Recently, I heard about The Bitcoin Lens on Youtube. There is so much great material in the Bitcoin space, and after checking it out, this is a great video for you no-coiner friends and family.
I recently had a conversation about AI with a middle-aged farmer from rural Alberta. He’s a smart guy who manages a large farm, and he mentioned that he expects AI to make his job about 20% more efficient over the next 5–10 years. Personally, I’ve been using tools like GROK and ChatGPT regularly, and I listen to a few tech-focused podcasts. I’d say I’m ahead of the average person when it comes to adopting AI. That’s why I think his 20% estimate is way off. In my view, we’re more likely to see that level of efficiency improvement per year, not spread over a decade. Curious to hear others’ thoughts — is 20% over 10 years realistic, or are we underestimating the pace of AI's impact?
I constantly hear of people saying "buy the dip" and all I think is "with what money?" Pretty pointless to sell Bitcoin or Bitcoin associated assets to buy Bitcoin or Bitcoin associated assets. When your all in there is nothing to buy the dip with unfortunately.
Recently got back from a short vacation to Banff. While I love the Alberta rockies these are my gripes and why I rarely go and my daughter will likely miss out on experiencing these national treasures for all the reasons below: - Unaffordable for most Canadians ($500 per night in Canmore for a small apartment) - Extremely busy with mostly foreign tourists - Infrastructure is terribly inadequate Lots of Albertans say "limit the foreign tourists" I say thats a terrible idea and not fair to them (would you want to be restricted from seeing the world?) The Solution is quite simple - open Banff up to development. Make Banff a hub for tourists and citizens alike - get government restrictions out of the way (development in the national parks is heavily regulated) let the free market drive the tourist industry in Banff. This would: - lower prices for Canadians and Foreigners alike - allow adequate infrastructure to be built reducing the demand on existing over taxed services - Jasper and Waterton which are similar to Banff can be left in more of a natural state for the more outdoor enthusiasts keeping development of these to a minimum. Unfortunately because of the governments in Canada this is unlikely to happen leaving our children to spend more time and dollar(soon to be Sats) in foreign countries where its much more affordable and enjoyable. image
