we are entering the phase of the "lying doom loop"
-"So long as the bosses pretend to pay us, we will pretend to work."
-"So long as the gov pretends to need our taxes, we will pretend to pay them."
🤫
The Russian Nobel Prize winner, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn:
“We know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying too, they of course know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying. In our country, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of this country.”
in russia there was this saying: "The eyes are afraid, the mouth is closed but the hands are still doing it"
the best revolts are those that happen in secret.

i keep wondering if it is apathy driving this cycle. people don't seem to want the 🌽 anymore
i have a teenage neighbor who is going to graduate high school and is still confused but is fascinated by energy and power plants. i sent him this guide to starting with an associate degree and working towards a nuclear technician job. Very little capital at risk at his local college.

yeah the engineering mindset of logic and measured results is the greatest training. some get it by studying logic and philosophy or a biological science but it is lost in most degrees that just teach a set of rules and don't ask why the rules exist
i still tell nieces and nephews who are smart to get an engineering degree so they have a base in first principle thinking founded on physics that doesn't change.
AI will be used in these jobs but won't take them away.
I tell the more physical minded relatives to join oil and gas companies laying pipe and working the fields in midland or get a master electrician cert so they can be a high earning tradesman.
AI isn't going to take physical jobs for a long time.
Most people with money struggles should excel in community college first before transitioning for the final two years in state school.
no one should start in a private school u less they are the most academically driven kid you have ever met. the risk isn't priced correctly.
took much doom about the future of AI. be smart and learn things that don't change that are based on physics.
every day seeing my node route payments on the lightning network is truly amazing. some people wake up and check the btc price.
i wake up and check my nodes' routing.
it's like tending a garden of sats
ha! cool made me think you were selling titanium knives 💰
nostr:npub1rx9wg2d5lhah45xst3580sajcld44m0ll9u5dqhu2t74p6xwufaqwghtd4 your comma threw me off when pricing your knife in sats!
no one will use stable coins in the western world once they learn about the public nature of the ledger.
imagine paying for something and exposing your whole spending history and current balance.
it is very rare that i will make an on chain bitcoin transaction without using a swap service
there isn't relative correctness in the universe -- there are only truths that match with reality and those that don't.
if luke is wrong it means he isn't operating from first principle truth. if bitcoiners are wrong it means they are also misguided.
both will be judged equally by reality and the real thinkers will be reinforced by truth and the wrong thinkers will be negated by reality
the hardest part of hodling is the expectation of the future
the more and more buddhism i read the more "non attachment" seems to be the only way to get through this with some level of sanity
people expect negative cpi
it is really fun to run a routing node. like running a small business that barely makes any money 😆
would love technical topics like context window deep dive and RAG
my node has a lot of liquidity. been running for a few years.
coinjoin is still the GOAT
my guess about what is happening: asia is dumping assets either out of malice or necessity
i get the feeling we are entering the economic warfare stage of superpowers.
dollar stable coins vs. new non dollar settlement layers
If mNAV of a company is 1.25 if means an expected growth of the balance sheet of 25% based on current book value. This is pretty tough in a Bitcoin standard unless you have a killer operating business.

2026: US gov takes 20% stake in MSTR. Adds it to sovereign wealth fund. Uses sovereign wealth fund to offset government deficit. CBOE declares budget to be balanced.
budget neutral.
Well off baby boomers are forced to withdrawal funds from their 401k and their kids can't afford housing. So, the parents buy a nice house for their kids and rent it well below market and use the depreciation of the rental property as an offset for their 401k withdrawals. This is why we see more and more house sales in the retirement age and less and less to the young
Eventually the young inherit the house at the current appraised market price once the parents die.
This helps the housing market not crash right away and eases the next generation's struggles.
Happening in all major cities.
prediction: the liabilities off LLMs suggesting something terrible and causing a fatal unintended flaw in a mission critical workflow will one day cause lawsuits of such a grand scale that proprietary "AIs" to be financially liable just like self driving cars.
The only way forward will be usage of open source LLMs with no ULAs attached to them.
The only multi decade financial benefits will accrue to infrastructure providers in the AI boom
seems about the same on my usage. haven't been coding with it, but if token cost is lower might be worth it
