Creating powerful AI prompts is a modern craft, reminiscent of ancient times when magicians and wise men formulated potions and secret recipes to serve those in need.😉

I engage with my AI assistants on a consistent basis Monday through Friday, starting right after morning exercise and continuing until around 5 PM when I have my whiskey. I stop all food intake after 7:00 PM. A similar setup applies on weekends, though with a greater emphasis on personal matters and Stoic 'mind vitamins.' Throughout the entire week—including weekends—I maintain a Stoic mindset every single day.

Stablecoins are private money. There’s nothing wrong with that

The goal is to grow more sovereign and more sage-like. The reality is that you will never achieve complete sovereignty or become a sage.

Every legacy bank app will provide the ability to send and receive fiat stable coins and soon fiat stable coins on bitcoin lightning layer. That will be the trick!

The labor market isn't as dire as the headlines suggest—US layoffs are still at or below pre-pandemic levels, even as AI gets blamed for everything. The real story isn't collapse, but concentration.

OpenAI just announced that ChatGPT can now fill out scanned or photographed paper forms — basically automating the last major holdout of analog bureaucracy. It can read government docs, insurance forms, tax paperwork, etc., understand the fields, and complete them intelligently based on the context you give it. This kills the old pain of manually filling out quirky, non-standard forms. OCR was never enough — it could read text but not grasp intent. Vision LLMs actually understand what the form is asking for. Big implications: - Auto-filled medical intake forms - Government paperwork without copying the same info 20 times - Faster business compliance - Even non-English forms (translated + filled) Downside: Privacy risks when uploading sensitive documents to commercial AI. For Bitcoiners: AI is devouring white-collar busywork at an accelerating pace. The jobs that survive will be those that need real judgment, not just form-filling. Stack sats and stack skills. ⚡

🇺🇸 US Congressman Mike Rulli says "there will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin." "While governments can print unlimited amounts of money, Bitcoin's supply is permanently fixed." Mathematics cannot be hidden, argued against, or denied.

Bitcoin, sound money and sound minds will progress one funeral at a time. Memento Mori, so Memento Vivere.

Energy is the currency of the universe. Time is its ultimate scarcity. Bitcoin is sound money — forged from both.

"If your money isn't sound, it is not reflecting any proof of work. It is not reflecting anything about who should be able to consume, or how much there is available to consume. It's just being corrupted, it's being defrauded, so that certain people get bad price signals. And this will incentivize them and everyone else to literally make economic decisions that appear to be economically profitable, that are actually destroying the society."~ Guy Swann Why is it that 5,000 years of human civilization built monuments and railroads and cathedrals – and we built WeWork and Quibi? Wyatt's case for a return to proof of work in the real economy, then push it further: sound money isn't just nice to have. Without it, the market doesn't break – it never emerges in the first place. And when it loses that property, society rots until it dies. Article: The Bitcoinization of Finance

"It is not markets that made money possible. It is collectibles, which we now call money, that make markets possible."~ Nick Szabo What if the conventional story of money’s origins is completely backwards? In his first major article in nearly a decade, Nick Szabo weaves a tale of a stolen canoe, a bitter tribal feud, and strings of shells — and uses it to overturn one of economics’ most persistent myths. Did money really evolve from barter… or did it arise from something far older, and far more human? Article: The Fabric of Desires

"They say the ruler is bent, then use the bent ruler to measure the table. They say the clock is broken, then solemnly read out the hour. They say the instrument is false, then ask it, with perfect seriousness, for one final certification. This is, in itself, a form of bondage. To measure gold in fiat terms is, in Jung’s sense, to deny the shadow: to denounce the paper system in public while continuing, in private, to let it decide what counts as value." ~ Craig Tindale 1 BTC = 1 BTC. If fiat is broken, why do we still let it dictate the worth of gold or Bitcoin? Craig Tindale argues that even the fiercest rebels against fiat remain trapped in its grammar — pricing their escape in the very units they claim to reject. But is it really possible to step outside the fiat frame, or does the nature of price itself keep us entangled in ways Bitcoiners haven’t fully confronted? Article: Stepping Outside the Fiat Frame

Daemon Tools Hit by Suspected Chinese Supply Chain Attack, Kaspersky Says

Daemon Tools Backdoor: Kaspersky Flags Supply Chain Attack - Technology Org

Kaspersky says a backdoor planted in Daemon Tools is hitting thousands of Windows PCs, with a Chinese-speaking group linked to the attack.

The Daemon Tools backdoor came straight from the official website, digitally signed with the developer’s own certificate. It looked and behaved exactly like a legitimate installer — no shady links, no warnings, nothing to raise suspicion. That’s what makes supply chain attacks so insidious compared to phishing: you did everything right and still got compromised. The real question isn’t what you’re about to install next. It’s what’s already running on your machine. That software you installed months ago and forgot about, those tools that launch at startup, the apps you granted permissions to without reading the fine print — any one of them could have been silently updated with malicious code. When was the last time you actually audited what’s running on your devices?
