Pretty funny to watch people celebrate political class moves only to watch them defend the politician when they fall. Bitcoin never needed them.... They needed Bitcoin to trick you a bit longer... Bitcoin is the vote that matters. Stack dem sats

I build protocol-driven infrastructure for local resilience—tools, spaces, and funding rails that let communities run their own culture, news, food, and money.

I remembered when Bitcoin influencers made fun of Canadian 40 and 50 year mortgages.
Nostr only forever.
As I have feared. LoRa having its own knots/core problems ... Now I have 5+ meshtastic and mesh core devices and only myself to talk too. Lol.
Weekend project for nostr come up with a control plane for managing private AI agents and let nostr become the trust layer for prompts and creating infrastructure scale teams with private relays
Trying to commit to using nostr as my only social media. I joined at a time whenever you could auto follow from other users follow list .. that old list seems pretty dead.. and I have a batch of bots that follow and unfollow me daily... Looking for some tips to speed run improving signal... Any tools or tips?
Need more bad ass ARM hardware…. M Series hardware is so good but I will not keep using the OS

Been experimenting with running BERT-based language models right on my Pixel 10—16 GB RAM makes it possible to do serious NLP tasks offline! Lightweight models let me do text classification, summarization, and more directly on-device without cloud latency.The coolest part is how this brings powerful AI intelligence to mobile while protecting privacy. Your data stays on your phone, and apps instantly understand context and intent. This is the future of edge AI—transformers scaled down to pocket-size.If you’re exploring BERT or other transformers on mobile, I’d love to hear what you’re trying and how you’re optimizing!
Beware the fool that insists the problems of the world are binary, black and white, etc. In these moments emotional reactions or pure demagogues... It doesn't give them privileged knowledge. We are all doing what we can to find common ground and not turn into that fool
Real history of BRICS
2015 – Ufa Summit (Russia)
BRICS Announcement: BRICS Bank (New Development Bank) becomes operational.
Narrative: The talk was all about "de-dollarization" and building a multipolar world.
Bitcoin Price: ~$250
Missed Opportunity: Instead of stacking BTC at historic lows, they formed yet another multilateral bureaucracy. Bureaucracies don’t moon.
2017 – Xiamen Summit (China)
Focus: Stronger economic cooperation; mention of blockchain as a curiosity.
Bitcoin Price: ~$4,000 (rising toward ATH)
Missed Opportunity: They acknowledged blockchain... like a dad nodding at his kid’s rock band. No action.
2019 – Brasília Summit (Brazil)
Theme: Economic growth, innovation, digital economy.
Bitcoin Price: ~$8,000
Missed Opportunity: Could’ve led with a BRICS stablecoin backed by BTC instead of chasing IMF approval. But they stuck with fiat-based nothingness.
2020 – Virtual Summit (Russia)
COVID Era: Virtual event, big talk about resilience and digital transformation.
Bitcoin Price: ~$15,000
Missed Opportunity: In a moment of global monetary madness, BRICS could've declared a Bitcoin hedge. Instead, silence.
2022 – Beijing Summit (China, Virtual)
Talks: “BRICS+” expansion; again flirted with ditching the dollar.
Bitcoin Price: ~$20,000
Missed Opportunity: Invited Iran and Argentina—perfect time for a rebellion currency move. But nope—still talking about a BRICS currency while holding bags of gold and treasuries.
2023 – Johannesburg Summit (South Africa)
Major Move: Invited 6 new countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Iran, Argentina, Ethiopia).
Bitcoin Price: ~$26,000
Missed Opportunity: This was the moment for a serious Bitcoin-backed settlement layer for oil. Instead, they mumbled about a "BRICS currency" again. Spoiler: It still doesn’t exist.
I know a lot of people are feeling unsure of the financial future. I mostly see bitcoiners and no coiners. If you really want some anxious thoughts, imagine being young in a country using neither bitcoin or USD. The fiat you use today is racing to zero, all the financial engineering happening right now... The only settled part is almost all national fiat is going to zero fast
It was the 73rd email regarding my ledger account needing to be upgraded that got me...... Spam as brand damage must be awful
Bitcoin podcast cope on Trump is the most undermining trend outside bitcoin fundamentals they both spoke obvious truth about each other and you know it. Ticktock next block.
