I firmly believe intelligence isn't knowing everything, it's the ability to challenge everything you know.

"The more relaxed you are, the better you are at everything: the better you are with your loved ones, the better you are with your enemies, the better you are at your job, the better you are with yourself."

- Bill Murray

Love quantum mechanics - it's the slow realisation that we live in a designed universe necessarily created by a mind.

It feels very much like March 2017.

#bitcoin sustained a long bear run and ......gradually...... climbed to $1K zone, where it coiled and fucked around for months.

BTC then went to $2K in the blink of an eye. Then .....suddenly........the following 10 months saw a 17 x increase in bitcoin's value against USD.

That monetary energy came from a tiny retail FOMO crowd. This cycle is a different order of magnitude.

In all likelihood you don’t have “depression”. You most probably have low mood brought about by a lifetime of “fiat fuckery” in a win- lose game that you can’t possibly win……. because the game rules are rigged. 🫡.

So, I had this science fiction story in my mind for over a decade, but never had time to write it due to everything else I had to work on. It was always on my long-term to-do list.

When AI started to take off a bit over the past few years, I was like, "Jeez, I don't know if it'll be any good, but If I don't write this thing, it might turn into historical fiction rather than science fiction." More realistically, I'd have to keep adjusting it every five years because the future is now.

But things have a tendency to align. Or maybe I just look on the bright side. Because another big component of the story is about social media causing increased social isolation if we're not careful with it, etc.

Since we're doing some large construction work in Egypt over this past year, my husband and I have had to spend more time apart than ever (he's managing the project there, while I have to manage our obligations here, and we travel to each other when we can).

I work from home. So, sometimes during this period I have days where I wake up, go for a walk, work, do an interview about finance online, exercise, go back to work, then go to sleep, and never speak to someone in person. Just me in the house and being the weirdo trying to get 10k steps in the sun around the neighborhood.

That both gave me insight into how that type of isolation can affect people (luckily temporarily in my case), and also ironically gave me time to finally write the thing, which helped me deal with the aforementioned isolation.

During interviews, I get a lot of questions about the potential for a strategic bitcoin reserve and how it may affect price.

I typically answer by talking about how I tend to take the 'under' on the prospect for a bitcoin reserve. In other words, as a base case they might recategorize currently-held bitcoin, might add a bit, etc. My lesser case is that they go and actually buy a lot, which would positively affect price, sure. I then go on about how, my long-term bullishness of bitcoin is not dependent on that, and I'd rather structure my view to assume a baseline and potentially be surprised to the upside on price within a given period, rather than focus on singular bullish catalysts and then be surprised to the downside if those specific things don't materialize.

That's Lyn Speak for "I find this question really boring, please stop asking me it."

GM what's up?

Over the years I've developed a sense for shitcoiners.

If I meet one at a conference or meetup they don't even need to say anything about it. I can tell they're still in the casino.

Some of you may know what I'm talking about.

I'm beginning to get that same sense for people who still use Twitter and Instagram.

For anyone wondering, it's pronounced "DATUM" - not "DATUM" as many have been saying.

What I love about nostr is that it makes you feel an active part of something real.

If you stay on Nostr, it’s because you truly want to.

It took me a while to figure it out, and that’s already a natural selection:

Nostr doesn’t trap you with catchy, mediocre content, it gives you power from the start.

You choose what to see and most of the time you learn something new and meet someone interesting ( at least, that’s what happens to me) .

That’s real freedom and empowerment.

You are beautiful

Thank you all for keeping this space alive every day!
