in that band randomly for 800 days in a row is 0.0004 ^ 800 = 4.4 E-2719.

That's 0. (2719 zeros) 4.

Impossibly tiny.
It's very easy (and meaningless) to say "correlation is not causation".

It's very difficult to explain how this statistical impossibility keeps holding, even as it becomes less likely with every passing day. It's even more difficult to make a model with a better track record.

Olive oil is a historically insignificant part of mediterranean diets, which rely heavily on animal fats. It had non-dietary uses mainly, only being eaten by the destitute who couldn't afford animal fats

The idea that Mediterraneans based their diet on olive oil is a scam promoted by Harvard & their industrial junk sponsors, to help sell high margin industrial plant oils, as detailed in the excellent @bigfatsurprise: ImageImage
Traditional Mediterranean diets, like all human diets, are based on animal fats.

It's hilarious that modern Meds believe what Harvard tells them their ancestors ate. If their ancestors saw them cooking in olive oil, they'd think they're destitute.

Nassim Nicholas Tantrum has gone from endorsing my book to obsessively insulting me in public without once making any reference to my work.

Why?

Because I refused to join him on his insane cowardly hysterical crusade to shut down the planet with his friends at the WEF.
I was typing him a private message politely explaining to him why his "Precautionary Principle" is such a dumb idea.

He responded by blocking me, insulting me in public & then flat-out lying about why he did it the very next day.
It was the biggest mistake of my career to associate with this lying fraud. We were distant friends when he volunteered to send my book to a publisher & write the foreword. He submit his foreword without reading the book, at the very last minute, when it was too late to change it

Bitcoin is a life raft, & it's already saved millions worldwide from inflation & poverty.

If your only contribution to a working life raft is to disparage it based on some theories you learned in university, you are a despicable shit.

Make something better or fuck off forever.
Don't like that bitcoin is too volatile?

Do you have a universally accessible asset appreciating at 200%/year with lower volatility to offer as an alternative to people in Lebanon, Venezuela & Turkey?

You don't, which makes you just another despicable central bank cheer-leader.
Bitcoin isn't competing against theories taught by central banks & fiat universities. It's competing against central banks' actual inflationary moneys.

If you're disparaging voluntary bitcoin based on theories, you're promoting central bankers' inflationary slave scrip.

Libertarianism is against coercion, not collective action. People can act collectively without coercing each other. Individualism means sovereign choice, it doesn't mean not taking part in peaceful collective activities.

Do thinkbois also think libertarians oppose team sports?
Authoritarians like @EricRWeinstein don't get the distinction between collective & coercive action because their ideas are so bad they can only get others to join them by coercion.

They'd be far less authoritarian if they tried having good & useful ideas others want to join.
Protip:

Don't critique libertarianism before you've at least read The Ethics of Liberty by Rothbard, or you'll end up exposing yourself as a shallow authoritarian thinkboi critiquing your fiat university's stupid propaganda caricature of libertarianism.

The biggest problem fiat brains have with bitcoin is that they think it needs to win an intellectual argument against their stupid fiat theories to succeed.

It doesn't.

It just needs to keep going up in value & all your fiat theories are irrelevant noise powerless to stop it.
"money is not supposed to be volatile"
"money is supposed to conform with this economic theory"
"money needs X but bitcoin doesn't have it"

As long as bitcoin's price goes up, all of this is bitter irrelevant stupid noises of losers whose investments can't outperform bitcoin.
All your preconceived notions about money and economics come from fiat voodoo economists licking the boot of their government paymaster.

It is not holy scripture & bitcoin will completely destroy these idiotic models & the livelihood of the fiat hucksters who popularize them.

Being fat not only increases your risk of serious covid complications, it also makes you more likely to transmit it to others.

Instead of demanding to force healthy people at 0 risk to carry vaccine passports, why don't you first try not being fat?
pnas.org/content/118/8/…
The rationale behind all the hysterics' assaults on healthy people has been that they could potentially transmit viruses.

Yet the same fat pharma-funded public health criminals will never mention anything about obesity because the goal is power, not health.
Can any of the coronahysterics make a coherent argument for why restricting the freedom of fat people at high risk from illness & transmission is wrong, but restricting the freedom of all people, including those at very low risk of transmission, is ok?
