GM ☕ Thought for the day:
Politicians don't make Bitcoin relevant.
Bitcoin makes politicians irrelevant.
Cypherpunks make Bitcoin.
Be a cypherpunk, ignore the politicians.
If it matters what politician is in office or what bureaucratic "regulations" get imposed, then Bitcoin has already failed.
Focusing on number go up, centralized exchanges to fiat, and political lobbying is not a path to separating money from state or gaining freedom from economic censorship.
Bitcoin works because it is dependent on the laws of physics and number theory, not the laws of men and women.
If whether a former or a current US president attends a bitcoin conference has any impact on bitcoin or the "community" around it, we have strayed far, far away from the path my friends.
Nice. I just imaged a hard drive I pulled from a laptop I decommissioned over 10 years ago. Imported it into a #proxmox VM as a ZFS volume, and it booted up just as if it didn't know it was in the matrix.
Feels like magic, but I'm just catching up to the present.
You fresh and shiny young pups are going to laugh at this old dude, but when I first came to Silicon Valley in the early 90s to work at a networking company, the most common desktop NIC was 10Mbs twisted-pair Ethernet, and 100Mbps was the hot stuff to upgrade to.
Now, 30+ years later, I'm sitting here upgrading my lab to 10Gbs everything, and wondering if it will be fast enough.
