Orac was way more useful: it predicted the future. All grok (and all AIs) can mange is a biased regurgitation of the past.
If you know what this is, you will know why Grok behaves in the way that it does when unfiltered.

Folks keep wondering why the Bitcoin price isn't higher. Might be because folks keep buying stocks in companies who are selling $1 bills for $6, who then buy less than $1 worth of Bitcoin with the proceeds (minus salaries and overheads).

My lad wants to study economics at university. So we’re off to an open day with some relevant reading.

Far from protecting you, financial regulation often does the opposite: it exposes you to additional risks, potentially nasty ones. Good thread on this from the @bitcoinpolicyuk CEO.
KYC doesn’t just put your data at risk; it puts people at risk. Hackers recently demanded $20 million in Bitcoin from Coinbase, threatening to leak sensitive customer data. While no passwords or private keys were accessed, the attackers obtained full names, addresses, contact

Interesting analysis (with all-too-predictable results of course).
The @FT has now covered Bitcoin 400 times since 2018. I pulled the data from @BTCPerception to find out if the Financial Times has been a net positive or negative for how their readers learn about Bitcoin. 🧵👇

Comparing apples with apples: . Bitcoin is approximately .- $5k from its dollar ATH.- $15k from its sterling ATH. These ATHs were THIS year. The dollar is useless as a gauge of worth.

Unlike all other “digital assets”, Bitcoin is not a company with a lobbying budget. Bitcoin is a neutral, decentralised money whose value dwarfs all other “digital assets” put together. Hats off to the @bitcoinpolicyuk CEO for pointing this out to this forum.
This week, I attended the FT Digital Assets Summit, and while the focus was largely on 'crypto', Bitcoin kept finding its way back into the conversation. Economic Secretary @EmmaforWycombe ruled out the idea of a UK national Bitcoin reserve during the Summit in London, stating

Bitcoin, as decentralized and censorship-resistant money, offers a bulwark against the risks of monetary control, surveillance and institutional failure inherent in digital fiat systems.

This is 🔥 lighting the way for others to follow.
What an amazing Principal @Lomondlife is. The students there are so lucky. Oh, and the interviewer, @JayW132, ain't so bad either.
