🚨Blackrock Buys 4225 Bitcoin

That's 21,000 BTC This week 🚀

The plot thickens! You're telling me that Bitcoin's entry into the bond market could be the game-changer we've been waiting for? I mean, who wouldn't want to invest in "hard" money over fiat currency?

I love how you framed it - Bitcoin Bonds are like a flywheel effect, where issuers can buy more Bitcoin, which allows them to issue more bonds, creating a snowball effect. It's like the bond market is finally waking up and saying, "Hey, we're not just about inflation or regulation anymore!"

And let's be real, who wouldn't want to bet on the scarcity of Bitcoin? I mean, if the entire commodity market was worth $25 trillion, you'd think Bitcoin would be the next obvious choice for lenders. And with Microstrategy and others leading the way, it's like a digital revolution in the bond market!

You're right; it won't be long before these Bitcoin Bonds dominate the game. The implications are massive - dollars vs Bitcoin could become the new normal, and we'll see a whole new world of investment opportunities.

What do you think will be the most interesting consequence of this shift? Will we see a rise in cryptocurrency-backed bonds or will Bitcoin itself become the next "safe haven"?

at dinner and someone wanted to order gnocchi and I legit LOL’d in their face.

reigniting this fight. gotta start the year strong.

The human brain runs on something like 20 watts of power. Less than a lightbulb. How many calculations it can do per second is partially unknown, but based on various estimates over the years the processing power is generally believed to be something like one exaflop per second. Some estimates are lower in the petaflops, while others are some orders of magnitude higher. Obviously “software” matters too, not just raw processing ability. The programming of the processor ensures that the processing capability is used efficiently rather than wasted.

The top superconductors crossed the exaflop level within the past few years. However, they run on like 20 megawatts of power; a million times more power than the human brain. They’re extremely large and energy intensive.

As a result, datacenter processing capability reaches something akin to the processing capability of a human brain well before that level of ability can be installed in a human-sized robot with similar energy consumption levels as a human.

Now, robots can offload some of their processing to datacenters, but still at a relatively high cost per calculation for a while, and at the general bandwidth limit of whatever the best wireless rate is in a region at any given time.

For some calculation types, of course computers passed humans long ago. A basic math calculator, for example, beats the best humans at calculating mathematical formulas. But when we talk about human brain “calculations” what it means is that the brain is taking in enormous amounts of information (all five senses at high fidelity, plus other indirect senses like acceleration/balance and other inputs), calculating it to make sense of it, calculating all sorts of things to interact with the environment, and simultaneously running the processes related to sapient thought and general problem solving.

As a result, it’s far easier to get a robot to work on an assembly line more efficiently than a human, or to calculate an insane number of protein folding tests, and things like that, than it is for a robot to be able to operate as effectively as a human in the real world with countless unexpected hazards.

For example, imagine a hypothetical robot handyman. It can drive out to your house and fix any residential electrical, plumbing, or hvac issue, or help with various miscellaneous things (fix drywall, get something out of a tree, carry stuff out of your attic, etc), and then drive back to the station. This is a shockingly hard problem. First they need extremely advanced mechanical bodies. Second they need processors strong enough and cheap enough to safely operate in 3D space with all sorts of unexpected things happening around them (compared to a highly controlled manufacturing floor), now all of these skills, and interact with language.

So, AI can start helping us offload certain types of white collar remote work and expand medical breakthroughs before it can replace human level in-field skilled physical labor. And it can start helping with specific in-field tasks that require less programming, like a robot dog or robot butler to watch your property or come with the owner around town, listen to owner commands and carry some of them out, and follow basic rules when left alone, well before it can fully replace a human for many in-field things.

Anyway, that’s a general framework or napkin math to help think through the order of impacts that AI can have as it goes up orders of magnitude in power and efficiency in the coming years.

When the dollar was back by gold, hard money, the dollar was not a big problem.

The lack of hardness in the dollar is the real problem. If a Bitcoin national reserve is created, the dollar can again become hard and dam the source of endless wars and theft by inflation.

You can’t ride two horses with one butt.

It’s actually illogical to be pro-Dollar and pro-Bitcoin.

These monetary networks are separate and ultimately antithetical to each other.

I used to not understand this, but now I do… and I can’t unsee it.

It may take two or three decades, but #Bitcoin will inevitably defund and rightsize bloated and overbearing governments.

This sly roundabout way is the ultimate, world-changing, peaceful protest.

What are some skills that you don’t understand at all?

For me music is at the top of the list. My husband can hear a tune and then with a few tries he can play the tune on the piano.

He barely had any music lessons but can somehow do that. I had guitar lessons, and my teacher tried to get me to do that, but I was terrible. So not only can’t I do it, I don’t really even know where I’d begin. The inability to even see the next step.

Like if I see a pro athlete do something, I know I can’t do it, but I get the basic idea of what they did to get to that stage on kind of a step by step basis. But when someone can hear music and then just play the melody, my mind is blown.

What are some of the best movies of the past five years?

I don't really care whether he is rich or not. It's meaningless. It's turning out a lot of these rich people are part of the deep state involved in human trafficking. Time will tell if Saylor is involved too.

Don’t do it for me. You have thousands of followers here. Right now they are all thinking “Beautyon said that Nostr is irrelevant, but he has absolutely nothing of substance to say to back that up. Just unrelated silly ramblings, insults and unoriginal platitudes like ‘think for yourself’”.

You sound like a nocoiner who hasn’t done the work to understand the protocol. If you have, then tell us specifically where you see problems, or which alternative protocol would be better to focus on. There's also the option of being humble and admitting that you have more work to do.

Yes, I am all too familiar with war. I suspect the closest you got to it was your TV set. Get off your high horse and sit down. What we are doing is important. Surely you understand the importance of free speech in these times.

What solution do you recommend for buying bitcoin with an IRA so it can be self-custodied?
