During the Victorian era of the 1800s, Napoleon’s conquest of Egypt threw open the Gates of Egypt’s history for the Europeans. At that time, mummies were not accorded the respect that they deserved from the European elites and in fact, mummies could be purchased from street vendors (as shown in the picture) to be used as the main event for parties and social gatherings that took place in the 18th century.
The elites of the era would often hold “Mummy Unwrapping Parties”, which, as the name suggests, had the main theme in which a Mummy would be unwrapped in front of a boisterous audience, cheering and applauding at the same time. Source: @national_archaeology

Fuck BitPay.
I created early fake users (only 3) to start. I didn't use them much and it was mostly because I was embarrassed to be the only one posting.
We are past this frozen start period. There's enough real activity that there isn't a point to astroturfing. We just need to continue adding more value.
bitlink.money onramps and offramps, gifting and referral system. Lots of new features next week
It examines what made the internet successful, its history, what prevents it from getting better, and how it could get better if it could get better ... as told by "The Architect of the Internet." It's an autobiography of the most significant and successful decentralized computer/communication system ever created.
I probably won't be able to load it from cold memory in detail for the next few hours but here's a google talk around the time of its release from Clark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX-ojw1gLmE ... which is probably a fuller vibe anyway.
you don't even do your homework and expected to be gave sats? 😂😂😂

I launched a 24/7 LoFi radio station, and with some help from the community was able to show real-time data from the mempool.

Next step is to add more data like reachable nodes, sats per USD or the time to next halving.
It could also gradually become a digital sticker wall. Slowly adding more stickers of BTC brands (or small post-its) to the animation :)
I watched Benjamin Button this week for the second time in my life. One quote that resonated with me was this.
“For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.”
Upon reading your post, it reminded me of how young we are in the pursuit of our happiness. I love to see you are going after it, Tony.
I think it has more to do with traders being traders and getting themselves liquidated.
