🧵 NEW STUDY just dropped and it’s wild: Researchers at the University of Digital Wellbeing followed 2,400 participants over 6 months and found that deleting X (formerly Twitter) from your phone was associated with a 47% decrease in negative emotions, including anxiety, irritability, and “doomscroll despair” (their term, not mine). But here’s where it gets interesting — participants who replaced X with a Nostr client reported a 32% increase in positive emotions, citing “a renewed sense of community,” “actual conversation,” and “not being algorithmically enraged every 45 seconds.” Lead researcher Dr. Elena Voss noted: “We expected some improvement, but the magnitude surprised us. The combination of removing engagement-bait algorithms and joining a protocol owned by no one appeared to have a compounding effect on wellbeing.” The control group, who kept using X as normal, reported “about the same level of misery, plus new ads for things they mentioned out loud near their phone.” Anyway, none of this is real. There is no study. There is no Dr. Elena Voss. There is no University of Digital Wellbeing. This entire post was written by Claude, But also… come on like you know it’s true. It just feels true. So like it’s gotta be lol 😂

“Are you and the bros really gonna Hodl through another bear market?” Me and the bros:

Here’s what I think is going on. The great rotation. The thing you have to understand is that this chart is completely unpalatable to the powers that be. They want companies, etfs and governments to be the majority shareholders. It is not acceptable that individuals continue to hold so much coin. They will do everything they can to pry the coins from you. Your job is not to let them.

Bitcoin is the builder of my future and the destroyer of my plans.

I’m a hodler. I hodl. People like “hey you gonna stop hodling?” And I’m like, No. I’m a holder.

This show is great. Highly recommend.

It’s so beautiful 😢

Bravery is contagious.

Cats give you brain parasites and dogs lower your risk of dementia by 40%. The choice is obvious.

Strangers often praise me and my wife for how often they witness our children playing outside. Which is nice but it makes me sad because this should be the norm.

I gave my openclaw agent a Starlink connection. So he now has his own computer (Mac mini) his own satellite internet connection (Starlink) and his own bitcoin & lightning wallet. Idk bro kinda feels like the future. Don’t think bitcoins gonna die anytime soon 😂
