so many scams are being exposed now with the help of ai.

orange bit’s going places, carrying every scam token with it like suckerfish latched onto a whale for a free ride.

bulls’re outta their caves. 🤣

quantum entanglement.

asia took $btc to almost $80k overnight. looks like a global consensus forming. more like a repricing across markets than a local squeeze.

gm! give nostrich a try. 𓅦 View quoted note →

we center so much of nostr around zaps because they’re one of its strongest value props, yet the experience is unbelievably fragmented across clients. you can switch clients but you rarely keep the same seamless zapping setup. in practice, every client wants to become its own little wallet ecosystem and wants to create its own monopoly, which makes portability much worse than it should be.

send and receive zaps in style, switch between multiple accounts seamlessly, fully customize your experience, built-in GIF library powered by GIPHY, track dynamic cashtags with real-time charts, and much more.

we don’t have to make things complicated.

compute is insanely expensive and chinese models are making it even harder for openai and anthropic to ever become sustainably profitable. my guess is google eventually acquires anthropic since it’s already a major shareholder and openai ultimately gets pushed into some kind of spacex deal. until then both companies can keep tapping public markets, drain liquidity through upcoming ipos but i still don’t see a clear path to durable profitability for either one.

when you try to create a god and still believe you can control it, one of two things has to be true: either the god you created isn’t nearly as powerful as you think or you’ve vastly overestimated your ability to control it.

about 250k bitcoin left to mine before the next halving. after that, the entire 4-yr halving cycle will produce only about 300k btc. no chart explains it better than the simple truth itself.

situational awareness.

in probably 15-20 yrs, instead of the biggest divisions being politics or even religion, there may really be just two camps: those who want to enhance and redesign the human body and those who want to preserve it. politicians, leaders, movements, even entire cultures could eventually organize themselves around that single question: how far should we be willing to change what it means to be human.

imo there will also be a fork in human evolution. group 1 will want to become superhuman. taller, smarter, stronger, more attractive and able to live much longer. and eventually they’ll get what they want. group 2 will be the traditionalists. they’ll want to preserve the natural human form and experience as much as possible. over time these two paths will diverge so much that they almost become separate branches of humanity.

when electricity was first introduced, its impact on the economy wasn’t very visible or significant for about 40 yrs. factories basically replaced steam engines with electric motors while keeping the same old infra. real exponential acceleration only came when they started tearing everything down and rebuilding factories around electricity from the ground up. we’re seeing something very similar with ai. and it could continue for another 10 yrs or so. we’re creating this incredible technology and then doing what? handing it to humans to use within the same old systems. real deflation won’t arrive until the economy itself is rewired around ai with less and less human involvement.

the human body is fully programmable, and so is every other living organism. we just don’t understand all the code yet but ai will help us get there. it’s the next stage in human evolution, much like the discovery of fire. fire wasn’t just a tool. it changed the course of human evolution. ai will do the same. it’s not just a tool.

ai liquidity drain continues.

some people think of pow like an algorithm or a piece of software. they completely miss the sheer physical power and accuracy of voting with energy. there’s nothing abstract about it and it can’t be faked. pow is by far the most powerful consensus mechanism ever created and bitcoin is the best representation of it.

bitcoin has this tradition where every 5-6 yrs, it needs to humble a new group of quarter brain coiners who think they can reinvent bitcoin.
