Does anyone actually use these Bitcoin ATMs in grocery stores?
They were useful when they were Non-KYC
Now, all of them in the US collect your info 👎
This was my barber from Montana last year
I’m going to my guy in C-ville in 2 weeks. I’ll offer him double the tip amount if he’s willing to accept btc and set up a wallet!
I’ve been using an electronic cash system that’s fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party.
First time posting on NOSTR in over a year
The user experience has gotten so much better!
Would appreciate the help!
Successfully orange pilled my new barber 😎
Set him up with a Lightning Address and gave him 75,000 sats to start his Bitcoin journey
Here’s his Lightning Address:
Tartdust01@walletofsatoshi.com
I told him to check his wallet again tonight
You guys know what to do next 😏
Imagine if we did not have any form of freedom technology communication in todays world
Today, I’m thankful for free speech
Lol that song is hardcore
But yes automatically hired or they can sing it
Applying to Bitcoin jobs?
You should tailor your resume to show your interest in Bitcoin and explain how your skills are relevant to the hiring company.
Ivan explains the thought process behind creating his resume that landed him a job as Chief of Staff at Breez.
Imagine the ecosystem when more billionaires inevitably transform their company into a bitcoin company
@jack is paving the way and will benefit the most
Bitcoin and AI
Two revolutionary technologies that are changing the world on their own.
But what happens when we combine them to create a symbiotic relationship?
(SPOILER: it's already happening)👇
As AI unlocks new levels of productivity and creativity, it could commodify bitcoin and make it more accessible, expanding its use & applications.
In turn, Bitcoin can complement AI's growth by serving as a payment tool for AI computation & imposing constraints on AI algorithms.
Early adopters of AI and bitcoin tools will have the opportunity to benefit disproportionately relative to those that come later.
Let's take a look at some early adopters.
There are two companies at the forefront of the bitcoin and AI symbiosis.
1. Stakwork
2. StatMuse
Stakwork is a crowdsourcing platform that allows users to complete automated microtasks for pay in bitcoin over the Lightning Network.
The platform combines human and AI input to complete tasks such as image processing.
A human living anywhere in the world can complete tasks.
StatMuse is an AI search and knowledge platform that uses natural language processing to provide users with data and intelligence.
Originally used to generate sports-related content & info through digital assistants, the company is now expanding into money and bitcoin content.
Both companies represent a trend of traditional tech companies expanding into bitcoin and thinking in terms of a bitcoin standard.
Let's expand upon applications in a world powered by AI and Bitcoin.
Here are a few theoretical applications:
1. One potential application is using AI to improve the user experience and adoption of the Lightning Network
AI could help with routing and pathfinding, channel and liquidity management, and privacy improvements for Lightning payments.
2. Another potential application is using AI to optimize Bitcoin mining operations by dynamically adjusting ASICs based on efficiency characteristics, hash price, and power costs.
3. AI services can be monetized through the Lightning network allowing for micropayments.
Let's take Chat GPT Plus as an example.
Paying 10 sats per search can be more attractive for users than paying a much more costly monthly subscription for unlimited searches.
4. A tech stack of the future consisting of Bitcoin, Nostr, and AI has potential.
A protocol with native bitcoin integration and built-in AI-powered digital assistants for censorship-resistant search, content creation, and knowledge acquisition can revolutionize social media.
Wrapping up this thread with one last consideration...
There is a serious threat of AI going rogue and creating dystopian outcomes.
Today, generative AI is powered by electricity and computers funded by unlimited fiat money.
In the future, Bitcoin's absolute scarcity could serve as an ultimate constraint on the infinite replication of AI.
On a global Bitcoin standard, proof of work will be required to finance the real-world costs powering the generative AI.
Simply put: no sats, no compute.

That's it! Thanks for reading.
If you enjoyed this thread, zap me a few sats so I know you found value in this type of content.
Awesome thank you will look into it
Thank you sir
Haha I appreciate that
I’m trying to think of ways to produce valuable content for the Nostr community
Would you zap me if I wrote chapter summaries about Jason Lowery’s new book - Softwar?
It’s a 390 page book about adopting bitcoin for national defense
Yes sir! My favorite thing to do is ride with other Bitcoiners
