In 2010 facebook had a big ass conference - where there's a picture of mark Zuckerberg standing in front of a screen that says "THE DEFAULT IS NOW SOCIAL". They deleted all references to it, but it's still alive in blogs of the event.
I hate facebook more than anything as well. At $1500 btc i asked a few normie friends what they thought of bitcoin and they laughed at me and told me to buy facebook stock.
I haven’t stopped trolling them ever since. It’s been a glorious ride. Bitcoin shall be the end of facebook. As an atheist sometimes this makes me thing god exists. Lmao
>LINK/BTC/ETH makes FB obsolete These three will allow Urbit to take its final form in the coming years, wihich will disrupt the current big tech hegemony. Essentially it will use API calls as a trojan horse to return individual control over personal data. Without constant data harvesting the modern social media companies will become obsolete.
It honestly takes weeks if not months to wrap your head around, not even sure if I totally get it which is part of why I shitpost about it to hear from autists who are smarter than me. If it were any other project that was so hard to explain from the get-go, you wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. In this case, the story is a little different when you recognize it as the brainchild of Curtis Yarvin aka Mencius Moldbug. There's a lot of moving parts to explain, but one they started with was essentially the idea of Urbit as your own "personal server." Right now we've ended up with most content/data on the internet silo'd into one of 5 companies because we're not all Linux Admin's that can serve our own data. Urbit will change that so anyone can serve their own data, and by extension, protect it and share it willingly. This is my favorite podcast about it with Yarvin, whole thing is good but specifically I am talking about approx. 23 minutes in: soundcloud.com/arthurfalls/the-ether-review-46-smoking-dmt-with-mencius-moldbug. Essentially a ton of the modern problems with computing can be traced to the fact that our computing architecture, codebase, etc. was developed in the 70's and we have been building makeshift structures on top of it ever since. Consider Urbit to be computing that is made for the year 2050 instead of 1970. The goal is to create an ecosystem of self-sovereign feudal communities on the net instead of our current power structure. They are trying to recreate the experience of Usenet in the 80's which was self-moderated and didn't pester you with ads or data mine you. Here are some good essays they put out recently: urbit.org/posts/the-100-year-computer/ urbit.org/posts/azimuth-as-multipass/
Yes you can use it now, although my impression is that it won't be very normie friendly for atleast two more years (they are claiming one year but we will see). Theoretically they will "hack metcalfe's law" to build up their network base by creating an on ramp to connect to legacy data feeds and port over existing accounts, while making them accessible under one multipass. It's a long time coming as I believe development began all the way back in 2002, well before anyone in the mainstream had heard of cryptography and cryptocurrencies. All you need to do is buy a planet with ETH on opensea.io (planets have two names like ~ticsun-folryn). You should not have to pay more than like 5-15 bucks for a planet, anything more than that is a scam. Once you have a planet in your wallet with some eth you can follow instructions here: urbit.org/docs/getting-started/. You may also be able to request a testnet ship if you do not want to buy a planet. Personally I just picked up a planet recently but I made a deal with myself that I won't play with it until I nail my job interview this week. So if everything goes well I will be experimenting on it this weekend.
based. good luck with the interview user. also, im looking to accumulate more link. i'm currently 600 link and 0.5 btc but i want to go all in link if it hits 0.6 or something. then ill sell half of my stack around 98$ and buy more if it goes down. does that sound like a good idea?
I don' think we will see it that cheap but who knows. If you think it's going to dip that much due to a btc drop you would probably want to park that 0.5 in a stablecoin so that it doesn't lose value as well, then DCA in as it falls. Personally I would just be grateful you are this early and use that 0.5 btc to give yourself another 4,400 stink. Withdraw it to a wallet you control and rest easy knowing you will have a nice cash stimulus coming your way in the next few years. Imagine if you were buying ETH or BTC at these prices, would you really want to risk waiting or swingtrading out of greed when you might end up missing out the chance to buy under a dollar?

cool. should i ever cash out to BTC in the future? 15 BTC is the 21 club since 6 mil have been lost. or do you think i would make more money just staying in link?
said it will go to 100 then drop but maybe it's just a larp
Kek yeah I've read the asula larp threads. Who knows if it's real or not. If that's the template you are going by then you can do the math and see that holding link up to $100 will net you more than holding $140k btc. Think about it, from here to $100 link is more than 100x from it's current price. $140k btc is only 21.5x return assuming you magically bought in at the larper's bottom which is $6,500. You can build a model and run the numbers yourself to see if I did that right. Compare which holding would do better in that scenario. Who knows man, the future is going to be so crazy. I truly hope that all anons will make it.

I think what will be telling by the larp is if it does hit the targets. also, what do you think the price of LINK will eventually be? What coins are you holding? Just ETH/BTC/LINK? also do you have temp email or something to correspond? you seem based
