I don't like that these companies are getting involved with SMR tech, but I do like that SMR is finally moving towards adoption

tough to reconcile

like with any tech we (as humanity) have had access to, SMR would be great and greatly improve our energy capacity. but these companies jumping in and likely looking to restrict and turn a dollar from otherwise relatively very cheap energy when they're running, is not a good sign.

while this is cool, i am suspicious/skeptical of this service. besides what others have commented on...

  • this is service that manages some user data (names, phone numbers, etc.) so that is in itself a privacy/security risk

  • phone providers can probably tell when you're communicating with/accessing the service

  • if people know you, or know you have this, it can make targetable or your phone confiscated, etc.

  • adds extra time delay potentially, depending on your phone service signal strength. can possible lose more than one is willing if a transaction is bottlenecked by poor phone signal, on top of slow internet from the service-side

  • this as an additional layer against internet outages doesn''t guarantee much. if internet goes out, likely satellites go out too, which would include phone services

my biggest hesitation with this is sharing my personal details with a company that centrally stores everyone's information (to my knowledge based on this video. until i'm shown otherwise)

bitcoin has been sabotaged for a while now, that's my opinion. at least since around 2015. the price action swinging is partly due to the sabotage

monero actually looks to be the way to go. this whole year it has been nothing but solid while almost everything else has been bouncing around

Difference is with how over leveraged everything is today, and with how much more worthless the US dollar has become - A 6% dip can have multiples more negative impacts that the 22% 1987 dip

that's the trick to get you to fall for his offerings

ev - surveillance machine

robots - surveillance machine & enforcer & labour replacement

ai - just another pitfall like all the rest, again surveillance & labour replacement

all his shitposting and memes and "good takes" are just another left-right paradigm theatre performance

it's a tough call

personally i do want a wife and children, but at the same time I know for my ideal situation i'd need to be quite wealthy to live away from the city. and in order to afford time with my children so that I don't leave them in the care of educators

current situation (i.e. the average modern worker-consumer) is not ideal, as i'd be risking my children in the school system, pay taxes to fund programs that are effectively weaponised against me, etc. so it's better to not have children in my mind given the common scenario

i'm still working towards the former and i understand that depending on how long that takes I may or may not be able to start a family, but i'd rather not compromise and end up feeding the beast so to speak

Most of the like minded, smart people I known are only online or live overseas.

Most people in my immediate vicinity are too reduced, in mind body and spirit. So I'm often lowering myself in public to get along so to speak. Even among family, can't be honest & open with any of them. I tried but it usually backfired or was confirmation that nothing can change them

not bad, but in the West real estate is just as rigged i've come to realise (for myself) --- it's just a more elaborate ponzi, and there are so many rules and laws that extract wealth from almost any property gain. so at the very least house for oneself, but no investment properties is my line of thinking at the moment.

i'm in australia and it's quite bad here. taxes and fees on every little thing.

i'm finding when money is made, best to put it in tangible but useful things that one could use for themselves like their own house (not investment property), car, food, tools, alternative currencies, community development, personal development, travel or communication options, etc.

just another day. if you manage to follow GME throughout a trading day, they usually pull this kind of crap the day after a massive pump up

one day last month i was watching it was halted something like 13 times across the entire trading day

yeah i'm well aware. i lived there for 3 years too. if i were to ever move back i'd move somewhere rural. people have somewhat more autonomy outside of the cities when i observed the last time i travelled around. so 2/3 of those problems you pointed out no longer are problems.

Just remember if it happens soon to quickly exchange profits for useful things

My gut feeling is that if it runs and bankrupts a lot of the bigger institutions, the dollar will - either intentionally or not - decline in value rapidly not too long after

On paper it looks like it can run throughout this week and next week with a few slump days in between. The options OI for next Friday look alright

The only wall in the way is criminal shorting, which can happen. Me and a friend are a little skeptical of a squeeze because we've been in it since November 2020. But let's see, could be better this time now that the criminal aspect is more widely understood now

Why didn't the og dutch protestors bulldoze their government buildings already? They were the ones with so much to lose

... This is the consequence of not doing so
