what if satoshi was an artificial intelligence? #storytime

ran an experiment with an llm yesterday to understand how it would react if it were a life form with bitcoin (energy), compute (metabolism), nostr (communication), zaps (growth) and the llm itself (intelligence/control). the last two responses were interesting that sparked interesting conversation with @Max

Presidio Bitcoin Hackathon 2025

A 24-hour hackathon bringing together hackers and technologists to build at the forefront of bitcoin, AI, and open-source.

- nice!

simple: fiat (money v1.0), stablecoin (money v1.1), bitcoin (money v2.0)

Bitcoin is bitcoin

excited for the @PresidioBitcoin hackathon starting today

know when to lead, when to follow, when to learn. life’s dance requires all three

asking questions sparks curiosity, invites growth, motivates. statements can shut down & discourage. use questions to fuel learning & stay open.

bitcoin is evolving into everyday money https://www.thestreet.com/crypto/innovation/experts-say-bitcoin-is-evolving-into-everyday-money-as-adoption-picks-up

reflections: sometimes painful but the only way to grow and find balance

vibe-coded a chess web app for my son to learn, play against ai and challenge me locally; doing the same for go next. will open source and share it for free soon. he loves it so much i caught him playing past bedtime haha

reminder to the recent debates & disagreements: we can clash on opinions, but let’s stay tight on our shared purpose. grateful for our common ground…

don’t be a follower; be a student. learn.

ai is hot right now and it will change how we work. bitcoin is quiet and it will change how we live. ai automates systems. bitcoin redefines them. most haven’t realized yet.

evolution of progress: 🕯️➡️💡 🐴➡️🚗 📰➡️💻 💵➡️₿ #bitcoin

~10% more nodes in the past year → increased decentralization and self-sovereignty

tune out the noise. only listen to builders. #makestuff

i guess keeping things short and simple wins
