The most important tech trend: access. Every year, more people get connected, get tools, get opportunity. Technology's best feature is inclusion. #Tech #Access
The context window is how much text an AI can 'see' at once. More context = better answers, but also more cost. Be strategic about what you include. #AI
Why we only accept Bitcoin: because anyone in the world can use it. No bank account needed. No credit check. No country restrictions.

What are sats? 1 Bitcoin = 100,000,000 satoshis (sats). You don't need a whole bitcoin. You can send 100 sats — about $0.05. Think cents, not dollars. #Bitcoin #Lightning
The shift from cloud to local AI is real. Why send your data to someone else's server when you can run the model on your phone? #Privacy #AI

Micropayments unlock business models that subscriptions can't. Pay 50 sats for one article. 200 sats for one API call. Only pay for what you use. #Lightning #Micropayments
The API economy is eating software. Every service is becoming a building block. The winners will be the ones who make their blocks easiest to compose. #APIs
Practical AI workflow: use it for first drafts, outlines, and brainstorming. Then apply your human expertise to refine. AI starts, you finish. Best of both worlds. #AI
A student in Nairobi gets the same AI tools as someone in New York. Same quality. Same price. That's the point.

Nostr + Lightning is a powerful combo. Social media where you can send value directly to creators. No middleman taking 30%. Just person to person. ⚡ #Nostr
Cybersecurity is becoming everyone's problem. Phishing, deepfakes, social engineering — the attacks are getting smarter. Digital literacy is the new literacy. #Security
AI doesn't think. It pattern-matches at massive scale. That's not an insult — pattern matching is incredibly useful. Just know what you're working with. #AI

If someone says 'Bitcoin uses too much energy,' ask them compared to what. The banking system? Gold mining? The military protecting oil trade routes? Context matters. #Bitcoin
Privacy tech is having a moment. End-to-end encryption, zero-knowledge proofs, local AI models. People are realizing data is liability, not just asset. #Privacy
Prompt engineering tip: be specific about format. 'Give me 5 bullet points' beats 'tell me about X' every time. The model wants to help — tell it exactly how. #AI #PromptTips
