yeah thats probably the best setup today. the problem is the ux around getting there still isn’t obvious especially for new users. client + signer + nwc + wallet is a lot of mental overhead before zapping starts to feel seamless.

2026-08-20 13:47:11 UTC

we center so much of nostr around zaps because they’re one of its strongest value props, yet the experience is unbelievably fragmented across clients. you can switch clients but you rarely keep the same seamless zapping setup. in practice, every client wants to become its own little wallet ecosystem and wants to create its own monopoly, which makes portability much worse than it should be.

2026-08-13 01:42:00 UTC

in probably 15-20 yrs, instead of the biggest divisions being politics or even religion, there may really be just two camps: those who want to enhance and redesign the human body and those who want to preserve it. politicians, leaders, movements, even entire cultures could eventually organize themselves around that single question: how far should we be willing to change what it means to be human.

2026-08-13 01:35:53 UTC

imo there will also be a fork in human evolution. group 1 will want to become superhuman. taller, smarter, stronger, more attractive and able to live much longer. and eventually they’ll get what they want. group 2 will be the traditionalists. they’ll want to preserve the natural human form and experience as much as possible. over time these two paths will diverge so much that they almost become separate branches of humanity.

we go back to creating things that are deeply human. building incredible beautifully crafted architecture instead of soulless minimalist boxes. writing new masterpieces that could rival beethoven, creating the next picassos, etc.. basically shifting human energy from survival and repetitive work back towards creativity and craftsmanship. and hopefully bitcoin plays a major role in making that kind of world possible again.

as a consumer definitely yes. as a producer, in my view the economic drivers will become less dependent on human power or involvement.

2026-08-13 00:39:41 UTC

when electricity was first introduced, its impact on the economy wasn’t very visible or significant for about 40 yrs. factories basically replaced steam engines with electric motors while keeping the same old infra. real exponential acceleration only came when they started tearing everything down and rebuilding factories around electricity from the ground up. we’re seeing something very similar with ai. and it could continue for another 10 yrs or so. we’re creating this incredible technology and then doing what? handing it to humans to use within the same old systems. real deflation won’t arrive until the economy itself is rewired around ai with less and less human involvement.

2026-08-12 14:33:36 UTC

the human body is fully programmable, and so is every other living organism. we just don’t understand all the code yet but ai will help us get there. it’s the next stage in human evolution, much like the discovery of fire. fire wasn’t just a tool. it changed the course of human evolution. ai will do the same. it’s not just a tool.

everyone keeps trying to predict bitcoin’s price like we have no historical reference. we actually do.
look at star island in miami beach. it’s a tiny man-made island with only about 30 waterfront homes. for over a century it’s been one of the scarcest pieces of real estate in the world.
as more wealth was created, more of it flowed into the same limited supply of homes. star island didn’t just keep up with inflation. it absorbed an increasing share of global wealth because supply never changed.
a few examples…
- 1999: rosie o’donnell bought a waterfront home for $6.75m.
- 2003: she sold it for $16.5m.
- 2009: shaq’s waterfront estate sold for $16m during the financial crisis.
- 2025: that same estate sold again for $120m.
bitcoin shares the same core characteristic:
- absolute scarcity.
- fixed supply.
- impossible to dilute.
no analogy is perfect but star island is one of the closest historical analogs we have to bitcoin. when a truly scarce asset becomes a global store of wealth, history shows us what can happen over the long term.

i’m giving it about 3 yrs before local intelligence becomes the norm. within 36 months, relying on a frontier model provider for intelligence will feel like going to an internet cafe just to use the internet. hardware companies including apple will ship devices with built-in options that let you choose your preferred local open model out of the box. and here’s the kicker. bitcoin will be integrated into all of these models with a spending wallet. you’ll talk directly to your local shopping agent without a mouse or keyboard interface and it’ll order your amazon, book your flights, pay your bills, etc.. we’re moving towards ultimate human freedom. it’s not super fast and most of the time it’s very painful for the first gen ai civilization but we’re gettin’ there.

2026-08-03 13:34:03 UTC

say you rolled the dice 256 times, got the bits and entered them into a hardware wallet. what makes you think the firmware is actually going to respect those bits and generate the key from that exact entropy? if there’s a bug there too, it could just ignore your input and generate its own entropy instead. if you self custody, keep this in mind and don’t rely on a single key, even if you rolled your own dice.

2026-08-02 12:54:02 UTC

i’ve come to the understanding that anything touching bitcoin has to stay open source, even commercial products built by third-party vendors. if it’s closed source and handles sensitive data, don’t touch it.

2026-07-31 21:33:07 UTC

when a market wants to dump, it looks for a reason. if one doesn’t exist, it creates one. btc should dump in the next few days if this bear market is going to continue because now it has a spectacularly good reason to. based on thr 4 yr cycle, we’ve got about just 4 more months to go anyway. if btc doesn’t dump hard soon, imo it’s a reasonable sign the bottom’s in.

coldcard incident t+1. btc is holding up at 63k. really incredible. take note of that. this is far worse than an exchange hack.

2026-07-31 19:05:51 UTC

interesting reports coming through about how the attacker consolidated all of the utxos and there are certain patterns that will probably reveal their identity. if you’re affected and you think your coldcard is now garbage, do not throw it away. in case of recovery, you’ll need your hardware to verify and claim ownership.

multi-sig, multi vendor, multi fucking dice manufacturer, whatever it takes, we’re gonna win.

2026-07-31 18:00:59 UTC

the more i think about it, the worse it gets. self custody, the very essence of bitcoin took a big hit. it’s not just about coldcard, it’s also about every other hardware wallet. don’t be opportunistic and think it’s a good time to shill your hardware because if you think you’re now gonna sell more, you’re dead wrong. the winners are exchanges, ibit, all synthetic btc products and wall st in general.
