The more I think about it, @jack has a point with the Bits/Bitcoins/Sats argument. The unit bias scares off a lot of vulnerable people who would otherwise most need Bitcoin. It keeps things abstract, distant, and unobtainable. It obfuscates the fractional nature of Bitcoin and its use as money even for the smallest of purchases.

I've been so busy lately it's been impossible for me to write and nearly impossible to read. It's been a good kind of busy, but I hope things calm down soon.

As much fun as NGU is, I find the conversations much more interesting when the number goes down.

#Microsoft putting "Ask #Copilot" above "Copy" when you right click in #Outlook has me feeling a certain kind of way

@jack mallers talks a lot about a coming age where artists and creative, imaginative people are empowered by functional money and innovation. I'm not convinced that will happen, but it would be nice. In his latest livestream he said he might do a keynote speech on this topic. I would be interested to listen to that. What sent me down this technological and financial rabbit hole was seeing how broken the art/publishing world was. I see creative people being crushed into dust and their energy being drained by corporate overlords, especially when it comes to copyright/intellectual property controls. If Bitcoin can fix the money and Nostr can fix online distribution, this would be a massive step towards realizing Jack's prediction.
