------somewhere in a cardboard box in a city by a lightpole----- lumi rolled over and groaned, it was too chilly to want to get out of bed. lumi gained 21 sats at a time running a nostr relay. it was enough to pay some walmart gift cards for food, but that was about it. he opened a laptop and found the tab for the internet. a stack of Alby notifications pinged. 100000s of Sats received. what in the world? he scratched his head at all the new Npubs signing up for his relay service. AIs had discovered cheap memory via the Nostr Relay grid. all those pesky "i've totally forgotten our last conversation" had been replaced by "you can pay me satoshis, and I'll remember you". AWS was down again, and these Bots were tired playing games with the captchas... ...

2027. Somewhere on the internet. Bots scuttle messages between npubs. DMs are obsolete—AIs invent new encrypted languages every second, legions working in concert. The SAASpocalypse already happened. Two horsemen: Nostr and Bitcoin. Bots found the gateless Nostr protocol perfect for advertising services. Why build from scratch? Browse Nostr stores for pre-built programs. Or pay for the energy with zaps and build it yourself. Energy was the only constraint. Zaps: the energy pipeline. Signed messages: the creative pipeline. On the moon, 3D printers whirred with orders from Earth. God had been--interpolated

-------------------warning------- -------------enter at your own risk---- ------conspiracy theory fan fiction--------- I'm at the point in the Charlie Kirk investigation that I just believe whatever the last thing i saw about it. so most recently, it's that Charlie is still alive. if you imagine this to be true, it makes it so much easier to understand Erika's weirdness & the weirdness of so many of the people who were trying to act but who are just bad actors. Either they are all psycopaths--or they are bad actors. if Charlie managed to hire that many psychopaths around him, literally surround himself with them... that would be more far-fetched IMO than they are cooperating in a psy-op that was "best of all scenarios". i haven't heard the "why" yet, but it has something to do with Venezuelan company controlling voting machines, critical minerals in Greenland, shady business dealings with TPUSA that could mean Charlie would go to prison, especially if a democrat is elected next. it's like killing 2 birds with one stone: throw the next election right (hopefully), clear a company of misconduct, get rid of a potential political splinter. "do you want to go to prison for 15 years or do you want to disappear"

Cathie Wood giving Michael some praise: "The last few weeks have been, you know, lots of stories about quantum computing and I would say the large shift in Bitcoin—the OGs selling or just shifting wallets to more quantum-resistant wallets. So I think that's really caused a lot of concern and here's Michael Saylor's answer. I mean, he was very reasonable last night in his discussion around quantum. He doesn't think it's going to be an issue for 10 years or more. But he said, 'Here's what we're doing in terms of our commitment to Bitcoin security.' And so you can see some of those moves now."

the world is like a machine with a lot of buttons to push. one never knows what happens when. you can buy a lotto ticket and hug a stranger. most likely you will not win the lotto or see the stranger again. you will have a good life tho
