I don’t think we are fully there but it will be hard to know when we get there… so difficult to say.
The open web is dying. Long live the open web!
I honestly don’t know. Assume it’s weather related but I never got an answer
The trend still bulling ahead, this is the consequence of Ai. The walls will continue to grow, more platforms will become tightly controlled silos, and the open internet will slowly disappear.
The web is bifurcating into the old and the new. The old systems cannot work in a web where you have no way at all to prove that someone is human. You have to KYC everybody or deal with a constantly growing proportion of fraud and bots... and even when you KYC you will still only slow what is inevitable.
Only a key based internet can remain open so that you can know that you are talking or interacting with the same entity, and only a push based payment system is compatible with a world where you could be interacting with an Ai as easily as a real human.
Gave a talk about this a couple years ago, and so far - for better or worse - the trend is fully intact.
My man just stopped by the breakfast table and dropped off a key ring for me 🤣🤣

In no way am I saying it won’t also crash from 200k to 150k, from 500k to 380k, and from 1.5M to 1.2M, as infinitum. I didn’t give a timeline either. Bitcoin doesn’t have a top measured in fiat so even adding a zero doesn’t make sense if you just extend the time horizon. It will continue until we stop pricing things in dollars.
You don’t know what money is, and every society that adopts this mentality and incorrect framing that production=extraction has destroyed its own wealth.
The western world has adopted this very ideology for the past 50 or more years and we are living through the results. It *always* results in the rich getting richer, the political bricking more powerful, and the poor getting screwed.
If you actually want to help the poor you’d reconsider your ideology with a sober investigation if it’s results.
Remember, #Bitcoin is going to crash from $150K down to $120K and people are going to confidently declare that it’s dead now.
Disowned immediately
Yeah that would be worse 😂
So my 7pm flight got delayed to 8pm, then to 9pm with a connecting, then to 10:04, then i was gonna miss my connecting and now I’m on a 5am flight to Dallas.
Didn’t realize it was moved to 5am until I got to the airport at 6pm yesterday but went ahead and got my ticket. 6pm the airport was totally dead, only one person in line to get ticket stuff sorted.
I get here at almost 4am and the place is jammed and the line to deal with tickets and get assistance is a million miles long… actually super glad i accidentally came to the airport 10 hours early and then went back home to sleep 😆😅
I would also say the article isn’t trying to “pull one over” on the reader either. The very next sentence makes the trusted relationship clear. I wouldn’t have used the same wording of the first part, but it doesn’t seem to be disingenuous at all, imo
I would say it is custodial Bitcoin but self custody of LBTC. Federated tokens and ecash where you actually hold and control the keys but the token is to be redeemed for trusted BTC makes for an odd categorization, imo.
In other words, I think it’s self custody of a credit token. Much like a banknote. Hard to decide if that makes it clearer or more complicated. But it definitely isn’t self custody BTC, you must have full power to withdraw without any other parties for that to be the case. Definitely doesn’t meet that requirement.
Some people need to listen to this apparently…
Yeah I have one specifically for this, but then also just generally a good idea. Good to have a general RFID blocking bag as well
No reason for it, doesn’t actually change anything, forces people to buy a new ID despite having one, especially for domestic it’s particularly meaningless, can’t be used for international so why again?, and then I suspect the chip in it is used to track location wirelessly in airports, gov buildings, and other areas where they have aggressive security, etc - that they probably intend to expand.
I think it’s main purpose is most likely two fold:
Make some money forcing people to buy new IDs, track people’s location better.
Dude holy shit seriously? I don’t do this on mobile because there’s no good solution and this is so fucking simple. I think nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7 is the only one who has the login with DM that is easy enough to do real fast on mobile
already has, but he thinks about it like “crypto” and he “buys it when things are getting exciting and sells it when everything is getting bad.”
Yes it is, but it’s just not the specific one I had in mind. Already had 3 people find it.
Asknostr is the best crowdsourcing tool out there 😂

1000 SATS to everyone who can give me a short video (more than 3 seconds) of any kind of bitcoin mining equipment up to the first 100 unique videos, and I specifically want ALL kinds -
heaters in your room,
miner heating your house,
personal mini mining rig outside in a shed,
bitaxe on your desk,
miner drying food/clothes,
mining container at a datacenter, energy producer, flared gas site, massive mining farm, and literally ANYTHING else you can think off.
I will be the final judge on whether its useful or a repeat or too crappy quality.
Please repost to everyone and send to other socials to get as many entrants as possible. I'm building a collection for some future projects. 🙏
I say 1 is true, but is of almost everything, while Nostr actually has an atomic network, imo, while most never achieve one. And I'm not sure i agree completely with #2, I switch back and froth from Twitter and Primal/Damus and don't really feel like the base things i get with them are all that different. I use Grok on Twitter a bit, but other than that, it doesn't feel much different... to the point that I've actually forgotten which one I'm on. For 90% of what i do with social, Nostr feels like what I expect. I think the ONE thing that suffers in its execution is the basic chronological feed. Algos are super valuable and need to be more deeply integrated into the experience.
If you watch the chain then your Bitcoin transaction will never confirm.
I guess we have to agree to disagree because this still has nothing to do with storing energy.
Back to my test, if that was a battery and not money, I’d still have all the electricity I need… because it ACTUALLY stores energy. Money stores *value* in the network that trust it for exchange. Which means you can *trade it* for energy that is available, but that, explicitly, is NOT storing energy.
Sure, it sounds great when Saylor says it and it’s an interesting and useful mental image, but it does not store energy and this is very easily and objectively provable.
Go ahead and take a bitcoin balance, and without anybody else or any trade or anything, get energy out of it… you can’t, because it doesn’t *store* energy. It simply allows you to trade for it.
That is inaccurate to the definition of the word “store.”
I have stored a **record** of it, which you can redeem for me later if you trust it to do the same, but the actual milk has not been stored. The original gallon was consumed.
The milk is objectively not being stored. Money just lets me get milk again (or equivalent in orange juice, or a hard drive) if more is produced in the future.
And a critical reason we use money in the first place is specifically BECAUSE all other goods deteriorate or rot.
Was about to spend $75 on an app from a company I don't really trust. Then I thought, can I build this myself? Spent 15 mins in nostr:nprofile1qyjhwumn8ghj7en9v4j8xtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0dakku62ltamx2mn5w4ex2ucpxpmhxue69uhkjarrdpuj6em0d3jx2mnjdajz6en4wf3k7mn5dphhq6rpva6hxtnnvdshyctz9e5k6tcqyp7u8zl8y8yfa87nstgj2405t2shal4rez0fzvxgrseq7k60gsrx6zeuh5t and had a fully functioning app, tailored to my use case, private to me. ⏱️💪 
This is the way 🫡
lol I actually tried but it triggers the “too quiet” filter during processing.

This actually took longer than you might think, and if you turn it up and listen closely you can hear the pages turning and i read chapter numbers, might make a good ASMR or white noise if you ever need it 🤣

It took me entirely too long to realize this was upside down 😆
I’ve got one on the way and another right behind it. Hope to help you out there soon 🫡
Sharing is a demonstration that you value the relationship more than the stuff.
Forced “sharing” via govt demonstrates caring more about the stuff than the relationship or person’s ownership of their own life.
Socialism is a profoundly narcissistic and materialistic ideology that values material wealth above all other human and moral concerns.
😂 haven’t even thought about that in ages. But don’t worry everyone, I’m definitely human and no need to be in disbelief. This should be all you need to correctly identify TheGuySwann as definitely human and not be concerned with the NIP05 verification at URL iris.to.
Let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with.
What made you type the same thing twice after scratching it out the first time? 🤔😆
No officially timeline yet, moving through it as fast as I can manage though. Target is to have the first full recording done before March closes. But corrections and listening through and edits can take anywhere from a few days to a month to complete
If radical abundance is possible then we don’t need UBI. If radical abundance is achieved it’ll be because of free market incentives. If you destroy free market incentives with UBI you will no longer have radical abundance.
It’s like saying you can create an organism that is so successful that you no longer need DNA, when DNA is the only way you can create a successful organism. They are interdependent.
There is no future with radical abundance that has a socialist or communist distributions of resources. They are perfect opposites of each other.
1000%, discussion around UBI is always a gauge to how well someone understands basic incentives and market function.
There is literally no world where UBI doesn’t destroy an entire layer of the market incentive structure, leaving the society poorer than what UBI gives.
In other words, if you use UNI to give everyone an apple a day, it will lower the supply of apples in society by 2 apples a day, and literally everyone will be worse off by an apple, and worse they become dependent on the one apple they get from “the system” because apples are now too expensive.

What makes you think this opinion is unpopular? If anything it’s the approve opinion, specially here
I’ve seen a lot of people squealing about “ITS FAILED” as if progress isn’t made because we haven’t taken a single, unrestricted Grand Canyon sized leap from fully centralized, fully controlled and surveilled fiat money — to infinitely scaled, fully sovereign, fully private, perfect digital money that’s accepted everywhere… as if it could be turned on like a light switch.
Those are the people in responding to.
