Patrick Byrne (@PatrickByr47244) reportedI've cancelled my Premium Basic subscription because I was getting more "views" on the free version, and I have no interest in Veblen goods, prefering value for money. I tried my article about the bankers taking £40 BILLION of our money, on Reddit, "r/AskEconomics" and - guess what? It was removed on the grounds of breaching rule V. which bans "soapboxing" and loaded questions. Judge for yourself. I have made a few updates in the article, to better explain my argument. If after reading what I have said, you still disbelieve that the bankers could have gatekeepers across social media, preserving their "golden goose," that is your inalienable right: I would like to offer my first post, on a subject which has troubled me for several years. I have now constructed a paradigm which makes sense of the inscrutable UK economy, and it requires the visualisation of the UK economy as two separate and distinct financial entities, with two different types of money. 1. The general economy, the one which includes M1, M2, M3 etc. and which I think of as the main, or primary economy, where we spend money to live. 2. The other, secondary economy, is a banking one, where digital money is created with the stroke of a computer key, and none of it appears in the UK money supply figures, because there is nothing to buy in the digital-money-creating-economy. It is only when digitally created money is transferred, in the form of bank loans, mortgages or student loans, from the banking sector - where it was created - into the real economy of M1, M2 etc. that the money changes from being digital, to becoming real, and the money supply automatically increases to include it. I do understand that commercial banks operate in the real economy but when they create money there are strict financial regulations and accounting mechanics dictating exactly how this money is controlled and deployed. “Commercial banks create new money through lending, but they cannot use this self-created money to buy arbitrary assets, fund their own operating expenses, or purchase corporate buildings. When a bank creates money, it does so by simultaneously writing a loan asset and a deposit liability on its balance.” ChatGBT This is easy in the UK where some 90% of all financial transactions are cashless. Sometime later, when the loan is repaid in full, the amount recorded under "loans receivable" has, in the bank's accounts, been reduced to zero, and it could be said that the "created money has disappeared." This - to me - "myth," that the created money disappears, is a controversial one that has been presented to me as a fact (which I did not understand), and to which I have been unable to articulate a sound challenge; until now. The problem was, and still is, that the repayment of the loan has, indeed, cleared the original loan creation, but, those same loan repayments - which cleared the "loans receivable" account at the bank, have ended up securely in the same bank's deposits. The amount of the loan has moved from the primary economy into the secondary, or banking- digital-money-creation sector, and the rules, above, state that the money cannot be used to buy arbitrary assets.. Our clever banking forebears overcame the problem with a sublime solution. They created a "reserve fund" at the Bank of England, they even called it their "reserve account" and used it as a receptacle for all real economy money that ends up, somehow, in the secondary, or digital economy. The money held in the reserve account does not count towards the money supply and this effectively "hides" the problem of the permanent transfer of real money into the digital economy. And yet we, the taxpayers, pay interest worth £40 BILLION A YEAR to the bankers, ostensibly for keeping their money in this reserve account. If you ask AI who owns this money it says: “Since the 2008 crisis, the BoE created large amounts of reserves during quantitative easing. When the BoE bought government bonds, it credited commercial banks’ reserve accounts with newly created central bank money.” AI got this information from Hansard. But why did QE result in the commercial banks receiving £875 billion paid into the BoE reserve account? The following, are the words used by the BoE to describe QE on its website: “The money we used to buy bonds when we were doing QE did not come from government taxation or borrowing. Instead, like other central banks, we can create money digitally in the form of ‘central bank reserves’.” So, if the BoE created the money digitally, why did the commercial banks get credited? The BoE were buying government bonds from the Debt Management Office, which is an Executive Agency of HM Treasury, in order to move extra money into the treasury, to help pay for the Banking collapse and the Covid pandemic. These two quotes, one from AI, sourced from Hansard, and one from the BoE website are mutually exclusive, they cannot both be correct. Returning to the subject of this article, the "BoE reserve account" neatly resolves the problem with "real money" leaking into the "digital economy," and uses this fund to balance commercial bank accounts each day, a laudable undertaking, but at what cost to the nation. Your instinct will be to think, they wouldn't do this, but please bear in mind that until recently UK university "economics courses," including my own master's course, were teaching that banks used the money in their deposit accounts to make loans, the so-called "fractional reserve banking," this is simply untrue. Banks create loans with digital money and transfer it into the real economy as a loan. Why did the universities do that? What were they helping to hide? My issue on all of this is: why are we paying interest to the banks on digital money that doesn't exist in the UK money supply and which the owner cannot spend on arbitrary assets? Of course they can't spend it, it is in the secondary, or digital-money-creation-economy, you can only spend money in the real economy, the digital economy is for creating money and lending it into the real economy. Interest is to compensate someone for lending money which could be earning income from trading. Money in the BoE reserve account cannot trade. This is our money – we own the BoE - and it would transform the UK economy. We could, for example raise the tax-free allowance immediately to around £25,000 per year. With potential huge increases in UK productivity.

MultiBaggers Capital (@MultiBaggerss) reported🚨I added to $RDDT today. Reddit is down 37% YTD and it’s easily a $200+ stock. 91.5% gross margin. 7 consecutive quarter of 60% sales growth. Out of all US tech companies, only ONE has this full combo at the same time: • 40%+ revenue growth • 30%+ FCF and EBITDA margins • tiny capex • 91.5% gross margin Look, I don’t enjoy buying beaten-down stocks—I’m all-in on AI hardware plays—but $RDDT is straight-up a gold mine here.

Shadz (@Shadzey1) reported@rogerduckman @Succculenttrash Yeah, been with Horizon since 2 and there have been issues before, **** was rough in 5 especially but some of the **** I’ve been experiencing in 6 and then seeing on here & Reddit is pretty ridiculous lol

Devorshi Bhattacharjee (@DevorshiBh93761) reportedUnpopular opinion: Your MVP isn’t broken. Your distribution is. Instead of shipping v2.0, run this loop: 1/ Blast launch (HN, PH, Reddit, X, LI, YT). 7 days max. 2/ No traction? Rebrand. New name, LP, visuals. Same core. Relaunch. Agree or am I missing something?

Just Your Average Bear (@Jester_Alby13) reported@LijGWAc82jwx9b @lady_valor_07 To be fair, the hurdles are being made by their own. If the tiktok/reddit obsessed weren't so busy trying to one up women or "fight the chuds", the more normal down to earth trans people wouldn't be getting so much flak

CARRION (@CarrionCoreVT) reported"Breakfast non-perceivers" is a funny derogative that's entertaining to use, but engaging this heuristic unironically is amongst one of the most pretentiously Reddit things that you can do. Midwits have essentially boiled this down to a beck and call response where they think that they've owned you for not giving the textbook answer— you know, as if they themselves have any comprehension of said medium.

Olami Lekan (@RealOlamius) reported@Joost_Boer Your branding is honestly better than a lot of projects I see. The product is likely not the problem. The thing is, the right communities haven’t gotten there yet.” “Reddit is good for that because people trust recommendations more than traditional promotion.”

Mamaluke (@RealMamaluke) reported@peterrhague X needs to crack down on this slop content. Place will be Reddit in no time if nothing is done.

LongShotAnima (@LongShotAnima) reported@MassiveCorgi It’s no personal anecdote. Lmao you just have no clue what’s going on. That’s the problem. You can literally search Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, instagram. People literally arguing the devs are wrong in their storytelling. Lmao. How pathetic you can’t just take your L.

Saeed Anwar (@saen_dev) reportedThe Reddit/forum mining approach works but the edge is in finding problems where people have already tried and abandoned existing solutions — that's where willingness to pay actually lives.

🍃🕕Tanuki_tan🕕🍃 (@EepyRacoonAgent) reported@swengsbelike @fahkta pragmata's reddit had to officially come out and condemn how the server got flooded with diana porn on day one and declare they would ban whoever posted it on sight, not only that but we've had people claiming that them changing her underwear for shorts was woke censorship

Rashi Umapathi (@rashiumapathi) reportedA founder shared their GTM plan with me last month. LinkedIn ✓ Cold email ✓ SEO blog ✓ Reddit ✓ Twitter ✓ Newsletter ✓ 6 channels. 4 months in. Zero traction. I asked: "Which one are you doubling down on?" Answer: "All of them. We don't want to put all our eggs in one basket." That's the problem. 6 channels at 20% effort each = mediocre results everywhere. 1 channel at 100% effort = a real signal that either works or teaches you something. You're not diversifying risk. You're spreading attention so thin nothing gets traction. Pick one. Go embarrassingly deep. Get signal. Then, and only then, EXPAND. DM me "GTM" if your startup has traction but no repeatable acquisition. This is usually where we start.

Vaibhav Sisinty (@VaibhavSisinty) reportedsomeone on reddit just posted 11 claude things after 18 months of daily use, and most people using claude have never touched half of them 🤯 went through the whole list. these 5 are the ones that actually change how you use it 👇 → Custom Styles. make one called "skeptical senior engineer" that pushes back on your code instead of agreeing with everything. 3 minutes to set up. honestly the single biggest output jump there is. → Projects. drop your context, style guide, past work in once as project knowledge. stop re-pasting the same thing into every chat. people burn 100+ hours before they figure this out. → default to Sonnet 4.6, not Opus 4.7. it's faster and most tasks don't need Opus. save Opus for the gnarly architectural stuff. the limit complaints just stop. → Artifacts can call the API now. you can build a working ai tool inside an artifact. people call it Claudeception. a client-brief generator that calls Sonnet from inside an html artifact, built in an hour. wild. → subagents in Claude Code. "spin off a subagent to run the tests while i keep coding." parallel work that used to only happen in your head. almost nobody uses them. the realest line in the whole post: generic output means a generic prompt. that's a skill issue, not a model issue. what's the one claude thing that took you way too long to find? 👇
