Don’t worry, instagram is doing just fine… instagram.com/reel/C4m_9MNIL9Z

Noland Arbaugh, a quadriplegic, on learning to use neurallink:

“So there’s a difference between *attempting* to move it [the cursor] versus *imagining* to move it. Attempting, I feel like is kind of cheating. It’s probably not, but when I attempt to move something it does feel like I’m moving it with, say, my hand or my wrist, even though you can’t see it. To me, I can feel things in my arm moving around. Maybe you just can’t understand, I guess. When I first moved it just by thinking it… it blew my mind for like a day. Like I just could not wrap my head around it. It was so cool.”

Would everyone please stop sha256ing everything?

I started using Bitkey last week and want to share some of my early feedback.

(Bitkey is a tool for owning bitcoin which requires you to use any two of a mobile key, hardware key, and server key for transactions. The hardware key and mobile key can be used to recover each other.)

1.) If I choose to make an encrypted backup of my mobile key for "social recovery", how would I know if my "trusted contacts" lose their encryption key or not? It looks like you already got this feedback from some security reviewers here:

2.) The business structure of Bitkey is unclear to me. I can't tell if Bitkey is a simple part of Block, Inc. or a separate child company.

3.) The long-term incentive structure of Bitkey is unclear to me. Currently it appears that there is only hardware revenue. I wonder if service revenue will ever become necessary.

Overall, I love it! This is the first self-custodial tool I would recommend to my friends and family. My bitcoin ownership recommendations are now the following: 1.) Bitkey 2.) btc etf 3.) Coinbase

Any freedom of association in the discourse these days?

Fiatjaf is insightful as usual. nostr:note144nafdr27wwd0cgs29r2ddg7zz94gww2a8ym6uhf3p76h33uxj9sllh3ht

How tf can I even get non kyc bitcoin? And does this really even matter?

Father forgive me for I have not drank my cup.

Like this...

A nice sentiment.

What part scared him? Nostr could allow a level of global human connection never seen before.
