The banks are slinging credit right now in the US. She's not the only one to use that fact to short the dollar 🤫 When the economy starts to slow this summer Biden is going to crank so hard on the printer 💸💸💸 I'm guessing a record-setting $5T 📈 in new USD supply in 2024.

I use my own locally-hosted un-nerfed GPT model for conversationally exploring/bootstrapping new projects, but I would love a specially designed portable device for hosting my model. Best I could hack together currently is over-the-net communication with my home GPU server but that is highly connection dependent. Rabbit + self hosting option would be amazing.

Smooth brains wanted for future worldwide nanny state.

FYI this update includes removal of NIP-26 delegation support. Let me know if you are a relay member and impacted by this change. This change will improve relay performance, though, capacity still far exceeds load of current members.

Damn.... What have i been eating?

Ecash are promissory notes for sats. Address locking is a cool security feature for protecting against ecash scrapers malware/bots. This alone is reason for them. Address locking ecash does not improve counterparty risk from the mint as the operator (or a signing quorum) can *always* rug all the sats from the mint.

I think the greatest advantage of Fedimint at this moment is that a multisig quorum provides a path for skirting regulations. No single key holder could legally be considered the custodian.

When ETF climate destruction sculpture?

Happy to see ETF whimpering to a start.

Stacking continues to bring bountiful amounts of sats per cuckbuck. We don’t have to worry about value flowing to harder currencies. The rails are built, fiat will be debased further and further, and the value will flow to hard money.

Bitcoin carries value through time. When that value is needed is up to the holder, not a bank, not a government, not an internet community.

Always shocked to find their may be based people (Hester M. Peirce) in the nanny corpo-bureaucratic-state:

All you say is true. Life will be fine. Earth has been much hotter with much more CO2. More CO2 will improve plant growth. And we eat plants so that part is a good thing.

But humans evolved while CO2 was below 400ppm - the last time it was that high, 20 million years ago, there were no humans. We kind of got used to 280ppm.

I'm not saying we can't tolerate it (our speciality is standing upright, sweating, and persistance hunting which means we excel when it is hot... if we go back to the old ways). I'm not saying we cannot adapt (we will build sea walls, people will migrate, a bunch of cold tundra will become livable for the first time).

All I'm saying is this: IF it turns out that the consequences end up sucking for some reason that we did or did not expect (e.g. massively violent storms that no human has ever witnessed, huge unpredictable climate fluctuations that make crop planning nearly impossible, etc), THEN we cannot go backwards, we will just have to live with it for a thousand years.

Because the basic physics of drawing down CO2 are so fundamental that no technological innovation is going to do better than plants already do. And that's no where near as fast as we are emitting it.

Any hopes of a technological innovation in this regard IMHO is a fairy tale. It's not quite as impossible as faster-than-light travel, going backwards in time, or perpetual motion machines, but it is nearly as impractical as humans flying around in jet ships like the Jetsons, costing far more energy to draw down than to emit.

NOTE: I didn't do any research for this post, this is off the top of my head. I may have said something wrong. This was a best effort reply.

We foolishly keep acting like this genie can be put back in the bottle with all this CO2 emission control nonsense. It cannot. We are terraformers. We did it poorly.

Now let’s do it well. Thankfully we have the opportunity to build a sound economy to drive the growth in production we need to terraform at continental scale. The mad pursuit of energy to feed bitcoin miners during hyperbitcoinization will form the backbone of the energy economy we will require to take feet off the ocean and flood the great deserts with desalinated water.

Bitcoiners remember, you mess around with yield hopium and off chain nonsense like hypothecated exchanges, you will get wrecked. A painful experience many of us learned in the early days.
