Found myself defending gold when talking to a trader. Ouch. I did it on behalf of the hard asset community! And a reaction to the charge that convicted Bitcoiners are too conservative. For them everything is a dollar accumulation trade, even bitcoin. They say gold is a lame duck. No returns worth a dime. I suggested that gold is the enemy of fiat, the asset that traditionally would reveal the failings of fiat. Suppress the dollar price of gold, hide the fiat fraud. If hyperinflation kicks in, gold's past performance will have nothing to do with future returns. Not heard back. Have I got it wrong? Bitcoin is the fastest horse etc etc, but holders of gold surely sleep well too.
Good mate is taking a punt on DOG(bitcoin). Hard to acquire, poor liquidity, air dropped to 75000 degens since when it has done nothing but crash. The to the moon thesis built on being listed on Kraken...He is going through all that to acquire more bitcoin than he can "afford" now. Funniest part of his defence is that he says bitcoiners are too conservative and scared of risk! It's his call.
Stakeout has some great characters and dialogue.
Felices Fiestas.
Is Nostr the killer bitcoin app?
LΓ©on: The Professional (1994)
 LΓ©on. It's got it all. A classic whose title should never be dumbed down to The Professional
A shame he focuses so much on immigration. The govts who have messed up the UK weren't run by immigrants. Who are the high skilled people employing immigrants on below average wage, if not mostly Brits? Who doesn't want to pick potatoes if not Brits? Who charges Brits exorbitant rent, or beats the crap out of Brits at demos not welcomed by the establishment, if not other "upright" Brits? The chickens are coming home to roost after decades of money printing and internal looting on the watch of the British public. So let's blame a minority group for majority group failure? Really? That's a sad response.
