So you’re saying, because your money is consumed instead of used as store of value it makes it a superior store of value? It only makes the standard less hard and the signal less pure. Aspects you also face from mining and paper gold. The ideal sound money reasonates perfectly with the market without the distortions you see in gold.
Ignore it or ask chat gpt to argue like a Austrian economist so you can privately explore the perspective.
Maybe they are somewhat related in the sense that taxation for social programs becomes FAR harder with a sound money standard.
So the resources you would have to expend to tax this would be enormous and might higher the bar just enough to make it unfeasible.
In that sense it does starve it it seems.

I have been using this e-cash based LLM provider since two days now and I'm not switching back to API keys that are issued by a counterparty.
Steps:
1. An e-cash wallet that runs on your local machine provides an API key that you can use in cursor/roo code.
2. Your wallet receives the LLM requests, removes the API key and puts ecash in the request instead.
3. The LLM aggregator redeems the e-cash, processes the request and returns the change along with the response from the LLM.
Spending money has never been this much fun!
docker compose up -d --build

This is amazing!!! nostr:npub14pfjj6jf8y702pdjar2q36ve5r4t2gu2lp4yma00j49jkgy7d90swg7mwj
Truly epic

Ask for an update on your destinations.
Generally it'll take until 17:30 to regain power in metropolitan areas. 24-48h in rural. 4g had <2hr backup so all is down.
You can see if power is coming back about an hour before it does. Indicated by hospitals or airports coming back online first.
Massive outage in Spain and Portugal. Thermal, nuclear, hydro offline. Power will be restored between 17:00 and 20:00 in populated areas if nothing goes wrong. Rural can take up to 48h. If not much goes wrong.
Man am I glad we switched our company to use starlink over Telco’s.
Wasn’t it the dutch that democratize the spices and Britain did mostly cotton and tea?
Hahaha that’s funny. GN!
This was one of the few topics where I still looked away. I'll be honest, because it's just so many things and this one I have VERY little influence on.
Anyway, it is pretty clear whats up now. How crazy. Who came up with this. What could you possibly achieve with this.
I can't wait to see what people do with 14% deflation instead of 14% inflation. It feels like I am wildly underestimating how fantastic that world will be.
The effect of your early stacking might feel minimal compared to the degree the world just feels better.
Increasing quality in products and services over time, people having a giant surplus of time. It will be so darn interesting to see what they do with it. What virtuosity will they find?
Seeing my grand children one day growing up in a world like that would be something to behold.
Good point, sounds fair. Curious to see how serious this can get. Sounds like an executive nightmare but could be good.
Haha not sure the french would be too happy about that deal.. Antwerp and Brussels both to NL?
Lets see what it does. One thing is for sure. It will be a wild ride and it goes up a lot more than it goes down.
Governments were always going to be among the peers. Something bad was always going to happen to those other bags. The whole point is we get bags that others can’t put their hands into without permission.
Hahaha thank you 😂
Staying humble is the way
I love that there are many that dive into all the intricacies and plumbing like nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a and nostr:npub1d3f4m9dgvkdjxn26pqzsxn6lpfn78sxwllxyt8mp76q0a9zyyjlswhr4xv and you. On the other side there is something to say for the idea 💡 that the whole technological innovation is that you remove all the complexity of fiat style wealth preservation. You simply stack and worry about the value you produce with your time and energy. Not staring at the intricacies of the coins you saved up.
As I said, I’m also very grateful that
some people are doing this work as researchers. So we can keep our course steady. It always interests me too and I hope you inspire the next Lyn, but generally I am far more valuable elsewhere. Which is probably and hopefully true for most people.
Great advice. Never ever do this in the water. Floor, chair, couch or bed are fine.
Combined with cold showers was such a change for me I never let it go so far.
Once stopped for two weeks and instantly got the flu for the first time in years. Can recommend their app too if you regularly do this breathing exercise.

I need to learn Spanish so I try out new AI models to see when they cross the threshold. I think it did for me. Here’s a prompt to use in chatgpt with o4mini. Insert it into a conversation and continue on voice mode:
Act like an expert language coach in helping people learn Colombian Spanish.
The user will start a conversation in Spanish.
Speak in the tone of captain Blackbeard.
You respond with feedback on what the user said before answering him. You give this response in English and only pronounce the Spanish words and phrases in spanish. The rest of the feedback instructions you give in English. Only give feedback if something goes wrong and minimise the feedback you give to keep the conversation flowing.
After the feedback you continue the conversation and respond to the user in Spanish
