the way bitcoiners do it is dumbass brain damage however

really because they come from the same Californian Ideology roots

it’s very easy to say in 2026 that crypto was dumb

it was also very easy to say in 2011 that crypto was dumb

Short answer: Potentially yes—for long-term holders, this dip screams opportunity. At sub-$85K, you’re buying at levels not seen since early 2025, well below the October peak.

Bottom Line: Bitcoin isn’t a “safe” bet—it’s a high-conviction play on decentralization and scarcity. If you believe in its 10-year trajectory (as Warren Buffett might quip: only buy what you’d hold if markets closed for a decade), dollar-cost average in now.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

• What is the difference between dollar cost averaging and throwing good money after bad
• Should I put all my savings into $FART
• Will bitcoin get me a girlfriend

did Grover do his own three-phase wiring, no it takes Bayes for that

NOTE: on looking again, I’m not sure if he asked a chatbot at the time (presumably the GPT 3.5-based ChatGPT) or if he’s saying it would have gone better if he had asked a chatbot. Not that the second is one dot better, and may be worse.

It’s really not hard to learn how to renovate a kitchen! I have done it. Of course, you won’t be able to learn how to do it all quickly or to a workman’s standard, but I had my contractor show me how to cut drywall, how installing cabinets works, how installing stoves works, how to run basic electrical lines, and how to evaluate the load on an electrical panel. The reports my general contractor was delegating to were also all mostly working on less than 30 hours of instruction for the specific tasks involved here (though they had more experience and were much faster at things like cutting precisely).

now if you know habryka wrote this, you can picture exactly what this kitchen looks like and will know to look out for doors falling on your head

it keeps turning out that groups who call themselves The Smart Guys Who Are Very Cool And Also Smart are full of numbnuts! HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING

author here - there is of course a good chance Disney will want to squash them like a bug.

Baldur Bjarnason (who hates AI slop) has posited precisely this:

My current theory is that the main difference between open source and closed source when it comes to the adoption of “AI” tools is that open source projects generally have to ship working code, whereas closed source only needs to ship code that runs.

I asked Github Copilot and it added import wreak to .NET, so we’ll get back to you.

Maxine Waters hates crypto bullshit with the fire of a thousand suns, she’s not in power any more but she can help jam this up

lol holy shit

when did we get goldbugs here

bitcoin is more stupid, but goldbugging is not not stupid

yay goldbugs

the other two answers are correct, but also they totally do. In particular, the blockchain analysis companies alert companies using their services to the transaction touching tainted coins. This is variably effective, of course.

But also, there are plenty of non-US/EU exchanges that don’t give a hoot and once tainted coins hit an exchange they’re washed because these exchanges are very good at having pretend KYC/AML.
