yeah, but the purpose here is for tracking net work/assets
that said, would be great to have fiat and bitcoin budget and finance tracking apps built on Nostr!
As much as it’s useful, I’m seeing more large finance and budget apps including the ability to add Bitcoin xpubs.
While it’s great and convenient, I cannot ever recommend leaking your xpub to a service you don’t fully control, and whose business model often rests on your data
This public campaign to vilify energy producers ignores the reality that we rely on fossil fuels and need them to lead America’s energy transition, as they have for years now

UAPs are real and the government knows all about them. Oddly enough, Congress is about to yield some answers
I'm for an all-the-above strategy. Oil and gas are still plentiful, cheap, and abudant. Nuclear is another tech in the toolkit. Cheap energy for all.
I posted my article on nuclear energy to the /r/nuclear subreddit and was immediately banned. It had over 40 upvotes and 6 comments before it was deleted.
My alleged offense? I was "promotiing competition" between nuclear energy and renewables.
lol oK boomer. Sticking to Stacker News and Nostr, thanks
Rather than subsidize our climate future w/ foreign-made solar, wind, and batteries, what if we embraced next-gen safe tech that's the densest and most carbon-free electricity? What if we again champion nuclear energy?

I come out of the #UAP disclosure closet:
–Chinese weather balloons infiltrate US airspace, but also things we can't identifiy
–By congressional mandate, we'll get answers soon
–Pentagon secrets, accountability, and UAP disclosure
–The truth is out there

For my policy work, I really used to pay attention to what many Bitcoin influencers were discussing and talking about. But after a while, I realized there was a lot of shallow thinking, a lot of self-promotion, and not much substance. Then, I met some who really seem determined to elevate their profile over good substantive public policy that would help Bitcoin. What's worse, many of the things they were saying and doing were *actively* harming light-touch regulatory principles. I don't really pay attention to that noise much anymore, but I am still in contact weekly with various legislators on better proposals to protect Bitcoin's privacy, and its freedom from regulation.
all in all? Slay your heroes.
I wrote out my response to the Biden Admin's AI executive order and everything it gets wrong about open-source, innovation, and the future of decentralization:
"Two distinct worlds are taking shape on each side of the Atlantic regarding the future of artificial intelligence and its benefits.
The first is one with cutting-edge competition between large language model developers, open-source software coders, and investors tooling the best practical applications for AI. This comprises ambitious startups, legacy Big Tech companies, and every major global corporation looking for an edge. As anyone can guess, a high percentage of early movers in this category are based in the United States, with close to 5,000 AI startups and $249 billion in private investment. This space is hopeful, energetic, and forward-looking.
The second world, languishing behind the first, is characterized by bureaucracy, intense approval processes, and permitting. The predominant mindset around AI is threat mitigation and a fixation on worst-case scenarios from which consumers must be saved. "
wouldn't it be great if a couple of fishermen get the Supreme Court to overturn the Chevron Doctrine and finally put rigid checks on the federal agencies that are causing absolute hell for both innovaters and consumers?

I totally missed this, but as anyone tried the "universal money address"?
Seems like it's pretty "custodial" or tied to your bank account or identity, but I have examined it enough.
Right now, I have more faith in my self-custodied lightning address

I prefer a cryptocurrency protocol that can't freeze individual wallets, and that's only Bitcoin. What will be used for the most repugnant – war criminals and terrorists – could easily be used against anyone
