How much does it worth (not how much it costs) to send IP packets over the internet nowadays?

That's the expected value of one satoshi in a future where bitcoin is as omnipresent as the internet.

The screen price tells you nothing about the true value of Bitcoin.

Try to use your brain instead of trying to be right.

Great talk with nostr:npub1z5umqa38xfv94y3fpver2khw2qar2v54jetl24939j4f0yyhggdqrh5lwd today at nostr:npub1ze93u0u37u3x0gnfffgxl33k60v7t3afs64jgzf4xznapr4ra5us0u3pxq about bitcoin initiatives at universities.

As I say, this is the institutionalization era of Bitcoin and it will be done when universities start to formally teach Bitcoin courses and programs.

Ella is driving it from the students side, I'm pushing it from the inside. Let's see what future reserves us.

Next week I'm attending nostr:npub1ze93u0u37u3x0gnfffgxl33k60v7t3afs64jgzf4xznapr4ra5us0u3pxq to talk about the gap between Bitcoin and the Academia.

They say that to change academia is like moving a graveyard: you can't count with their inhabitants. This is true in so many aspects. Yet, I believe both communities could benefit from more interaction.

For academia, Bitcoin is a huge source of problems in the frontier of knowledge that require strong science. Also, it's an opportunity for working on real-world projects that will impact the lives of millions for good. Contributing to open source is an obvious way of returning the humongous investment all countries make in higher education in a meaningful way.

On the Bitcoin side, having some of the smartest brains around has the potential to accelerate the pace of innovation and security in many protocols.

This is not to say that Bitcoin needs the academic community, quite the contrary. If we, scholars, don't get out of the ivory tower and embrace the self-organizingethos of Bitcoin and related technologies, we will be obliterated by reality.

Thinking about building a team of students at the University to make a proof of concept with that idea. Maybe we could do something together one day.

Imagine an obsidian vault backed by nostr, maybe with optional encryption and a way to selectively unencrypt selected notes to share with others.

"Wallet distribution" probably works well to convey to the general public the idea of funds dynamics that you seem to be heading to.

"Address distribution" is probably more technically correct, but does it speak well to your intended audience (without having to explain too much)?

Thought of "Balance distribution" (which I personally like) or "Funds distribution", those might work too.

That's what I imagined. The expression "wallet distribution" got me confused that somehow you could estimate that too.

Vai ter Bitcoin na universidade pública. Será que sai uns bitcoiners daí?

BTW, você pode assistir às minhas aulas no YouTube: https://youtube.com/@edilmedeiros?si=HGAVqLEjRi72MmlH

São Paulo is nice, Satsconf is great. I recommend you also consider btc++ in Florianópolis next year, one of the best cities in Brazil to chill out in the beaches.
