Made a bet today with a skeptic that Nostr will have more than 1M weekly active users by Jan 31, 2026

We are at ~35k today

That’s about 18 months from now

LFG 🚀

Let Germany sell. Let Gox-holders sell. Let the USG sell. Let El Salvador buy. Let plebs buy. Distribute, distribute, distribute.

Fuck fedimint

Fuck ecash

That’s not #Bitcoin

It’s no coincidence that humanity is discovering digital money and digital intelligence at the same time.

False leaders, false promises.

Trust yourself, trust your intuition.

It is amazing how #bitcoin community supports each other in the most challenging times 🧡

bitcoiners: "It's over globalists, we have the high ground!"

globalists: "You underestimate my POWER!"

Thanks for posting that link.

I haven't read it all but what I did read seems full of rhetoric about 'The free world must prevail over the authoritarian powers in this race. We owe our peace and freedom to American economic and military preeminence. '

Peace and freedom? Plenty of evidence showing American military/CIA is used to terrorize other counties, killing, overthrowing democratically elected governments (like Chili for example), in order to extract resources and minerals (see Confessions of an Economic Hitman).

The author seems to be humming the American national anthem whilst writing. No mention is made of the tyranny being built for Americans, by Americans. No mention of the class war. It's all projected, Freudian style, onto the CCP.

It seems to arrogantly state how America leads in chip manufacture and research over China, which to my understanding is just not the case (check for a recent video interview of a Taiwanese silicon chip lead researcher stating how China has gone from high-school standard junk papers to leading the world in which others, including himself, can't even compete).

Looks like a propaganda piece, based on fear, aimed at the plebs, designed to manufacture consent from Americans and other 'free democracies' to throw all the national resources and political support into building an AI system for their 'safety and security.' I.e. generating demand from the plebs to build a prison for themselves.

Anyone read the entire thing? Perhaps I've missed something.

Incredible read. Halfway through it at the moment. So many knowledge bombs and insight. Very interested to see how bitcoin intersects with this as a permissionless value protocol.

The boy doesn't yet realize how lucky he got having you for a Dad..🙏🙏🙏

Is it just a “coincidence” that the day after the US house passes an act automatically registering men aged 18 - 26 in “selective service” ie - draft, that my 16 year son comes to me saying that signing up for the military looks “fun”.

As the propaganda and war machine ramps up, and social media channels/AI is used to manipulate minds and control the agenda, talk to your kids - openly and often about their thoughts.

Ps - It was a good reinforcement lesson for my son that his own thoughts are being manipulated. (He thought he was immune because we often talk about it as a family)

Appreciate the information curation Jeff!!

Reading through this makes me think that it's a matter of very little time that AGI figures out the best form of money and starts using it to its economic advantage...earning it for providing value to humans without needing to be told. This might take even Bitcoiners by surprise.
