Okay I think I’m gonna change my account to be less of a reply guy and more about coffee and Bitcoin.

Strategic grift reserve

GN The Bear is the best series on TV right now.

Hanging out @Bitcoin Well Edmonton today cooking up ideas.

Ladies and gentlemen, your financial system:

We don’t “already use digital money”. We use a spaghetti mess of antiquated systems duct-taped together of each other protected by monopolies and regulatory capture. Bank drafts in Canada provide zero advantage to a personal cheque and are subject to the same hold time (5 business days) Domestic wires take about 2-3 business days. There is no way for an individual to transfer large amounts of funds (~$20,000+) without two days settlement. In twenty twenty fucking five…… This is what we’re competing against 😂

I actually expected to be able to buy cheap sats in this scenario but I guess not.

I’m generally opposed to severe non-violent prison time, but it seems like consensus is that Ross’ sentence was disproportionately harsh and #FreeRoss day 1 is obviously the right thing. I’m skeptical. Similar cases (e.g., Le Roux) have received comparable sentences (life without parole). Reducing or going straight to parole might make sense, but a free pass based on time served might be an overcorrection. Bitcoiners argue he advanced BTC viability and he’s a hero for this, which I don’t disagree with, but these contributions don’t erase wrongdoing in the eyes of the law. Thoughts??
