I was supposed to watch this one 7 years ago, but then procrastination happened. So tonight is the night! 🍿🎥

A small batch of gum I'm developing. I definitely guessed wrong on mold side, they need to be about 2-3 times larger. I ingredient I'll forage myself. The other 2 ingredients I'll procure with btc through vendors here on nostr.

Decentralization shifts power from the few to the many, replacing single points of failure with resilient networks built on shared consensus.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Have you ever considered that your chair might be the most stoically depressed being in your home? There it sits, day after day, supporting your weight while silently contemplating its purpose in life. 😁

Have you seen the new cards from Revolut? Word on the street is that it now displays what it thinks of your balance in real time. Mine has obviously been mocking me since I got it.

The notifications have gotten personal too. "Balance Update: Still disappointing your parents."

Remember when we had Bitcoin podcasts with Bitcoiners talking about Bitcoin stuff? Good times!

Now we mostly get wall street podcasts with a Bitcoin logo.

Wer wie ein Schwachkopf aussieht und Schwachsinn redet ist wahrscheinlich auch ein Schwachkopf. It's a trend in Germany.

Procrastination is my form of creative expression. It’s like a game against the clock, every damn time!

I told you that the tariff madness would turn into madness 🤷‍♂️

For a country that is relaying vastly on imports those tariffs are a very bold move and no, you wont bring entire industries back to the US in a matter of months, not even years. This is the USA's dependency on foreign trade and commerce in a nutshell.

From 30 days ago:

1. Higher Prices for Consumers Since most importers will pass the increased tariff costs onto consumers, everyday goods will become more expensive. This includes products such as automobiles, electronics, household appliances, clothing, and food items that rely on imported materials or are directly imported from these countries.

Mexican and Canadian Imports (25% Tariff): These nations are major trading partners, supplying a significant portion of cars, auto parts, agricultural products (like fruits, vegetables, and meat), and industrial goods. Consumers can expect price hikes in grocery stores, auto dealerships, and retail stores.

Chinese Imports (Tariffs Rising from 10% to 20%): China is a key supplier of electronics, textiles, machinery, and manufactured goods. Higher tariffs on Chinese imports will make items such as smartphones, computers, and home goods more expensive.

2. Increased Costs for Businesses and Job Market Impact Many U.S. businesses depend on raw materials and components from these countries to manufacture their products. Higher costs will force companies to either raise prices, reduce profit margins, or cut costs elsewhere, which could lead to:

Job cuts or hiring freezes as businesses try to offset rising costs.

Production slowdowns in industries like automotive, construction, and consumer electronics.

3. Inflationary Pressures With higher costs on imported goods, inflation is likely to rise. As companies adjust prices, the overall cost of living in the U.S. will increase, reducing the purchasing power of consumers. The Federal Reserve may respond with higher interest rates to combat inflation, making loans and mortgages more expensive.

4. Retaliation and Trade War Risks The European Union and France have already expressed concerns, which could signal potential retaliatory tariffs. If Mexico, Canada, China, or the EU impose their own tariffs on U.S. exports, American farmers, manufacturers, and exporters could face declining sales, leading to job losses in export-dependent industries such as agriculture and manufacturing.

5. Stock Market Volatility and Economic Uncertainty Financial markets react negatively to trade tensions. The sharp declines in European markets suggest global instability, which could spill over into U.S. markets. Investors may pull back from stocks, reducing market confidence and potentially impacting retirement funds (401(k)s) and investment portfolios.
