“I had to write all the code before I could convince myself that I could solve every problem, then I wrote the paper." — Satoshi Nakamoto

Even the creator of Bitcoin doubted it would work at first. Only after testing the code, proving the system’s viability did Satoshi share it.

This is a really interesting point in regards to how Satoshi described how he had finished the code prior to publishing the white paper.. .. which for sure if we remember the dates, the white paper was published October 31, 2008, and the first bitcoin was not mined until January 3, 2009.. .. and I am pretty sure there was a decent amount of time between the first and second block too.. since the first block was actually not spendable.. but then the time between the publishing of the white paper, and bitcoin going live on January 3, 2009, and then the time between the first and second block was giving opportunities for others to start to run the code, too.. so that others would be able to mine the earliest of blocks.. which were probably ridiculously easy as compared with how the difficulty of guessing blocks continued to grow thereafter to considerably higher and higher levels.

ARK’s $222 million Bitcoin purchase marks another milestone in institutional adoption. This move not only validates Bitcoin’s role as a long-term asset but could also ignite broader market momentum.

This move is consistent with ARK's strategy of investing in cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, as part of their portfolio management.

Surely, you (El Donado) sound like either a moron or a bot.. .. hahahahahaha.. not that I am jealous.... (#nohomo)

nice pizza and 97 glucose is a nice number too

maybe i missed it but was the crust homemade too?

Yes sir. The crust is homemade. I have bad results with thick crust, so we keep it thin specially for me. Major part of crust is refined wheat flour (مائدہ) which creates spike in blood sugar.

97!? Who said you have diabetes? That's an awesome result.

Results are terrible if I eat pizza or pasta from fast food restaurant. I figured out that I will keep my blood sugar under control if I eat homemade stuff.

I am not convinced that you or anyone else has really explained what is the meaningful and/or significant difference between the kind of crust (or is it the crust or other ingredients) of your own homemade pizzas as compared with pizzas that you might get in restaurants.

Of course, the crust seems to be the main ingredient that would screw with blood sugar .. and surely there could be differing kinds of oils in restaurant pizzas too.. .. or did we hear someone (was it vroom?) who suggested to add sugar in order to help out your pizza? hahahahaha.. sugar was the thing that I thought that we were attempting to moderate when it came to whether some of us might be able to indulge in pizzas from time to time without killing ourselves more quickly than necessary.

Oh gawd... Roll Eyes

What is more bot-like than this above post? I hate to repost it, except to point out its puke-inducing-ability.

I wonder how the wonderful idea of bitcoin got so perverted in at least some (if not 99.99%) of "crypto"?
Is this because of some "influencers"?

I saw a small clip (until I mentally puked) where one of them was claiming with a serious face that because one memecoin is named SPX, it has to go, you heard it, to a similar values as a "real" SPX aka trillions. Huh

Did many earthlings get seriously soft in the head?
The interviewer did not laugh the guy out of the room either.
I am looking at CMC and, my gawd, there are some s-t coin memes that should be worth close to nothing, yet trading above a $1 billion.

This will not end well.
I hope that bitcoin would not be affected, but, typically, it is affected by the overall crash...which is 100% coming, i am sure of it now.
Hoping to be able to get some chips off the table before it happens.
Maybe at 150K or 216K (my favorite number) or whatever.
Not selling now, of course.

Hopefully, guys are not fucking around with sales of their stash that would be in the supra 25%-ish territories?

Personally, I could not imagine selling more than 10%, even if I were to foresee some kind of a possible major correction.. .. I just don't fuck around with trading bitcoin or consider it as a necessity.. but yeah, there is likely a difference when a guy reaches a status of decently overaccumulation and not giving too many fucks about BTC price drops that may or may not happen.

And, I am not even disagreeing with your seemingly overall thesis that shitcoin froth can sometimes contribute for needs to correct such froth that might end up involving king daddy.
