Also close to the Esquire is a very good new Mexican place called Domingo. I posted pics a page or so back in thread. I don’t believe they take reservations but if you go earlier in the evening shouldn’t be difficult to get in.
This was a good podcast on the Russian sanctions. Freezing such a large amount of central bank reserves of a belligerent country is the big change.
This CS analyst makes good distinction between inside money and outside money with FX reserves. Inside money is reserves held elsewhere that are ultimately another party’s liabilities. These are Euros, Yen, Swiss Franc etc that are held by other central banks and are getting seized.
Outside money is essentially gold. It’s no one else’s liability. Russia’s gold is all held in vaults in Moscow. He didn’t mention my favorite asset, but it falls in the realm of outside money.
You can expect to see a gradual move by some countries to accumulate more “outside money” as reserves given the two recent Episodes of reserve confiscation with Afghanistan and Russia. Bearish for the USD obviously.
Cohost is UT grad btw

Just catching up on news/clips. Didn’t watch whole thing, but incoherence (let’s just lower costs, but raise wages) and touting negative policies (protectionism) on the number one overall issue for voters is troublesome.
I’m sorry this post made me laugh. We’re all being fed propaganda. How much it affects us is dependent on the individual, but it’s a big part of social media. I’m just trying to take everything with a huge grain of salt. It didn’t just start here either. Remember Chinese people falling over with Covid?
I haven’t done it yet. Haven’t had time to set up my coldcard. Will keep you posted.
no idea. It’s very hard to determine numbers like that. This is a qualitative report on crypto adoption, not just btc, from the biggest chain analysis company out there.

So any theories as to why we’ve seen minimal Russian cyber activity? Internet is still up in Ukraine. I would think that would be one of the first things for them to eliminate.
