I commissioned a Rive artist to flesh out an idea I had for the login with lightning button. I paid them in BTC. ♥️ What do you think?

Rive — create with motion

Design, code, and animate in one collaborative editor — then ship anywhere. Build apps, games, websites, vehicle interfaces, and more.

🤣 Ok...GE. 10 days, huh?

That first glass of water int he morning.

Great read from @Marty Bent. I felt the same disgust when I saw Harris’s proposal targeting ‘price gouging’ at grocery stores. C'mon...seriously?

Socialism Rises in the United States

Things are getting crazier out there. Save yourself with bitcoin.

This pandering is going to backfire when people (hopefully) realize they’re letting a Trojan Horse into their finances. Thankfully, we have Bitcoin.

One of the things that I love about AI for someone who is a serial learner is that anytime I have a question or a curiosity I just simply ask. While I may not be given the right answer every time, I at least have an answer that satisfies my curiosity. And then if I'm still interested I can dig in more and do some more research. AI is really fucking cool.

Price controls on food was a huge problem in the past. I'm all for lower prices, but we have to let the market settle that on it's own, and begin accepting that lower prices requires deflation.

Harris to propose federal ban on 'corporate price-gouging' in food and groceries

Vice President Kamala Harris would expand FTC authority to help enforce a proposed federal ban on excessive prices in the food industry.

1. Ancient Rome - Emperor Diocletian's Edict on Maximum Prices led to severe shortages and black markets. 2. France (French Revolution) - The Law of the Maximum set price limits on food, leading to shortages and black markets. 3. Soviet Union - Price controls were a central feature of the planned economy, often leading to shortages and long lines for basic goods. 4. Zimbabwe - Price controls under the Mugabe regime led to severe shortages and a thriving black market. 5. Venezuela - Price controls have resulted in significant shortages of basic goods, with many items being available only on the black market Why? Shortages: When prices are set below the market equilibrium, demand often exceeds supply, leading to shortages. Black Markets: Price controls often create black markets where goods are sold at higher prices. Reduced Incentive to Produce: Producers may cut back on production if they can’t cover their costs, worsening shortages. Quality Decline: In some cases, producers may lower the quality of goods to maintain profitability under price controls.

Are we going to wake up one day and a tech company just leap-frogs everyone else because they have been using a private AGI for product development? I'm ready for my rapid technological progress. 🍿

Finding inspiration is so much fun. I go through periods plagued with a lack of motivation, and then something sparks my curiosity. The motivation comes rushing back in just as quickly as it left. I just wish I could sustain it!

Don't trade these markets. It's better to be a spectator than a victim.

This is not the god candle I was talking about, but I'll gladly take it for more sats. 🫡
