Why you need peer to peer communications, and peer to peer money? Imagine this: You are cut off: - Youtube - Gmail - Linkedin - Facebook - Twitter - Tiktok - Signal - Whatsapp And Gmail ! Everything. You are cut off. For a week. A Month. Lets say a year. Are you with me? In another story I tell you why it happened and how it happened. But stay with me. - What would you do? - How would you survive? - How would you communicate? At work? In your business? With your family? The answer: Peer to peer! You just open an unstoppable app on your computer or on your phone. And you chat, see them, send files to them, send money to them. Unstoppable. Nobody can stop you. That is peer to peer. Let me know your thoughts below. Storyteller

Just dropped a peer to peer chat app on Github. What it does is: - if you are 10.000 kms away for a peer you can just chat - without any servers - unstoppable - peer to peer Instructions inside the README file. PS: you need to be a javascrip programmer to run this code.

Tip: If you can print it it has no value. The day I created an ERC20 smart contract with a storyteller coin STR and I created 100 trillion of that coin in just 3 min and was able to give everybody in my country 10 million of that STR coin and make them instant millionaires in STR coins I became a Bitcoiner. It sank into me right away what Bitcoin is and what crypto is. And I stopped talking BS about Bitcoin.

⏰⌚️⏳⏳🕰️🕛 The Time Machine of Fiat Currency My father used to work for 100 USD a day 20 years ago. 8 hours, 100 USD. He gave me 100 USD 20 years ago. He had a friend, John, and John also had 100 Dollars. John gave his daughter a golden coin 20 Years ago. Lets assume that that golden coin was 100 dollars 20 years ago. Enter the time machine. Imagine both men had a time machine, travelling 20 years in the future. Imagine my father putting the 100 USD in his time machine and it arriving today. I pick up the 100 USD. How much value did I get? Is this the same 100 USD? Yes. But can I BUY the same amount if stuff with it? No! Why not? Because they printed Trillions more of it. That’s why it’s purchasing power decreased. The purchasing “power” or energy leaked. My father worked 8 hours to get that 100 USD but his time didn’t make it. With the rule of 72 you can calculate that if they created 7% more dollars every year, that in 72/7% = 10 years, half of the purchasing power leaked. The US dollar leaked purchasing power. It leaked half of my father’s 8 hours. So after 10 years in the time machine only 50 dollars of purchasing power arrived or 4 hours of my father. After another 10 years again half of my father’s time leaked. Or 25 dollars our of the 100 dollars of my father. After 20 years I his son opened the Time machine of my father and picked up the 100 USD . I only got 25 USD in purchasing power or 2 hours of my father’s work. You see: by printing fiat currency at the rate of 7% per year… they stole 6 hours of my father or 75 USD. Now imagine the friend of my father who converted his 8 hours of work into a golden coin and gave it to his daughter. During 20 years the amount if gold has only increased with 1.5% per year. 72/1,5 = 48. It will take 48 years until the golden coin’s purchasing power decreases by half. So after 20 years there is still some time in that time machine for that daughter. The daughter can pick up the golden coin and spend maybe 7 hours of her father. Gold doesn’t leak time. Or energy. Why? Because they cannot print it like they want. It costs energy to “print gold”. It costs energy to produce gold. And they cannot produce it at a rate of say 7% per year like they have been doing with US dollars (= fiat currency). Now I give that 100 dollar of my father, worth 25 dollars to YOU. You give it to your son or daughter in 20 years. You also have a time machine. You also can travel to the time machine. That traveling is called “Saving”. Yes, when you save that is exactly what you are doing. Saving is using a time machine. How much of that 25 USD ( remember the bill still says 100 USD, but we know that it’s purchasing power is really 25 USD and it’s decrease of value is USD 75), how much will your sun reveive in 20 years? How much of the 2 hours of my father’s time? 6.25 dollars or 50 cents!!! Remember every 10 years the value is cut by half. 25> 12.5 in 10 years (or 2 hours > 1 hour in 10 years) And 12.5 > 6.25 in another 20 years (or 1 hour >0.5 dollar in 10 years) Enter Bitcoin If in 2014 I had jumped in that time machine and picked up that 100 USD, which was maybe 50 usd in purchasing power amd bought Bitcoins with it. How much purchasing power would I have had now? How much hours of my father (4 hours left when I opened that time machine) would I have “created”? You see: bitcoin is a FIXED supply. They cannot create it at 7% per year! They create it at a decreasing pace. First we could create it at 50 per 10 min. After 4 years at 25 per 10 min. Then at 12.5 per 10 min. Then at 6.25 per 10 min. It is harder to create Bitcoin every 4 years! So unlike the US dollar it is harder to steal your energy every 4 years. It gets 50% HARDER to steal your energy every 4 years. Or technically your purchasing power DOUBLES every 4 years. Or your time DOUBLES every 4 years. So if I picked my father’s 100 USD after 10 years and it was worth 50 USD or 4 hours, and changed it into Bitcoin, I would have STOPPED the decrease of his time. I would have gotten 8 hours back after 10 years. So now I got 8 hours of my father. And if I give it to my son he would have 16 hours in 4 years. 32 hours in 8 years. Because Bitcoin becomes scarcer while they print more US dollars. I’m not speculating about the doubling of Bitcoin’s value after each 4 years. Do your own research. Don’t trust me. But Bitcoin has this feature of being capped at 21 million. So it can stop the leakage if your time. It is scarcer than gold. It is programmed like that. Bitcoin can hold your value accross time.

💵💵💵💻💻 Fractional reserve banking versus Full reserve banking Fractional reserve banking = you don’t need to spend any energy to create value Full reserve banking = you need to spend a lot of energy to create value. Fractional reserve banking ==> you can create value without spending energy and you can steal all the time people put into creating real stuff. Full reserve banking ==> you need to spend a lot of energy and you cannot steal people’s time they put in creating real stuff. It is about stealing your time. It is not about fiat currency. The fiat currency is just a sleight of hands and sleight of words to disguise what is really happening. If I can create fiat currency out if thin air and it took you 365 days to build your house, I can steal your 365 days of work. I can steal your TIME. Time is all you got. Time is the ultimate value.

How can you use python to learn fast from interesting Youtube interviews: my step-by-step process Hey if you know python, or you are interested in knowing what you can do with "programming" and why you should learn it, here is my path. I also show you how to use AI to speed up your growth **Video Captions** You know that there are video captions below a lot of the videos on Youtube right? Look at this video where Michael Saylor is talking with Natalie Brunell. First there is a python library (that is just a piece of open source code) that you can download these captions. You just need the video url and the video code and this library helps you download the captions and you save it in your folder. **What you need** For this you of course need to know a bit of python and you need a tool like Anaconda environment to be able to do this on your computer. Anaconda is here: But if you do not have Anaconda and you have gmail you can also do this in a Google Colab. See here And for python you would need to know pandas, how to create a function, you need to know how to ask questions on Stackoverflow.com . https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/python. This is the community who can help you solve problems with your code. **What can you do when you have downloaded these captions on your computer?** A. You can first read this transcript and understand how Saylor describes what is happening. You can learn a lot about this. You want to try to understand what key terms he uses. Like demand, duration, assets etc. Even if you read this and understand how he thinks this will help you think for yourself about global macro. That is how I use it. **Analyze it with Artificial intelligence.** Now this is going to step up your game. I discovered a language model called Spacy. Why would you need this? Now I use it to analyze the transcripts. I coded this in python and I'm using Spacy to analyze the transcript of the video. Imagine having an assistant that marks all the companies mentioned in the transcript, or all the people, or every time Michael and Natalie mentioned a number, or when they mentioned "increase" or "decrease". Or when they mentioned a company!! This happens in less then 10 seconds!! For a video of 1 hour!!! Which human assistant can do that!! That is exactly what I do with Spacy. I'm just starting with it and I'm thrilled. What you can do is convert the whole text of the transcript into a html document (a website on your computer) where you see all the "people" mentioned in the transcript say in green and the numbers in red, and the times in orange. Why would you want this? Because now you can scan very fast into the document. You can get a list of all the companies he is talking about. And all the indicators etc. **How can you use this?** Imagine you want to know what to invest in, apart from Bitcoin. Every time Michael in this case mentioned a company, you can analyze what he says about it. Every time he talks about an asset like a bond, you can look in the text and see what he says about it. **Scaling this up** Imagine you have a list of youtube videos of Michael, of other bitcoiners and they are talking. You can create python code that automates getting this information and you get a colored html document including persons, companies etc. If you are an investor or you are an individual and you want to know how to synthesize this information available you can now sit back and the code is doing it for you. We could do this for other sources also. When there is a python library that can scan nostr, habla.news etc and get the information you could be able to use Spacy etc and other language models to help you understand the world around you. I'm using it to monitor Global Macro economics discussions and great talks. So let me know: Are you working with python? Do you want to start using python for data science and analysis? What kinds of sources do you see with great content in text or video so you can learn about bitcoin and economics? How do you learn? How can we improve this workflow to work for the bitcoin world, used on great decentralized publishers built on nostr and bitcoin? Hopefully you got some value in this process and workflow. Story teller Always great to receive some stats if you found value in this post

Nostr for Linkedin: is it possible? Nostr is an open communication protocol. Linkedin is a closed system to share your career history. People should own their data. How could Nostr help people show their skills to the world? I guess we could use Nostr to show our resume. To show about projects we worked on. But we need to be able to only show certain people we want our data. If you are a potential customer I should be able to give you access to some of my projects I worked on. Then you would ask if those projects were real. I should be able to show you proof of work. Maybe other Nostr users that can prove that I did work for them. They signed a message stating that I did the work well. Then you need proof of my certifications. If I say I studied at this university you need proof of work from me that I got that degree. But Nostr cannot be just a copy of Linkedin. It should be different. It should add more. How different should it be? I stopped logging into my Linkedin. Because Linkedin has become just like Facebook. People posting stuff all day that are not related to their careers. I stopped all notifications. People posting videos just to get attention and more traffic and more followers don’t interest me. So I don’t want more spammy posts to attract my attention. To stay on the system. I like the courses on Linkedin. There is content and I can learn. So if I could join some “course spaces” on Nostr, where I can learn about a specific topic I would pay SATS. I would join. I like some of the groups on Linkedin. If Nostr gave me some groups to join I would join. But I do not want people to spam me in groups. So if you want to spamm me with a lot of clickbait so I enter your funnel you should pay me SATS. Just pay me to consume your content and I will give you my attention. My attention is not free. I have limited time. I got a box of 233.600 hours. Limited time. So you have to pay if you want some of my attention. As a business owner I’m looking for leads. I can’t deny it. So if there is a way to get a list of qualified leads I would buy it. Imagine I could meet 100 top CEOs of that need an online project management tool I’m promoting. And I could send them a video of me showing how I could help them. I would pay for that. To do that now on Linkedin you have to buy an extra subscription for Linkedin. And those 100 CEOs that you can market did not ask for that. So having a list of people who have identified themselves that they want certain content - e.g. online project management services - is great. How could that be implemented in Nostr? What about: if you want to send me some info about online project management services YOU pay me some SATS??? So if you want to BUY my attention YOU pay me sats. If it is a short video of 5 min, my price is 1000 sats. If it is a video of 25 minutes my price is 5000 sats. You now need a marketing budget in SATS to market me. Would that work? Would a seller’s market for attention (we all sell attention) - eg our 233.600 hours - work? Btw: how I calculated the hours is just by multiplying 365 by 16 (the effective number of hours awake per day) and the number of years I expect/hope to live. It could be less. So because we have Lightning working on Nostr, we could put a price on attention and monetize our attention. Going more in detail about how it would work: 1. You choose a list of topics you want to be pitched about 2. You choose your price per minute of your attention in SATS 3. You post your prices on top of your profile 4. People pay the SATS and send your the info 5. The moment you consume the content you start earning sats. 6. You might have to prove you have a certain amount of SATS to buy some services. E.g. my price per minute for my attention on project management services is 1000 SATS but if you get my attention and I like your stuff in your funnel now I have 10.000 SATS I want to spend on online project management services. 7. So there is a transparant market of services and maybe goods I want to buy and I have my attention price per minute fir all goods and services I want to consume. I think this would work. You pay for information. You pay for people’s attention. And you get rewarded in SATS when people buy. Everybody gets paid. You get paid for what you contribute. Now let me ask you this: Would you put your content, on an open platform like that? Would you put your attention price in SATS on a platform like that? Would you want to get paid for your attention on a platform like that? Let me know your content. And if you know any Nostr developer that can tell me if it is possible to create this let me know. Thanks for your attention. Where can I send the SATS to?
