good article about bitcoin. I think the author's objective isn't to talk down or throw cold water on bitcoin, but instead, highlighting legitimate issues that are pertinent risks that should be looked at, objectively. https://medium.com/@Crypto.Doc/bitcoins-hidden-vulnerability-the-flaw-that-could-crash-it-all-04c09013f04b #bitcoin #crypto #blockchain #finance

A very good list of scams where fake investors, VCs, "family offices", fund managers (collectively, the clowns that pretend to use their own monopoly money) use to make money off ill-informed founders, start-ups and businesses. be informed, be safe. #money #investment #finance #bitcoin #crypto #blockchain
this is a nicely made relaxing and upbeat performance with a fantastic island view (Sabah, Malaysia)

the photo you see below, is the method of using liquid tin to extract minerals and metals from seawater desalination brine, at a competitive cost-performance ratio that is a lot better than (1) electrodialysis (this consumes a lot of electricity), (2) absorbents (which causes discharge and pollution). note the solubility of Mg, Na, K, Ca metals in Sn (Tin) at the target temperature (573K). when it comes to extraction of uranium from the oceans, using this method, will be thermodynamically challenging at the same temperature range, to which a more nauced analysis should first be undertaken. the 2007 article titled "Review of uranyl mineral solubility measurements", in particular page 339 equation 2. a more elegant (but much slower) method is the passive polymer-matrix, to which the same above document is useful, in particular page 344 plot figure 1 and reference table no. 2 is useful. this study (JPN20004) was funded by NEDO and supported by JST Spring, Japan Grant Number JPMJSP2180, JPMJSP2106. https://iwaponline.com/jwrd/article/15/1/109/107206/Liquid-metal-technology-for-collection-of-metal 📄.pdf image
this is what I needed, to remind me WTF i'm doing. bravo. image
Part 4 and 7 if done right will set a market reference value for bitcoin. many do not realize how crucial this is, in addition to expanding the demand curve beyond capital appreciation. Part 6 is where you will be able to determine who (issuers) are the (a) scam fks, (b) criminals in suits, (c) real projects. Part 3 - the entire point of bitcoin is to cause governments to realize that if they fk around too much, money will move to decentralized assets. this is the balls shrink effect / influence that is the underlying real core of what bitcoin is. Part 5 - be careful of the prevailing mantra to stock up on bitcoin and sit and wait for havings and transaction processing income, because the reason why the likes of Blackrock is accumulating BTC is to ride on this mantra within the bitcoin use base and liquidate at the right trading window. demand is a very powerful economic factor to providing market reference value for an asset, digital, real-world, whatever. When the US Dollar peg to gold was removed in 1971, it was the demand created by the 1973 PetroDollar deal with Saudi Arabia that created this market reference value. DO NOT take my word for it. VERIFY the facts and run it through whatever AI tools you have to get a NON-BIAS perspective/analysis. View quoted note →
