Absolutely agree. Bitcoin is not worthless but useless. Other cryptocurrencies are superior for the original rebellion sovereignty spirit. I hope one of them will ultimately succeed. I keep my eyes mostly now on ZANO and also Dash, Digibyte, Bitcoin Cash.

As AI keeps advancing, we must advance ourselves spiritually. We need to raise our collective consciousness to the frequency of love. If we fail, we will become an extremely technologically advanced society – with no heart. We will just be like machines. This will be truly dystopic.

If enough people use it, you don't need on or off ramps. Just like you can pay with the USD in Uzbekistan, and it is actually the preferred currency. The problem is people need to start using it. I also think Dash solved this problem more or less.

They just implemented Farcaster and branded it BASE. I don't see much of Nostr in it.

Yes USDT is big

Exactly. Also, it's worth looking at Africa - what cryptos do they use daily for buying groceries etc.

I say that current AI is AGI. It is not obvious yet, because we haven’t yet connected very complex and fragmented software and data environments – and for R&D to turn into real-world change is a multi-year process anyway. Even if we stopped and freeze AI development here and now, we’d only realize that we indeed have AGI 2 or 3 years down the road. In some niches it will be faster (software or law) in others slower (complex logistics). However, AI development is not stopping here and now. It continues to improve – I say exponentially. Even if you are more conservative, then the linear growth still has undoubtedly a large rate of change. Today (!), we have AI models that evolved from barely completing sentences to writing code that ships to production, we have AI doing PhD-level research, and achieved gold medal-level performance on the International Math Olympiad. AI is solving medical problems that baffle experts. Again – what is currently mostly manually prompted work in long chat conversations will soon develop into agents that can do almost all knowledge work fully autonomously. I’m not talking about AI as an assistant, as a co-pilot. It will just straight up finish the work while you are napping on the beach. The difference between the GPT-3 model and today’s models – whether Grok 4, Gemini 2.5 Pro, or ChatGPT o4 – is like comparing a Nokia 1011 to an iPhone 16 Pro. We went from purely text based chats to multimodal understanding – models that can see, hear, and reason across domains simultaneously. AI is starting to genuinely understand context and nuance in ways that feels human. The next phase is not purely larger AI models, but models that learn continuously. They can remember you, plan and execute multistep tasks over days, weeks, or months. An AI system that perfectly remembers, understands context, who never sleeps, and gets smarter every day. This is being built today in AI labs around the globe. We have AGI today, and it is only a matter of time for us to arrive at superintelligent AI systems. Is it 2 years? 3 years? 4 years? 5 years? Irrelevant. Whether it is 1 year or 10 years, the implications are the same: everything is going to change forever.

I think CBDC are actually brilliant, because the black labor market will still exist, and they obviously will not use CBDCs. They will use Dash, Zano, ZCash, Monero. Ergo, finally we see real world adoption of useful privacy-friendly cryptocurrencies due to NNT's minority rule.

Looking back, I was most successful when I actually didn't care at all about the results of my work. I expected nothing. I simply went with the flow. Everything just inexplicably fell into place. I met people, published articles online, and opportunities just came along out of the blue, deals closed without resistance. However, in the past 2 years – primarily after my son was born – I put a lot of internal importance on "having to succeed". I put a lot of pressure on myself. I was more disciplined, I was working more on larger goals I set myself. But very strangely, everything became notably harder and financial success effectively ran away from me. Because it simply isn't working, I decided to remove all of this importance and pressure; to detach completely. Not caring about the end result. Moving with the flow. Paying attention to synchronicities. Moving with the most exciting thing I can do – even if financially it looks irrational. ¡Venga! P.S. maybe there is a reason you read this? Send me a DM ;)
