After a lot of editing, I officially passed my book manuscript to my first editor, out of two editors it will go through.

Now I have to start working on a lot of charts so that I can insert them by the time the editors are done in a couple months.

Yeah you'd tip from an alt.

And yeah you could check the 'realness' (for lack of a better term) of a profile I suppose.

But most people would just see the zapped amount and judge it off that.

We gonna have zap police? Lmao.

Every altcoiner is playing a game of trying to make their money and getting out before it all collapses. And no, I'm not talking about a bear market.

I'm old enough to remember BitMessage. NIP-04 does what that project wanted to do much more simply. I'm waiting for email clients to implement support for Nostr messages.

Many years ago Jeff Atwood wrote an article about how phones and tablets' big innovation was that they were "instant-on" devices that you could just tap and do something with at anytime.

Today my phone takes at least 60 seconds to be fully operational if it is turned off. My desktop just went from turned off from having a web browser operational in 20 seconds. But even if you count the phone in standby mode as "off" and you can turn it on by just unlocking it, it still takes 10+ seconds just to open the browser, then the time it takes for you to type something and the relative slownless of opening any webpage makes it worse than the desktop.

Any news on the aliens?

Shitcoins are getting rekt.

I spent several hours tonight in an Ordinals Space speaking with them. It was me versus 12 Ordinal fans. I felt like I was in enemy territory.

I mentioned during the space that I don't want my financial transactions sitting next to an image on the Bitcoin timechain.

I mentioned that I don't feel right about Ordinals and Inscriptions essentially taking up 4X the block space, but not paying 4X the fees. They are consuming valuable space, but not providing the value to the miners. They're getting a discount and that's not right, because it feels like an oversight or an exploit. They're abusing the system.

I mentioned that Bitcoiners want to help the developing world by providing them with financial freedom. We don't want to draw all over them.

My main concern was that there are several worrying trends that are starting to pop up and we aren't even two weeks into this yet. I hope that if this trend continues that the Ordinal and Inscription fans will come together with the vast Bitcoin community and fix the problem before it gets worse.

Their main counterpoint was that Bitcoin is free speech and that includes artwork. While I don't fully agree there, I understand that argument. I also understand that no one controls Bitcoin and Bitcoin can do whatever it and people want it to do.

While I do not agree with all of this, I am looking at this as a win for Bitcoin. Yes, it's actually good for Bitcoin. I have had a dozen Ethereum maxis DM me so far and ask me how to run a Bitcoin node and how to run a Lightning node. I'm looking at this as an orange pilling moment. This is how we win.

Goodnight. PV!
