Lots of debate about the Saylor / Saifedean conversation

I thought it was really interesting

No one really knows what credit will look like in a Bitcoin Standard

They both make good points

I tend to think that (young, less capitalized, etc) people will of course still borrow to buy a car or or a home, to Michael's point

But I also agree with some of Saifdean's points about the inevitable decline in value of government debt

People seemed to hyperlock onto a short clip of it on X and spit takes instead of listening to the whole thing which is unfortunate

There's way too much 100% agreement in this space so a 2-hour animated conversation with two people who do share a lot in common but really disagree strongly on some stuff and aren't afraid to push back is very refreshing

IC-705 is a great place to start if you have the budget.

Who's this Dan?? 😂

Be honest, how many of you are going to pay off your mortgage if #bitcoin reaches a point where you can with a comfortable amount of coin left over? #plebchain

When bitcoin hits $100k, I’m replacing all my underwear with these-

I made a #bitcoin block clock. Will have code, shopping list and instructions up soon.

Also probably going to sell preassembled kits if anyone wants one and doesn't feel like tinkering. Who wants one?

No one talks about how much of a drain on society it is to live in an area where 75% of the year you will freeze to death if you go outside.

It's not the case for everyone, but for a lot of people, participating in something that they perceive as bigger than themselves is really important. They want to leave a tiny mark that goes beyond their own life in some way in terms of reach or in terms of time.

Sometimes it's religion, sometimes it's patriotism, sometimes it's a certain political/ideological movement, sometimes it's a professional guild, sometimes it is advancing technology, sometimes it is advancing art, etc. Could be any number of things.

Mine is mixed, but it's basically the intersection of technology and human rights. I want to support technologies like Bitcoin and Nostr and others that empower individualism and human rights. People should be able to engage in transfers of information and commerce largely unrestricted. They should be able to protect themselves from currency dilution. They should be able to do this regardless of their race, religion, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, or whatever, as long as they are not actively trying to hurt others. It should require probable cause and the allocation of deliberate resources and time by authorities to prevent bad people from doing these things, rather than being automatically applied to everyone as a matter of course. And this can't really be asked for; the technology has to be built and shared so that the burden of difficulty is on those trying to make it otherwise.

And for me, that means educating people about these technologies, providing capital or economic guidance to people these technologies, otherwise doing whatever small part I can to help improve the success or adoption of these technologies.

Other than that, I just want to leave my little slice of the world better than I found it. I want to help rather than hurt. I want to beautify rather than destroy. I want to unify differing views through objectivity and open talk and help create collaboration and coexistence, rather than sow unnecessary division. This doesn't scale as well and can't win as decisively as technology can, so it's mainly just my side thing.

What's yours? What is the thing(s) that you want to participate in that are bigger than yourself?

I feel like I should share the story of how I broke my leg, exclusively on Nostr, and how that changed the direction of my life.

Yay or nay?
