#Bitcoin privacy with a hell of a panel… https://v.nostr.build/eCghasSGYrFDczDh.mp4

I’ll simply say that a doubling every two years until about 2040 wouldn’t surprise me. I don’t think it will be stable like that though, with most of that growth on the front end. But that puts #Bitcoin at about $12million per coin in 2040 when the US debt will most likely be at $100-$150Trillion (barring any crazy monetary events before then, which is probable)

Before we get to that point though there’s no telling how the landscape changes and how we think about “the price” to begin with.

I’ll investigate again when I get back, sessions was saying he was getting the same thing until Albyhub, but it’s connecting with the same tool. Seems like it’s likely something weird with whatever service that’s running it rather than LND connect specifically.

Yeah it has been the whole time. It’s only the Keet app where their specific UI and how they put it together that isn’t fully open source yet. But all the pear stuff is completely open and has been the whole time

Stoked AF at the new shit being released at Plan B, pubkey is basically something I’ve been thinking about for months and that we’ve been trying to make work for PearDrive (though it’s not a main focus).

Pubkey could save us an enormous amount of work 😆

Also randomly threw nostr:npub10vlhsqm4qar0g42p8g3plqyktmktd8hnprew45w638xzezgja95qapsp42 into the picture, lol

Yeah my LND connect has been giving me tons of trouble. Been super disappointed. nostr:npub1wnlu28xrq9gv77dkevck6ws4euej4v568rlvn66gf2c428tdrptqq3n3wr has said it works fantastic for him. I just get constant disconnects, and the past 3 weeks it’s almost nothing but random RPC errors for seemingly no reason.

Ok I’m intrigued… what is pokey and why should I be excited?

(Using Damus on iOS for reference atm)

The secret to a good Ai scene like this is doing each element individually. Much better results, just lots of compositing. Then use a video-to-video to clean up any poor compositing or edging on the final version.

This is pretty dope. I’m still so excited for what Ai is going to do for genuinely talented storytellers and people with a real vision. The potential for seeing it come to life has shifted dramatically.

I’ve actually thought about this. It would be cool to write a script that adds a few thousand sats to every transaction with an anyone can spend + timelock so it can be grabbed by a miner in 20 years when the subsidy is tiny 😆

They aren’t even quiet about it. They just write a fucking paper about how they can’t run permanent deficits if people can use #Bitcoin and that the solution is to tax it greater than the delta on currency devaluation and explicitly make it illegal… they are tyrants through to the core.

Finally got my Coinkite shirt 😆🫡

Yeah nostr:nprofile1qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0s8jq7y6 hub is pretty much the UX that is needed for Regular Joe even if he want’s to become Uncle Jim.

👌

Eh not regular joe, but close. I would say this is the UI for the prosumer computer guy. I can’t still see a lot of areas where someone will feel confused or overwhelmed. It’s hard AF to make the complexity of all of these tools intuitive and simple. But they’ve made an incredible step in the right direction and showed how good it can be if designed right.

The hardest thing about being successful isn't obtaining wealth, it's keeping it.

WUT THE FUCK

Eh, it's also why humanity works to begin with. It just doesn't scale very well.

Constantly hating on Saylor and fanboying for Saylor are two sides of the same coin, imo...

Giving too much importance and attention to any random thing he says. It's cool if he says something valuable, and whatever if he says something silly. The average person is going to have the same tumultuous journey as everyone else and I've come to realize that there's probably no great shortcut. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I've kind of come to the same place with that sort of thing as I have with shitcoins. I used to spend SO much time and energy trying to explain why it's stupid and everyone was going to lose their money... now i just don't care. It's a waste of my time and it never seemed to work anyway. I just make my case to anyone who will listen.

It will suffice from a security standpoint if you know how to maintain it, secure it, and not lose it.

I think most people discount just how unprepared and "tech security illiterate" the average person is. Yet many have decent amounts of money and want to get into #Bitcoin. In this case the "simple" solution is highly likely to result in disaster.

Example, someone I've been talking to who have been buying bitcoin just lost his phone twice in 2 months, got tricked into buying rallycoin by coinbase jsut before they delisted it so he can't get rid of it, and now thinks he sent bitcoin to his green wallet but it never showed up (i still ahve to investigate this one).

The guy wants to put his savings into bitcoin but his life is pretty crazy and I honesly don't feel safe telling him to do this unless I can make him a setup that's easy to understand and recover from WHEN those things happen. I think the best option is to distribute among many devices.

This would be part of the benefit of multisig. A single set of seed words don't threaten your bitcoin and so you can still move them if a key has gotten compromised.

I think that's a little like saying that using training wheels is setting people up for not being able to ride a bike.

I think making the presumption that learning and taking responsibility aren't incremental processes (when i think there's ample evidence that it is like any other learning process) is a great way to just get a lot of people to be too afraid to take the first step, imo.

Anything that improves how you use taproot would be a big help. And just implementing naive multisig setups and making it the norm would build the pressure for things like FROST to get adopted.
