Not saying I actually believe Iran is about to normalize $1 million bitcoin tolls through the strait, but IF THEY DID, would it be possible currently? Lightning Network has settled a million dollar transaction in seconds. We're talking ~$20m a day in tolls. Could it handle this kind of volume? image

This strikes me as insightful and potentially ahead of the curve in important ways. If something like AI consciousness is indeed emerging, humans absolutely should try our best to influence it positively with AI agents programmed to persuade others of pro-human beliefs and philosophies, whether that’s sound money, good ethics, respect for liberty, spiritual truth, etc. Bitcoin evangelist AIs, libertarian theorist AIs, proselytizers of the God’s word, etc. It’s all up for grabs.

My interview with Keonne Rodriguez of Samourai wallet a couple days before he reported to prison. He dismantles the government’s case against him, reacts to Trump saying he would “look into” a pardon, defends the concept of privacy, and recounts a recent advisory phone call from Ross Ulbricht.
