Long is the way and hard, that out of Hell leads up to the light.

As we get older, it becomes harder to be moved — not because of age, but because of everything we’ve seen. And yet, in some strange way, it also becomes easier — not just because of age, but because of what we’ve come to understand. Years ago, a few of us from different parts of the world found each other by chance. And somehow, we’ve just kept going. The late nights, the intensity, the hoarse voices echoing through those startup tech parks — a lot of that is gone now. But in its place, there’s something warmer. Something more real. I used to teach sales management, and I always said that sincerity was the foundation of a good salesperson. But the further I go in life, the more I realize how rare it really is — sincere people, sincere hearts, sincere words. Rare as gold. Maybe the problem is me. Maybe the way I see the world has changed. Still, I think people who can feel warmth are lucky. Even if it only lasts for a moment. I find myself craving those warm words. Wanting to reach out and touch the sincerity inside them — even if just for a little while. image

After trying many decentralized options, I have to admit, reluctantly, that Google Meet still handles 70+ participant workshops better. Not ideal, but for onboarding and Newcomer 101, it’s the practical choice for now. #bitcoin ##nostr image

I recently spent fifteen minutes reading a widely shared article about AI, and the feeling it left me with was not excitement but quiet surprise. The pace of progress seems to have moved far beyond what I thought I could comfortably understand. This feeling is strange, because I use AI tools every day. I am not an outsider looking in. Yet even as an active participant, I often feel that the landscape shifts faster than my ability to map it. What changes is not only the technology itself, but also the way it constantly redefines what it means to be informed, productive, or even creative. Some people compare the sudden rise of AI to the global disruption we experienced five years ago. The comparison makes sense on the surface, but I suspect the consequences may be deeper and longer-lasting. That earlier shock changed how we live. AI may change how we think. I often find myself thinking about a historical example from the Maya civilization. Archaeological findings suggest that the Maya understood the principle of the wheel, and wheeled toys have been discovered that clearly demonstrate this knowledge. Yet the wheel never evolved into a transportation system in their society. This was not because they lacked intelligence or imagination, but because their environment, geography, and social structure did not demand it. That idea feels surprisingly relevant today. Technology does not transform civilization simply because it exists. Transformation happens when the surrounding world is ready to absorb it, when conditions align so that adoption becomes inevitable. So where does that leave us now? Are we moving toward a future that looks like science fiction, where automated systems quietly deliver everything we need and friction disappears from daily life? Or will the overwhelming flow of information push us in the opposite direction, toward simplicity, slower systems, and a renewed appreciation for limits? I do not pretend to know the answer. What feels clear, however, is that continuing to experiment with new tools every day is probably the right instinct. The challenge is no longer access. Knowledge itself may become abundant, even free. If that happens, the real scarcity will shift elsewhere. What will matter most is not information, but the quality of its source. And perhaps even more importantly, our ability to distinguish signal from noise. In that sense, the future may not be defined by who has the most knowledge, but by who knows where to trust it. image

Driving new user adoption takes time, repetition, patience, and persistence. Yet the long-term benefits to the entire ecosystem are significant. ##nostr 101 @YakiHonne

We launched YakiHonne on Reddit yesterday. First video hit 3k views—then the account was suddenly suspended, no reason given.🤣 As the proverb says: “You only feel the whip when it hits your own back—by then it’s too late.” That’s why #decentralization matters. On #Nostr #YakiHonne, this will never happen.🤙 image

Great conversation, thanks to @Jerry 🫂 The interview revisited the journey from discovering Bitcoin more than a decade ago to witnessing together the growth of YakiHonne over the past four years. Each time we reflect on the challenges and rewards of the past, it only strengthens our resolve to keep moving forward. Long is the road, yet it leads ever toward the light. View quoted note →
