You're fuckin delusional is what you are, and Cardano and Bitcoin are sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.

This is a strange paragraph. You seem to be indicating that the level of “crazy” or risk somehow implies the decision is more valid or correct. Like “why else would they do that, man??!!? It is too much of a risk for it to not be a big deal and real!” That’s me putting words in your mouth, but you get the idea. Y’all have hashed this out that it’s interesting enough.

The idea is why would a nation state make such a seemingly irrational decision unless they had a strong incentive to do so? Maybe you could argue that they're just stupid, but then again, maybe they know something you dont. There is an answer but I get tired of beating the same drum here

It's not that they're stupid, it's that they're corrupt. You can tell this because they're fuckin rich, and their country is a total shithole. Yeah, they have a strong incentive to not tax themselves and their buddies on Bitcoin->fiat swaps, it's not good for the nation.

El Salvador making bitcoin legal tender allows the cartels and gangs to spend their money with fewer steps. El Salvador will become a clearing house for illegal activity even more than it already is.
All that crap about doing it for the little guy is narcissistic bullshit with a hint of truth. The powerful and rich in those countries want to legitimize their activity.

Costa rica is about 100% humidity 99% of the year and full of hippies who have been sweating way more than normal. And bot flies are common. It's literally a nightmare land to me. I'd rather live in el salvador, and about the nicest thing I can say about el salvador is its not costa rica.

First major update to Bitcoin since 2017. Speedy trial seems to have been an effective compromise between miners and node users. Hopefully this will translate into faster upgrades in the future as the sting of the blocksize wars fades a bit.

So i find investing in BTC to be pretty relaxing so far. I set my limit order to buy at the bottom of the trough and check once a day to see if it filled. Easy Peasy Japanesey.

I've got the same 3, plus VET (which I think is gonna do very well and the buy-in is low now). I was asking about TrueBit going up or down, not because I'm worried about anything short-term, but because the next thing to grab more of is that and I'm hoping it goes down a bit more.
Completely in set it and forget it mode here. Trading was stressful and the profit I made was greatly diminished by the Great Reuters Crash. Could have made huge gains by selling right before that, but it was the one week I chose to just leave everything alone. So now I just leave everything alone all the time except to buy.

Dunno, I'm considering a move to Florida to avoid income tax and capital gains taxes. ...and also to have sane leadership.
My current representative in Congress is one of those ladies who actively encouraged riots, which is nice

Jack Dorsey is very smart.
He invests a lot of his time and money into developing Square into a better platform, because he knows it is very valuable.
He invests basically nothing into improving Twitter, because he knows it is inherently worthless.

I need to make a trip to Costa Rica sooner or later for dental work. I'm doing the invisalign thing (it sucks) for another year or so and then I need to get down to CR to get a couple dental implants done (less than half the price of U.S. implants and the same quality, I've been told). Like even with flight and hotel costs you're spending half as much as if you get it done here.
I'll be there for about a week and while I'm there I'm gonna troll Costa Rican Tinder for honeys. 10% chance I get drugged and robbed Cardi B style, but I'll roll the dice.
