Intriguing investigation by Cyphertux though.
Reminds me of Jan Smuts' idea of Holism. Basically a universal life force that pushes the creation of more complex systems. Evolution by chance apparently doesn't explain the speed of complex adaption of species.

Tomorrow I'm talking with Andy Yen on nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8
Andy is the Founder/CEO of Proton ( nostr:npub1mea2vwcu06qf7e4x00wd902vj54qnn2jacq76ldntrgfhtvhlpqqrvqane , ProtonVPN, etc) & we'll be talking about the launch of nostr:npub18s4zkd0wjq5gkthz4paw2704ty4s354wcp2krvxy0sewz3g9z2cs73ydrt — a self-custodial #Bitcoin wallet which they're releasing to their 100 MILLION customers. Let me know if you have any questions for Andy 👇

I'm concerned that the link of private jeys to an email address is a security weakness.
Ya’ll want Nostr Lyn to write a sci fi novel in whatever spare time she has, or get back to finance?
SciFi SciFi SciFi...
Danny and I just wrapped up the final episode of What Bitcoin Did at Bitcoin Park, recording with some of our closest friends in #bitcoin - nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle , nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and nostr:npub10cxz2h7n6rumfpuf49zt4uvm7skzqk5u25vesp0tzdtnkvsnwjyqaffcj3, along with special appearances, including my son.
The episode will be released on August 30th. After that, we'll take a week off before launching our new show (the worst-kept secret).
After 7 years, 860 podcasts, countless flights, and visiting about 40 countries, the time is right. Time is precious. I need to travel less and focus on Bedford, the football team, family and bringing to life everything we've discussed over the past 7 years.
I believe we're entering a new era where #bitcoin is a legitimate part of every conversation. Our new show will reflect this, so we’re building a studio in London and evolving the format where #bitcoin is the heartbeat not the headline.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this. I couldn’t have done any of this without the kindness and generosity of so many of you, especially nostr:npub16le69k9hwapnjfhz89wnzkvf96z8n6r34qqwgq0sglas3tgh7v4sp9ffxj .
I'm humbled by it all and everyone of you.
Big love ✌🏻
Thank you both so much for all the learning you provided 🙏
So what was the no-show's excuse for keeping a presidential candidate waiting, or more importantly all the Bitcoiners?
As the number of Bitcoins held by corporate custodians on behalf of ETF issuers etc. rises (now >900k), so too does the probability that the government will confiscate them for their own Treasury at some point in the future, like happened with gold in the past.
Thanks Lyn for another helpful explainer article. I have two comments:
a) You seem to like the Primal Nostr client but it appears that in order to connect a wallet you need to supply personal info such as name & email & shoe size etc.?
b) The upside of a 'global' payment address/account list is clear from the examples you give, however I do wish there was some way to prevent unwanted funds (& NFTs etc.) being added to your wallet; I hope the ability to do this blocking may come with future smart wallets.
Hi Lyn, since yiu asked for approx generation etc. I wondered if you analyzed the responses to your question somehow? If so what was the result?
Apocalypse Now. And many other books that I see listed by others hear as well. Too many.
Edge-case boomer. The Drifters (Michener), Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged & Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal (Ayn Rand). StarTrek. Tommy by The Who, The Doors, Bob Marley, Cold Fact - Rodrigues.
Okay tried it on another browser and got it right.
Ask and you shall receive. The market speaks.
A lot of people wanted to be able to buy #BrokenMoney using money that isn't broken, and I've been coordinating with Saifedean for the past month in preparation for his bookstore launch to make that possible upon launch.
On https://thesaifhouse.com/ you can now buy my book Broken Money in hardcover, ebook, or audiobook (pre-order) with fiat, on-chain bitcoin, or bitcoin over Lightning. You get a 10% discount for paying in bitcoin.
The hardcover version on his site is also a unique edition. Rather than a laminate cover, this one has a cloth cover and dust jacket, manufactured via the same supply chain that his new book Principles of Economics is.
This is great as I was struggling to get it where I am, and I'd rather pay with BTC.
It looks like Saif's site has a few problems though - I can't seem to add more than one book to the trolley. The View Cart button shows an empty pop-up even though the basket icon had a '1' on it.
The King of Redland just increased his milking herd by six.
I am going to our local bookstore today to ask them to order Broken Money for me. Very keen to read it. Thank you for making the effort to write this book.
Sometimes I sit and think and sometimes I just sit.
In the West people would probably say I'm a bit simple;
I the East they may think I'm a yogi.
