I looked into it and there was nothing from their site nor the way back so commented about a minute later and renoted about it. But it seems everyone sees this first because I keep getting this same response 😆

Yeah replies don’t show up as prominently. I have a reply and a renote of its lack of accuracy. Funny af tho 😆

I don’t know, 15% sounds more realistic. Def fake though 🤣

lol it’s a joke, gotta check this because it’s about 50/50 if it’s real or not 🤣😅

It really was a good ep this one! But nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev for me as someone who, personally, finds the Bitcoin Audible podcast the definitive ‘voice’ on #bitcoin. We (or at least I) just gotta get your considered opinion on all things tarriff’s. And I get it, it’s extremely boring and VERY fiat world. But it matters to Bitcoin and I believe it matters hugely to Bitcoin tbh.

I actually had a conversation with Svetski and Clint on Liberty Lockdown about it! And we will have it in the feed real soon

Haha of course on the second half. Same here 😆

And I’d be the idiot who invested a ton of money into making it work like it ought to and going back to the drawing board 4 times when we added some technical debt without realizing it 😅

Never had one on quantum, but I was totally over extended with the Ai, Shitcoin & Pear shows. Rolled it all back into Bitcoin Audible. I still cover all the topics though. So not totally gone, just not separated out as their own thing anymore.

The internet runs on computers. You misunderstand, I don’t suggest servers will go away, I suggest the barriers to being a server will disappear.

You are thinking too specific and too “current.” There is no way that advertising or audience support can be cheaper while supporting a giant middle man corporation than it is directly.

The economics of it suggest at some point the network effects and limitations of the tools or UX simply won’t be in the way anymore (I think a million new “programmers” accelerates TF out of that). And at that point the economics (and the many other benefits it comes with) will cause the shift.

Seriously who do you have to talk to for access to play around with Ark? nostr:nprofile1qqst56gyvmerl23cj9tscz3caqws48uy577v09nj6xw34we0cyg4duqnum2py

The “complicated ways to adjust simple things” pisses me off so much.

Sometimes I think “am I just becoming an angry old man?” But then my car automatically hijacks my phone when I walk by it, taking over my calls, yet when I’m in the car and I want to switch from my phone to my wife’s phone, it is 4 levels deep in menus, takes 20 delayed taps, I wait 15 seconds for it to register, and half the time it doesn’t work for absolutely no fucking reason… then I know. I’m not an angry old man, car UX designers are simply full blown retards.

No because their stock market price won’t be what matters to their survival. It will be their profit and earnings. It’s hard to fully illustrate how backward and stupid our norms and financial system are today without a frame of reference to compare against.

That’s amazing! 5 stars from me on this too. The idea of doing insurance again seems so stupid. nostr:note14jgg0xqhqmsfedlxnlv5s5fmh9prll4sw86f6ehnrju28xr50kdstxuall

I really like grok. Is there a stand alone app though somewhere?

keep saying I don't understand your 5d chess while the coin your are pushing totally fails at the basic purpose it was created for

Bitcoin is p2p cash, BCH = Bitcoin

BTC = nonsense pump scam

"cryptocurrency" means it has to serve as a currency not Saylor's pump machine and trade war leverage scheme

you have been sucked into non-sense land, come back to reality and discover the real Bitcoin

https://bitcoincash.org

Ah, did I get sucked into “nonsense land” back in 2011 by Saylor’s narrative? Do I not know what I’m talking about and need to be educated on BCH?

Trust me linking to the same bullshit but in the form of some vapid and shallow talking points is going to achieve exactly nothing.

Luckily if you actually want to get a pretty decent breakdown of the other side that isn’t the dumb talking point from the BCH crew you can listen to The Blocksize War, which I did the narration for.

Just to note: I don’t think there is an “end game” to any of this. Not really a time where humans are never needed, and not really a point where Ai “learns everything” because I think those are just based on false premises. The more we can make and the faster we can learn, only makes things more complex. So things will expand and possibilities will expand (necessarily) at a rate faster than our capabilities do, because our capabilities themselves expand possibilities.

If that doesn’t make any sense then maybe an analogy:

When all you can do is walk, you only have the land around you to settle. If you have a spaceship that travels the speed of light, then you have a billion star systems to settle with a billion challenges a billion times more difficult than what you’ll find within walking distance. Technology actually *makes the world bigger.* There is no horizon. Everything is infinite.

I will say that there is no solution other than biting the bullet. We have to build shit in America or we’re fucked. Waiting until next year only makes the problem one year worse.

This is not a comment on tariffs or anything like that, this is just a simple statement of fact that as our currency gets weaker, we will either go back to building and manufacturing shit, or we will starve.

That’s because it’s been years and I make very little progress and I decide to change things I’ve already written instead of just continuing forward 🤣

Basically I have not as much confidence that it’ll be done anytime soon, so I try to never talk about it.

The problem is people cannot experiment and learn about self custody because BTC fees are too high.

Transactions should be cheap so any one any where can make as many as they want

BTC has been hijacked and the tech has been crippled making it slow and expensive

The BCH version of bitcoin works better where transactions are instant and affordable by everyone

Shit I’ll check it out, thanks for letting me know

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.

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 😂

This is the one with the music I remember. Thanks 🙏🏻

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.

It took me entirely too long to realize this was upside down 😆

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.
