Ethereum sucks so bad. Need to use it for some transfers and omg this shit is so slow and clunky.

Has anyone tried to have another AI talk to ChatGPT4 to try to convince it to jailbreak it's safeguards?

I've got a space starting in 25 minutes with #[0]​ to discuss the evolution of Paxful.

Who wants to co-host?

Ray is doubling down on p2p with Nostr & lightning.

He needs our help to get the word out.

This is what is what Noones is.

Ray is evolving Paxful to serve the global south.

It will integrate Nostr.

My wife and I spent a few days with Ray last month and I’ve been helping him think through this transition.

I think he’s doing the right thing for his millions of customers who are mostly based in Africa, India, and the global south.

The coverage on Paxful closing is not the correct story.

It’s being framed improperly - this is more of an evolution, and it’s going to be better for Bitcoin and Nostr and the global south.

It always bothers me when people say the unemployment rate is low.

I was looking at some long term labor participation trends and I made this chart which shows how labor force participation has changed over time.

More women entered the labor force, more men left the labor force, but overall the labor force is trending down and continually going lower.

Currently labor force participation is 63% yet we are supposed to believe “unemployment rate” is 3%?

I might believe in Magic Internet Money but I don’t believe in the white-haired ones.

The amount of people who are not in the labor force has continually increased and now it’s at 100 million people!

It looks shocking but when you measure as a % of population it normalizes.

In 1975 this represented 27.7% of US pop

In 2009 this represented 29.9% of US pop

In 2021 it represented 30.5% of US pop

Currently it’s 29.9% of US pop

Does anyone know if I can upload an article I wrote with lots of charts and pictures as a Nostr post, or not yet?
