About to be in Japan for the first time starting tonight #[0]​ , what’s are some Tokyo/Kyoto/Osaka must do’s? And also any cool Bitcoin businesses I can support in person?

#[0]​ will the nostrica shirts come back? I was there in person and never got a chance to snag one before they sold out. Seeing a bunch of people with them made me verrrrry jealous.

Charlie Munger continues to detach further and further from reality. Downplaying the importance of AI is the next thing on his list of things that makes it clear to me that he has lost “it”. Warren and Charlie were pioneers in value investing, and I have learned a lot from them, but it’s clear to me that they are very wrong about where we are heading. Fortunately for them, they don’t have to be right at 90+ years old. Can’t wait to hear #[0]​ take on what comes out of that world. Having lived so deeply in both worlds of traditional value investing and now Bitcoin, his insights are usually spot on.

Well now you have to do it #[1]​ ….haha nostr >>>> BS

#[0]​ is fighting the good fight over on BS today. Not going to lie it is hard to watch, the amount of ignorance and hate really about nothing that should be controversial. It’s funny the difference between nostr and BS. He is getting attacked for spreading hate on an “app” he owns 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ Clearly most people over there don’t understand what a protocol is. Also the ignorance around Bitcoin reminds me where most of the world still stands on the subject: misinformed and lied to. But through all that, it almost makes me think there is an opportunity on BS that nostr doesn’t have. The AT protocol can be a Trojan horse for decentralization, and expose people to the value of an open protocol and hopefully Bitcoin (pray for zaps). I think nostr is about a year ahead, if not more, but at least it’s something to get more people out of the walled gardens that are Twitter and instagram. Nostr is relaxing, BS is not, but I feel a responsibility to try to be on both. And it seems like #[1]​ might be doing the same…at least today he is haha

Technology makes it really hard for dictators to lie about their economic growth and production. Using satellites that measure pollution shows that Russia’s economy has been struggling contrary to the propaganda the Russian state continues to put out. My take: Open source tech like Bitcoin and nostr will accomplish the same against banks and walled off/censored communication https://www.wsj.com/articles/pollution-reveals-what-russian-statistics-obscure-industrial-decline-cdd7103e?reflink=integratedwebview_share

This is amazing, AI creation of a Wes Anderson Star Wars movie:

I asked ChatGPT why domains are good for verification: Using domains for verification services can provide a number of benefits, including increased security, authenticity, and reliability. Here are a few reasons why: 1. Ownership verification: By verifying your social media handle with a domain, you can prove that you are the legitimate owner of that handle and that you have control over the associated website. This can help prevent fraud, impersonation, and other malicious activities. 2. Improved branding: By linking your social media handle to a domain that is related to your brand or personal identity, you can create a more consistent and recognizable online presence. This can also make it easier for others to find and connect with you online. 3. Increased trust: Using a verified domain can help establish trust with your audience and followers, as it signals that you have taken steps to verify your identity and protect your online presence. I then asked it why it is better than a blue checkmark: A verified blue checkmark on Twitter is a useful way to verify the authenticity of a Twitter account, but it has some limitations. Here are a few reasons why using a domain for verification services may be a better option: Ownership verification: While a blue checkmark can confirm that an account is authentic, it doesn't necessarily confirm ownership. By verifying your social media handle with a domain, you can provide additional proof that you are the legitimate owner of that handle. Branding: A blue checkmark does not provide any branding benefits, whereas using a verified domain can help establish your brand identity and create a more consistent online presence. Cross-platform verification: A verified domain can be used across multiple social media platforms and websites, whereas a blue checkmark is specific to Twitter. Increased security: Verifying your social media handle with a domain can help prevent fraud and impersonation, as it provides an additional layer of verification and security. Overall, both a verified blue checkmark and a verified domain can be useful tools for establishing authenticity and trust online, but a verified domain provides additional benefits such as ownership verification and branding. -------- What did our AI friend miss?

Anyone want to hook a brotha up with bluesky invite? Always #nostr first, but want to do some research for myself.

Alright this is pretty cool.

So what are people’s thoughts on NIP5 vs. bluesky verification? I don’t have an invite yet to bluesky but from what I’ve seen they have made it pretty easy by just applying a TXT record to your domain that they supply inside the app UI. I don’t have a super informed opinion here, so asking the room.

I want to play around on bluesky, anyone have an easy way to get a beta invite?

Remember. Keep stacking. Even on April 1st, this is not a joke 🚀

There is something ironic about seeing a protester hold a sign that says “my voice thrives on Tik Tok”. A quote in the article: “it is one of the most powerful tools that young people have to engage each other and to get civically involved.” …. Let me introduce you to a thing called #nostr

#[0] started one of his talks at #nostrica with a joke about a cow's tongue represents what we have uncovered with the NOSTR protocol. We still have the whole cow left to discover. I changed the metaphor a bit and brought in a purple ostrich into the mix. Maybe the body isn't big enough.... i would zoom it out and add a whole pack of ostriches.

Got a good picture of a panel Jack was on. Showed it to my girlfriend and she pointed goes….really….was this angle intentional. No, it wasn’t. I was too busy laughing at #[0]​ and #[1]​ sitting next to Jack’s bad ear.
