At am inflation rate of 5%, it takes just 14 years for the value of your money to be cut completely in half.

As in, it will literally buy 50% less stuff.

NFA, but you might want to consider getting hard assets now and exiting your collapsing currency.

Not being a coder, yesterday I didn't know CVE's were a tracked and published thing.

It certainly feels like there are 4 times and many hacks/vulnerabilities being unearthed.

Not sure if this is a bad thing short term and good thing long term sort of thing or just a very bad thing. I'm sure coders will put me right.
nothing to see here folks

"Bitcoin arrived as a direct challenge to that power. It is a bearer asset with a fixed issuance schedule, no committee and no indemnity from HM Treasury… Resistance to Bitcoin at the Bank is not a technical footnote. It is institutional self-defence."

So after working for 20 years and climbing the career ladder with a job that has a significant amount of responsibility compare to that of someone on min wage, I’m barely above min. Wage now. What’s the fucking point in working anymore? What are this government doing?

A third of first jobs for under-25s are in hospitality.

Make it dearer to employ them and, well.... 100,000 jobs gone in two years.

Roll on tomorrow. Will they carry on in the same direction?

What will be left for us once @SpaceXSI @AnthropicAI @OpenAI @GeminiApp @MSFTCopilot et al. have gobbled up all the white collar and coding work while the robots have sort all the blue collar stuff?

Human face to face interactions.

Thoughts @grok 🤣
What still resists AI is the experience of being there. The light & noise of a market or shop. The short conversation while a drink is made. The way a place feels when people are sitting with a cup. Those details shape how the coffee is actually received.

For anyone who still thinks that fiat currencies are a good idea.

What was it @saylor said?

"Let me say it another way. People that use fiat currency as a store of value, there's a name for 'em: we call them poor."

Let me spell out what this means for privacy:

Surveillance is hidden all through opaque software. You are never meant to find it.

But AI can decompile, analyze, & expose exactly what your apps are doing.

The age of "trust us" software is ending. Privacy revolution incoming.

I'm 100% convinced that engineers are the only people improving the world.

Not politicians (lol)... not religious leaders... not teachers... not veterans... not activists...

... just engineers.
