The Bitcoin developer ecosystem self selects for mission driven individuals over opportunists

Any notable Bitcoin dev could make 3X more building spy tools for FAANG, but it's not about money, it's about fixing the money.

This is a huge contrast to the Shitcoin / AI space

Hearing rumors of such a course being made around pleblab recently 👀

Stare into the eye of AI Suaron for your shitcoin airdrop anon

I will not eat the bugs

I will not live in the pod

I will not scan my iris for your shitcoin

The first ever nostrdevs in Austin is happening today at noon at pleblab

You can’t stop me from zapping you though

Brap’ Brap’ Zap

Don’t tell my wife 👀

Austin Bitcoin Club what’s zappening?

For me laser eyes used to mean NGU, now it means laser focus.

Three interesting terms that all basically mean the same thing:

- Pseudonym

- Smurf

- Sybil

Attention: high time preference

Retention: low time preference

Would love if someone built a vape with a lightning wallet built in that streamed sats to open sats every time I take a hit lol

For phone addiction you could imagine pulling screen time info and having a wallet push payments once a week 1 sat per minute or something like that

What’s zappening my plebs

It took me about 8 months in the Austin Bitcoin community to transition from having no opportunities and saying yes to almost anything to having too many opportunities and saying no to almost everything.

It’s possible again to build apps that move money and move messages without friction

Companies are scrambling to get caught up on Lightning/nostr

Someone already zapped me 😂 I literally just enabled it and haven’t told anyone yet

Open protocols, open networks, free open source software, freedom money, all coming together, it’s so beautiful 🥲
