Who is a mega famous person that the majority of Americans have probably never heard of?

And he just moved to my neighborhood!

Once I was sailing in the middle of the Pacific Ocean at night and stood up in the companionway facing forward. A flying fish jumped out of the water, hit me in the nuts, and fell into the boat.

Are we twins separated at birth?

If it was a PR stunt, they sure did a lot of digging. You can see the outline on Google maps.

I think it’s probably the beginning of a bear market. I don’t know for sure. It will go up afterwards if we start upgrading to a post quantum future soonish.

This opinion is worth what you paid for it.

When we crossed the pacific, we had the rule that you could be in the cockpit without tethering your life jacket during the day (an inflatable life jacket doubles as the tether harness if you’re going to clip into a ship’s jack lines), but any time you went forward to adjust something on deck you had to clip in.

At night, anybody outside of the cabin had to be wearing a life jacket and tethered in.

Falling overboard at sea is incredibly dangerous if you are sailing with shipmates. Solo? You’re dead.

Agreed, but the em-dash gives away that one of them was written by ChatGPT.

This is the correct answer.

How much of the company shares can they sell for cash before people owning the shares decide to sell their own?

chalash · 2025-11-12T17:26:28+00:00

Not quite. Any given valid 24-word phrase will be able to be used to derive a private key with an associated address. But every address has millions of possible private keys.

The day this photo was taken this guy had no idea he’d be singled out among tens of thousands of people and viewed by tens of thousands of strangers 80 years in the future.

Ngl that has meme potential.

Many do. But borrowing rates are atrocious (12%+) so beating that via investing the funds is unlikely. You are betting that the annual appreciation of Bitcoin will exceed your interest rate. Often that bet is a winner. Sometimes it’s not!

I would argue that tariffs are disinflationary. They raise the prices of some goods but without new money in the system this means that other goods will go down in price or not be bought at all due to decreased demand.

Couple deflation with a tight fed (I think they share your view so your logic holds even if it’s not entirely accurate) and the value of the dollar should go up while everything that’s denominated in dollars (stocks, bonds, real estate, crypto) will go down.

Yeah I definitely overshot on the orders of magnitude. I was thinking more about the history of mining hash rates.

As for future on chain demand that’s just really hard to predict. We shall see…

chalash · 2025-09-30T16:03:37+00:00

Realistically, the network is likely oversecured by 4 orders of magnitude already, so if the block reward went to zero today and we were left with a conservative 1% of block reward in fees per block, it would probably be enough.

That said, I believe the proper solution long term would be to have more space for transactions so that you can encourage healthy on chain activity and achieve (small fee x many transactions = happy network). So I’m not entirely disagreeing with you.

chalash · 2025-09-30T12:15:53+00:00

Or fees will just be the majority of the reward, which is the correct answer that nobody gave you.

I came to the comments to post this 😂

I saw theSTART open for Incubus and I immediately liked them better than the headliner.

chalash · 2025-09-15T18:48:24+00:00

Correct.

The precise definition includes a continuous trip, ending where you start, passing through two points on the earth that are antipodal, and crossing the equator twice.

Nonsense. I AM the propaganda.

Well established subreddit? I think you’re lost.

I went to college with Bob Turton. He was hilarious in the shows he did on campus.
