Quite a few coins have been seized

what do we hit first?

$70k or $150k?

I’m just realizing I need to be on NOSTR way more and X way less.

Spent ten minutes on X just now and the vibe I got is that everything in the world is going to shit… but then I remembered that there is this little digital village of happy Bitcoiners and tinkerers here and suddenly I ask myself… what am I holding on to? And why? It’s not like X is my livelihood or anything like it. Why am I still fucking with all that X-negativity so much?

Anyway, consider this a statement of intent. A pre-New Year New Year’s resolution, perhaps. I want to be among the free people more. The lifeboaters that have already started rowing for shore. Or are already there and building. I want to be with the ostriches. Not the pigeons.

And here’s a sunrise for ya.

Web-reliant apps always needed to get their data from servers, sometimes multiple servers, and apps always needed to choose a data format.

When apps choose a distinct format and permission their servers, they are not interoperable. When apps choose the same format and open their servers, they are interoperable.

This was true before Nostr, and is true for all web app paradigms.

Relays are just websites doubling as open web hosts. The issue there is all the good relays are gonna censor you eventually, just like any popular website.

Nostr is just another app.

28 Years Later is the most boring episode of the trilogy. SAD!

The 1985 Terry Gilliam movie Brazil is becoming a reality.

Babylon (2022 directed by Damien Chazelle) watched 28th Jan 2023

Elephant shit in my eyes. A Babylon review:

When the credits rolled, I raced out of the cinema to sit in my car, in solitude, amidst heavy rain fall. I was gathering myself, attempting to collect my thoughts on what I had just watched. Reconciliation was difficult; what was the meaning, what was purposeful, what was it all about?

This movie is thoroughly entertaining, no doubt. There are plenty of original ideas here, throughout. But it took a few moments of silent reflection until it started to click for me; This movie is a "love" letter to Hollywood like many recent films have penned (once upon a time in Hollywood, ((insert Brad Pitt old school Hollywood genre is my fav genre joke here)) mank, Hail cesar etc) but this one is different. Self awareness is turned up to 11, and I think a lot of the on the nose jokes regarding the changing of cinema and its effects on the both the audience and the creators are more than meets the eye (poos and farts and all). And it’s not so much a Love letter and more so a stern mirror being held up to show what exactly this Babylonian city has been built upon so far. Quite compelling upon reflection, maybe I’m dumb and everyone else can click onto this in the moment lol. But truth be told I couldn’t think about this during the film as I was either having too much fun or was confused about what was happening.

To explain that, this film doesn't quite completely knock it out of the park, honestly I don't know that the Tobey Maguire gta side mission was needed in its entirety but eh it was still enjoyable.

The assault on the eyes ending does allow for more speculation on the films meaning in some ways. The ending felt like jazz music in a weird way.

Although Babylon doesn't add too the tower that grows closer to God or further from him, it certainly does reflect on it in a non biased and entertaining and thought provoking way.

This growing tower that uses the format of sound and color, is the best elephant shit I have ever had in my eyes.
