Jack Dorsey spoke in Oslo on the importance of open source not only for social media but also AI.

Samourai did nothing wrong.

Merry Christmas everyone!

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Stop being concerned with the planet so much. The planet doesn't matter. The people on it matter.

I’ve always been a Trezor fan but it is sad (while at the same time amusing) to see Ledger commit product suicide.

Higher tx fees on Bitcoin equal (temporary) deflation since a lot of coins become immovable (tx fee > balance). When (if) mempool cleans out again, people should think about consolidating UTXOs and moving smaller amounts off-chain.

The new AI tools are finally a solution to the modern information overload.

When you use banks, you are always at their mercy. You can lose all access to your life savings in a heartbeat. Do not forget that.

Damus always opens on Posts & Replies instead of just Posts (at least for me). It's annoying. I'm starting to prefer Plebstr.

It's remarkable how resilient civilization is, even when people are constantly trying to tear it down from within.

Imagine holding USDC to protect yourself from traditional banking.

Why do the right thing, when if you do the wrong thing and later redeem yourself you are praised much more? Think alcoholics or unhealthy people. Why are people not praised when they never go that route in the first place? The story of “how I became sober” is always going to get more attention than “how I don’t drink alcohol”. The latter might even be met with shouts of “boring!”
