Mastodon is the internet's strategic furry reserve, and may god help us if we ever need it.
The only real risk is influential, bad actors not letting the existential crisis go to waste. Uncontroversial consensus changes can quickly become controversial if people start trying to shoe horn their pet features into the fork.
The wildest fucking professional story of 2024 is that this old CTO of mine reached out and asked for a quote for evaluating a project he had been working on.
Turns out the guy had just basically Howard Hughes-ed himself up in his new PNW mansion and had been jam sessioning with ChatGPT for 10 months, inventing some new cryptography-centric product.
All of his notes were basically transcribed conversations with chat GPT. All of his pitch decks were AI slop. When I gave him a quote on how much equity I wanted to evaluate the work, he replied back with a ChatGPT consultation, saying I deserved way less.
I personally think the guy was already a sociopath who didn't truly believe other people actually existed, but went legit peeing-in-jars crazy once he met ChatGPT
If you need any sign that we are still early, there were people so surprised that $HAWK was a rug, that they sued that bitch.
So unfathomably early.
Or maybe you just meant anarchist.
You say you're a libertarian, which implies you u derstand economics, which is the study of allocating scarce resources where they are demanded most. But you can't have an efficient system of resource allocation, if you can't reliably predict and manage who you let into the economy.
Migrating is natural, but so is tribalism. A group's ability to signal that these resources are already spoken for is why force exists. Bring a stronger force or move on.
Nostr timeline is getting way more dank. Are we low key getting fresh blood?
Oh my god it's almost over. Tomorrow I can go home, see if the cat is still alive, return to the predictable, mundane consequences of my responsible life decisions, hunker down in my fortress of solitude, and count my invisible internet dubloons.
I only check X when I'm turbo-bored, and I always regret it.
X really has gotten very bad. Heavily peppered among my legit follows, my timeline constantly pushes conservative rage bait and recycled viral TikTok/Insta time wasters.
Oh wow that's pretty bad.
What is the worst Christmas song ever, and why is it "We Need a Little Christmas"?
My bitcoin evangelism strategy going forward will be "Look, even if you don't get it or think it's a scam, it's going to be so integrated into your stock portfolio, your governments, and your employer, you will already have exposure to its risk profile. You aren't really protecting ypurself by avoiding it, because you can't avoid it. And you aren't reaping any rewards, because you think you can."
Trying not to get ahead of myself with the job search, but I am already fantasizing about giving extremely short notice.
"Sorry boss. With the shortfalls in my target revenue over the past 3 bonusless years, I have had to suspend my two-week-notice policy. Please accept this $100 Amazon gift card as a token of my appreciation."
Garfield is the perfect representaton of a bitcoin pleb. Despised by the overthinking soyjaks for his wild success. And he is orange.
Orange cat good.
Damn, bro really did me dirty saying he 1K zaps mid posts. 🫠
I'm absolutely crying over here. 😏😂
If nothing else, I can attest that he is indeed a man of his word. 🤙

Perhaps "mid" is harsh. Basically, I make sure the note is not from the typical zapfluencooors.
"What is it like, having executed a long-range investment thesis of robotically buying bitcoin for ten years, and trying to explain your success (which is orders of magnitude better than every quant and trad financial analyst on Wall St) to people on bluesky?"
