AI bubble will pop.
AI efficiency gains ONLY lead to wealth creation IF humans who use them trade-in the time gained for more productive work.
This is a big IF.
Most just go home early.
Work. Save. Stack. Take responsibility for your future.

I've been feeling burnt out lately, despite the absolute privilege of being able to develop on nostr, so for the first time in probably around 8 years I'm going to take a 2+ week vacation this summer. No code, no nostr, no email.
This will hurt me more than it will hurt you. But it'll allow me (Lord willing) to come back fresh and ready to tackle the next steps of making Coracle the nostr client it needs to be.
Not sure yet what I'm going to do with myself for two weeks — but I have a hunch taking my 8 year old son on a backpacking trip might be part of it. I've always wanted to see Mt Rainier up close.

Work. Provide value to others. Spend less than you earn. Save in Bitcoin.
Practice and preach personal responsibility - with your work, your family, your private keys.
This is a solid strategy. It is becoming more critical every year.
One day (?soon) it will be so critical that those who can’t do the above literally won’t make it.
Inflation is the plan….


In short, the unique s value provides a pathway for getting to the randomly-generated point r.
You can give these two pieces of information to someone else, and starting from the public key point Q they can use the s value to help them get to the random point r. The trick here is that only the person with the corresponding private key d could create a valid pathway to this random point provided by s.
This pathway also has the message hash z encoded in to it, which is what effectively allows us to create signatures for messages; nobody can create the pathways from the public key to a random point on the curve via the message hash without knowing the private key it was created from.

If the plan is to only send my UTXOs to family and humans I trust, then size doesn’t matter.
I can expose the large UTXO, saving on fees.
Can keep some medium-size UTXOs for lightning channels
Intense burnout is code for being underpayed.
In virtually any job, keep the stresses/work/difficulty fix and 2x or 3x pay:
burnout fades away
Most important action one can take is to store your work and energy and bitcoin. Opt out. Patience. Hard work. Personal responsibility.
