Nic Carter said sound money, stablecoins, and prediction markets were the only big things out of crypto. Do you agree, or do you see other things in the horizon? I’m very bullish on Bitcoin, Lightning, Nostr, but I’m aware of the UX and this is nothing the average person would use.

Wonder if the 80k Bitcoin really is Roger and this is how the SBR is funded and he gets citizenship again

is it? I've been trying to learn, feel like I suck at coding, and using agents or AI feels like cheating. do you let it write most of the code or what? is it really learning if you're just passively reading? not trying to shit on what you said I'm genuinely just curious about how to approach learning with it. I want to be a really good programmer, and I often see people saying then don't use AI because otherwise you're not learning anything.

I like the idea of nostr but I hate social media. Like censorship resistant money and comms are important in my eyes. p2p, decentralized, even better! But social media sucks. Advertising sucks. I remember a Bill Hicks standup clip where he asks the audience if anyone works in marketing, and then he tells those people to go home and kill themselves. I’m not sure “fix the money” will fix what bugs me about the world. From food to entertainment and just about everything else, it’s been studied and engineered to make it addictive. Salted and seasoned and perfectly crisp, or manufactured, edited, directed, it’s all just designed to be as addictive as possible so numbers go up and you come back for more. I hate the meaninglessness of it all. A whole economy of little real value propped up by addicts.

opened a new channel after having lost power and forgetting to restart the ol' albyhub. kinda doubt the average person will ever use lightning. I don't find it hard but it is more work than the average person will commit to.🤷

Can’t wait!

I feel bad for laughing a little, some of those stories are WILD. I have asked LLMs about a great many things, including advice, but always under the knowledge "it's a text predictor" and nothing more. It's really sycophantic, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't somewhat helpful. I guess it is much more important to have that distinction than I thought. It's just software and as the saying goes: don't trust, verify. slightly more accurate magic 8 balls, but apparently more convincing to some!

proof reading is extra important on nostr 🤷 still better than anything else.

what does do you run at home vs what do you run in the cloud and why? I run my Bitcoin node behind tor as that seems best practices but I don't connect to it on the go. it would be nice to run stuff on a home server, but I worry about a mix of privacy (ip leaking, security vulnerabilities), and uptime (power outages or network outages). recently lost power, forgot to restart my albyhub, lightning channels closed 😕

twitter limits the number of people you can follow apparently. I have a lurking account since there is just more activity on there in general. what a load of shit. I have a huge array of interests so I tried to follow what I'm interested in so the algo can recommend more things and I get rate-limited? lame. bullish on nostr.

put AI in it and Sam Altman might offer you a couple billion! You could beat Ivy to the punch 😂 In all seriousness, neat project, I like seeing all the work you're doing on this stuff.
