I'll be discussing AI + Bitcoin for the self-hosted sovereignpreneur stack today at 2pm at the Genesis stage Come say hey! #bitcoin2026 #bitcoinvegas

what was the awesome new nostr client everyone was hyped up about a couple weeks back? ready to jump onnit

I know drinking's not cool anymore but for those of us over 35 willing to admit that it's fun once in a while, here's my post-alcohol supplement stack for optimizing sleep after a night of self-inflicted poison: 1. Magnesium Glycinate about an hour before turning in 2. Lemon water + baking soda 2. 1 dropper of CBD oil just before bed 3. Glycine + CBD + Valerian Root in the middle of the night when you wake up with your heart pounding 4. Wash everything down with electrolyte water (sugar free) 5. Wake up, work out, spend quality time/breakfast with loved ones (for the oxytocin) 6. Suggest everyone leaves the house for a while, take more CBD, put in some ear plugs, and take a 90-min nap. After all that, assuming I had no more than 3 drinks the night before, I've found that I can have an almost normal day. One might think it's easier to just not drink; but the truth is it'd be even easier to just be 22 years old again.

Best AI accounts to follow?

Haven't been on Nostr in a while. It's nice to see some non-Bitcoin themed posts.

We have made it to @Bitcoin Lake/ Lago Bitcoin - Guatemala headquarters. First stop was the 80s Cafe where they use Blink wallet and blast Van Halen, Bon Jovi, and The Police music videos.

Is attention becoming the internet's fiat currency? Human creativity once mined attention like gold... authentic content was the bedrock of online value creation. Each piece required time, thought, and genuine human insight. But today's landscape has shifted dramatically with the introduction of a new monetary policy: AI's printing press. The content marketplace is experiencing an evolution: • the noise is getting louder • attention spans are shrinking • content is getting less human AI tools can generate endless streams of attention-grabbing material, flooding our digital economy with low-effort content. Just as printing money devalues a currency, mass-producing content without human insight devalues attention. So what does this mean for creators? The fact that such content is able to gain such viewership makes me believe that traditional creators/influencers will grow to be less & less concerned with their actual authenticity... Because scaling their output is going to become far more important, in order to compete for attention amidst the AI-generated noise. Traditional creators will face a brutal choice in this new economy. They can either: • Maintain an "artisanal" approach while harnessing AI, crafting high-quality, authentic content at a human pace or • Merge with AI and join the race to scale by sacrificing quality and human creative input The market pressure is clear... Which brings us to the deeper cost of this attention economy: Humans use language as a tool, but language is AI's fundamental reality. When we too fully rely on its cognitive abilities, we start to lose sight of our own, until we don't bother using them at all anymore. This process will make us even more robotic, more complacent, more... malleable. On this trajectory, nuance will eventually only exist to the extent of the the AI's creative or reasoning constraints. And that there will be the limits of human critical thinking. When we outsource our creativity to AI, we don't just change how we create, we change how we think. I think the next era of content will determine whether attention remains a meaningful measure of value in our digital economy, or whether it becomes so inflated that we need to find an entirely new currency of online worth... The challenge for creators isn't just about maintaining relevance; it's about preserving the very essence of human expression in an increasingly automated marketplace of ideas.

So much has happened with huge implications for the future of humanity in the last 7 days, I'm struggling to process it all. Craziest is that half of it seems to have come out of El Salvador.

tutorials for creating a custom Lightning Address domain?

I went from calling myself an "artist" to "creator" and finally to "entrepreneur" before realizing that all 3 are required for success. Learning content and business allows us to create masterpieces by monetizing the most powerful force in our life: Creative energy. Once this can be harnessed with harmony, we are unstoppable.

El Salvador is adopting Bitcoin! And honestly the deeper you go, the cooler it gets. Here's a vignette from a hospital in San Salvador implementing a sovereign health identity system using the NOSTR protocol. What's super cool about @illuminodes work is that their software not only ushers vendors into a new paradigm of data management, but it's also modernizing their basic operations like accounts and scheduling (which they'd never got up-to-speed with in the first place). I'll be hosting a panel about this initiative at Adopting Bitcoin 2024 this November, which is the mega high-signal conference for people serious about building real-life tools inspired by magic internet money. We'll be discussing the future of healthcare and what decentralization experiments like this in El Salvador could mean for the world. Come join us by getting your Privileged Access pass to AB2024!

Adopting Bitcoin 2024

Nov. 15 – 16, 2024

It's only after you stop and examine the realization of an idea from thought to reality that you understand how much work is required to retain the clarity, persistence, and quality required for success.

all I have to do on X to get engagement is mention El Salvador I am excited to play a new game on Nostr.

What's the best route to take to get video content seen on Nostr? I can only upload photos on Primal. I'm open to running my own relay to host it but need pointers for the video visibility side of things.

Staying up late to work on your creator business is the new Netflix 'n chill. Prove your work and prove your worth.

Being in the business of empowering others can be weird. On one hand, you want to sell things for lots of money. But on the other hand, your mission is to help them develop more sovereignty over what they do. So unless you get creative, your success renders you irrelevant.

There's a lot waiting for us if we just decide to open our eyes to it. As for me, I struggle with attachments to my ego's desires in contrast to the reality of my goals. Sometimes the value we want to provide is not actually as valuable as the value we do provide...
