I did it hahaha - I paid a laborer for his labor with crypto. Just to spite "them", I did the thing they fear most - Labor being paid in crypto. I asked my new landscaper if he'd like cash, credit, or bitcoin and he said he'll take bitcoin. My first real crypto transaction that wasn't simply moving it around.

I own bitcoin that I've had since 2014, and I've actually tried this a few times. But twice I was met with "what's that?" in the earlier days, and the other time the guy was afraid the price would drop after he was paid. That guy I just paid in cash, while explaining that he could just sell the bitcoin immediately. But he said it was just easier to do cash. Less effort on his part, and he was right I guess.

This experience brings this thought to mind: Have you been promoting bitcoin by asking if people will take it as payment?

Berkshire is hoarding so. much. cash.

Intel’s been lagging behind for years, while AMD has pulled far ahead in both consumer and professional-grade chips, it’s really not a close race anymore.

There’s this idea floating around that throwing enough cash at Intel will suddenly turn them into the next TSMC. But semiconductor manufacturing isn’t something you can ... See More rush, it’s a complex, slow-moving process that takes years of precision and experience.

Intel could recover some ground eventually, but framing them as the savior of American chipmaking feels more like a political talking point than a practical reality.
