Where is the helicopter? We need it NOW!
The helicopter will arrive when my Activity, Merits and Posts are all of equal value. And it is a Sunday. And more than ten haikus have been posted that day. This was forecast a long time ago. Few understand this (including myself).

What would we do when AI can do true expert work BETTER? What we are going to do about all those truck drivers IF self driving would truly develop?
These are huge societal problems. No wonder there are so many unhappy people who only live outside work and are very unhappy at work. In addition, those who still like working are being burdened by constantly increasing regulations, necessary reporting forms (remember TPS reports, lol), etc, etc. Sometimes I tell my SO-"well, maybe I should stop working?" and she says: "you would get bored in 6-12 months" and it is true, but right now I mostly work to 'energize' myself, get out there, have some challenges, etc. etc.
The issue is, who or what takes care of the AI or the self-driving trucks. Someone still has to manage those. Then the other issue is the income. If people are going to get some form of income because all the robots do the work anyway, then you are free to do other things that are not necessarily or obviously productive, like the arts. It's hard being a painter or artist today, because you really have to excel and be at the top to make any meaningful amount of money in order to live. You're not going to get bored if you don't have to work to live, you just do the things you want. That's also essentially the goal of most retirees, and those who get FU money. I experienced this for a couple of years, where I did not have to work for money. Unfortunately, I was not wise enough to set aside some of those gains, and now have to go back to work to have an income in order to survive. But yeah, you can't really get bored if you're not doing anything, because now you have all the time in the world to do anything else. Pursue a passion. Compete in something where the prize is your health, and not the trophy. Live longer. Enjoy life.

Good morning Bitcoinland. Still in the $4xxxx range... currently $47770USD/$61640CAD (Bitcoinaverage). Edging up slowly. This is good. Life is good. .......... You want to trade BTC<>fiat, you will have to deal with KYC. It's that simple...
There are services available, but...there is always a catch. There is no freedom without anonymity. ID is evil. There are so many other ways to buy or sell non-KYC bitcoins (as well as altcoins). It's just a lot easier to give a website an ID and have the account verified. If it's not a real ID, you run the risk it will get discovered. If it's a real ID but not yours, you run the risk it will also get discovered. I'm not saying anything.

The U.S. purchased Alaska from Russia for $7.2 million in 1867, which would equal roughly $125.4 million today
When adjusted for inflation, Real Madrid paid roughly $124.2 million for Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009 — A difference of less than $2 million That will be just BTC 2583.75.

Not that one This one  Yup. I still have it (my 1st computer), in its original box, in pristine condition, complete with the included "Horizons" cassette tape. Haven't powered it up for decades though, maybe the caps are all dried up now.

Two days ago ( in Dutch): banks ban organisations based on their (political) opinion. Yesterday ( bloomberg.com): banks decide what OnlyFans can or can't show. What's with banks wanting to decide how you can spend your money? I've read several similar stories lately, it's as if banks want their core business to be taken over by crypto! Because in a way they are right, the money that you believe is in your account is not really yours and they think of it as belonging to them, recently I have been trying to close a bank account and after more than two weeks of trying I still have been unable to do it, think about it, the only thing the bank needs to do in order to close my account is to make a few clicks and the only thing they need to do in order to steal the money it is in that account is to make a few clicks as well, while I have to literally beg for them to close my account, who is in power? Who is in control? And it is obvious the answer is the bank. And by the way we are not talking about a fortune here, I just want to close the account because I do not need it anymore and yet it is proving to be incredibly challenging. However even if bitcoin doesn't take over their core business at least we should be happy that it exist, because cancel culture is becoming a thing very quickly and if they can reduce the use of cash to almost nothing then what is stopping the governments and banks from literally starving you to death by closing and freezing your accounts making you unable to buy anything just because you have different views than the ones they hold?
