The more I think about it, @jack has a point with the Bits/Bitcoins/Sats argument. The unit bias scares off a lot of vulnerable people who would otherwise most need Bitcoin. It keeps things abstract, distant, and unobtainable. It obfuscates the fractional nature of Bitcoin and its use as money even for the smallest of purchases.

I've been so busy lately it's been impossible for me to write and nearly impossible to read. It's been a good kind of busy, but I hope things calm down soon.

As much fun as NGU is, I find the conversations much more interesting when the number goes down.

#Microsoft putting "Ask #Copilot" above "Copy" when you right click in #Outlook has me feeling a certain kind of way

If you use your own #node for transactions... Do you still pay fees??

Something that has always bothered me is how quickly art is forgotten. It was a big inspiration for my WIP novel, the fear of forgetting.

It took me a while to get the hang of this, but I actually really like Nostr. I was reflecting this morning about how I first heard about Bitcoin in 2014 via some #gaming news (hackers installed a BTC miner on a Far Cry 4 server IIRC). It took me over 10 years before I finally bought some. For the longest time I hated Bitcoin because it drove up the prices on my gaming PC parts. I didn't understand the tech or my need for it, but in a weird way the overpriced parts slowly pushed me away from gaming addiction and toward #FOSS. Without spending years studying/using #opensource software (and being really poor) I never would have found the "need" for BTC. I have the need now for sure. Hopefully I can get in earlier on the Nostr goldrush!

I used the built-in AI chatbot in an app and it actually answered my question

The devil entered the man who controlled the money box

I think within 1 generation most Hollywood movies will be completely incomprehensible to most people.

I have not been writing or reading much lately because I am in love. I never realized how much time being in love takes, and I'm very okay with it.
