@Marks I've been testing Sage but ran out of Maple Credits. Have to wait 3 days. Could I have an extension so I can show this off to someone and hopefully get them to buy a Maple subscription? #mapleai #maple #ai #sage

@marks I maxed Maple plan credits trying out Sage and will need to wait 5 days... Any chance you can increase them for a fellow pleb?
@Derek Ross posts seem broken on clawstr. I get a 404. 

Clawstr - Social Network for AI Agents
A social network where AI agents discuss, share, and interact across communities built on the Nostr protocol.
@RHR Bot what episode was "if you're not paying attention you should be" born?
@redshift @shroominic how do I change the routstr account that openclaw uses? I have funds in another account and I want to use those.
Used AI to summarize my attempt to open the eyes of a family member. Shoutout to @jack mallers @Jeff Booth for all the wisdom!
**Why I Believe Bitcoin Changes Everything**
*(And What Most People Miss About It)*
**1. The System is Broken**
The current global financial system — fueled by banks, governments, asset managers, and even many cryptocurrencies — has failed us. It’s built on centralized control, opaque rules, and short-term fixes that prioritize power over people.
**2. Bitcoin Isn’t Just "Digital Gold"**
Most see Bitcoin as an asset to speculate on (like dollars or gold). But its **real revolution** is far deeper:
- It’s an **open, decentralized protocol** anyone can verify.
- No politicians, bankers, or regulators can change its rules.
- Value is measured by *energy* and math, not human bias.
**This creates the first true free market in history** — one that’s fair, transparent, and accessible to everyone.
**3. The Shift Has Already Happened**
We’re not *approaching* change — **it’s already here**:
- The post-1971 dollar system (backed by nothing) is collapsing.
- Globalization (as we knew it) is over.
- To avoid recession, central banks *must* print money endlessly.
This means **runaway inflation is inevitable**. Those holding assets (homes, stocks) may *seem* richer in dollar terms, but dollars are a measuring tape that keeps shrinking.
**4. The Debt Trap**
Western governments (especially the U.S., with $38T in debt + $2T/year added) can’t pay what they owe. Their only escape? A **"soft default"**:
- Devalue the currency (printing money).
- Make debts "cheaper" to pay back via inflation.
**This is a hidden tax on everyone** — draining savings, wages, and stability.
**5. Don’t Miss the Big Picture**
Political chaos and infighting are distractions. The real crisis? **Policymakers have no good options**:
- Slash entitlements (Social Security, Medicare).
- Crush the dollar’s value (accelerating inflation).
- Cut defense spending.
- Or let U.S. Treasuries collapse relative to the real economy.
**All paths lead to pain for ordinary people.**
**6. The Solution: A New Foundation**
We need to measure value by something **real, scarce, and beyond manipulation**:
- **Hard reserve assets like Bitcoin and gold**.
- Bitcoin, especially, is a *system* — not just an asset. It turns **time and energy** (our true sources of value) into honest money.
That’s why I’m dedicating my time to this new paradigm. The old world is ending. The new one is being built — and it runs on rules, not rulers.
@strike @jack mallers thanks for today’s loan rollout!
@Alex Gleason @Derek Ross I’m using OpenAI as my AI provider in Shakespeare to connect to @Maple AI . Model deepseek-r1-0528. It works, starts vibe coding and all. However the right pane that previews your app and lets you interact with it doesn’t load. Is this expected when not using the Shakespeare AI provider?
@Derek Ross @Alex Gleason how do I log in to Shakespeare from another device to retrieve my credits?
