I have been driving a Tesla Model 3 for 5 years (bought it right after Tesla announced it had added Bitcoin to its balance sheet). A great car, very reliable. But I wonder why Tesla would constantly nag you about driving a little bit too fast, breaking a little too late (like having grandma on the passenger seat), or watching something else for 5 seconds when you are alone on the road, _and_ refusing to re-activate the USD 7k full-self-driving package after ignoring their nanny advice for a few times (happened to a friend). All this while Elon is spearheading sovereignty and free speech. Drove a Taycan the other day just to see that all the nanny functions can easily be switched off using the standard user interface.

It's funny to see people reposting Jack's notes with almost anyone following Jack in the first place.

My imagination is sometimes rather limited. True, I cleaned up my utxos a while ago (no sub 100k-soon-to-be-dust particles). However, I first need to see 100$ fees to start thinking properly about it. On April 20th I could clearly see the "black hole" between 100$ (max lightning capacity for most people) and 1000$ (where on-chain fee % start to become acceptable). We need to close that gap before fees will permanently be above what 100$ is today.

Just realized: If you quote your products in fiat you need to put an expiration date. If you quote in Bitcoin this is not necessary as products will automatically get more expensive the longer the customers waits.

It is incredible how far we have come in the last year and a half. The broader market is starting to recognize Bitcoin as the outstanding asset for which we have seen it for a long time. Larry Fink is doing its bidding. The DOE agreed to cancel its plans to "emergency-survey" Bitcoin miners and to delete related data received or to be received—Lindy effect in full play. Even in our erratic world, it is still reasonable to expect a rational outcome.

The talks here at #BA24 are outstanding 🎯, unique, novel. During the energy session, brilliantly introduced and managed by @Troy Cross , @Daniel Batten projected that by the end of 2026 Bitcoin mining can be carbon negative (if we all work together in one capacity or another). That would mean trillions of currently barred ESG money, expected to tripple Bitcoin’s market cap. Daniel nailed it 🎯.

The planning for our local halfing party has started.

"Broken Money" by @Lyn Alden is a brilliant read. It covers a broad range of highly relevant insights and technologies that are essential to those who wish to understand. Lyn found a clean style of punching strait and without lingering for too long on a subject that can be dealt with swiftly. She observes sharply without blaming but she also does not mince words and calls bs where necessary - and necessary it is. 1A Insight . You can easily get it at
