Author of "Walking Banks", a bitcoin novel. https://www.walkingbanks.com/ Listen to it for free on Fountain: https://fountain.fm/album/JYWZOPSrol8fvWpjNt8q Neurobiologist, scientist, bitcoiner.

thank you!! finally someone says it. it's cliché, full of plot holes and tries so hard to impress with visuals that are just corny and stupid. It's more like a modern Leni Riefenstahl movie than anything else.

I see it the same way.

I assume it depends in the end what bitcoin represents for you. I believe numbers 1-3 are at the core for someone who views bitcoin through the monetary lense and probably also for someone approaching it more from the philosophical and societal aspect of it (because the impact of bitcoin in those realms are primarily derived from its properties as sound money as well, so secondary or layer 2 properties derived from its core layer 1 monetary bedrock).

If you view bitcoin more from the technical and protocol site, the "thing" you want bitcoin to be could be different. I can understand that...I just hope we don't break bitcoin along the way.

Done,donated a bit.go and make them all purple !

Really interesting new paper exploring how GTP-generated sentences can drive brain region specific responses in humans reading those sentences. Could be a first glimpse into better understanding how LLMs-AI models "interact" with human language as perceived by the brain (in simplified terms). It's with restricted access on Nature but the preprint can be downloaded under https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.04.16.537080v1

Just a reminder to always keep a level of scepticism when reading about scientific breakthroughs in the main press.

Unfortunately, the main press loves to run with these kind of initial scientific reports/breakthroughs but when the science community then corrects itself, as it so often does as part of the regular scientific process, these retractions and correcting articles pretty much never make it into the everyday press.

Ok,so I have just learned about BIP85 and its use case for "child seeds". This seems to me like a really convenient way, even without multisig, to provide/generate multiple wallets for friends or relatives that don't have much bitcoin knowledge and alleviate the fear of losing their seed. Am I missing any disadvantages here? (I never hear BIP85 discussed as a strategy for long term storage or distribution within a defined number of peers when this question is discussed (

All to get more money from the IMF ... and the sad cycle continues

New study shows another possible reason why&how sleep is important for a well functioning brain. Baseline assumption is not new but the group has identified the neurons responsible for this phenomenon.

that's fantastic.
