Could be both tho, right? There’s also this: “Ryan Cohen’s tweet saying Kamala 2069 posted on 7/22/24 is exactly 69 days away from 9/29/24 which is the 1 year anniversary of BBBY’s Plan Effective Date being 9/29/23.” (from AvailableWerewolf600 on Reddit). Seems like that would line up.

Starting to believe the shell may not be so empty after all, but pretty sure they’ll either be buying, or just paying infinite rents. :-)

Thanks, RC! Guess the Jacques Tits / blockchain clue was worth checking out after all. :-)

Thanks Dad!

Timely reminder, DRS = “Not your coins, not your crypto.” Coinbase founder dumped 100% of holdings, and if they go down, crypto assets they hold wind up in the bankruptcy. Chickens are coming home to roost: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1732c08/sbf_testimony_matt_huang_paradigm_a_crypto/

Don’t think RC’s are gonna write in a Teddy book “watch out for electric coin centralized exchange ponzi pump n’ dump” and “be careful when Coinbase founder dumps 100% of holdings leaving households as bag holders.” He’s a pretty subtle guy. DFV knew. Not your coins, not your crypto. Also DRS.

“Debunking” LOL

Mossy doesn’t want this seen, wonder why…

Mossy doesn’t want this seen, wonder why…

So… I take it your answer is “no” to the whole helping-dig thing. No worries :-)

Whoa there, no blunder here. Why the lecturing tone? You can indeed follow links from Tits’ wikipedia page right on through to the link that includes PKC and Bitcoin, so writing a paragraph to imply I’m unaware of that only outs yourself. I use public keys in my day job, as one does, but thanks for the attempt at education. Gamestop hasn’t “abandoned” their technology, as far as anyone publicly knows. As you say, we must wait to see “whatever comes after.” GS only canceled the first implementation of the NFT marketplace, we all know that, but what and how that tech may be utilized in the future is unknown. Why spout off at a post inviting folks to dig deeper into an RC-hinted name, when we find one that is DEEP into cryptography? Do you not want us digging? Fortunately, we don’t need permission to do that. RC is a puzzle master and that’s how this game has been played, and I’ve been in it for 84 3.5 years now. And btw, I noted my cross-posting in the above post itself, because it’s a thing one does. Cheers.

I’d agree, definitely interesting. Anyone know if GameInformer usually covers/publicizes these kinds of promotional talks by large firms like Microsoft? It’d seem more significant if it was odd for them to cover it. I don’t read the mag (but prolly should, lol).

Thanks, good to consider. A couple more thoughts: 1) they can’t ALL be shills, right? :-) 2) 84 years ago, we joked about “weaponized autism” being the feature most dangerous to SHFs. Some of that is real - obsessiveness can be quite powerful - but it’s also important to look out for each other, as you say. However, there’s only so far an online community can go in that regard. 3) I’ve read Edwin’s most-recent DD being referenced here, and I don’t find it out-of-line with his previous work, really. Yes, he uses catch phrases like “do your own research” that have stronger meanings in other communities, but his foil has always been “beyond” most of our other folks, and I don’t see him as lost or at-risk here. I also ignore politics, since I doubt most of us would agree on that topic anyway. Now, if Edwin’s posts from Dr Eyeball were proven to be sus - or fabricated - I’d agree he’s jumped the shark. But taken at face value, eyeball’s comments do seem to be an attempt to assert control over several key subs by one individual, which would obviously be a danger to those communities. Since we mostly seem to support decentralization n’ all (lol).

I suggest we all be very careful about calling anyone names, or suggesting they’re mentally ill; or, even as Michael did the other night, repeatedly call someone stupid who was being mostly reasonable on the ppshow. The guy didn’t even attack RC, as the pp team claimed; he just said he supported the little people and didn’t care about billionaires, which I understood to mean “billionaires can take care of themselves.” Which is 100% true. I’m a very loyal guy, but when someone’s resources so outweigh those of most others here (presumably), I’d agree they can take care of themselves. I think RC and Pulte do a lot of good in the world, but remember, Pulte called RC a shark at the Florida gig, and we should always remember that idealizing mere humans will nearly always result in a let-down at some point.

The pressure is on rn. Don’t take anything personally. As RC said, “words can never hurt us.”

Yes, there’s a LOT more in this book - the chaos and efforts to solve the three-body problem, plus SETI, military and police action, human relations - very dense but enjoyable. The statements I noted above stood out for me, but I imagine there are many more others might notice. Crowd-sourced research has been a very entertaining part of my last 3 years.

But- can we please also get the album NFT? I like both theories!

Would you believe “soonish”…? 🙃

I’d say for the last couple of years, Larry Cheng’s basically been giving a master class on entrepreneurship and business management to a bunch of future millionaires.
