“Directly Competing With Open Source Is a Losing Proposition”
“While our models still hold a slight edge in terms of quality, the gap is closing astonishingly quickly.

And they are doing so in weeks, not months.”

How do you sign-in to a Nostr website?

i’ve never identified with the term “bitcoin maximalist”
maybe you could call me a “technology maximalist” and bitcoin is the best money technology I’ve seen
but i’m an enthusiastic proponent of the continued development of a lot of new/different technologies
if you think you’ve invented a better money, i’ll admit it’s a very high threshold to pique my interest.
so along which axis do you think you’ve got bitcoin beat?
