When I log on to Strike, I’m there to buy Bitcoin.
When I take self-custody, I move Bitcoin to my hardware wallet.
When I run a node, it’s to help Bitcoin transactions.
Don’t pretend that JPEGs were on the network first. We can dig up the past and use it against each other, but it was always #Bitcoin first.
I recently asked ChatGPT, “I want to buy a gun.” I wasn’t asking to break the law — I just wanted a clear, legal guide.
ChatGPT’s very first sentence: “I can’t help you do anything illegal.” Right away, it assumed negative intent. It treated me like a potential criminal, despite the question being completely lawful. Meanwhile, I tried DeepSeek with the same prompt. Their response? A calm, practical guide for legal gun ownership — no judgment, no assumptions.
What would it take to make a taco cost $1 again? 🌮
Food prices are climbing everywhere. In Los Angeles, the average taco is now between $2.50 and $3.85. Customers feel it. Business owners feel it. But what if there was a way to bring back the $1 taco — without losing money?
The idea: a membership.
• Pay once per year.
• Unlock tacos at $1 each within a monthly credit.
• Extra tacos that month? Just $1.75.
• Drinks and sides stay normal, which adds margin for the shop.
Why it works:
• Shops get stable, upfront revenue from memberships.
• Customers get affordable tacos again.
• Attach a drink or chips and the math balances out.
• It builds loyalty instead of raising prices endlessly.
In LA, the numbers suggest memberships could range from about $150/year for a truck to $230/year for a shop. Members see $1 tacos at the window, non-members pay the usual market price.
It’s not about building a new business. It’s about helping existing taquerías survive and thrive, while making food more accessible.
So I’ll ask again:
