the 4 yr cycle must break.

imagine a catastrophic event a few thousands yrs ago nearly wiped out humanity. a small group with advanced technology and preserved knowledge escaped beneath the oceans and continued evolving while the survivors on the surface were forced to start over from scratch. over countless generations and continued evolution, the underwater civilization became more advanced, more adapted to their environment and eventually so different from us that they would seem alien. meanwhile, surface humanity rebuilt from primitive caveman, unaware that another branch of our own had continued its technological and evolutionary journey uninterrupted. if such advanced branch of humanity existed today, would they reveal themselves to us? or would they view us the same way we view isolated tribes like those on north sentinel. great to observe but best left undisturbed.

yet again, 4-yr cycle is winning.

whether you like it or not, in a bull market, strc and sata are going to create liquidity on a scale this market hasn’t seen before. just this week, sata alone ended with $164m in liquidity. and yes that’s very good for bitcoin. everyone is simply acting in their own best interest. corporations are doing what they believe is best for their shareholders, just like individual bitcoiners do what they think is best for their families. so stop the hate. pls!

office hours. 🎣

bip 352 (sp) keeps expanding. now live in sparrow wallet 2.5. zcash zcammers not very happy right now.

if the stock market is supposedly about to collapse and we’re sitting at the absolute top of the ai bubble, then why are companies like spacex, openai and soon many more rushing to go public now! this is the beginning of a decade long ai ride. nvidia’s fw p/e is still lower than walmart. that alone tells me everything i need to know about what stage of the “bubble” we’re actually in.

you already know what this means for bitcoin.

one pattern i always notice is that some plebs especially the early bitcoin crowd, act like they own the whole network. to them bitcoin belongs to them and anyone else especially corporations isn’t welcome. if you buy mstr, ibit, etc.. it’s treated like a sin. they never question whether vanguard even allows them to buy actual bitcoin or move it to cold storage which is obviously not an option. they don’t even consider that this might be the only option for bitcoin exposure inside a 401k. similarly if you’re a corporation buying bitcoin, you’re not welcome either. this behavior is completely wrong. bitcoin is ownerless. whether you got in 2010 or today, you have the same rights and access and claim of ownership as anyone else.

mstr and saylor hate among some bitcoiners is weird. you want $10m coin, you want corporations on your side whether you like it or not. and saylor’s comment about selling btc to pay strc dividends is strategic. they need to say things like this and even include them as risk disclosures if they want s&p 500 inclusion. that’s what this is all about.

on another note anthropic shutting down openclaw and trying to clean up everything around it is a terrible move. they had a real chance to acquire and build on top of it instead they sent lawyers and now they’re doubling down. i don’t even think openclaw is close to what agentic workflows will look like in the near future but betting against open source is just wrong. not just morally but strategically too.

agreed. a good example of a bad idea is the whole quantum fear narrative where incentive driven bad actors try to use it as a reason to push protocol changes.

you can either get angry at ai or just stay calm and tell it exactly what you want. garbage in, garbage out.

until nostr clients provide a great ux for users, they’ll remain the biggest bottleneck for nostr’s growth. take primal for example. its cache sucks and often doesn’t work. if you can’t see your posts or other people’s posts, it’s not you. it’s primal cache.

he’s not just crazy, he’s stupid too. bad combo for a prime minister.

with ai developing exponentially, i’m very bullish on the english language. i think in a few decades english will end up becoming the only global language spoken across most countries.

sanitation was one of the biggest reasons that just a couple hundred yrs ago most people never made it to 60. today we barely think about it. clean water, sewage systems, basic hygiene. that’s abundance. then came the industrial revolution. steam engines, factories, electricity, railroads. machines replaced muscle and multiplied output per person. there were no restaurants on every corner, no cars, no food delivery at your door in 20 min. all of it came from innovation and tech quietly upgrading human life. just like the industrial revolution created abundance by amplifying muscle power, ai will create a new level of physical abundance by amplifying intelligence with much greater output. the industrial revolution scaled labor. ai scales problem solving. and when problem solving scales, the entire world gets redesigned.
