Enjoy the weekend 👌🏻
Lightning nodes growing


The talking chicken down bad
Apparently the IMF is pro bitcoin now (pro shitcoins too as they referenced cRYpTo)
Zaps from Damus not showing on Snort now. Ever since one-tap zaps were released my zaps are hit or miss whether they get through or not. Might go back to old school
A chart of the Bank of England's base rate over the last 70 years shows you how abnormal the last 15 years have been


Hey @Alby it’s be cool to have a notification to tell us that funds are running low. Thanks 🙏
New PFP. Last one was too pretentious

This is sad


Both Decrypt and Cointelegraph are publishing stories about AI. The pivot is real
Google's launched an AI-powered anti-money laundering tool and is trialling it with HSBC. Rather ironic

I know Bitcoin dominance is increasing but given all the news about bitcoin adoption relating to nation states, institutions, HODLRs who continue to buy and will never sell etc, why is Eth even rising when Bitcoin does?

You could remove two thirds of brands in the world and no one would miss them. Obviously it’s a free market (kinda) but it illustrates how peak choice we are.
