bitcoin doesn't have "layers". It has transactions that you broadcast and transactions that you have a better reason not to broadcast

I'm finding myself intuitively opening nostr note than twitter lately

you will interactively sign your yearly provisioned LN channel in a timeout tree, through your always connected home node, and you will be happy regardless of any soft forks, life finds a way

cryptography can never truly replace trust. what it can do is push it as far to the edges as possible, and that's huge. because trust at the edges is truly practical

is it even possible to log back into your ubuntu after a few days without it insisting that you must restart or the world will end?

not only liquidity constraints in realistically practical 2nd layer bitcoin (LN, Ark, ToT) isn’t a “ux problem”, it might be the only way that makes sense from a TANSTAAFL perspective translating the pain of block size limit into the pain of funding the time value of money of illiquid inbound capacity is a great bargain. dormant HODL coins are a much larger resource than blocks space there are no silver bullets. no magical 2-way pegs. all magical solutions are no different from a block size increase from an economic standpoint. a magical scaling solution without pain isn’t trading-off any comfort, which indirectly means no fees

twitter is practically divided into 1000s of different twitters yet they’ll say nostr is not scalable because it doesn’t have a global state.. when was the last time you “explored” twitter? maybe the global state is the problem to begin with?

i met a real life person today who knows about nostr

PWAs are cool

AI isn't boosting productivity unless it creates people more time and leverage to solve issues in the real world, like energy. it might lead to that but it's not the productivity gain by itself helping people build faster saas products is marginal at best printing books also wasn't a direct productivity boost but it did accelerated industrialization, so AI is still promising in this regard, but writing faster code to handle saas isn't what leads humanity forward and won't be visible in GDP any time soon the actual breakthroughs are still pending

there’s no “trade-off” between sound money and personal sovereignty. don’t be gaslit
