I was today years old when I finally fully grasped nominal and effective calculation of rates... I will never mess them up ever again🤦‍♂️🎉

Let's be Toxic Self-Custody Maxis

Humans are generally self-preserving, and even moreso in a zero sum game. We only really have reason to cooperate when it's not zero sum. Paraphrased from a friend: Fiat games are driving so much zero sum thinking because that's what it rewards. Exit to Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is scalable sound money. Bitcoin is sound money. Bitcoin is a currency. Bitcoin is a commodity. Bitcoin is a tech stock. Bitcoin is a casino. This is the full range of the knots vs core debate. You’re welcome!

Not Left, Not Right. Not rich, Not poor It's the money—No integrity, no compass, no core Value pools in closed circuits; all the world's a Ponzi circus Zero-sum; no fair exchange— talk runs dry; trust turns strange Divided we are—easy to conquer. Fix the money. Fix the world.

Such a great video for anyone vibecoding - great suggestions on typing, linting and especially managing modularity!

Bitchat, what do I do now?

I think we got the hang of vibe coding banging our head against the laptop yesterday and looking to level up more with Bootoshi ( https://x.com/KingBootoshi) Key takeaways: - linting and typing instructions are important, or needs chatGPT intervention as AI just tries to delete them or doesn’t always remember to handle for it - save save save when things work to your liking enough so you have an example to show AI to improve with and compare against - simple things like naming conventions and promises are important to get right from the beginning if you want to save money - telling the AI to step back and take stock of the bigger picture helps it offer better solutions as it’s better at analyzing so you can give inputs on what to do and not to do - refactoring code, modules and pipelines can be really helpful to reduce redundancies but make sure to save to GitHub first - when making requests for changes to an API, ask it to dig into all components of services and controller BE and FE pipes - code snippets and examples help the AI find patterns quickly and efficiently More to come tomorrow as we dig into database optimization and state handling. End of the day though you figure out what works for you with languages you ideally know and multiple AIs and toolings to cross reference things.

TBH, AI has gotten waaayyy better for Bitcoin development - and also I think we more so got tons better at using it too lol - feeding it the right context is a SKILL

ChatGPT is just way better at research - use it to make prompts for Claude!

Thought provoking! View article →

decoding PSBTs is a great way to get AI to learn what style you want it to construct them in, reverse engineer

Did I mention this already? AI does full docker setups for you with server, database and redis as well! Adds some overhead costs but is quite handy with the usually annoying devops here

if working with external APIs from a dev environment, you want to use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost for callbacks and allow CORS from there on your backend - AI gets stuck on this

Looking forward to the day our great economists are ready to admit they were wrong. It just takes forever though to have enough data to create the correlation with enough mergin for error to adjust theses in the field today though... Thomas Piketty was really on to something though, just didn't follow it through to Bitcoin.

Nobel Laureate Eugene Fama Predicts Bitcoin Will Become Worthless - ProMarket

Nobel Prize-winning economist Eugene Fama argues that Bitcoin is fundamentally flawed and predicts it has a near-certain chance of becoming worthle...

The fact that AI didn't know you had to use the ECC library specifically for taproot stuff... lol, learning with it

I love Ordinals, and I switched to Knots - Bitcoin is Money, let's add more functionality already though, CTV please!

Don't Invest in Bitcoin, Exit to Bitcoin.

A great perspective on WHY nostr :D View article →
