The only sustainable way to counteract OGs selling large stacks is by using Bitcoin as money. Hodling alone does nothing. View quoted note →

MSFT gates access to a lot of the world’s software. We need as many backups as we can get. View quoted note →

Thinking about the filters debate, it dawned on me that it's all a moot point: 80 bytes may be enough to use as a latent space in an autoencoder [1]. For example, you could encode an image (ie. embed it in the latent space), convert the latent vector to a consensus valid address, and publish to the chain. Then you release the decoder half of the autoencoder publicly (say on nostr) and anyone could interpret that image (or any image encoded with the encoder half) if they ran the decoder. That's effectively what happens when inscribing a jpeg. Granted we use traditional software for rendering/decoding the image but I don't see much distinction. 1.

Baby steps towards a Dyson Sphere [1]. Initially this is a satellite constellation around the earth but over a long enough timespan it’s a race to capture as much energy as possible from the sun. And if this works you can imagine ASICs making their way up to space too since electricity makes up a large percentage of the operating costs. If starship makes good on its promise to drive the cost of space access down 100x and we already have the research and designs for running servers efficiently in space (from this Google project eventually) then ASICs quickly follow.

I love you all, but some of you need to get back with your ex or something because you clearly don’t have enough drama in your life 😂

People were hating on Gensler for pushing back on ETFs but have you considered that maybe an ETF for money doesn’t make sense and those products encourage the “bitcoin is property; lever up against it instead” narrative? It was inevitable that Wall St would show up but it’s not something to celebrate. They blew a hole in the housing market years ago and we still haven’t fully recovered. They’re not good bedfellows.
