Congrats to edc and fedi team! Great project

This was great Jeff. Always enjoyed your interviews

Thanks Jeff! Super helpful. Like you I am going to spend as much time as I can in the Bitcoin ecosystem. You do a great job of explaining why the fiat system is doomed and why everyone will eventually migrate to a Bitcoin standard with early adopters (Bitcoin & NOSTR etc) gaining 1st mover advantage. I'll be re reading the Price of Tomorrow as well. Thanks again for all you do in the space.

One of your best interviews, #[2]

Enjoyed the podcast.

We need more articles published explaining why deflation is good.

Human productivity growth should flow into currency value.

Jeff, I’ve learned so much watching and reading you. I felt like in your live appearance on WBD (aired today on YouTube) that you were seriously calling Bitcoiners to action and ringing a major gong.

When you said “they [the government] will *have* to” take down all Bitcoin related program access on GitHub, Windows, Apple, etc., in order to lock everyone they can into the fiat system… a light (or a fire) lit in my brain. I need to take my knowledge of open source systems like Linux and privacy systems like Tor to the next level. I can’t wait anymore. I’m an old poet doodler and letter writer but I need to get way more technically savvy now.

Honestly your talk today felt like an urgent “Paul Revere moment” and I feel l need to spend less time in Spaces listening to chats about “macro” and way more time focusing on the tools for survival that we’ve got in our hands if we just use them.

The fire is lit, Jeff, and I won’t ignore it.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Raged till 4am then went and did a podcast? Beast mode. 😅😜

I’m going to try to get Llama (the leaked version) running locally on my new computer so I don’t have the constraints regarding what it is trained on and how much info I can feed it.

Very curious how these perform with local versions. I think there is a freedom critical race right now between open source AI and closed source, centralized platforms, and it’s critical that we win this race, imo.

You can literally install AutoGPT on your laptop, train your voice into elevenlabs.io , load the API into AutoGPT and then have it ready articles aloud to you in your own voice. Shit's amazing.

If a border guard is going to hold you up for something, this is the top of the list!

How it starts

I still can’t get over how fucking insane these AI tools are and what is being unleashed right now. Guys, you are ALL developers. Seriously, I cannot code, but I’ve spent half the day yesterday (and I’ll have it working perfectly in a bit) on a program to completely automate a daily task with the podcast and website that has been a pain in my ass for YEARS.

If you have a small, easily definable problem or something that takes 4 steps that you want done in 1, **You Can Build it!**

ChatGPT is that big of a deal. I’m not a developer… but I’ve been developing dozens of little scripts and small programs to do things for me and it’s just incredible. This is going to mess SO many things up. It feels like we are in the crux of the curve just before the “straight up” part #[0]​‘s hyper-deflation trajectory. I’m going to have to read The Price of Tomorrow Again to get a better picture of this now that something is so clearly demonstrating how fast this can start moving without any way back.

I hope you guys are fucking buckled up. 🔥

#[0]​ your live WBD in Bedford was very thoughtful. I’ve seen so many of your talks and it’s all becoming increasingly much clearer 🤙🏽

> [Nostr] It's a different paradigm, I think ppl keep wasting time trying to put nostr into other shoes it doesn't fit. Nostr can be Distributed, Decentralized, Centralized, Public, Private and all non-mutually exclusive. I think it's worth exploring it without getting stuck in old labels

This was my reply to a discussion on bird app about Nostr is/isn’t O(N^2).

I think it’s very important to let nostr define a new thing instead of trying to square peg it into some circle hole.

Bitcoin suffered for a good part of its many first few years from people from inside and outside trying to make Bitcoin totally new invention fit some old model.

In a deflationary society with exponential technology wanting to deliver value at ever increasing speeds, all prices will trend to zero

There will be increasing competition to offer more value for less cost

Forgive me... I believe in hyperbitcoinisation 💪... and I'm a fan of #[4]​ 👌
