Kind of AI slop written thread but a good starter if you want to get deep into why cholesterol is mostly a hoax and the wrong indicator to follow if you want to avoid heart disease and strokes in the future My dad is a cardiologist and told me this for ages Best thing you can do is avoid processed foods, seed oils, sugar (and of course alcohol and smoking). It inflammes your body When you eat clean diet of whole foods: meat, eggs, vegetables, fruit and drink water or sparkling water and black coffee or tea, your body heals and inflammation disappears and you'll just feel better (and happier!) I still meet people who think eating meat daily is bad, when all the studies were based on processed meat like eating sausages, not whole cuts of unprocessed meat It doesn't help that eating meat means your cholesterol gets high (of course it does) but that doesn't mean you should blindly follow it and stop eating meat and go on statins (with its side effects) I get regular artery ultrasound scans for plaque, and mine are completely clean while I eat lots of meat, also I checked my LP(a) which shows I don't have the genetic marker for heart disease
For years I asked two questions nobody could answer. If my cholesterol was 110 when I had my cardiac event at 52, why did my arteries fill with plaque. And why do some people smoke and eat garbage and live to 90 while I ate clean and exercised and ended up in Stamford Hospital fighting for my life. I spent six years reading the studies they never cited. Testing the markers they never ordered. Mapping my own genetics. Tracking two hundred biomarkers across twelve readings. What I found was a complete mechanism of heart disease that has nothing to do with your LDL number. A mechanism that starts with a shield your doctor has never measured. That is driven by insulin resistance nobody tested. Fueled by seed oils nobody questioned. Enabled by a defense system that was sabotaged. Sustained by chronic inflammation nobody connected to the arterial wall. And accelerated by genetics that determine who breaks first. The science was there the entire time. It was silenced. This thread is the full story. Every step. Every study. Every image. And at the end I will show you how the body heals. 🧵

I agree. Bitcoin is a beneficiary of the AI trade either way. Either we get universal basic income and mass money printing, or the AI trade blows up and we get a huge money-printing bailout. Either way, it wins. ". If it pays off it will have been financed by credit expansion; if it does not, the losses will be socialized. Either way, the supply of claims on the future grows, and so does the value of a hard money asset with a fixed issuance.The AI build-out, usually cast as bitcoin's competitor for capital, is itself a debasement machine: Morgan StanleyexpectsAI-related debt issuance to reach $570 billion in 2026 and about $1.5 trillion of the build-out through 2028 must befinanced externally"
We believe the bottom is in, selling pressure has diminished, the debasement case has strengthened, and the crowd has left

Interesting. Watching this space. Although wouldn't a more fair analogy: Fake gold is to real gold, as shitcoins are to bitcoin? Gold has been valuable to humans for longer than any other SoV. Not sure diamonds, which are inherently not valuable, is an appropriate comparison.
Creating net-new gold with alchemy is becoming real. The lab grown diamond industry is growing rapidly. But you can’t invent anything that will increase Bitcoin supply. There will only ever be 21M.

I cannot wrap my head around the endgame here. If you destroy the planet, crash the global economy, and leave ordinary people too broke to buy anything, what exactly are billionaires planning to do with all that money? Sit in underground bunkers staring at bank balances while the world falls apart? Wealth is only valuable when there's a functioning society around it. So what exactly are they trying to win?

not only am i not worried about the crypto community's ability to handle the upcoming ai/quantum threat, i will venture to say that in the next 2 yrs the world will realize crypto is far better prepared for it than the rest of the internet and finance. we've had a trillion dollar *irreversible* honey pot for a decade, producing a far more battletested system and adversarial security culture than pretty much anywhere else on earth.

AI is going to benefit the long tails. Early entrants who are fast and nimble, who see something the world hasn't yet. Incumbents who are already have a moat like network effects or economies of scale. The middle will be hollowed out.

Tokens are just VC bets marked to market in real time. Of course most will fail, while the winners will go on to change the world.

1) The number of agents will keep growing 2) The number of agents that need to transact then keeps growing 3) Crypto and stablecoins will be their go-to payment rail Yep.
NEW IN: BlackRock says AI agents could become a major source of stablecoin demand.

AI lowers the cost of doing things. But it does nothing about whether those things were even worth doing in the first place.

If the money system wasn't fundamentally broken, it wouldn't be mandatory to own assets just in order to maintain your purchasing power. Infinite money printing is the most destructive scam that nearly everybody just accepts. It never gets addressed.
Inflation is about to kick a lot of people's butts and most are blissfully unaware of the true implications of that.

The last four years of retirement was fun. But now it's time to work on @BTCX_NETWORK Solves the two problems normies have with BTC, income and projected ROI. 1) Pays regular income 2) 2.6x the returns of BTC.
