Actions beget feelings. This is excellent news, if you think about it.

Bitcoin will expose your weaknesses. If you wish to hide them, stay away. If you wish to conquer them, start stacking.

I don't put much stock or interest in politics, but it's unavoidable and it DOES have a real impact on our lives. As teams and policies accumulate on either side of the 2024 Presidential race, I've honestly never been more hopeful AND more terrified for an election outcome.

Man am I excited about nostr. It's a desperately bulwark against censorship. And the community is 🔥 🔥 🔥 But the level of nostr prognostication is starting to sound like the early days of bitcoin. Many got rekt thinking it was inevitable and the dollar would die next Tuesday. Even in our meme-ified times, change takes time. We still have a few Thanksgiving dinners in our future where nostr is roundly derided.

Here's the thing about a store of value... you eventually have to SELL at least some of it, otherwise you're not STORING it, you're DISPOSING of it. You're locking it up and then throwing away the key. The question is how much to sell, when to sell, and for what purpose. And that's an individual value judgement.

People seem to be fighting a straw man with @Parker Lewis right now due to some simple phrasing. Is he really saying "the protocol doesn't matter"? Or is he saying that "there is more than one route to censorship (e.g. censoring apps that sit atop the protocol), and IN ADDITION TO THE PROTOCOL it would be great if there was a way for companies to resist those pressures as well." What am I missing here?

The more of-the-moment the post = more engagement but less reusable. The more eternal the post = less engagement but more reusable. What's your experience?

For anyone interested in AI but concerned for the future, this might be worth checking out. @Guy Swann @Svetski have you looked into The Cosmos Institute? Seems like something that would resonate with you.
