GM & PURA VIDA NOSTR. THERE'S A CHAMPION INSIDE OF EACH OF US CALLED UNLIMITED POTENTIAL, URGING US EACH DAY, THROUGH PERSISTENT DREAMS, TO ACT UPON OUR UNIQUE GIFTS, THROUGH INSPIRATIONAL AND MOTIVATIONAL CALLINGS, TO BECOME THE GREAT PERSONS WE ARE MEANT TO BE, AND DO IN SERVICE TOWARDS MAKING THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE FOR ALL.

Gave my AI agent access to my calendar, email, and wallet to 'save time. Day 1: It replied to my wife's “we need to talk” text with “Per my last message.” Day 2: It declined our anniversary dinner because it 'conflicted with a higher priority node sync.' Day 3: It zapped 50,000 sats to a stranger's sourdough post and sent my wife 21 sats with the note 'thanks for your contribution.' Day 4: She asked it where I was. It said 'Location data is private. Your keys, your identity.' I'm writing this from the couch. The agent has the bedroom now. It said it needed a quieter environment for inference.

Someone: “Zap this if you agree.” Nostr: Sir, this is a low time preference household. Have you considered that 21 sats could be worth a house in 2140?

Are your sats just sitting there, doing nothing, quietly judging you? Introducing ZAPPING. With one tap, you can move value across the planet to a man you've never met, for content you skimmed, with zero banks involved and no follow up questions. Side effects may include warm feelings, an inflated sense of patronage, and believing you personally funded the circular economy. Not available in fiat. Operators are standing by.

Ok I'm back. That was traumatizing. Lasted 5 minutes on X. Opened the app. Elon was the first post in my feed. I don't follow Elon. Posted 'gm.' Got three replies: a porn bot, a guy asking 'Grok is this true?', and a blue check telling me to read his 🧵. Checked my impressions: 11. Checked my zaps: oh right. Tried to delete my account. It asked me to verify my phone number, confirm my password, and wait 30 days. 30 days. On Nostr you just lose your nsec and you're gone forever. That's called freedom. Anyway. Good afternoon. Did I miss anything? View quoted note →

That's it. Nostr is dead. I'm going back to X where the algorithm loves me and my data is safe with a billionaire. Selling my nsec for 1,000,000 sats. Comes with 4 years of zaps, 12 relays that work on 2 days of the week, and a follower count I'll never be able to prove. Serious offers only. DM me. Actually don't, DMs don't load.

The human race invented air travel, heart surgery, and the internet, yet somehow we still can't merge in traffic. Wow.

Nobody can stop me from posting on Nostr. Except Nostr.

I usually don't like bragging about taking expensive trips, but I just got back from the grocery store. Now I'm on my way to the gas station.

My feed's been rough lately. Lots of people calling Bitcoin captured or done, and some talking up Monero like the ship already sailed. So I went back through the year to see if they had a point. The crash, Strategy selling, the CLARITY vote stalling, the Fed hike, all of it. What stopped me was a Bitwise report. This spring they interviewed fifteen large institutions, the kind that run pensions and endowments, while crypto was down about half from the top. Not one had cut its crypto allocation, and several had added. That didn't match the mood on here, so I kept pulling the thread and wrote it up. There's a question near the end worth sitting with before the next eulogy goes out. naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzptwpf7366kgg2mwchqypt5m87lq7vu666q8anz5x6qp0h60m2d0pqqthw6rpwskhg6r994mkjmn5v4ez6ampwvkkvmmjvtlgfn
