What happens to the existing Loop elevated tracks? Elevated pedways? It took me a moment to realize the missing loops, but itโ€™s growing on me.

Broken wind and leg maybe. I apologized to it, lightly petted its back while doing so; it stopped trying to escape (because I wasnโ€™t trying to eat it?!?), and then came back inside. Feathers on the floor. Cat is pissed at me looking for the bird. I feel bad for both of them.

Happy Friday!!

I usually leave my balcony door (and screen door) slightly ajar in the mornings so my cat can get some fresh air.
Iโ€™m on a work call, and hear some heaving breathing in the kitchen. He CAUGHT A BIRD and was TAUNTING it under the kitchen table. I took the bird outside, and set it on the groundโ€ฆ

Ha yes that makes sense. Thankfully itโ€™s just 0s and 1s because I donโ€™t think he can count much higher.

Probably the XRP gang ๐Ÿคญ. Itโ€™s sad that it is becoming polarized by politics.

Iโ€™ve noticed that but unsure why that is. Bots or trolls?

What? First, bitcoin isnโ€™t his. Second, he cannot control bitcoin. Third, I believe you are mistakenly confusing bitcoin with some of the crypto coins that Trump has been promoting like the Trump coin. Those other coins are SCAMs. They provide a utility to take your money. Therein lies the con.

You can also earn it rather than buying it โœŒ๏ธ

One of the challenges of being pro-bitcoin is getting lumped into the โ€œTrump bucketโ€. I know you said โ€œlargelyโ€ but itโ€™s still annoying af.

Also, not afraid of powerful governments; only the people controlling the money. โœŒ๏ธ

Ponzi assumes intent to defraud. The open source code running Bitcoin is not, by definition, a Ponzi. There are โ€œcoinsโ€ out there that will attempt it though.

It wonโ€™t earn him bitcoin. Itโ€™ll earn him something else though (I agree with you.)

Do you think people can still access those wallets or old .dat files?

Do you really think itโ€™s centralized / concentrated between a 2% user base?

The biggest test is when MSTR will be margin called. Not an OG whale selling their stack to the ETF providers.
