I love that he's going on all these podcasts before the government throws him in jail. Can you please ask him to publish the Samourai wallet code with MIT Press like Phil Zimmerman published PGP.

If the government wants to throw people in a cage for writing code, that code might as well be published into a book.

Why not 8 locks with the same key? What am i missing?

Who's hacking on Taproot Assets?

just hold bitcoin. Its not that hard

Wow.

I created a Facebook account just now to see what's available on marketplace. They somehow figured out my real name and birthday based on the email address (different one than the one I used back when I had an account many years ago) and when I tried to delete the account, it keeps saying that the password is wrong (despite it being fine for logging in). What sort of dystopian nightmare is this?

It's been a journey. Obviously we underestimated the challenges. It's getting good, really good

Who’s Joe Rogan?

Love the rapid-fire style! 😄

Crypto to me is more than just money, it’s a whole new digital system with freedom and innovation at its core.

Bitcoin is like the pioneer, but crypto goes way beyond that - smart contracts, decentralized apps, and projects that can reshape how we interact online.

NOSTR definitely has potential! A decentralized platform that could change how we use social media? Super exciting concept. I’m really passionate about learning more in this space! 🔥🔥

As for food, either my thai inspired chicken coconut curry with zoodles, or one of my high protein vegan pasta recipes 🫶🏽 aaand vegan dark chocolate&rum bday cake is honestly the best cake, we have it on repeat in my family now for almost 5 years ♥️

No, because it wasn’t controversial outside of a narrow band of people looking to create a wedge in order to promote alternative implementations to core or do marketing for Ocean.

Nothing bad happens as long as someone is willing to pay for wasted storage in blocks but the block size is not increased.

I agree with a lot of what you're saying — Bitcoin can and should be able to handle some noise. Graffiti on the monument is fine, and yeah, it’s a pretty honest reflection of humanity.

The concern isn’t about the JPEGs themselves — it’s about the direction of the response. What worries many of us is that instead of letting node runners decide how to handle this kind of activity on their own, the current maintainers of Bitcoin Core are removing those choices. Filters that let you ignore spam? Deprecated. Settings that help lower-resourced nodes protect themselves? Quietly being raised 1000×. People who have tried to raise concerns about this issue have been banned from GitHub, including me. Not for abuse — just for disagreement.

So it’s not about “Bitcoin can’t handle scribbles.” It’s about whether people running sovereign nodes are still allowed to say, “Not on my relay.” That’s not central planning — that’s local control. And the fear is that we’re watching that get eroded.

Suppose Bitcoin can survive trolls, great. However, it should also withstand people saying 'no thanks' to troll payloads. That’s what decentralization means — not just a protocol, but permission to dissent. If we lose that, even quietly, it changes the culture of Bitcoin more than JPEGs ever could.

Have you been living under a rock? There are tons of ways to do this 😝 haven’t you heard of the cloud ☁️?!?

I dont know why I can't get around this in my head but I'm fully convinced that the singular problem with P2P as the foundation of the internet is simply that we could never monetize it.

I mean seriously P2P dominated all web traffic for more than half a decade. And that's *without* any way to monetize, and it was only when the establishment capitulated that things shifted back.

Now we have numerous decentralized and P2P protocols and an open digital money to monetize it all without any third parties, and we have Ai expanding the capability to write software more than any other tool in internet history... and I can't see how this doesn't swing back in a massive way.

In other words - I think people who are discounting P2P because of limitations and failures of the past, aren't properly understanding the past or its limitations, imo.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I intend to put it to the test.

Good uses of #AI -

1. To research known positions, conventional or otherwise, within existing bodies of knowledge.

2. To summarize and exercise argumentation towards some productive means.

3. To plan and strategize over complex projects.

4. As an assistant in the production of works, not limited to goods, services, and even the creation of artwork, especially by remixing existing imagery.

TL;DR Google created Alphabet since the book called them out as being a monopoly.

There is a very important line between being courageous and being stupid.

Be courageous when it means something, this is just being stupid. Cool, but very stupid.

This book pretty much says it all!
