настало время рассказать про главного питомца, хотя тут по-хорошему рассказывать должен nostr:npub1q0syz8yz7r3cyh9ups24jnrjtgrfrxccm808kv0lcps83fxsvjusqdhs6f а не я. потому что Зося (тут он скажет что она Софья, но я вообще зову её Кот Котовский и в мужском роде, и что вы мне сделаете) появилась задолго до меня. короче говоря, главный хозяин оставит свои комментарии ниже, если захочет, а я пройдусь по основному )

Зосе 15 лет, она вполне себе бодра и весела, в том числе благодаря тому, что в прошлом году мы её стерилизовали. я хотела сделать это ещё 5 лет назад, но тогда мне сказали что в 10 лет делать кошке полостную операцию это безумие, она старая и вообще не переживёт. а потом мы стали ходить в нормальную ветеринарку и оказалось что никакая она не старая для этого даже в 14 )

потом пришлось сделать ещё одну операцию, ушить грыжу, потому что после первой она была в ярости, скакала как слон и у неё разошлись швы. а ещё она тогда разбила мой любимый стакан.

с февраля этого года мы воюем с котьей аллергией непонятно на что. кот чешет уши и лицо до крови. сначала думали на блох, потом исключали пищевую аллергию, потом обвинили комнатный цветок, сейчас провожу эксперимент с заменой наполнителя в лотке. вроде более-менее сработало, почти не чешется. а может помогают бесконечные обработки от блох (хотя другие животные не замечены в чесании, но ху ноуз).

короче, кот хороший. мы с ним сначала друга не любили, потом сильно полюбили. любит сидеть на ручках, очень говорливый, облизывает людей, спит вместе, ест вкусную еду и живёт хорошую долгую жизнь. пока Зяка была не стерилизованная, Зося постоянно мыла её, как будто это котёнок. после операции видимо какой-то запах ушёл (а может после полового созревания) и теперь такой прям любви у них нет, но вместе спят часто.

не знаю что ещё рассказать, просто люблю кота!

Built in the 1100s by Saladin, the massive Citadel of Cairo was the seat of government and residence of the various rulers in Egypt for centuries all the way until the 1800s.

In addition to its large size for the era, the citadel included a complex well system that pulled water up from the Nile.

From atop the citadel, you can see far across the city, including to the Giza Necropolis.

Some of my favorite accounts on Twitter/X share the most interesting videos of animals being weird or cute.

Adorable kittens, intelligent crows, kangaroos that are petting dogs, comical sloths, etc. Weird facts, especially nature stuff.

I purposely follow that stuff because otherwise it's 100% posts about inverted yield curves and bitcoin and stock market breadth and stuff like that.

Would love to see accounts posting that kind of thing on Nostr.

It's annoying to copy your nsec from your phone to the browser's extension on a computer.

What would you prefer?

1. get the desktop to turn on the camera to scan an app-generated QR code with the nsec?

2. find a way to represent the nsec as a list of words so that people can easily write them from one device to another.

Any other ideas?

Use an app like 'Wormhole'

As developed nations continue to enter sovereign debt crises akin to the 1940s, there are a few main outcomes.

Option 1) In a world without bitcoin, or if bitcoin fails, central banks and their governments recapitalize themselves with gold, devalue the people, and do another cycle of this inflationary policy for the next few generations. The Treasury/Fed handbook literally has a written option for this, although it is stated more opaquely. It can be done in the US (and probably many other countries) based on current laws if shit hits the fan. Denmark's central bank and China's economic ministers have also written similar things regarding extreme outcomes. It's pretty straightforward based on the past.

Option 2) We go into a centralized technocratic future. Centralized AI and CBDCs win. People have cuck money that the AI+government control. It's like Brave New World, 1984, take your pick. Hard to say, but not free.

Option 3) Open source money wins. Bitcoin and its ecosystem win. Governments get defunded from their fiat printers, and have to be more honest with their ledgers or default and get reconstructed since they can't print what their people hold as savings, or in the hegemon's case, can't print what the world holds. Probably a world of chaos for a time during the transition, but also an opportunity for peace and building the next era. Keeping track of the nukes would probably be a big deal, like when the Soviet Union fell. It's actually kind of remarkable that they collapsed economically and politically but in an orderly enough way to keep track of and secure most of the nukes.

I don't know which one will win, but I consider Option 3 to be the honorable method; the path of transparency. That's the one I am rooting for and building for.

If I fail, I would like it written that it's the method I tried for, but realistically the AI+government will probably delete most of the records of all of the failures anyway, since that is how history works, without any sort of objective truth keeper. Our best hope is to hide records in a distributed way and hope they can remain undisturbed for a while. At least bitcoiners have a tendency to write stuff in steel and make low time preference things. Some psychopath will hopefully carve a life work in steel in a cave or something, but who knows, lol.

And ironically, if Option 3 wins, any of the losing factions could still insert their ideas and paths into the Bitcoin blockchain, now or in the future. It's the most immutable database that we know how to build, and would preserve their ideas as it does our ideas. Like, you know what? I *want* the Communist Manifesto to be in the immutable Bitcoin blockchain, because I want people in the future to know how *bad* it is. It might already be in there; I don't know. I wouldn't want people centuries from now to think about those ideas and believe they came up with something new; I want to preserve my enemies' texts because I believe I can win through markets, force, virtue, and truth.

I think that's almost always what determines the winning side. Losers want to burn their enemies' texts to ensure that their good ideas don't spread too much. Winners want to preserve their enemies' texts to ensure that their bad ideas are never repeated.

I've got a fresh example of a such survivability. In February 2022 right after Russian invasion in 🇺🇦 Moscow authorities have finally closed "The Echo of Moscow" radio station. Also they have closed it's internet site & YouTube channel. They deleted *all* saved video, audio and text materials. Almost all digital history of an neutral radio station where alternative opinions were so popular - was lost. A lot of journalists were forced to immigrate.

But in one and a half years a large number of enthusiasts scattered around the world has successfully gathered most of Echo's audio and text legacy and opened free public access to it. Separate pieces of this archive were stored here and there on different network resources and on listeners' computers. It was a hard job to glue the pieces together.

This restoration has inspired many freedom-loving Russians. Believe me, there are many of them.

And I hope the common sense will be able to overcome the chaos that we are likely to encounter and put together distributed ledgers. I'm glad to see that you think the same.

Unless someone is setting out to be a professional author (very hard), nobody should write a book to make money.

When I set out to write Broken Money, it was because I *had* to, not because I wanted to. Spending a thousand hours on something that I get a profit of $5/copy for is not my best use of time.

Any time I spent on my research business revenue generation content, or leaning harder into my venture capital partnerships, would have been better on an hourly ROI basis. I have to sell 40 books to equal each newsletter subscription on my website; clearly the latter is better financially.

Almost regardless of how many copies I sell, it's a bad ROI for me. I'm overworked and the fact that I wrote a book while maintaining my existing business stressed my relationship and social life. And further, I am reinvesting most of my initial profits; the first 1,000 copy profits go to the Human Rights Foundation Bitcoin Development Fund, and the next 4,000 copy profits will go towards making a video about money and why it's broken.

And all of it was worth it. When a creator has something in their head, it's painful until they get it out into the world. I wrote this for bad ROI but because I wanted it to be out there for people to read, period.

Will I make a profit? Yes. But at a much lower hourly rate than I make on other work I do. It's a negative profit compared to having reinvested that thousand hours into my other existing work. But I consider it to be more important, which is why I spent the time.

I wrote Broken Money because I had to. The book concept formed in my head after many years of writing and research regarding money, and it would have been increasingly distracting to *not* write it. I didn't realistically have a choice. I felt compelled to write it. Part of it was altruistic; I wanted people to learn from my total monetary framework thoughts over five years of research. Part of it was egotistical; I wanted to timestamp something in the world, in physical form, and put it out there. Maybe it's the low time preference part of me; I'd like something of me to be mentionable to people in the distant future who look back at this time.

My background has been a blend of engineering and finance, with both ironically pointed toward bitcoin.

I don't care where you buy it from, and you can pirate it if you want, but it benefits bitcoin and nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak if you buy it from his website. Circular economy rather than big fiat business. We've introduced a special edition hardcover with a cloth cover and dust jacket for those that prefer that premium format, only on his website. And you can buy it in fiat or sats.
