Visiting a village in Malawi that now has electricity because of Gridless and #Bitcoin mining was such an incredible experience.
In Malawi, the median salary is $2.00 per day and in the village we visited, it’s closer to $1.00. Worse, Malawi just had a currency debasement of 44% 3 weeks ago.
It touched my soul to meet and spend time with these amazing people, to see the laughter of the children, and to hear how #Bitcoin is changing their lives.
I would say good luck to anyone who thinks that #Bitcoin can be stopped. Because they are fighting a redistribution of power away from manipulation and exploitation of people back to them and to the free market. 
Last day of vacation. I have been enjoying some much needed sun, self reflection, perspective, and down time. Started reading "The Price of Tomorrow" by nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe thoroughly enjoying it. Thank you Jeff your book is great for beginners like myself.
Much better than the half filled trash heap "Easy Money" I picked up at the airport, out of curiosity. I swear I was cussing Ben at every other paragraph. He practically hits the nail on the head with crypto and then groups #Bitcoin in there as if it's just another crypto scam. I'm litterally sitting here going "how dare he" hahaha how dare he lump bitcoin in with shitcoin as if its not the "immaculate conception of currency"
Anyways I am enjoying my vacation and enjoying this book. But I seriously cannot wait to get home to my wife!
Thanks a bunch and enjoy the vacation.
This discussion was a mind-expander…much the same way that Jeff’s book was…literally loved the discussion. Walked away more curious, and maybe a touch smarter.
Thanks to nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe and nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z for the work they continue to do!!!!
Thanks Mike!
If you measure in Bitcoin, all prices fall forever as prices fall to the marginal cost of production in the free market.
We only use things that give us more value. The market + technology compete to do so - and prices fall as a result.
“Economics” only seems complicated when viewing it through the same system designed to steal from you.

Really enjoying spending time with all of the amazing people at the African #Bitcoin conference.
My pleasure Bryan and great to meet you here.
I suspect not but I will tell him about it.
Theo Katzman is going to be headlining the music festival at Bitcoin Atlantis.
Small world story is that while he was writing his new album (touring now) we did a video call about how Bitcoin changes the world. (And 2 songs on new album are about it).
Incredible musician and I look forward to introducing him to those who don’t know him.
Bitcoin Atlantis in Madeira is shaping up to be a pretty epic event.

Ps - L3 tickets include the music festival.
Enjoyed it very much, thank you. What was the open source LLM you mentioned during the podcast nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe

Fun conversation with my buddy nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z (at least I think it was him and not his AI) about how fast the world of AI is moving.
Likely many years of trying, retrying, bargaining and coercion. Also many years of being liquidated through various tactics, liquidating others foolish enough to trust centralized actors, and socializing the losses in doing so.
While the honest, decentralized and secure ledger just does its thing - and brings an ever increasing amount of people to a network with aligned incentives.
Apple, Google, Meta, Tesla, Nvidia, Amazon must be anxious about the implications of the gift the OpenAI board gave to Microsoft.
