Nate is awesome! This video of his is why I’ve built and maintained Hegemon (posted link earlier today) for my own use. I’m not really launching a software for you all that is to be a product, although I forked it from my local and sterilized it, branded it with grok, and made it public. But, I am really just openly sharing my homemade hacked together tool with you all. I’m loving it and evolving it alongside my use of the latest AI models. Nate is 99% signal. Enjoy.

Fresh release. Here’s the AI Development Orchestration Framework that I’ve been using and building for my own needs for the past year. Subagents, scope-driven, for when production goals need guided and maintained focus. I use it on my Mac with Claude in terminal in Cursor. But it’s IDE and model independent for the most part. I integrated a TTS local model via Ollama for local audio ease (poor ElevenLabs). I integrated Specify in a wrapper for taking. It’s all about getting work done where the deliverable matters. It lives in your project directory. Hegemon is the Ancient Greek task master that keeps all the workers on task. Seemed fitting. It’s a GitHub template so best to create your new project with this as the template and run from there. Enjoy!

How the USA and GRB are now settling our disputes.

GM and happy Saturday.

Just texted this Bear Market message to a close friend. You, too, could act like a close friend. Or send it to your close friend. But certain people need to hear this. It's so much better to teach in a bear market than a bull market. "With Bitcoin dipping like this, some people are panicking. I thought to myself who would actually listen to me if I said now is your time to buy more. You came to mind. So I will prod you. While Bitcoin is under $90 it is available cheaper than they can mine it with an active operation. What I would consider doing is setting $100,000 to buy $1000 per week for the next 100 weeks. With this set up, you are inclined to take full advantage of any bear market we're facing. You'll be happy when the price goes down. You'll be happy when the price goes up. Zero emotion. Buying an asset that has tremendous longevity during a bear market is one of the most fulfilling things I've ever done. If you don’t already have a River.com account, that’s a perfect place to do it. Park the $100k FDIC insured at River and that earns 3.75% in bitcoin while it waits to buy bitcoin and you set up your recurring buy strategy there. Last I looked they would even perform your DCA with fees waived on those transactions." Here’s the referral link I sent him so we'd both get rewards for the new account (but you would use yours if you have one, of course):

River

Invest in Bitcoin with confidence. | River

Sign up for River using my link and earn up to $100 in bitcoin.

My monitoring of the cost to bring a new bitcoin to market is +/- $90k. That’s my hurdle rate for buying it vs mining it. If the price is less than 90k, buy it at market. If the price is over 90k, put capital to mining operations and earn it by running miners on network. That’s the threshold currently for my entities still this cycle.

This is why you borrow against your house and other recognized collateral assets to buy Bitcoin. Not the other way around. (Not a link. Just screenshotting my panicked YT feed.)

Didn’t know if we’d get any more Bitcoin Funeral content claiming that Bitcoin has died. But it actually already seems to be queuing up nicely. Let’s go ahead and run those articles so we can turn this bitch around. I only have 10 years left on this phase of my Low Time Preference clock.

@jb55 brain dumping to Nostr Nights #1 at @Bitcoin Park about autonomous nostr agents with #OpenClaw.

The kind of shit we can do now. Software as a Commodity. The real IP and value is the Data, the Strategic Insight, the Human Interface, and the Relationships to the Customer and Industry.

Pulled some 1 Troy oz silver rounds and silver eagles from the box to sell at about $120. Was going to buy some bitcoin for a rainy day with the metal money premium. Stopped by two gold/silver coin dealers in the middle of a Thurs, and all quiet, all locked up. Called two more and no answer, straight to machine or voicemail. What good is it. Can’t sell it. Can’t eat it. Can’t spend it. Time to make a little statue or something with it. Bitcoin is so much more liquid.

Holders that watch price during dips. Just standing there wide-eyed, watching their flickering wicks. Best to just focus on revenue instead, deliver some value for value and stack cheap sats. Learn. Teach. Build. ...or maybe write. I'm working on a book for holders and their families.

I’d be tempted to buy silver and gold for my portfolio but it really seems too volatile.

These types of classic units speak to me. I’m inclined to gut this, load it with my audio connections to my #Clawdbot / #Moltbot and wire up the buttons for specific model modes and voice engagements. Have a #RaspberryPi sitting unused. Perfect for that with a setup to discord that links to the bot’ed Mac mini.

Fresh supply of #WTFisBitcoin in hand. Going to restock the @Bitcoin Park freebie table for Nostr Nights with @Derek Ross and the rest of the Nostr executive team.

Kits sounds like Satoshi in this clip when asked about this AI usage model. “If you don’t see it...” 🤣 https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxZflvtD9njVYcuRDPpetmI5gvTq5uRi91

@npub1v0tf...3m3e I caught you calling out some premium leathersmiths at a point and I reached out for a custom job to Chester Mox since you were too busy at the time. I got no response and their socials seem stale. Are they still around? Any alternate suggestions for a custom run of a few of these as rendered? Wanting them to fit the @Foundation Passport Prime.

There’s likely more than one writer out there that was proud of their reliably accurate, expert use of the em dash over their years of writing; only to be completely shat upon now when they use it.

I like bacon. I believe in bacon. When I see a bear, I don’t poke it. But if I do go to poke it, I don’t fill my pocket with bacon. But if I must carry my bacon, I leave the bear great distance for it to focus on eating berries. I don’t wrestle bears. I like bears. Bears do good work. I give them space. I don’t give my bacon; Nor my legs.
