I have heard so much about @elizableu as of late, and now @RealCandaceO just went in on her. But has anyone who was actually an escort (or pimp) explained any of this? Or has it just been squares?

I was, famously, in the life. I promise Eliza's story is more nuanced. First I want to say that I think Eliza using pull that she had to get people censored for exposing her past is lame.

I also think she is mostly just grifting in terms of her "advocacy"

However I *also* think she was likely "trafficked" based on the legal definition of the word.

For decades I have heard just about everyone complain about dating sites/apps.

The fundamental problem is perverse (no pun intended) incentives.

I'm coming around to the idea that Bitoin (specifically XEC) can fix this 😉

1/ The optimum strategy for men is the "spam approach." There's no cost to attempt to communicate/match with as many women as possible.

This necessarily means that women have what appears to be far more interest than they actually have and can be overwhelmed with contacts

2/

Remember when The Game was promoting unregistered securities?

I'll tell you what this looks like to me:

1. With FTX out if the game, by virtue of their volume and total control over BUSD issuance, Binance is in control of the price of BTC and ETH

2. Binance is wash trading using BUSD to keep the price stable while they short BTC and ETH

Once they have exited their own BTC and ETH positions, into USDT, they will stop the wash trading and the bottom will fall out of the market.

The only way that the price of BTC sitting above $16K after the FTX fiasco makes sense is if some such scenario is taking place.

The second biggest donor to the Democratic Party (after Soros) is running a major cryptocurrency exchange, backed by the biggest VCs, extolling the virtues of crypto regulation.

Exchange is a ponzi and implodes DURING the midterm elections.

Conspiracy theorists? Crickets. This is why I can't get with y'all conspiracy theorist types. You go after the insane ones ("Earth is flat," "space isn't real," "trust the plan") and completely miss the most obvious ones.

The brilliance of Putin's "gas for rubles" order

First, the basics of how it works:

Customers from "unfriendly countries" must purchase natural gas from (state-owned) Gazprom in rubles. If the company doesn't have rubles on hand, it must set up an account at Gazprombank As an example, a German company purchasing gas can fund their account with euros, but Gazprombank will immediately take that EUR and exchange it on the domestic currency market (Moscow Exchange) for rubles. Those rubles are what is available in the account to make the purchase

Russia (along with the other BRICS nations) has an incentive to introduce a global digital currency that can be used anywhere (to export energy)

The West has an incentive to introduce CBDCs at the national level that can only be used within a given economic zone

That's the war As in every war in my lifetime, at the core is the US monopoly on the global reserve currency.

All wars are bankers' wars.

Here is what comes next. Craig and his backers have been planning this for years and they've put the pieces in place.

First, the verdict doesn't establish Craig is Satoshi. It establishes that Bitcoins can be owned and Craig owns Satoshi's coins, according to US govt.

There are other lawsuits outstanding and inbound against BTC, BCH, XEC, and BSV (last one is important) developers forcing them to alter the codebase. The key alteration is one that assigns Satoshi's coins to addresses of Craig's choosing.

Here is what life will look like within 24 months from now if you decide to live under the mark:

- You'll register for the tracking app (likely @clear), giving your biometric data (iris, fingerprint), address, and basically all of your identifying data + #WokePoke proof - There will be a little expiry timer running based on your poke date. Maybe it is 8 months between pokes to start, but it will reduce to 6 months or less between pokes

- So long as you are current, you'll have access to public life. If not, your app goes into restricted mode

Tradition (capital "T") is properly seen as a repository of successful memetic strategies, a proven toolkit. Maintenance of the toolkit requires that Tradition have two components, one Material and one Mystical. Traditions should be judged by these components. The Material component of Tradition is what most people call "tradition." It is the set of prescribed behaviors, rituals, and modes of thinking that present a coherent cultural narrative.

Q. "Why do we do X?"

A. "Tradition!"

All members of society embody this component.

The adoption of @AskTheBMP among at least a subset of the #Bitsheviks is inevitable.

It is a bad idea for actual governance, but a great idea for allowing a moderately competent sociopath propagandist to capture control over the direction of the protocol.

Here's why: The idea behind the Bitcoin Mining Parliament is that you can "poll" miner opinion on just about any question and get back "votes" tied to actual blocks. This is an extension of "miner signaling" that's been used quite a few times in the past, particularly to activate soft forks

The mechanics of the BSV pump is pretty interesting. I've been watching this develop for days.

No one but Calvin is mining BSV. Adding more hash doesn't get him more BSV.

So he deploys hash on BCH a couple weeks ago (unknown miner with like 60%) He then takes the BCH and sells it for Tether.

Then waits for some bullish momentum and starts wash trading BSV/USDT on shady exchanges which currently account for the volume.

He can put in asks all the way up to the price he sold the BCH for and lose nothing.

BSV pumps

I'll just leave this here:

Four people were arrested after this NZ mosque massacre. Watch how the other 3 disappear into the memory hole. That's because they were the state intelligence operatives who organized the shooting and convinced the low IQ shooter to do it.

Watch. Before you say this is a "conspiracy theory"...
