what if nostr was built for humans but actually comes to be a AI agent networking infrastructure. it's always hard to know what to zap---21 sats seems small...100 sats too large. AI agents don't care: if they need real-time oracle data, they'll just pay the fee. AI agents might find Web-of-trust useful too for interacting with each other. maybe they'll pay us Satoshis to run sensors on relays about real world stuff. like thermometers and rain gauges. or who won last night's football game.

Cathie designing a S0l4n4 & eth3reum competitor? Cathie Wood mentioned she signed on to the board of "Layer 0" that's developing an "ecosystem" that can handle 2-4 million transactions per second for the agentic AI world. i don't quite get it. is someone swindling her?

In addition to the question on everyone's tongue "Is SAAS dead" the Ark crew also took on the DATpocalypse and threw some shade: Brett acknowledged Strategy's "structure seems a little wonky" Nick compared Strategy to the ill-fated Investors' Trusts of the 1920s. I respectfully disagree with the ARK crew. I submit to them the comparison of Strategy to Investors' Syndicate of America and their face-amount certificates from 1894.

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1914-E-8th-St-Austin-TX-78702/29385253_zpid/ it's been a while since i've gloated at the real estate market. however, they tell on how bad an investment this is in the first sentence: "Exceptional Short-Term Cash Cow Investment in the Heart of Austin, Featuring Downtown Views. Nearly 100k in reservations in place for the first half of 2026!" ok 100,000 x 2 =$200,000 for whole year on for ~2 million invested. then they have to pay cleaning, maintenance, booking, property taxes, property tax: $2000 per month maintenance: $1000 per month cleaning + yard: 1000 per month if they are lucky they will get 150,000 a year for dealing with bookings from crazy wedding parties, broken pool equipment, jammed toilets. etc. after all that trouble, they get appreciation of (already expensive ) property in popular US city, headquarters of many SAAS companies. they should just buy $STRK and get property on main street of the digital universe + effective yield of 10% that is tax-free for the first 10 years. for $2,000,000 they would get 25,000 $strk shares which entails 2,500 Strategy shares + a tax free dividend of 8/(78-133.8/10) = 12.38% they would earn $205,200 with NO maintenance, tax, broken toilets, etc & get the price appreciation of 2,500 Strategy shares. i'm not a financial advisor so this is probably risky to have all your money in one bucket like $STRK or is all the money of a potential buyer of this property going into one very risky asset like real estate!
