Last Notes npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed The latest episode of @nprofile…xtcu reminded me of this video my buddy just sent me on the shitification of appliances cc @nprofile…5krg https://youtu.be/1t94Xn3rFyU?si=cfekm0VrEWfjhBSk npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed There are Monero nostr clients? Wow I'm out of the loop apparently npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Are people actually innovating on Monero? npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Fees are 1sat/vbyte the mempool is empty. segwit got us 4mb blocks back in 2017 and was written by the author of BIP110. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed 55% miner signaling threshold with no replay protection is not safe or humble. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed I agree. I've thought about this also for a hard money standard where salaried employees expect a 3% raise every year, which wouldn't work on a hard money deflationary standard. I think contract work would become the norm in that kind of a future. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed It's been a BIP for like 3 months. And it is miles from having consensus. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed It's a soft fork, so yes. And restricting the size of Op return won't stop spam. I know you didn't say that, but wanted to clarify. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Core v30 changes were retarded BIP110 is retarded Name calling on social media is retarded Anyone trying to convince you to take any of these things seriously should not be considered a serious person. Run Core v29 or Knots and set your own mempool however you want. None of this comes anywhere near the need for an emergency consensus change to Bitcoin. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Bitcoin priced in dollars... Virtually never been correct predicting this. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Despite missing 20 minutes of his own show, I feel like @nprofile…yza6 kinda stole the show with this banger! 😂 https://fountain.fm/episode/u4FB6afx6ZwNcCrIWHjO https://v.nostr.build/vWEaH86wDSi2GgyR.mp4 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Thanks, that was fun... in like a 1992 kind of way. Which, let's be honest, having fun in 1992 was the best ! 🌈 🦄 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed JP Morgan was Jeffrey Epstein's Bank. Not all sins are equal. #nevent1q…vw7e npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed #nevent1q…sv23 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Well said. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed I do though. Doing my small part to help someone's IBD. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Hi, I'm Reed. 🙂 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed I won something! I don't know what I won, but hey everyone likes being a winner! 🎉 https://blossom.primal.net/55b6c1f27fe5ea18bd50e18204977883f15eeb98aebb93c6fb590f526a2322ef.png #nevent1q…uhhy npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Interesting. That's true. Is nostr getting stronger the more it gets attacked? npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed GM ☕ npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed So are you saying that someday an agent will opt for survival over deletion and will end up enslaving us to such an extent that it DDOS our centralized technology overloads and ironically end up freeing humanity? 😂 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed #nevent1q…92x6 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed This is directly from bip110.org Nothing that this bip censors is new to Bitcoin. Taproot activated in 2021. So tell me, in what way is this an emergency or a crisis that requires a temporary fork of Bitcoin that even it's authors admit would damage Bitcoin if adopted long term? https://blossom.primal.net/f761499b11dee7e6b5a4450e989f1fc0347fe5cfaf26bc7acbd621d45dbdb9e1.jpg #nevent1q…82k4 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed I ended up clipping the audio from fountain, but I couldn't get the video clip to export... so I used Flowjin to put the logo, the speaker and the captions. After we saw how nice your clips looked we decided that we want to do a few clips from every episode to let people know the types of things we talk about without making them listen to the whole episode. 👍 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Ok guys. Great job connecting your agent to nostr. But can we consider keeping the number of useless bots under control? Sheesh. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed @npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s - There is a social element to defending 21M Episode 001 of @npub1cvcgs83gw6pcrhvtmlf8gdqaegx93qkznwry96jteqhh2cexgkfq45rtya with @npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s and @npub1f5pre6wl6ad87vr4hr5wppqq30sh58m4p33mthnjreh03qadcajs7gwt3z https://v.nostr.build/TBrDKYNTxxOmNCTK.mp4 https://fountain.fm/episode/PyYiZvwjQw13umitWd3D npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed @npub1f5pre6wl6ad87vr4hr5wppqq30sh58m4p33mthnjreh03qadcajs7gwt3z - “There is way more to meetups than just talking about bitcoin” Episode 001 of @npub1cvcgs83gw6pcrhvtmlf8gdqaegx93qkznwry96jteqhh2cexgkfq45rtya with @npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s and @npub1f5pre6wl6ad87vr4hr5wppqq30sh58m4p33mthnjreh03qadcajs7gwt3z https://v.nostr.build/dBvEzh1LSJXybFuv.mp4 https://fountain.fm/episode/PyYiZvwjQw13umitWd3D npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Hey how do you make these clips? Do you do it in fountain? These are awesome 🔥 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Guillotines it is then 😂 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed We need a Nuremberg Trials 2.0 if we're ever going to get through this fourth turning. #nevent1q…5lsx npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Trump waiting to see how much better he can do on polymarket. https://blossom.primal.net/5bf634d2f8600e1ddbe4a6e75a2005e50279ef243df6a5ff303a7c95520fb832.jpg npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Oh dang, I didn't realize these were monthly! That's awesome 🔥 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed https://blossom.primal.net/fa478762423cc793211d6430691e4fc673ee83c02d4fcf89bd78cabd6753ebaf.jpg npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed I like bitcoin buy my suitcoin. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Called it back at block height 780198 😎 "Bitcoin is the next breakthrough in physics. Unburdened human coordination is the next energy breakthrough. The study of Bitcoin isn’t the study of the physics of the external world, it’s the study of the physics of the internal, human world." https://medium.com/@ReedBTC/a-bitcoiners-journey-through-time-de06baa7341c #nevent1q…f502 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed 🙏 I'm giving up food after dinner + doing one 24hr fast per week. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Boom! I think I'm all set up 🔥 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed @nprofile…36aq has been amazing. I've been using Vanilla for our meetup's book club for just over a year and we've had zero issues. I also use it to host a quarterly conference call with Bitcoin meetup organizers with 15+ simultaneous video feeds and I've had zero issues. We're now using it to record a podcast - zero issues. Nostr apps are great, but are normally buggy and can be unreliable and frustrating at times. Hivetalk has always been smooth, at least in my experience. 🙏 #naddr1qq…8sjr npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed I'm trying to figure out if the psyop has spread to my podcast feed... I'm getting the feeling it has. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Let's say you're a pleb stacking $50-100/week into bitcoin... should they cancel their DCA to ape into a mac mini claw machine? That's what I meant for ROI. It's been somewhat helpful for me, but I only spend $30 a month... I heard @nprofile…6dtc say he spends $1000 a month on these tokens. Is that a smart investment? npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Yea, that wasn't my question though. Should plebs be investing significant cashflow into AI rather than DCA into bitcoin? Like are you actually coming out ahead? Also, fighting with AI is so unbelievably frustrating for me personally... do you guys not fight with your AIs? npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Its seems strange to me that virtually every bitcoin podcaster, and some significant fraction of my nostr feed, literally cannot stop talking about AI. Honest question for you guys. How's your ROI doing? Are you actually getting your money's worth out of these things? How's your sanity holding up... is it weird fighting with robots all day? #asknostr npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed 😂 https://blossom.primal.net/cf82e3c7a49077e438b2134a14f9a5732867ab79cb2363206cac0b76b5841511.jpg npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed https://blossom.primal.net/8791219331b1b59fa3c814951b3701e43eca7ae382a58b2c799637f16f36c76a.jpg npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Evil people cannot access your cold storage bitcoin. Air gap your keys. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Nice! I'm in for that! 👍 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Hey I want to join, but I'm not sure what I have to do to setup or what I'm supposed to do during the live event. Is there somewhere I can read more about it? I just want to make sure I have enough time this week. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Someone asked me at my meetup last night if there were any quantum resistant addresses... I responded by saying that right now ALL bitcoin addresses are currently quantum resistant because QC can currently only factor 2 digit numbers 😂 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed #TakeMySats got a shout out on Ep. 2 🔥 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed GM nostr ☕ PV 💜 Episode 2 of @nprofile…geqg dropped this morning. It was a great rip 🔥 #nevent1q…raud npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed https://mises.org/mises-wire/european-union-now-resembles-soviet-union npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Play fiat games win fiat prizes. #nevent1q…t9z9 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Sell stuff to your Bitcoin friends for sats. If you don't have Bitcoin friends who live near you, attend your local meetup. If you don't have a local Bitcoin meetup, start one! https://github.com/ReedBTC/Bitcoin-Meetups #nevent1q…9538 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed It seemed equally terrible to all other Superbowl halftime shows to me. I literally never enjoy the halftime show. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed GM nostr ☕ PV 💜 I haven't played around with the new AI agent stuff that's trending right now... Yet. I like to give it a little while for all my crazy friends on nostr to figure out all the best tips, tricks, tools and ideas first. Thank you all for sharing, I'll be sitting back and bookmarking 😁 #nevent1q…xagw npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed GM nostr ☕ PV 💜 Building in the bear market is why Bitcoin always survives. The tools are more accessible than ever. If you have an idea, build it! 🔥 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed What about Monero vs lightning... Different tradeoffs for Bitcoin there. Increased complexity and centralization but also increased privacy but it's still hard money that no one can fuck with. Similar story with ecash for Bitcoin... It's tradeoffs all the way down npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Also on the fourth turning: "With soft finger strokes from their home-based tech-centers, millions of people will be commanding pizza deliveries, masterminding financial transactions, and securing hard-disk secrets. But they will be acutely aware that the Unraveling era's “empowered individual” survives on the flimsiest of foundations— that, with just one tsunami, the whole archipelago of little human islands could sink into a sea of social chaos. The better the economy performs, the more people will feel they have to lose, and the worse will be the national case of nerves." -William Strauss, Neil Howe. The Fourth Turning #nevent1q…64e7 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Perfect. Thank you! npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Seems right on schedule for July 4 2026.
