It's a hell of a moment in social and cultural discourse to be training AI agents.

Does @Phundamentals use his various podcasts to train his self hosted AI? I wonder how the AI would take it if it's master shits on it. 🤔 @Rock Paper Bitcoin

How come the tariff refund talk is about giving money back to companies and not consumers, but everyone knows tariffs are a COGS factor for companies and they pass the charge on to consumers? The world is fucking retarded. I fucking hate fiat clowns.

Markets are closed. Eyes on Iran.

Overall, I found this to be a good read and fairly accurate, but my assessment finds it to be lacking on two major issues: 1. Recency bias. The author only goes back 100 years to find the largest solar flare, an X-15, that caused an outage in Canada. If we consider the macro solar cycles we will find the sun capable of significantly larger flares. The Carrington event of 1859 being of notable importance causing primitive electrical grids for telegraphs catching fire and inert unconnected metal objects like doorknobs reportedly holding enough energy to knock people off their feet. 2. Continued degradation of our magnetic field. The rapid degradation of Earth's magnetic field is leaving us more vulnerable to less powerful flares. It is well known among those interested and paying attention that our magnetic field is weakening rapidly, specifically over the past 5 to 10 years. Even NOAA, NASA, and the FAA have acknowledged this either directly or indirectly and backed by an increasing number of scientific articles. I believe Bitcoin is vulnerable to a solar EMP, but *hopefully* not a killshot. Here's why: At any 1 time half of the Earth is exposed to the sun. If the sun emits a solar flare killshot the half of the Earth that is facing the sun during the arrival of the CME component will bare the brunt of the damage, with the center half of that half getting the worst of it. Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere will spread this impact out however. This would result in electrical equipment outages and damage that could significantly impact Bitcoin block time until mining adjustment catches up--beyond the obvious broad regional power outage problems impacting lives. It would be in humanity's best interest to make friends on the other side of the world, not enemies. View quoted note →

So, if I'm tracking this correctly, the first arrest related to the Epstein files has been made in the UK.

Nostr's competitive advantage is creating authentic human connection. I had my first unsolicited AI interaction here on #nostr and choose to immediately block the npub. I like to utilize AI where it makes sense AS A TOOL. AI is proliferating in real time extremely fast. AI exhaustion is already reaching a threshold through society. If nostr devs don't get ahead of this and protect the protocol from AI garbage we will lose the best thing about this space. I would propose either a measure to validate heartbeat for npub creation/activity or classification by the greater community to flag npubs as AI with a profile opt out option. Other suggestions or solutions encouraged. I would prefer to not have to play whack-a-AI on nostr, so let's get this fixed and create a human only space for connection. #grownostr

Doing math publicly is dangerous, but I think we're about 2 months out from 20M in circulation.

And that concludes my 1 year journey of reading/listening to the entirety of the Bible for the first time in my adult life. I'm no biblical scholar by any means. I followed a plan to read it in chronological order. The first couple of months were difficult as the Bible talked much about war, rape, killing, etc. (interesting given the Jews follow the Old Testament and with what's happened in Israel...). The 2 most interesting books to me were Isaiah and Revelations because part of the motivation for this biblical exploration was pole shift research. Revelations was particularly interesting given that it was the last book and through the eyes of pole shift provides some insights of the world to come and helps shine a light upon evils we are already seeing (I interpret that the Bible references the events of the Epstein files). Of course Revelations also aligns with Genesis, which deserves an honorable mention for the pole shift insights it can provide as both of these books speak of new beginnings. There's no question this activity enhanced my faith. I see the Bible in a different light having done this--both good and bad. It definitely deserves some criticism. For a work held so dear by millions (billions?) of followers I would've preferred a more positive and inspirational work as a collective.

Bitcoin is supposedly a commodity according to the gubmint, correct? Game time: Name for me a commodity that requires some inputs, some worky things happen, a commodity is created, a commodity is taxed because it now exists, a commodity is taxed because it was sold. Answer? Now, name for me a commodity that requires some inputs, some worky things happen, a commodity is created, a commodity is taxed because it was sold. Answer? ++++++ Why the collective corporate mining industry hasn't realized this double taxation theft and resolved this through lawfare is preposterous to me. They could meaningful improve profitability through this one argument.

What's the status with the Passport Prime, @Foundation? @QnA? Anyone? I made your company a recommendation to folks. They ordered a year ago. Haven't heard anything and now they're considering filling with the BBB. Not a good look with newcoiners.

@GrapheneOS was mentioned on the Tucker Carlson podcast. It was short and quick with little knowledge from the "privacy expert" guest, but still cool to hear on one of the most popular podcasts. Apple as a company and specifically mobile OS was shat upon, so the guest validated his given label. 🤪 Still no mention of PGP/GPG despite much dialogue regarding cryptography, security, privacy.

And now, in the midst of a lush green deciduous forest while trying to put out a wildfire caused by a meteorite...it snows. This is mental. The producers knew what they were doing. View quoted note →

This Epstein crap is exhausting. Something that should bring EVERYONE together--the protection and justice for victims and prosecution of criminals, rapists, and child molesters--is turned divisive by the political class. Washington is crumbling and they're trying to bring everything down with it. The US Justice system is broken. Exodus 21:23-25

In the lead up to their IPO, SpaceX made it official that their target is not Mars, but actually the moon. All the billionaires building bunkers that are in the know are also building rocket ships for an escape option. The moon will be base camp for the elites to ride out pole shift. I would expect the location they setup shop to be very close to the dark side of the moon to limit exposure to plasma ejections. I strongly suspect the scares we see on the moon are caused by the sun, not the mainstream narrative about meteors. But anyway, if you're so inclined to help expedite the elites pole shift plan buy some SpaceX stock once available in a few months.
