Those guys would’ve loved bitcoin.

Where did you find this gem?

literally? Organizing my hard drive šŸ˜‚

Unfortunately I didn't save any tweet or link in the comments of the file, nor seem to have an Obsidian note linking to it. So all I have is the name and description, which I left above. If you find out more let me know. I'll add it this time so i have some context to dig further in the future.

Digital dumpster diving is how I find some of my best stuff. šŸ˜†

How do you like Obsidian? I’m a long-time, daily Roam Research guy, but Obsidian is looking good.

If you like Roam you should also check out LogSeq. I found it to be a better fit for my use case when I was looking for a Roam Research replacement. šŸ¤™

API? And can I easily host it on my server and/or from a cloud service location?

There’s also Tana. Great design, but I’ve found it a bit overwhelming.

I use logseq along with Obsidian, reading from the same database, it's neat.

I had used Obsidian for my Read/Episode notes and Roam for my daily brain dump for a long time. But at some point I couldn’t get over the monthly charge of Roam when Obsidian made it so freaking easy to host my own vault on whatever ā€œcloudā€ I wanted. I used iCloud but even with Tailscale that wasn’t even necessary. That simplicity made the Roam fees feel pointless.

It wasn’t until about 2 months ago that I realized that with a handful of plugins and some customizing the UI that I could make Obsidian behave like Roam, that I finally went full Obsidian.

I still don’t like the back links view quite as much as Roam, but I’ve since changed a bit on how I use it to get around it.

If I had to do it over, I would’ve wished that Roam had a REST API and I could easily host my own vault like Obsidian and I would’ve moved that direction. But as it stands, the value of Obsidian due to both of these, plus many other smaller features and plugins, makes it the better option for my setup.

Thanks for the thoughtful review. It does feel like Roam is stuck in the mud. I’ll take another run at Obsidian.

Guy, I totally agree. Have used Obsidian since beginning of the year. I was curious, what Bill Gates Foundation has financed.

So I downloaded 12 years of gigantic PDF files from the BMGF website, saved them as textfiles, then searched through all of them at once using some keywords. The backlinks helped to get further insight.

historical!

As always, a beautiful beginning unfortunately degenerates over time. Bitcoin takes us back to that beginning, but will it endure the rest of time?

*test of time, but might as well be the rest of time

is that yours ?

I wish. I’ve casually looked for one to no avail.

Very cool

Wish they had

That's a dope ass coin

Thanks for the gem. Zap!

happy belated birthday

The trust system of #Bitcoin is the true innovation.
