They really do grow up so fast.

Hahahahah see it’s real

My favorite part of this whole Strategic Bitcoin Reserve timeline besides the long term geopolitical implications is the newfound knowledge that the government has a strategic cheese stockpile too.

I mean, do we know what kind of cheese it is? Parmigiano Reggiano, undisputed king of cheeses? It can’t be bleu, that would just be a pile of mold on any long term timeframe. Bleu is the memecoin of cheeses.

It’s up to millennials to save the world.

I think it’s the pizza syndrome.

People don’t want to look back and think “that beer cost me 100k” 5 years ago.

scammers hate nostr because they cannot block replies or delete posts

Does it feel like not wanting to really do anything anymore? I feel so unmotivated lately and just assume it is the end of winter. Going to read a goggins book to try to get some motivation to do something. My life is too much of a cakewalk.

Now that I'm 40, nothing happened and nothing's changed.

The Game Is Rigged—And You’re the Product 🎩💸

You work harder, earn more, and think you're getting ahead… but 12.6% of your money vanishes every year.

That’s not a one-time event. It’s baked into the system. Over a decade, that’s a 71% wealth drain—without you even realizing it.

🖨️ More money printed = Your purchasing power stolen

📉 More dollars in existence = Your time is worth less

🕰️ More inflation = You work longer for the same stuff

This isn’t a “bad year.” It’s the historical average. The system was built to extract value from you.

21 million fixes this—because nobody can print more of it.

GM #nostr - just listening to a twitter spaces chat with people from the UK trying to figure out how to fix the politics over here.

It's kinda sweet that not everyone has given up.

Gonna try to vibe-code a Keet-style app using Iroh instead of that Javascript / C slop known as Holepunch. Use Nostr identities instead of something custom.

Good morning, beloved. ☕

GM: Bitcoin is money, already.

GM, #Nostr. ☕😊🤙

I hope you're having a great weekend. 🫂

I'm busy here, spending time with family. 💜

It's another nice day to be outside. 🌤️

If you're not going after what you want in life, then what are you even doing?

No way it's just stacking sats and staying "humble."

Stack skills and the sats will follow 😎

Are there still places with vibes anymore? Or did the internet kind of kill it?

I feel like digital spaces have vibes. Nostr has a vibe for sure, but everywhere I go (in America at least) feels flat, steril and homogenous now.

People like to pretend otherwise, romanticizing local charm and it’s fun to do so, but in reality there is no meaningful difference between New York, LA, Chicago, Austin, Miami etc…

The differences feel increasingly superficial. Miami with its neon pink and bad Latin art. New York with its identical minimalist cafes selling identical oat lattes. These aren’t cities anymore, they’re brands. “Keep Austin Weird” feels less like the rallying cry of a bohemian collective and more like a safe corporate brand slogan.

It wasn’t always like this. Cities used to incubate true subcultures that couldn’t thrive anywhere else. Seattle once had grunge music emerging organically from local clubs, distinct in sound and attitude. Detroit was a birthplace for techno and industrial grit that couldn’t have been manufactured. New Orleans had jazz clubs and vibrant local traditions that permeated every street corner authentically. Before the internet collapsed distances, you could sense deep authenticity upon arriving somewhere new. The vibe wasn’t something designed by marketing departments; it was organically woven into the streets, the people, the music, and local myths.

Now, vibes feel engineered and commoditized, reduced to Instagrammable moments and easily replicable aesthetics. I once watched from the balcony of my hotel in Nashville as 200 women waited in line to take the same stupid picture with the same stupid set of angel wings.

Digital spaces, ironically, have become refuges of uniqueness, fostering communities unburdened by geographical homogenization. Platforms like nostr host unique niche communities, from hyper-specific gaming bitcoin cultural milieu to obscure philosophical discussions, that retain genuinely distinctive vibes.

Perhaps we’re now entering a strange inversion, where real-world spaces chase digital popularity, adopting blandness to maximize broad appeal.

In this inversion, digital worlds might become the primary spaces where unique vibes survive, thrive, and multiply—leaving our physical world as little more than a flattened reflection of what used to be.

Nostr is where the vibes are at.
