One of my twitter mutuals recently posted this tweet: The Alberta legislature recently ran a short essay contest for young women aged 17-25. The results page has been taken down and many bees placed in bonnets because of the third place essay. So as this chap is interested in many of the same issues that … Read more
Yeah, yeah, I know he’s apparently the most successful person in the space, but that doesn’t change my contempt for him. This won’t be a long post, it is mainly just an additional follow up on a comment made in the post I did last week: To which I responded: “As I said, this is … Read more
It has been a while since I’ve done a post and a lot has happened since the last one I did on crypto back before Christmas “Crypto Lending and why you should stay the fuck away from it…” (I’ve opened it back up if anyone wants to take another look). Taking a look at what … Read more
After reading up on the fascinating price moves of Nickle on T’s Nickle post the other day, it reminded me of a trading phenonium observed fairly frequently within the crypto world – the Bartman! The above images taken this morning when I began typing this out Sat, 12 March 12:18pm. It is functionally a basic … Read more
Is it just me or as DLS ages is he increasingly transforming from a polemic ‘veteran radical centrist’ to a menopausal woman? Far from being the razor sharp observations stabbing at the heart of our political hubris that drives ALL the players in our politco-media-developer economy, DLS’s political rants bear an increasing resemblance to shrill … Read more
Interesting article on bloomberg: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-01-11/repeat-booster-shots-risk-overloading-immune-system-ema-says But I wonder why they could be running with the above story now? Could it be because of this? “This hospitalisation was necessary because of a serious complication due to a dysfunction of the immune system,” the statement said. “As a result, all official activities of the President of the … Read more
Recently I’ve started to see advertisements for Crypto lending products, where you basically ‘loan’ your BTC to some crypto broker and they pay you a yield for the privileges of borrowing your HODL, with enticing offerings of up to 4% or 5%, which is pretty attractive when you are zero bound. Unfortunately what you are … Read more
Caught this article by Leith this morning on the Grattan Institute, “Gridlock: Removing barriers to policy reform”, which argues that Australia’s prosperity is at risk from a decade-plus of decay across our political institutions. Leith as well as the Grattan Institute make the mistake of only looking at the first derivative of our social decay, … Read more
Not the BSV article I was going to post a week or so back (gotten lazy and haven’t finished it off). This is just a link to someone else’s work. A couple weeks back I wrote ‘UTXO and Other Blockchains‘ and mainly expanded on the difference between UTXO and ‘State’ based blockchains, and touched on … Read more
EZFKA – or the Economic Zone Formally Known as Australia is a conceptual framework for looking at the post modern economies of Australia and indeed the rest of the West: “Face facts, we no longer live in a society and nation by the name of Australia – we now live in the ‘Economic Zone Formally … Read more
The other week on the ‘Binance thread post, in the comments section T made a request that I expand on and describe some other blockchains: “Hey mate can you do something on the more interesting tech type coins. So thinking Cardano vs ETH, or Helium, or Theta coin etc. The ones where there is purpotedly … Read more
Warning this is completely unrelated to anything economic, bitcoin or outside the Overton window – this is a self indulgent journey into nerdy 1980’s nostalgia. Anyone who is not GenX would probably not be aware or know of any other age of the personal computer other than the era of the PC. But way back … Read more
