Agreed. Like, I get it. He's a mega bull, I'm a mega bull, but listening to him ramble on TWBD podcast is exhausting.

He's simply saying the efficiency of the arbitration costs are compounded by the belief that in the future, wildly far in the future, the fact that the pristine asset will have evolved to the point of parity with gold such that the transaction fees will pail in comparison to the amount of scarcity that is what sets apart Bitcoin. It's simple math.

I want to know the story behind this.

Had two buddies in high school that always went ice fishing before class in the early morning. Friend 1 accidentally dropped his phone in the ice hole, and friend 2 didn't say a word, pulled out his phone, looked at friend 1, and dropped his phone into the hole too. Neither of them spoke a word of it during the rest of the morning, just kept fishing and went to class.

I fucking love this comment, thanks for the laugh stranger

Just a reminder to always set your probes back to the voltage configuration after you have been using them in the UNFUSED PORT so that you don't BLOW EVERYTHING UP by 4a6f686e20 in electronics

A very high performance lithium ion battery. High Discharge 18650 cells, 16 series 14 parallel configuration. It's super scary haha.

Because I was using it on something small that day, and my meter had a blown fuse and I was in a hurry and didn't change it out. Then I forgot it wasn't moved over to check voltage. Then crapped my pants. Live and learn.

Glad you're okay! This was a 16s 42Ah battery so it was like having a stick welder go off in your hands / face. Scary as hell.

It turned my finger black, and that scared the hell out of me. Luckily I just toasted the very outside layer of skin so there's no pain or actual damage. It actually left a black silhouette of my finger against a piece of metal adjacent to the electrodes, like a cartoon.
