X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m.
Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?
If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

“.. What will matter now is how markets will price in Bessent’s ‘3-3-3 rule;’ 3% budget, 3% GDP, and 3 million barrels of oil output. A direct implication is lower Treasury yields as the budget deficit is cut in half, and lower energy prices would bring inflation further down.”
