I wish I could find the person who first peddled the idea that humans are either left brained or right brained. Iβd slap them for making it seem like I must be one or the other.
Creative or Logical.
I wake up everyday, early in the morning to write. Some mornings my logical brain wants to crunch numbers, iron out a plan, solve a problem.
Other mornings my soul takes over my fingers and lets things arrive from nothing.
I donβt get to decide when Iβm creative or logical.
Thay might change soon! Bitcoin for america 2025 bill
"Such possibilities notwithstanding, surely the most momentous consequence of the new digital currency will be the end of inflation and the deleverage of the financial system"
- Sovereign Individual 1997
Truly astonishing how the chapter on "cyber economy" quite literally describes bitcoin and AI agents.
Looks like the ai circle curfafle is unraveling in the stock market
Reading the Sovereignty Individual and having conversations with my cousin who is american and lives in Japan made me realize a pattern.
I live and work in America so I make my salary in dollars.
Vs my cousin who lives and works in Japan so he makes Yen.
Flip that and you see the pattern. Fiat is by decree of a sovereign.
I earn my money by decree of the United States.
My cousin by decree of Japan.
Earn in bitcoin and under what sovereignty do you lie?
Your own.
Welcome! This will be a great thing for you business!
Btc sessions talks about it all the time. Check out his videos
I wish you luck putting together your local market! I'm moving to El Paso here in a few months and hope to do the same there.
The heresy, the defiance in Victor Frankenstein's efforts to stitch together the limbs of the dead portrayed beautifully in Guillermo Del Toro's movie draws an uncanny parallel to today's tech elite stitching together the dead internet to give us AI.
We lean forward mesmerized by its whisper, believing it better than our own.
We've forked over handfuls of money seeking greater productivity and receive in return a monstrous pirouette of disjointed movements.
Those who've purchased shares have profited mightily, even as circular capital injections keep this monster alive.
The story of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein has been with us since 1818. It has been butchered and adapted like a mirror reflection of the monster in the story for over a century.
Guillermo Del Toro has been trying to make his faithful adaptation for 20 years.
We now have a Frankenstein movie for this era, when its most desperately needed.

The Sovereign Individual- 1997
Sweet! You'll be one of the few folks on NOSTR getting them zaps this morning!
Lol, all my posts are showing as my very first profile name and pic. Crazy, it must be some relay I haven't used in a long time feeding the network.
What do you use as your receiving wallet in nostr? I just sent a test transaction through a fedimint wallet and it worked
I know there isn't much conversation about Fedi on NOSTR but I just ran a test transaction between my cashapp and a random fedi community wallet and it worked even though 1 of the 4 guardians were down.
I like the fact that ecash can be sent even without internet and a federated mint can be made resilient by having guardians run different set ups to ensure uptime.
Now with the new randomized guardian collection mechanism that Fedi implemented you can imagine a switch board like mechanism being used to ensure maximum uptime.
My question is, couldnt we do something similar with NOSTR. Just make it like one giant fedimint community. I mean thats kind of what it is already right?
What are the technical requirements to meet with this framework?
I think yakihonne's wallet uses cloudflare because its not working, otherwise I'd zap this! Too good.
All my self hosted stuff used Cloudflare tunnels. So long as I'm in my own LAN I don't need it but I should plan to put in a failsafe in case this starts happening more frequently.
Anthropic outed themselves to ensure the authorities new.
Well, yesterday we discovered there was an "espionage" exploitation by chinese hackers using claude. Crazy stuff. Might be ww3 is already happening in cyberspace.
I mean, I kind of get it. Its clean. Have sats written out doesnt quite hit right when every currency in history has had some icon. I've seen the sats icon that looks like a meat skewer, maybe it should be that instead of the B?
So from what I read, yes square charges fees for credit card transactions but because they are rolling this out and trying to get traction its a fee less alternative only for bitcoin transactions.
Apparently its right on the dashboard and all they have to do is toggle it on
When was the last time you zapped a good article or video on nostr? nostr:naddr1qqgr2wfcxd3kye3kxejrgdr9v4snyq3q4hq5lgadtyy9dhvtszq46dnl0s0xwdddqr7e32rdqqhma8a4xhssxpqqqp65wrmcu96
I think there's a portion of the mind that has gotten used to being the product and thus getting content for free on other platforms. The algorithm game has trained us well to use likes and shares but there is nothing like going direct to the source and giving value where values worth. The content here should be creme de la creme because of the ability to skip the need for sponsors, skip the need to develop a huge following.
Pure signal can only come when we decide to tune in!
Great article encompassing the shift in mindset nostr can achieve for our society. nostr:naddr1qqgr2wry8p3nje3evsunsvtrvs6nyq3q4hq5lgadtyy9dhvtszq46dnl0s0xwdddqr7e32rdqqhma8a4xhssxpqqqp65wc7urxe
My brother works in big tech and everytime I bring up nostr he mentions that its ridiculous that people are building something for no compensation.
He always says, we'll whats in it for them to try and build something great that will only be copied by the next guy. Its a shame because he is a very talented software engineer. In fact its funny because his political Philosophy is very liberal and borderline socialist yet he can't grasp the concept of nostr.
Not to say nostr is socialist, rather that him being of a socialist political bent is wrapped up in a techno capitalist monopoly style mind set when it comes to software.

Do you consider exchange for goods and service selling?
Our kids, that is talking about the kids right now, will have a dramatically different reality of work than what we are used to. I think the stance you're taking is even more important now more than ever in order to avoid a cognitive dissonance between our children's generation and ours.
Really cool way of looking at how the overton window is shifting for tradfi
If i were to vlog, it would be about the lack of civic participation in usa. Im not talking about fed level stuff everyone and their mother has an opinion. I'm talking about your city or country level stuff.
Just not enough going into it. Might be why we are having probs.
Anyone self hosting llms here? What kinds of things are you doing with it and why, if you dont mind me asking?
