+1 for Telegraf (with Prometheus and Grafana), rolled out a monitoring stack for our internal network in something like 2 days when a colleague had been manually checking `top` for years each morning. Huge benefit.

The probability of making money investing in lottery tickets and BTC are obviously different

> Let's talk about braid theory. In the quantum world, particles can be thought of as strands, and their interactions as braids. The braids weave and loop around each other, creating intricate patterns, a dance of existence. Each unique pattern, or braid, represents a different state of the particle. The magic is that the braids can't get tangled.

That is not too far off hahahaha

The SDK is coming out next month way before the devices launch so I suspect there will be some simulation options. I'll be playing about with it for sure - I want to see what gaming HUDs I can bring to life!

This feels like what GPT-4 would say on the Rogan podcast after mushrooms

But you've picked the very peak of a previous bull run against a dip of a bear market... QQQ peaked in 2021 at $404 but is now at $355 so it's down 15%. This is just as relevant as what you're saying but obviously doesn't capture the whole picture? QQQ dipped from $101 to $20 once which is a huge loss, larger than BTCs largest dip as a percentage, but again that doesn't really tell the whole picture either.

Not trying to be rude or argumentative here, I just really don't understand your point.

Huh? BTC is up 56% YTD, QQQ is up 34.5%. Over five years BTC is up 300%, QQQ is 100%. Over life BTC is 7850% while QQQ is 570%. Today QQQ is up 0.12%, BTC is up 0.95%.

I don’t know which slice you want to compare but general holds of BTC have outperformed QQQ significantly, even today it’s done better while it’s two largest exchanges have been sued by the SEC.

This is true when it’s going down and false when it’s going up. Do the same analysis of previous years during bull crypto markets and does this hold up?

Sure, but as a public company they're legally responsible for the audit they signed off and while the Big 4 refuse to work with private crypto companies, Deloitte did choose to audit Coinbase. I just don't believe they can get away with this level of shady stuff while a Big 4 audit them and they're under extreme scrutiny for the sector from the SEC.
