The entire email has numbers where spaces should be.
So... should I be inclined to fall for this, the big question is ...
Do I replace all the numbers in the Bitcoin address with spaces?

"In times of chaos and fear, purposeful action is power" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Act boldly. Fear feeds on hesitation.
Think about this moment. Confidence is fragile. Every headline screams volatility.
And just like that, a wave of fear rolls in—bringing hesitation, doubt, and paralysis.
Are you letting the fear freeze your future?
Have you become the deer in the headlights?
But here’s the truth: the antidote to anxiety is action.
While others freeze, you can move.
While some debate what might go wrong, you can start building what could go right.
While people wait for signs an upturn, you can create your own little upturn, simply by acting.
Fear loves hesitation. It grows stronger when you pause, wait, scroll endlessly, or convince yourself that “now isn’t the time.” It thrives in your indecision, matures in the recesses of your uncertainty, and becomes a cancer in your inaction.
But bold action—no matter how small—immediately puts you back in the driver’s seat. It shifts your mindset from 'overwhelmed' to 'engaged.' It puts you in control. It gets you out of your doom cycle. It brings you back from focusing on where you are - to building momentum for where you could be.
You don’t have to launch a moonshot to make a difference. You don't need some huge stretch goal. You don't need to be chasing some grand vision. You just have to move:
Learn something new.
Start that project.
Test the idea.
Build the prototype.
Say yes.
Momentum beats perfection. Progress quiets panic. Action beats fear.
We are not victims of the future. We are its architects—if we choose to be.
So when the uncertainty rises, meet it with motion.
When fear whispers “not yet,” answer back: “Watch me.”
Because the future doesn’t wait.
And neither should you.
What are you waiting for?

Futurist Jim Carroll knows that action is the antitode to every moment of volatility.

Just had the loveliest experience while getting my watch strap resized at Silver Phoenix in Bray. They’re a tiny, independent two-person jewellers – Martin and Joleta – and they took such care (Martin resized it three times and did a micro-adjustment and then undid it until we found the perfect fit).
In a world of faceless corporations you forget sometimes how lovely people can be.
So if you’re looking for jewellery, a watch, wallet or pen (or repairs/sizing/etc.), give them a shout and support a tiny local business that’s been going for five years now.

The post I wrote in 2011 goes through the so-far accurate reasons why technocrats can't disguise a governmental decision as an economic one through carbon taxes or tradable permits. Geoengineering is so far a fantasy and the more we learn about it the less effective it seems like it will be.
So the path left is conversion to renewable power based only on renewable power plus batteries becoming cheaper than fossil in straightforward market terms.
Someone accused me of bias this morning. Specifically, bias against MAGA and Trump supporters. Apparently it's disappointing to discover that I'm not the morally neutral arbiter of truth they imagined me to be.
So let's talk about it. Let's talk about my neutrality. A thread. 🧵
@cavyherd @VampiresAndRobots @futurebird 99.999% sure it is.
Synthetic training ultimately results in a breakdown of a model in a generation or two. They need non-synthetic input. And what better way than to mass deploy a system where users identify the outputs so they don't have to.
Except it's still pretty synthetic. We're being fed some pretty poorly made results and we don't understand our instructions. (Should I click this one? Will it count against me if I click it?) And of course they're low resolution too, which makes it that much harder for us to even determine what they are even supposed to be.
So I guess the good news is we're giving it at least some bad data. 😁
