I'll do a write up tomorrow

Would love to say it was an original thought but I remember talking with @Alex B. at the Riga conf who told me that apparently some bitcoin OG was already blogging about this in like 2012 or something View quoted note →

Really excited about @nostroots ! I’ve been saying for a while now that someone should make couchsurfing on nostr…Couchsurfing around 2010 was like the greatest thing ever, and it was such a tragedy when the admins sold out and rugged everyone who had built up connections. Building it on nostr is a great use case showing how we can preserve social capital. View quoted note →

Just fixed an extremely subtle bug on Satellite CDN caused by cache settings. The blossom /list endpoint would sometimes return metadata for files that were deleted. Thanks to @florian for helping me discover this!

I can see the northern lights from California right now

Seems like privacy is upstream of fungibility

Suppose as a thought experiment that the price of energy fell by a factor of one thousand. What would happen to the price of gold? What would happen to the price of Bitcoin?

That would be so cool if there was an AI inside your laptop that you could grant keyboard/mouse control to and that you could communicate with verbally, and it would understand what you were asking it to do in context of what was currently on the screen. Basically like you're always screen sharing with your AI helper. Since it would have access to everything this would probably only be workable if you were running locally or self hosting. In any case I wouldn't be surprised if UX converges on something like this in the near(ish) future

You didn’t come into this world, you came out of it

It seems like everything is always falling apart because everything *is* always falling apart. What’s less obvious is that everything is also always coming into being. Death is just more obvious than birth. We notice the absence of things we were used to more than the presence of things we weren’t, and this creates the perceptual bias that the world is out of balance.

Facing resistance is a signal you’re solving the right problem View quoted note →

Years ago I bought into the idea that deflationary currency was unworkable because it would make raising capital too hard—that inflationary money was a necessary evil because to do otherwise would be to set a floor on interest rates equal to the real purchasing power accrued simply by holding the currency. I would guess that this remains the number one misconception among informed, intellectually honest critics of bitcoin.
