About two yrs ago on july 21, 2024, gold was about $2,400, silver $29, and copper $4.20. Today, august 24, 2026: Gold: $4,639 → +93% Silver: $68.54 → +136% Copper: $6.61 → +57% It's just the beginning. we've seen nothing yet. especially for bitcoin. #supercycle View quoted note →

no other company in the world has done more for bitcoin adoption than block. not even close. huge hats off to jack for pushing it forward. View quoted note →

dynamic cashtags look absolutely gorgeous on @Nostrich

just about two yrs ago, being a developer was a privilege, limited to a small group of people in the world. today i don’t even consider it a skill. ideas and execution are what matter. that’s what defines who actually builds the future now. either face reality or keep falling in love with artifacts you create 1,000x slower than a $500 gpu.

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

if you’re thinking like well someone’s gotta buy these scam tokens for the price to move, you’re dead wrong. it’s mostly liquidity providers sitting on exchange APIs like vampires, programmed to react to every bitcoin move. View quoted note →

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.

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.

we don’t have to make things complicated.

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.

now that y’all shipped your corn back to the exchanges, who’s gonna claim your forky dorky bip110 bags and dump ’em for lunch money? 😂

i hate saying this but bitcoin’s current self custody mechanics are probably the biggest reason of slow adoption. not because bitcoin’s architecture is fundamentally too complex for self custody but because we as devs have done a pretty lousy job improving the ux for regular users. If securing your money is that hard, people simply won’t take the risk.

i’ve come to the understanding that anything touching bitcoin has to stay open source, even commercial products built by third-party vendors. if it’s closed source and handles sensitive data, don’t touch it.

coldcard incident t+1. btc is holding up at 63k. really incredible. take note of that. this is far worse than an exchange hack.

if you’re planning to self custody your bitcoin, roll that fucking dice and don’t outsource your entropy.

diamond balls stacking silently is all i need to know.
