Trump's Clarity law is ded and Germany will begin taxing crypto like shares, rather than like gold. Borrowing costs are up and gold and real estate is down. Looks like the boom is over.

Paying almost exactly €1000/year for electricity for a family of 4-6 adults (depending upon who is currently living with us). Solar panels are barely worth it, at that rate, but definitely worth it if we add air conditioning and an e-auto. 🤔

I put my Brainstorm score quite high and now I am finding some of my favorite npubs below the fold and feel like I need to actually finally give them a follow instead of just stumbling over their stuff in the threads. So, to my new follows: Congratulations on your new, higher Brainstorm score. 🫡

**Your money shouldn't be work. Your money should be where you store your work.** I am not going to babysit my cash all day to see if it gets hacked or rugged. Fuck that noise, man. And I'm sick of the mantra that it's totally okay to keep small bits of money in that wallet but not more than that cuz it might disappear. #wearesoearly. Small amounts of money _also_ shouldn't disappear. I am not going to put more of my money someplace that it is likely to disappear from. That is why I am trying to get out of the banking system, ffs. This is supposed to be the place I can put it, that it _won't_ disappear from! I've been at the forefront of the Lightning, Cashu, Nutzap, whatthefuckevah experiments for 4 years, and I am tired, boss.

PoW minimum 20, please.

If you can use AI to build video games, that makes it military-grade. They aren't pausing the building. They're pausing the releases.

Someone got me to finally look at the Monero price chart and now I feel more late than early. 😂 I always feel early, but I am always actually late.

Y'all don't seem to care if I am wearing makeup and am all gussied up, or not. Your favorite pics are me looking like I just got done vacuum-cleaning the floors. I can't decide if this is good or bad.

...that #cordn and #outbox bring Nostr closest to a P2P protocol so far. They both relegate relays to hops, rather than hubs.

What frustrates me most about Nostr is how much some **developers just don't care about what kinds content creators actually publish**. Our stuff drops off the timelines, and people's threads and feeds get thinner and thinner, but the devs don't respond by including the new kinds because they're only here to kind-1-shout-out at their fan club once per day or week or month, and then they go back to talking to their agents and collecting their monies. Those devs aren't scrolling the feed or responding in threads, my frens. They don't notice that our stuff disappears and -- what is more -- they don't give a damn.

Just me, totally exhausted and relaxed, after getting rained on for 3 hours. 🥾🌦️ No makeup, frizzy hair, hiking outfit. Whatever. GM.

Is Primal in maintenance mode? That whole project got weirdly quiet.

Lightning and Monero make sense for tips (and zaps), as they're both relatively private. On-chain Bitcoin zaps just don't really make sense to me, as it's a public ledger, and tipping is fiddly because silent payments aren't in widespread use. Zaps, in general, just don't really make sense to me because I tip too much money to want anyone to keep track of it and people microzapping me should just keep the change. This is just where I am at right now.

OpenAI delaying IPO until 2027.

It's funny how the society went from everyone being obsessed with sex to everyone being indifferent to it.

Man, I have been missing attending Mass at my village church. Been at Mass all over the place, all summer. That is so nice. 🤩

Like I been saying. May the best money win. View quoted note → (The best money better be Bitcoin because that's the only one I have more of than homeopathic amounts and I don't want to be both old and poor. Getting old is hard enough, fr fr no cap.)

The clickbait title isn't just clickbait.
