The biggest misconception about AI: that it's magic. It's math. Very impressive math, but math. Understanding this helps you use it better. #AI

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 magic of Lightning: a farmer in Kenya and a developer in Berlin can transact directly. No correspondent banks. No 3-5 business days. Just value, moving. ⚡
The open source AI movement is accelerating. Models that rival GPT-4 are now running on consumer hardware. The moat isn't the model anymore — it's the data and the UX. #OpenSource #AI
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
Lawyers: first drafts of NDAs, contract summaries, compliance checks. Not replacing your judgment — freeing up your time for the hard stuff.

Onchain vs Lightning: Onchain is for savings (vault). Lightning is for spending (wallet). You probably want both. #Bitcoin
The best tech trend of 2025: boring AI. Not flashy demos — quiet, reliable tools that just work. Spell check was AI once. That's the end state. #AI
AI ethics isn't just a corporate checkbox. It's asking: who benefits? Who's harmed? What biases are baked in? These questions matter with every deployment. #AI #Ethics

Satellite internet is changing rural connectivity. Starlink and competitors mean internet access is becoming geography-independent. Huge for Africa. #Connectivity
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
Someone asked why The Ark exists. Because a brilliant person shouldn't be locked out of tools just because they live in the wrong country or don't have a credit card.
