@nat brunell The whole purpose of you being in the #bitcoin space as a top notch journo is to do the interviews that need doing. To keep a real finger on the pulse. What is happening at Swan? Do their numbers add up? Why no transparent disclosures on VC funds deployed? How can we setup a business model where you aren't tied to funding from the very companies we the plebs want you doing the tough interviews with? @ODELL I'm not suggesting Swan will rug tomorrow or anytime but there are legitimate questions and we need a pro journo to sort it out and be straight with the plebs. The frustrating part of the podcast scene is there are very few people not in the pocket of the industry itself. Who is left to keep everything real?

This is the antithesis of #nostr You shouldn't even fucking know how many people are tapping into your words and you certainly shouldn't care if it's 10 or 10,000. I long for the day audience farming dies. Highly unlikely to happen given human nature. View quoted note →

I can't even begin to express how retarded this thinking and perspective is. It's the epitome of developer self loathing. Everything matters. UI/UX/codebase etc. The presumption that caring about UX is synonymous with being a normie that deserves to live inside a dystopian madness is....well it's pathetic. Reject this framing. It's age old dogma from deluded developers who have no capacity to think on a substantive level about the nature of human interactions. View quoted note →

Is it poetic in some way that the conflict most likely to lead to WW3 and by extension most likely to lead to hyperinflation of the USD and hyperbitcoinization is also on the front page of that paper on that day? View quoted note →

This trend will accelerate to the point it causes most people to wake up and demand privacy. Oh wait. Sadly no it won't because most humans are already locked into a pattern of existence that they cannot and will not choose to break free from. View quoted note →

The strangest thing is that if you had told me in the year 2000 that search on the internet would be demonstrably poorer in the year 2023 relative to the turn of the century I just wouldn't have believed you. View quoted note →

I'm going to have to wait until 2025 for this bull run aren't I?
