i see a lot of optimism around 0.1 btc being enough to retire you. even if you have a low time preference, it won’t be enough at least not anytime soon. if you’re already in bitcoin and understand what’s going to happen to fiat, you should do everything you can to secure at least one or two bitcoin, minimum. this note will probably piss some of you off but thats the truth.

Happy sunday friends! Salute!

bitcoin is apolitical. doesn’t matter how hard they try to stand with it. it doesn’t take sides and it stands with no one.

Happy saturday! Enjoy the long weekend. 🌴

Over the next 24 months, Bitcoin will go up a lot. A small handful of scam shitcoins, maybe like 5% might perform better but the rest will be complete rug pulls. Insiders will make a lot of money while normies get wrecked. There’s only one way to survive. Buy Bitcoin and do nothing.

If you're running a company, encourage your employees to use ai openly (not hide it) as much as possible and encourage them to be proud of it. it's the only way your company will survive.

i logged into my nostr account on damus and tried to access my wallet but it wasn’t clear that i was setting up a new coinos account, so it completely replaced my primal wallet with a coinos address and now i no longer receive zap notifications nor do i see any wallet activity in primal. we’re busy debating whether to get rid of likes but before that we really need to streamline multi-client wallet integration across the nostr ecosystem.

ai was clumsy, slow, and embarrassing right up ‘til the start of 2024. devs used it in secret and quietly, not wanting anyone to know. i even know some who stripped out ai generated comments so the code wouldn’t look machine made. but by early 2025 everything changed. now it’s embarrassing not to use it. that lost time once spent on boilerplate and repetition is now reclaimed for creativity, deep thinking, and real problem solving. some companies like salesforce have already replaced over 30% of their devs with ai. that number will only grow. human devs are becoming debuggers until this job is also not needed and irrelevant. the code is no longer written, it’s generated. the idea that we had to invent special languages just to talk to machines was always flawed and wrong anyway. that era is ending. english is becoming the most powerful and efficient programming language we’ve ever created. get used to it. stop whining.

i see so much whining of devs complaining about the advancement in ai. probably these complaints are just echoes of denial before acceptance sets in. ai will only get better from here. learn how to become a superhuman or get replaced by an average dev who actually knows how to debug stuff and becomes a super dev using these tools.

ok last ai thought of the night, i promise: singularity begins when we erase the word “interface” from our language. as we merge with ai, the separation dissolves. no need for screens, keyboards, commands or even the very user experience that we know of. the word itself admits the gap — inter-face — a face between. but in the end, there will be none. it becomes faceless.

one last random thought of thr night: ai probably won’t help half the world’s population maybe even more. reason is simple. garbage in garbage out. if you can’t think or articulate clearly ai is useless to you.

i originally thought likes were unnecessary on nostr. now i think they seriously hurt the core functioning of nostr. nostr will suffer as long as the like button stays on clients by default.

why did openai give a whole week off to all employees out of the blue? celebrating the arrival of agi internally??? 🤔

Ray Kurzweil’s famous price/performance of computation chart. Since 1939 it has followed a near perfect exponential straight line, unbroken for over 80 yrs and still going. Bitcoin will likely follow a similar growth curve over a similar timeframe. See the third green dot at the bottom. That is where Bitcoin is now.

this is wrong on every level. sats is the standard. every single institution starts their bitcoin pitch with 21 million forever. how do we not get this? why are we trying to change the very fabric that made bitcoin, the bitcoin which is defined by its absolute, unchangeable scarcity?
