There are 21M bitcoin with like 4M lost forever so call it 17M for discussion purposes.
There are infinite synthetic bitcoin created and settled by the CME (Chicago Merchantile Exchange) every day.
NO BITCOIN ARE BOUGHT OR SOLD EVER. NO BITCOIN ARE HELD BY CME.
HERE IS THE KICKER - THERE ARE 100's of Exchanges that offer synthetic products around the world. That equates to 1000's of contracts and 100's of billions of dollars of volume.
ALL NEVER TOUCHING THE 21M Supply. Never changing the spot price. Only putting sell or buy pressure by observational volume.
This killed the momentum of bitcoin, i'm just the only one talking about it.

Everybody in America should just register as an Independent voter. If the psychos in DC don't know which "side" you're on they won't know how to manipulate and divide us. It would confuse and throw off the whole system.

Let's talk about the fat.
Not the lean bit. The fat. The white seam running through a rib-eye that you've been told to cut off, trim away, render out, discard. The fat that gets removed before the nutrition label is calculated so the numbers look better. The fat that every chef from Escoffier to your nan's Sunday roast knew was the point.
That fat is oleic acid: the same fat in olive oil, which has a Mediterranean diet named after it and a documentary about it and a very successful PR campaign that has been running since approximately 1990.
That fat is stearic acid: which is neutral on LDL cholesterol, raises HDL, and is so non-threatening that even the most nervous cardiologist struggles to find fault with it.
That fat is the carrier for vitamins A, D, E, and K: the fat-soluble vitamins, which are called fat-soluble because they require fat to be absorbed, which means eating the lean version of the meat and wondering why you feel nothing is a metabolic irony of the highest order.
The fat is not the problem.
The fat was never the problem.
The fat is, in fact, quite significantly the point.
Stop cutting it off.

One of my favorite human traits is when someone sees the moon and immediately feels the need to tell someone else to go look at it.

Going about his business, not destroying the planet…
Well managed beef cattle are eco-system engineers.
It was warm in the sun today; that produces more sugar in the plants on the farm.
About 10cm underground the soil temperature was 8°c; that promotes biological activity.
Spring is in the air!
Eat real red meat and animal fat; buy the best you can.

I see the elephant in the room is starting to get noticed.
The heartland conventional industrial farmer is a mighty destructive force.
They are genuine good people don't get me wrong. But the last 100 years of farming practices and science has been a masterclass in shortsightedness, human nature, and pure greed and corruption.
The corn you see is not for eating. It's for biofuels. The Midwest farmers are HEAVILY subsidized to grow more and strictly this kind of corn. Most farming revolves around this. Soy is planted to try to partially undo the soil damage done by said corn. So now you need somewhere to go with the soy so now soy is in everything, again subsidized.
Soils are not designed to have just one kind of plant sucking a ridiculous amount of nutrients out of it in a short amount of time and then left bare during winter only to be turned over and exposed to air and sun where it shouldn't be and do it again.
Expanded to thousands and thousands of square miles and watersheds, a few months of mass growth and then nothing. Absolutely destroys ecosystems and the natural order.
The argument of "we need these chemicals and industrial farming techniques to feed everybody" is a flat out lie. Most of what is grown is not food meant for humans to begin with. This is also why the Midwest is so "moderate" or leans dem. Biofuels and government subsidies are what are keeping the Midwest alive because the deal was done with the devil and now they're stuck with it.
This is all super surface level summation and glosses over the actual science of it but
TL;DR the government is manipulating farmers/farming for their own gain and per usual doing incredibly destruction to what they claim to be protecting and causing even more severe and long term problems.
Solution: end the biofules/subsidies, return the land to grass praires, return farms to small family operations growing actual food on far fewer acres now required.
Also of note is farmers susceptibility to marketing just like hunters that you can market something to farmers of the slick new tech or shiny thing of your preferred color loyalty and jack the price up. But that's a different conversation.
Your rebuttals of "cost of operation" and "how else will you cover so many acres of farmland" will be filed under the "didn't understand the deeper point of the post" folder.

Three immediate actions WH should take to course correct:
1) Retract support for Bayer at SCOTUS to avoid a horrific liability shield for pesticide manufacturers.
2) Deliver EO that pre-harvest desiccation with synthetic chemicals will be phased out by 2027.
3) Invest several billion in regen ag to end the systemic poisoning of our people and soil.

Time crystals may be biological too, and essential to life and consciousness. It looks like microtubules are fractal time crystals pubs.aip.org/aip/jap/article…
Microtubules are composed of tubulin. the most abundant brain protein (tied with actin). So more than anything the brain is made of microtubules which can entangle and oscillate collectively and coherently. Our new paper on this out soon.
Physicists have created a new 'time crystal' — and it can actually be seen.
Here's what that means.
These strange materials, which repeat their structure not just in space but in time, have mostly lived in the world of theory or required complex setups to detect.
But now, a team from the University of Colorado Boulder has built a time crystal made of liquid crystals, yes, the same kind found in LCD screens, that forms visible, rippling patterns that can be viewed under a microscope, and in some cases, even with the naked eye.
Led by physicists Hanqing Zhao and Ivan Smalyukh, the team created the effect by sandwiching the liquid crystal between glass plates coated with a dye that responds to light. When specific types of light were shone onto the setup, the dye changed its orientation and applied pressure to the liquid crystal layer, triggering a chain reaction. This caused the molecules to form kinks that moved and interacted in repeating cycles, producing colored stripes that oscillated over time, even when the surrounding light and temperature shifted. This consistent, repeating behavior in time, rather than in space alone, is what makes it a true time crystal. Time crystals were first proposed in 2012 and initially doubted, since they appeared to violate the laws of thermodynamics.
But experimental proof came in 2016, and now this new version takes things further by being visible and relatively easy to observe. Beyond the physics, this breakthrough could lead to real-world uses like advanced optics, telecom tools, anti-counterfeiting tech, and secure random number generation.

Sorry Trump... I'm on the Anti Glyphosate Team.
Casey De Santis reveals how she teamed up with Florida SG Jospeh Ladapo in a project to "trust but verify" the food supply.
What they found was stunning.
Heavy Metals, Arsenic and Glyphosate.... found in Baby Formula and Bread. It shouldn't be controversial to say:
"We deserve the right to be able to eat food, without having it contaminated with heavy metals and pesticides" - DESANTIS

I see it clearly now.
Neither of you are evil, you are just trapped into believing that you are good and they are evil.
You are fed a steady diet of rage bait designed to make you feel hate and anger.
So it’s only natural that you truly believe “they” are evil and you are good.
Some of you are too far gone, but for the rest of you, breaking out of your bubble is the only path to peace of mind.
Bliss awaits.

I post a lot about the beauty of space, but its important to remember that we already live on the most beautiful planet, filled with incredible wonders, unique creatures, and a species sentient enough to appreciate it all.
Earth is a magical place, and we're lucky to have it.
