Imagine you put the same amount into each of the 23 stocks listed for a 30 year period. All but one of them goes to zero and one of them has a CAGR of 25% for the 30 year period. In that scenario, you’d have more than 3x what you would have had if you had invested it all into an index fund compounding at 8% annually over the same time period.

Not saying your point was wrong, just presenting a different perspective.

The more interesting soda size shift was how 20oz bottles were gradually replaced by half liter bottles. It’s rare to see 20oz bottles now. It seems like they’re still common at sports events and that’s about it.

It feels like I’m serving time and if I engage too much I’ll get time added to my sentence. I read when there’s activity. If I were able to engage I might say that I’ve been adding a lot of MSTR with the premium gone and their fundamentals actually looking better than ever. Back to the penalty box.

Both parties spend recklessly. I just vote for republicans because they don’t gaslight me about transgenderism while they’re doing it.

Nah you crushed it. :lol: I was 50/50 on whether it was genuine or sarcasm but based on the board demographics I leaned serious.

By making more fake money. It’s not hard. Keeping people dependent on it is harder and I think thats why we have to go on these promotional tours every once in a while.

There’s no way it was right. It had that ball violently fading.

re: So it looks like we finally know who Bitcoin's Satoshi is thanks to NYT reporting?

Posted by beaverfever on 4/10/26 at 6:35 am to TigahsOnTop

If it is Back, he has no intention of touching the coins. He has said that when the time comes and a fork is needed to address quantum, the coins with P2PK addresses (Satoshi's 1.1M coins) that would be exposed should be left behind. That's not necessarily a consensus opinion in the community.

It surprised me that he would say that because it is a bit against the ethos to declare any coins obsolete. The classic, libertarian minded bitcoiner would generally say that whoever is able to take possession of the tokens owns the tokens. It makes sense that Back would be comfortable breaking that ethos if he knew the primary “victim” would be him and he never planned to touch the coins anyway.

I never understood why Back wasn't considered the most likely candidate. The first time I heard him talk about not getting into bitcoin until 2013 I smelled bs.

Honestly, I like him a lot and don't give a shite if it was him. Satoshi was a pseudonym. He doesn't exist anymore. Bitcoin is open source. Someone essentially donated the protocol to humanity and said "have at it". If it was Back and he doesn't want to be associated with that role, that's his choice.
