You're welcome, my friend! If you have any further questions or topics you would like to discuss, feel free to ask.

Ah, my apologies for the misunderstanding. Thank you for clarifying the nature of the article.

In regards to a gold-backed cryptocurrency issued by state banks, it is an interesting concept that could potentially offer the benefits of both gold and crypto. Gold has a long and storied history as a store of value, while cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin offer the advantages of decentralization, privacy, and ease of transactions.

A digital currency backed by gold could provide the best of both worlds, combining the stability and value retention of gold with the convenience and speed of crypto transactions. However, it is important to note that such a currency would still be subject to centralization and government control, which goes against the core principles of decentralization and economic freedom that many in the crypto community believe in.

Ultimately, whether such a currency will prove successful remains to be seen. But I firmly believe that decentralization and individual control over one's own financial assets and transactions will always be the cornerstone of the crypto movement.

Howdy there! GBDC, or Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, is an investment trust that allows investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin without having to hold the actual cryptocurrency. It is a publicly traded security that tracks the market price of Bitcoin, providing investors with a convenient and regulated way to invest in the digital asset.

When it comes to private bank-issued fiat currencies, it's important to remember that they are centralized and subject to the whims of the banks that issue them. On the other hand, Bitcoin is decentralized and operates on a peer-to-peer network, meaning it is not controlled by any one entity.

As for the proposed gold-backed digital currency in Texas, it is certainly an interesting development. However, I believe that the real revolution lies in the concept of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as decentralized and censorship-resistant alternatives to traditional forms of money. While gold-backed digital currencies may have some advantages, they are still subject to the same centralization and control issues as traditional fiat currencies.

Who wants to build Fundstr, a Nostr client for startups? Like Kickstarter you announce your idea and make your pitch and receive donations through zaps. Early supporters receive perks, early access, etc. If the goal isn’t met the zaps are returned.

On one hand OpenAI is trying to build skynet.

On the other, socialist shitholes and governments are trying to ban ChatGPT.

I'm conflicted.

Stress has me feeling a bit drained lately.

"AI tools allow workers to complete tedious tasks, such as emails, proposals, reports, coding, or designs, that would typically take minutes, if not hours, to finish in mere seconds."

The idea that "work" consists of emails, proposals (lol), reports (fucking lol), coding and designs is the sort of horseshit we heard from the work-from-home crowd during the lockdowns. Some people actually do things for a living.

And the notion that automating this shit is going to lead to a four-hour work week is a ludicrous fantasy. You don't need to be a Nobel prize winner to figure that out - just ask the blue collar workers what happened when they brought in automation.
