`Good morning. 🌿🌿🌿

3 March 2025

There’s an old paperback Webster's New World Dictionary sitting in the middle of my desk. My wife must have been using it yesterday because I rarely reach for a dictionary anymore—the internet does it for me. This particular edition, printed in 1990, has well-used, yellowed pages. To me, 1990 doesn’t seem that long ago, though it's been over thirty years. The dictionary's cover price is $4.50, while a new version costs over $9. I could have sworn I had two copies, but glancing around, I don't see another one. I probably purchased the dictionary in a Stars and Stripes Book Store overseas. Boring, I know - like reading a dictionary.

OK, #cryptocurrency waffle ahead.

Last week I think Trump just started #polfi with cryptocurrency. TLDR, he endorsed a meme coin that went through the roof. Wonder how much of this was used to pay off any campaign or legal costs? Will this be a new revenue avenue going forward with our politicians? Not only will they chase your vote, but enable cash flow with an investment tool that has a low barrier of entry.

Guess we'll have to wait for another election to roll around. Won't happen in Australia this year. Both candidates haven't mentioned crypto in any banter just yet. Dutton would be the first I bet, he's parroting Trump hard right now to get on the big stage. Just my way of saying he doesn't have an original idea to date.

Which brings me to another point. Just noticed Vine (yes the former video sharing platform) has opened $Vine meme coin. This is a bit odd as Vine no longer exists, and to add; all proceeds from the token are being given to X (yes, the platform) "which has become a beacon for free speech and self expression."

As with anything in the crypto market, please do your own research!

#ElonMusk 'sta valutando' il ritorno di #Vine dopo il divieto di #TikTok.

Venerdì l'app ha perso un ultimo tentativo legale per far dichiarare #incostituzionale il divieto per motivi di libertà di parola, con la #CorteSuprema degli #StatiUniti che ha #respinto all'unanimità il #ricorso di TikTok.

Intanto #Trump ha dichiarato che "molto probabilmente" concederà a TikTok altri 90 giorni per trovare un accordo dopo il suo insediamento lunedì.
