And surprise! Now I have a more theatrical version of Puccini's "Lucevan le stele" from Tosca, still with Jonathan Tetelman, right on the roof of Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome, where this particular scene takes place. (See the quoted post.)

Fantastic 👏
We plan to adopt zkEVM networks for problems that require network-wide consensus:
- public names
- server registry
- server infrastructure payments using Community Vouchers represented by SMPX utility tokens on some L2 network TBC
Please read the plan and FAQ here: https://simplex.chat/token/
You can get a free NFT on Ethereum mainnet that will provide access to testnet when launched - planned for 2026.

#Bitcoin White Paper Day
We are reaching a point where every video might be made by AI for all we know. Hopefully, that brings us back to the real world.
Stop complaining like a little princess and sell your BTC then 😜
There’s plenty of other stocks and assets that appreciated more than BTC in an arbitrary frame like the last 3 or 5 years. But we don’t do BTC just to get rich but mainly, to end the fiat world..
I guess it’s Strike incurring and taking care of the taxable event
If numbers go up is the only that matters to you..

China Morning Missive
There seems to be a new term flying around the social media universe. “Escalation dominance”. Basically, it’s just a fancy way of saying China has far greater negotiating leverage as compared to the United States.
Well, this bilateral imbalance has been at the core of the Notes I’ve been putting out for the past six months. My very succinct summary is this. China produces everything and America produces nothing.
I’m not here to beat on America and China is most certainly working through its own issues. When you step back though and look at both parties on a net-net basis there is no other conclusion to draw than that of trade terms being dictated by China.
Here is the best real-world example that I can give.
To start, the current imbalance is the result of a three-decade period where multinational groups aggressively outsourced production to China. You hear this all the time. China hollowed out middle America.
What doesn’t seem to get enough attention is that this entire imbalance was loudly telegraphed back in 2018 during Trump 1.0 and yet no corrective action was taken at that time.
Just consider Apple as one example. Tim Cook knew at the time the precarious nature of Apple’s manufacturing dependence on China. Did he decided to marshal the company’s ample cash hoard and take aggressive steps to diversify away from China? Of course he didn’t. Such action would have tanked the stock. All that Time Cook did was accelerate the company’s share buyback program.
For those who may doubt, I am a Red-Blooded American. There is, however, a reality that cannot be ignored. Like it or not, a very deep hole has been dug, and the first order of business is to stop digging.
This then means that a collaborative relationship with China is the only option …. for now. A system based on financialization must shift aggressively to one centered on reindustrialization. It’ll take time, but as the old Chinese adage goes, “The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is today.”

Reindustralization comes at the cost of losing the empire status
It’s not anyone’s pet project, Core was the reference implementation
So let’s explain to people instead of arbitrarily pushing and merging code despite contention.
Is it Adam Back, the cypherpunk legend, or Adam Back, the treasury suit guy?
Yeah, like removing the filters
There are no followers in Nostr

Bitcoin Core v30 ia released. Upgrade your node. https://video.nostr.build/50cc20b19c8a7cf72d863d67b55040bb60be9191a8ca9ee1d7cf3afd6b65d4ea.mp4
🤣😂😂
Core is for those who submit to the elitism of their devs.
Knots is for the common folks.
Also, you can’t make an investment case based on historical performance alone. The value proposition of MSTR has been pretty dubious lately.
There’s no coping and there’s no comparison either, MSTR is rooted in the fiat world no matter how hard anyone tries to spin it otherwise. It’s risky, a “give me 1 BTC, I’ll give you 2 BTC” scheme waiting to happen.
Should a bear market come, no one’s gonna hold onto that paper. Trading is boring.
5 years of data is as arbitrary as, say, the last 3 months. Sentiment for Saylor’s paper BTC stock is in the gutter.
Communities over influencers
👏

Introducing SNSTR!
A lightweight secure nostr development kit built for renegades, rebels, rejects (and other R words) !
https://github.com/austinkelsay/snstr I have been building snstr that last 6 months or so with the goal of making the most secure minimal dependency nostr library that I can use and rely on for all my nostr dev work moving forward! Check it out and please let me know what you think! (Especially if you think it sucks)
Link gives me a 404
