🧠 Because they'd agreed to not to share drinks for fear of contamination. Kurt Russell offers Keith David whiskey, and Keith should've rejected it as possibly contaminated. Instead he just drinks it because the Thing doesn't know about the agreement.
That's why Kurt smiles (it gave itself away) and the Thing's theme song starts playing immediately. Then it goes to black...
Interested. I don't often speak about bitcoin directly, but we discuss economics, inflation and monetary policy a lot—always critically, always with serious critiques of how idiotic the present system is, and how destructive inflation is.
As a result, two of them were reading Saifedean's book, and one of those also read your book Jimmy. A third I suspect has already been DCAing without mentioning it to me.
I didn't tell them to do shit. We operate purely on the power of bitching over here 💪
There's 39 comments, so I did a Ctrl-F search assuming the Ride of the Rohirrim from the Return of the King had obviously already been mentioned.
Am processing my disappointment in SNers right now 😐
Don't use Shit-Twitter so I hadn't seen the disarming video. Seriously impressive balls on that guy.
As for not being an organic attack... yea almost certainly not. Spreading chaos benefits many people, just not us.
You know Keith David was the Thing at the end, right?
(It took me like 20 years to figure this out so now I always talk about it when I see the movie mentioned)

This is worthwhile research. Suggest you compile some of what you find here and the sources.
Lol.
Writing "the great Bitcoin novel" is certainly a nice aspiration, but actually naming your novel that wouldn't work out. Imagine Dostoevsky naming Crime and Punishment, "The Great Russian Novel." It'd be more than a little presumptuous.
Appreciate it — that's actually very helpful and I'm sure one (or more) of those is the thing I'm fucking up. I'll troubleshoot it this afternoon & update 🫡
Still new to Zeus and learning the ropes. Today I'm wondering:
Why do some on-chain --> LN swaps sometimes fail on Zeus? I've already done several in the past successfully, but today I've twice gotten "Invoice failed to pay" messages and had to refund. It feels random.
"Yes I love Bitcoin. Oh nah, I haven't been here long at all. Fact I only just started my DCA a few months ago—yes, right before the crash in October. Yea I really don't have very much at all, but Moon soon, right? hahaha. 😆 Good seeing you again pal, see you around!
(Then never see him again after this)
Europe needs to get to Argentina-level desperation before any country here can get a Milei-like character.
Man I hope it's good. Fountain is one of those projects I want to be awesome and have been rooting for—it hasn't been awesome so far, but I believe 🙏
Speak for yourself, America—I listen to economists all the time! I suppose it just matters which ones.
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B
Yes, it's in the hands of the people, and the people are stupid, gullible, credulous, greedy, lazy, and apathetic as long as NGU abides.
But I don't think that's as fatal of a flaw as others, since I also believe in Providence guiding the general retardation toward the good. Call it a superstition!
Well you know what they say: a prosecutor can charge a man with anything at all, even tying his shoes wrong. Wake me up when he's actually doing time for this obviously Constitutionally protected activity.
(No really, wake me up; I'm not confident the Constitution will protect him)
You think Wasabi Wallet is worth learning? I noticed your guides focus mainly on building a payments infrastructure that anonymizes through Lightning rather than fuddling about with mixers.
