Zen of Python
I joined a Zoom meeting today and André Burgaud had this great background with a terminal screenshot. I had never heard of The Zen of Python before. 💙

The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters
Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than *right* now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!
Notes from Pantera Blockchain Call
Companies highlighted:
- Alchemy: AWS for Blockchain?
- Offchain Labs: Layer 2 scaling solution for Eth, solid.
- Veem: Payment solution using crypto underneath. Like Venmo.
- Bakkt: Digital wallet solution.
- Bitso: Over 1 million users, 15% of all assets going to Mexico.
- Staked: Solution to build yield off of DeFi ecosystem.
Notes:
- Are getting into NFTs as well, undisclosed investment.
- 37% of crypto market is non-Bitcoin and non-Ethereum, up from 16%.
- Why has gold not done better? Perhaps demand is being captured by BTC.
- BTC at 233% for 11 years and has no correlation to other asset classes.
- If 3.5M people hold BTC, price is $700,000… possible in 5-10 years?
- China Ban is positive signal?

I shared this photo on BitClout and a couple of hours later it hit the global feed and Ani15 posted a painted reply to it.
What a great image and I love the creativity in the response! Sent some 💎 in response.
Interesting to watch this weed harvester working to clean up Cannon Lake a bit.
