Bitcoin and the separation of money from state.

Great. Just a small issue then

Yes. It makes it feel more like the fiat system.

I stay calm in meetings by knowing I understand bitcoin.

I’m a simple man. Time for a lifting session to enjoy talk of the supercycle with nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs, nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and nostr:npub16le69k9hwapnjfhz89wnzkvf96z8n6r34qqwgq0sglas3tgh7v4sp9ffxj on What Bitcoin podcast

Reverse seared a few sirloin steaks for the first time. Absolutely amazing

2025 Nostr Predictions:

1. Algos will seriously challenge follow lists. Clients will de-emphasize the author to focus the post's merit on the content itself and push algos further.

2. First ad-based, VC-backed Nostr client will appear and seriously challenge incumbent clients on UX quality from the revenue model's deep pockets.

3. The Nostr Android ecosystem will evolve to be the proven app decentralization model for all other platforms. App-to-App communication takes over as a Nostr layer 3. Users are on-boarded to a Store, not to a single client.

4. Local-first clients with shared pool of events will become the only way to create a "good enough" performant experience on Nostr without using centralized caching servers, blurring the lines of online and offline.

5. First AI-native Nostr client attempts to render and react to any Nostr content based on voice/chat commands only. The notion of a "feed" disappears. AI-made content starts to challenge human-made content for top zaps and trending posts.

6. Moderated communities are re-born, grow slowly but consistently over time. Safe spaces that create genuine connections and clean, authentic content become a valueable revenue source for moderators.

7. Nostr libraries continue to have a hard time defining stable abstraction layers for Nostr clients to use. Which will lead to a NIP-like repo especifically designed to enable the development of interoperable abstractions that can overtake the complexity of the Nostr relay network protocol.

Point 5 seems obvious once you’ve read it. Obvious and scary.

Not something you want to have to enter on a phone keyboard!

The big boys are starting to play

Ray Dalio prefers Bitcoin and gold over bonds as global debt surges. A strong endorsement of Bitcoin as ‘hard money’ and a hedge against economic uncertainty. #Bitcoin #Gold #EconomicCrisis

Being grateful when my son exceeds my capabilities

Doesn’t have the same ring..

nostr:npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l as both a deep thinker and a person of faith, I’m curious about how your belief in God aligns with the idea of ‘don’t trust, verify’ in the Bitcoin world. How do you balance these perspectives? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
