The feeling when I #vibe code something that I could only have dreamed of three years ago.

So. It’s happening. What Bitcoiners and to be fair, other hard asset proponents have long predicted is now clearly unfolding. Belief in the world order has crumbled. Desire to hold assets backed only by belief in that system is gone. And almost out of instinct, everyone runs to what even vikings, pirates and dragons under the Misty Mountain have hoarded for millennia. Gold, silver and shiny things. Then they will look around them. We survived. What next? What is it we are sitting on anyway? What is money? We all know what they will discover. It’s tough to imagine that hope in the future will begin to take hold once again. But it will. We’ve already been there and we can help. Be ready. It starts here.

Legislation by random citizen selection. I love it!

@Guy Swann I want to share something with you that I think you might get a kick out of. I was listening to the recent ‘Spark’s State Chain Innovation’ episode while driving and honestly, most of it was going over my head. Arc, Spark, Lightspark, State Chains .. what!? So I paused the playback and switched to a voice conversation with ChatGPT (have not tried PPQ’s voice integration yet) and a few minutes later I was able to rejoin the podcast with a solid background. A cool detail is that the LLM was accessing many of your previous show transcripts to add color to the explanations.

Musing on how Bitcoin has changed my life I realized that my experience is probably worth sharing, as it does not seem to be that common. Rather than retiring or switching into a purely Bitcoin path, I have simply let go the parts of my fiat job that I was doing mainly for money and refocussed on using my expertise to do things that I enjoy and where I can add the most value. It’s a more subtle shift, but nevertheless a personally rewarding one. So, I thank all of those Bitcoiners that over the years I have met in person, read, listened to podcasts and who hang out on Nostr for keeping me informed and inspired enough to get to this point.

@Guy Swann Once again I have to thank you. This time for switching me on to ppq.ai in your ‘Welcome to Subscription Hell’ episode. Honestly Dude, if I was the King of England, you’d be Sir Guy 🙏 Ppq.ai is the AI-lightning integration that I’ve been dreaming of (but better). Privacy out of box, seamless integration with lightning, a stunning choice of AI models, intuitive UI, pay as you go, transparent and reasonable pricing … This is the best use case for lightning since Nostr and really showcases this payment model. I am very fired up about where this is going to go. Next bull cycle starts now. I’m not on Twitter, but please give my regards to Matt Ahlborg also. Great work!

Why does no major cam sites integrate with the Lightning Network yet? It seems like the perfect use case for Lightning, i.e. I’ve been waiting for this for literally years, I need it now and with low fees and privately. The models and/or sites would appreciate the low fees I am sure. What’s going on? Just asking for a friend, of course.
