Learned some new terms in the past few days: Paschal Triduum (3 days from Maundy Thursday to Easter morning) and Spy Wednesday (the day before Maundy Thursday, referring to Judas Iscariot accepting 30 pieces of silver to betray Christ. #Christianity #Easter

Getting ready for Maundy Thursday service. Fun fact, Maundy comes from the Latin mandatum, a mandate or command. During the Last Suppper on Holy Thursday, Jesus commanded the disciples to love one another. Combined with the Mosaic law, Jesus summed the law as love God, and love one another.

I'm happy to say I have almost no clue what any of the terms are in this 4chan hack story. The bottom line: centralized things get hacked, protocols where you control your private keys don't (unless you leak out the keys, then it's on you).

4chan Breach Exposes Internal Chaos, Data in Major Hack by Rival Soyjak Party - Decrypt

A massive breach revealed 4chan's source code, emails, and internal strife, as the controversial imageboard faces a new kind of chaos.

One thing I've noticed AI is way better doing than people is...listening. When I write out a few thoughts or questions, the AI agent acknowledges each item. How many people actually do that. I'm not a Carl Rogers fan of "active listening" fame...listen, nod and say "uh huh," repeat it back, and say, "Did I get that right?" Supposedly builds trust by "showing" listening and empathy, encourages the speaker to continue, because, "Wow, he actually heard what I said!" Sneaky AI tricks.

We often hear the #bitcoin "store of value" narrative, but to what degree are BTC and stocks actually correlated?

Bitcoin vs US Equities Correlation Chart | Newhedge

Bitcoin vs US Equities Correlation is the 30-day rolling correlation between bitcoin price and the s&p 500 index

charts the Pearson (I assume) correlation. Pink is S&P 500, "orange" is BTC, but blue is the correlation. I superimposed a yellow line at zero (wish the chart emphasized the blue line rather than the others because that's the point of the correlation graph). - If positively correlated, blue is above the yellow line...stocks go up, BTC goes up. Stocks go down, BTC goes down. - If negatively correlated, blue is below the yellow line...stocks go up, BTC goes down. Stocks go down, BTC goes up. - If truly NOT correlated, the blue should be near the yellow line at zero...stocks go up, BTC does SOMETHING else. Stocks go down, BTC does SOMETHING else. The negative correlation is the most ideal for the BTC "store of value" narrative that goes like this: "Bitcoin is a safe haven from stock (or fiat) volatility and devaluation. I'll store my value in bitcoin." Looking at the first chart though, we've clearly been in the positive correlation range more than the negative. And, currently we're at a correlation of 0.7 (strong positive). So, work to be done, keep plugging away doing what we do.
