There appears to be a bunch of “news” accounts on X shitposting about huge whales dumping 100k coins at a time/selling their entire 2011 positions with faked screenshots and are reliably getting 50k RTs and not corrected. 🤦‍♂️

Happy Liberation Day!

Per River’s latest report the lightning network processes roughly 0.1% the transaction volume of Visa (by volume, not count!). Honestly not bad!

Build open payment rails into AI or suffer this outcome. The big AI labs are working on proprietary payment rails for their own use, locking useful AI into their closed gardens and ensuring their cut of everything you buy. If we don’t build, that’s the outcome we’re stuck with - build agents with Bitcoin wallets, build agents that sell things, build agents that email merchants when they want to buy things.

It’s time for bitcoiners to step up and build. You don’t need to know anything about software development anymore, you just need to note how to write (or even speak) words! We have a golden opportunity to build out agentic payments based on the best money, rather than letting it be captured by big corporations yet again. But we’re squandering it arguing about useless crap instead of building. Play with openclaw, give it a bitcoin wallet (moneydevkit makes this super easy! Also Lexe and phoenixd!), make it do things. If it fails to do what you want, go fix it! Build that bitcoin domain reseller, build that bitcoin airline ticket reseller, build whatever it is you need! Bitcoin doesn’t just happen, it’s built.

I dunno who needs to hear this but seeing a professional (American) football game in person is strictly worse than on TV. The games are made for TV. Do you know what happens in the stadium for the nearly 50% of the time that they’re showing commercials? Absolutely fucking nothing. Oh you have a box? Cool, I’d rather be at a bar watching it on TV.

It’s impressive how well LLMs demonstrate the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect.

This. Build the best Bitcoin to get more normal sane people to use Bitcoin and drown out the crazies. That and don’t bother engaging on social media. Sorry to the crazies you’re just never gonna get to interact with any Bitcoin dev at this point - people gotta protect their time. View quoted note →
