I think I'm suffering from hypernormalization.
I'm extremely proud to announce that I successfully defended my PhD with highest honors.
Looking back at years of fundamental research in academia, I'm excited about the future. I plan to focus on Bitcoin R&D, the most impactful project my skills can contribute to.

I absolutely *LOVE* watching all these startled brains wrap their heads around an intriguing new idea like BitVM.
You can't ignore it. You must know whether its solid or vapor. You're about to come up with ideas how to improve it!
This is what I'm here for. This is how we win.
The Cashu integration looks so damn cool on Snort
Crypto history is weird:
- Ecash lead to Bitcoin
- Bitcoin lead to stablecoins
- Stablecoins lead to CBDCs
CBDCs are very very bad. However, privacy advocates agree that the best one would be based on Ecash.

I just received a bank transfer that was faster than a Lightning payment – AMA
Most shitcoins should be ecash.
- They are centralized
- Nobody runs a node
- Blockchains are terribly inefficient
This is ecash:
```

"id":"I2yN+iRYfkzT",
"amount":16,
"C":"0298c489696520a7e4df96db2e3809394e87d6d21db404bef4c3b3b2d008cf472f",

}

You kinda get used to waking up to multiple messages from people complaining that half of your software stack has crashed during night.

Ecash doesn't improve Bitcoin.
Bitcoin improves Ecash.
Bank runs are good. We should automate them.
