Ameen Soleimani apologizes to Glen Weyl after making borderline anti semitic remarks.

Ameen Soleimani 👹 @ameensol
This is my apology. First, I'd like to apologize to Glen Weyl. The way I brought up his Jewish pride was irrelevant to the conversation, imprecise, and unnecessary.

2. I could have been nicer to Glen. I could have asked him to what extent the Jewish pride he demonstrates is rooted in Judaism or his Jewish heritage. It seems odd to accept, propagate, and indoctrinate your children into the religion simply because tradition demands it.

I'd like to share what I learned yesterday: 1. A new word - "Judaists" which refers *only* to Jews who believe in the Judaistic religion, and *not* secular Jewish people. I expect it to save me a great amount of grief in the future.

A great flippening is approaching. More investors flip everyday to realize that quanatative easing, negative interest rates, fractional reserves, the elimination of cash, mass surveillance, currency wars, and inflation are all the frightening experiments, not bitcoin.

Block #597,273 was mined 119 minutes after its parent. This happened only 10 times in Bitcoin's history, last time in May of 2014. Assuming blocks come in 10 minutes in average, this interblock time has a 0.000679% chance of occurring.

Ethereum miners are hodling more ETH. Some speculation that is to preserve relevance after transition to PoS, but seems more likely they're awaiting a more optimal market to offset costs? Any other theories? reddit.com/r/ethfinance/c… (h/t @evan_van_ness Week In Ethereum)
