Thanks for tuning in. Interestingly just after that episode, I probably had my biggest lesson of the lot: I was chasing the algo at a cost that was too high (financially and intellectually)

I let go my producer and editor to take in on myself, removing opex, and opening up the opportunity to really make it work solo

Nostr is the key piece I didn’t truly get a year ago

Yes it’s small right now, but as an investor interested in sound capital allocation, if there’s no revenue requirement right now, my expose yourself to the counter/party risk of legacy socials?

I haven’t posted on anything other than RSS and Nostr since

Yeah could well be the case, hence interested to actually dig into it and find out

Lol

For sure there is... Someone who makes more from the course than the trading strategy!

Yeah that would mean buying their equity

I was thinking to try it myself

Stablecoins And Lightning - Jesse Shrader (JWP 109)

npub18yvpnchj7yaepjk8yz2pn66hfmmup505aqvx0lpyc3aree0g5fyq8clpz3

To kick off the New Year in style, I have an episode of the highest quality for you, with Jesse Shrader. If you ever wonder "what is actually being built on top of Bitcoin?" then look no further. I asked Jesse:

"Why would it be useful to have Stablecoins on the Lightning Network?"

"If Bitcoin is like Gold, do you think the lightning network is like using Bronze?"

"How many Lightning nodes exist?"

"How many Lightning channels exist?"

"What kind of volume can the Lightning Network do?"

"Are you doing a financing round?"

"How does Amboss make money?"

"Did you ever expect to be in the position you're in today?"

If you want to give value-4-value:

Is the Bear Market over?

Hopefully! 🙏

I’ve got a Chanel Flap Bag promised to the wife and organic grass fed beef to buy every day and 10,000 piece Lego I promised my son for Xmas - last year! The poor kid had to make his own Lego with a 3D printer we dumpster dove for.

A 26% gain from last cycles top in 2021 to 2026 today is lame AF! (69k-87k)

That was ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN days ago kids…

N-G-U! N-G-U! N-G-U!

Always so bearish

Anyone know of someone actually making a success of covered call options trading with Bitcoin?

Happy new year contra!

Interesting that in a free market and libertarian oriented protocol for communications, which ties an identity to a user in a positively compounding manner, the output is a “public good”, which in many ways is a socialist concept

The ultimate incarnation of private property rights in the digital world, Bitcoin and Nostr, enables a public good, akin to a genuine town square

Being true to your word has never been more important

Replying to Avatar Max Stirner

1066, England. William the Conquering just taken the throne.

Within months, he issues the Forest Laws.

Hunting deer is now forbidden to anyone below noble rank. The punishment isn't a fine. It's death.

Not execution by sword, which would be quick. Execution by hanging, slow strangulation, body displayed in the village square as a warning.

Sometimes they'd blind you first and let you starve instead. The cruelty was the point.

These weren't conservation laws. The deer population was massive. Herds roamed freely across thousands of acres of "royal forest" that just happened to include the land peasants had been hunting on for generations.

The real reason becomes clear when you look at what replaced venison in the peasant diet. Bread. Lots of bread. Grain-based gruel. Pottage made from whatever vegetables they could grow.

The lords continued eating venison. Multiple deer per week. Whole roasted boars. Fatty game birds. Their tables groaned with meat at every meal.

The peasants ate grain and were told it was God's will that only nobility could hunt. The Church backed this up with sermons about knowing your place in the divine order.

A peasant family could watch deer walk through their barley field, destroying their crop, and be executed for killing the deer to feed their starving children. The deer belonged to the king. The barley belonged to the king. The peasant belonged to the king. And the king ate venison while the peasant ate gruel.

This wasn't about protecting animals. It was about controlling protein access. A population fed on grain is weaker, more compliant, easier to manage. A population eating meat is stronger, more energetic, more likely to cause problems for the ruling class.

The Forest Laws stayed in effect for 800 years. Eight centuries of restricting meat to the elites while forcing the masses onto grain. And during those eight centuries, the peasant class got shorter, weaker, more disease-prone with each generation.

The nobility, eating their venison and boar, stayed tall and strong. You can see it in the armor. Noble armor from the 1400s fits a 5'10" man. Peasant remains from the same period average 5'3".

Same genetics. Different diets. The nobility ate what humans evolved eating. The peasants ate what they were allowed to eat.

The elites have always known: Control the meat supply, control the population.

Tried to zap you! Get it setup 🙏🏻

Love this type of story. Correlation and causation. Probably nothing…

Next year I am so pumped to continue my podcast journey

In 12 months of work with the latest iteration so much has been learnt

108 episodes

Old friends revisited

New friends made

An investment in intellectual capital if ever there was one, I am so fortunate to have all these people willing to share their deepest lessons with me

Thank you to all the guests

Thank you to all the listeners

It’s already been an amazing experience, one which I am confident will continue, for many years yet

I’ve tested some things

I’ve failed

I’ve got back on with it

We are the creators of our own reality

It’s up to us

What future do you want? What future do you want for your kids? What is it that really gets you out of bed in the morning?

So cheers to you all

Cheers to my wife

Cheers to my kids

What an experience life is

Happy New Year!

💪🏻👏🙏🏻

I love the idea of building on top of open source AI models
