Thank you, I knew it was a scam and muted the sender. Thanks for looking out for us though.

Iām going Jeff, canāt wait!!!
Most of Bitcoin Nostr gets the money. Some get the energy. But not enough get the AI.
Watch these two videos back-to-back and youāll see the next layer click into place.
First is a breakdown of AI-native firmsācompanies run almost entirely by autonomous agents. Not theoretical. Itās already happening. These firms donāt scale through hiringāthey scale through compute. Human labor isnāt just optionalāitās inefficient.
Then listen to Jeff Booth lay out the macro layer. Fiat systems cannot adapt to exponential deflation from AI and automation. Itās not a policy issueāitās a physics issue. And he says it flat:
āIf weāre entering a world of AI and automation, then the best thing we could have is Bitcoin.ā
Why? Because in the world thatās coming, cost isnāt measured in dollars. Itās measured in compute and energy. AI doesnāt care about legacy abstractions. It optimizes for throughput. And the only ledger capable of pricing energy, latency, and cost in real time, with no central distortion, is Bitcoin.
Gold is too slow. Fiat is fake.
Bitcoin is the base layer for machine incentives.
AI will chase the cheapest energy. Bitcoin mining already does. Theyāre converging toward the same thermodynamic truth. Thatās the loop. Thatās the alignment.
If we donāt anchor intelligence to energy, it gets captured by power.
Bitcoin is how we make AI serve lifeānot control it.

Bitcoin isnāt for AI. Itās what keeps it human-aligned.
People who donāt understand that falling labor costs mean falling prices will keep resisting automation and technology, and in doing so, they end up driving costs even higher.
These unionized Uber drivers believe theyāre improving their pay to keep up with rising expenses, but theyāre missing the larger point. If every sector pushes for higher wages while also expecting the cost of goods and services to stay low, it creates a contradiction. The only reason platforms like Uber could compete with regular taxis in the first place was because they operated with lower overhead and fewer labor constraints. You canāt raise labor costs across the board and expect prices to stay the same. Everyone wants to earn more and pay less, but that balance is impossible when people fail to recognize they are on both sides of the trade in any market.
This cycle is entirely predictable. Most people still havenāt grasped the deflationary reality of technology. As Jeff Booth explains, technology is supposed to drive prices down by making processes more efficient and reducing the need for human labor. Thatās not a bugāitās the point. But instead of allowing deflation to benefit everyone through lower costs, the current system fights it by printing money to preserve the illusion of growth, which ends up distorting market signals and inflating asset prices.
Technology lowers the marginal cost of everything it touches. That means labor, across the board, becomes less economically valuableāand in a truly functioning system, prices would fall to reflect that. But instead, wages stagnate, prices rise, and people fight to claw back purchasing power through unions and legislation, not realizing that the core problem is the monetary system refusing to let deflation happen.
Once again, the nostr:nprofile1qqsg86qcm7lve6jkkr64z4mt8lfe57jsu8vpty6r2qpk37sgtnxevjcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqz9thwden5te0dehhxarjv4kxjar9wvhx7un8evhvq0 thesis is unfolding exactly as he predicted. Until we shift to a system aligned with technological deflationālike Bitcoināthese contradictions will keep accelerating.

Bitcoin 2025 in Vegas ā itās what you make of it. For me, it was the people. Whether we talked for hours or just a few minutes, I appreciated every moment. Not just the nerd-famous ā but everyone I crossed paths with: taxi drivers, waitresses, even strangers on the street talking Bitcoin. Wish I could list all the amazing peopleā¦ thank you everyone who was a part.
What a great time at the HeatBit booth in Vegas. This will be a very memorable week Iāll remember for a very long time, met so many great people!
Great meeting you Ted, so many of these amazing serendipitous moments of depth over this week. Thanks for being a part! Pretty cool that seat was open. Right after I left In-N-Out and in 10 minutes I met more Bitcoiners and the conversations continuedā¦ all of them were already on Nostr as well. Incredible.
Keep in touch my friend.
Just went through U.S. customs at Vancouver international. The American customs official asked about my purpose of travel to Las Vegas, he then asked about some shitcoin Iāve never heard of and if it was good.
And how about about DOGE coin?
I told him Bitcoin only but if his shitcoins go up sell them immediately for Bitcoin.
The officer at the desk next to him said, see I told youāBitcoin only!
What a game!!!
I really need to get out there soon. You should have invited Pierre to join you, itās about time he starts openly advocating for the real solution out loud!!!
He doesnāt have to be PM to tell the truth.
Either way, looking forward to hearing your thoughts from on the ground there.
Mark Carneyās idea of fixing the housing crisis says a lot about the mindset that created it. After decades of central banks inflating asset prices through artificially low interest rates and easy creditāmaking homes unaffordable for an entire generationāthe proposed solution isā¦ more taxes.
Tax equity. Raise property taxes on people who paid off their homes. Squeeze the middle class again to āhelpā the younger generation. This is the classic banker solution: create the bubble, then pretend to save us from it by extracting more from those who played by the rules.
Itās redistribution without reform. None of it addresses the core issue: monetary debasement. Homes didnāt become unaffordable because of āfree marketsāāthey became unaffordable because homes were hijacked as financial assets in a system where money itself is broken.
Now imagine a different approach.
What if instead of taxing equity, we shifted store of value demand away from housing and into an asset with no ceilingāBitcoin. Put Bitcoin on the balance sheet. Manage inflation transparently. Let capital seek yield in an open monetary protocol rather than hiding in real estate. Over time, that rebalances incentivesāhomes go back to being shelter, not speculative vehicles.
Done right, this strategy could draw housing costs down from the insane 8xā22x income range weāre seeing now to something sane againālike 3x household income. And it does that without punishing those who already own, or pushing people further into dependency on the state.
One model leans on coercion and policy band-aids to mop up after its own failures. The other is a structural fix that reorients capital away from scarcity games and toward open markets.
We have a choice: keep trusting the people who broke the systemāor build something better, from the ground up.
Bitcoin is that path. Not utopia. Just reality-based monetary architecture.
Iām honestly considering El Salvador at this point, maybe I return when Canada has learned through enough pain. I hesitate to act too fast though because Iām in Alberta and weāre not going down this easy into socialism.
Liberal boomers won the election, those that bought houses in the 80s, leveraged up to buy rentals and threw darts randomly into the stock market to get their asset bags pumped. They have sentimental feelings towards the world they think can still exist, they donāt realize itās a dead man walking yet. They donāt realize the financial repression theyāre about the unleash upon themselves and especially their grandchildren.
āSentimentality is a superstructure covering brutality.ā -Carl Jung
Hit up the Pierre event in Calgary earlier today knowing full well that Satoshi is the real change we need.
Pierre isnāt him, but I shook has hand anyway when I had the chanceā¦
According to nostr:nprofile1qqsg86qcm7lve6jkkr64z4mt8lfe57jsu8vpty6r2qpk37sgtnxevjcpzemhxue69uhkummnw3ezummwwdshguewdaexwqgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejqeafcd2 and nostr:nprofile1qqsg2zqd8wkhpnxu6lm5c2dyfa2mhpwte57apjae2ldp6g2mmwf3ypqprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm4wfex2mn59en8j6f0qyv8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnxd46zuamf0ghxy6t69ur4pmt7 Pierre is as orange pilled as it gets.
Exactly. Didi Chuxing used aggressive loss-leading tactics to push Uber out of the Chinese market. They burned billions in subsidies, undercut Uberās prices, and leveraged government connections to make operations harder for Uber (e.g., regulatory roadblocks).
Once Uber bled enough cash and saw no path to profitability, they cut their losses and sold their China operations to Didi in 2016. This is a textbook example of how China lets foreign companies enter just long enough to extract their playbook and capital, then squeezes them outāall while protecting its own domestic champions from foreign competition.
The West doesnāt play by these same rules. Western economies treat competition as an open playing field, while China plays a long game with state-backed advantages and market manipulation.
Funny enough, we were just discussing this phenomenon in the context of āeducationā the other day. My experience working in a Montessori environment was the oppositeāit emphasized the concrete first, using direct tactile experience as the foundation for abstraction. In contrast, traditional education often prioritizes symbols over reality. An apple isnāt actually an āAppleāāthe apple you hold in your hand is the apple. Yet people conflate the symbol with the thing itself, making them susceptible to lexical control and propaganda designed to sever them from direct experience and, ultimately, from constructing reality on their own terms.
