AI is heading down the same ad-driven slope that turned Facebook and Google into engines of manipulation.
But could the financial resources of Bitcoin whales + tools like Goose & Bitcoin open the door to a new path: building models that are open and decentralized?

Google just unveiled its “Cloud Universal Ledger” - not really a blockchain, but a centralized database aimed at the stablecoin market.
Big Tech edging into money raises a bigger question: are banks being quietly replaced, and how does it all eventually come back to Bitcoin?

Tether, Stripe, and the banks are duking it out with rival stablecoin models, each of which is shaped by its own profit motives, interoperability challenges, adoption pathways and regulatory frameworks.
Bitcoin, however, may rise above the fray as the only truly open, neutral settlement and interoperability layer, a sharp contrast to the litany of fragmented, proprietary intranets.

BitChat, the P2P messaging app launched by @nprofile…zj6n last month(!), is evolving fast:
In our latest PBJ, the crew breaks down: 
• Mesh networking and geo-hashing basics 
• Lessons from Clubhouse and Google Buzz on quality and scale 
• BitChat as a platform vs. everything app, and Nostr as invisible infrastructure 
• Future applications: LocalBitcoins, compute markets, open AI platforms

@nprofile…zx9t, founder of The Bitcoin Layer, joined us @nprofile…3skh to sign copies of his new book Bitcoin Age and lead a wide-ranging Q&A on reading markets, the dollar’s future, and Bitcoin’s long arc.
Key takeaways:
• The 2-year yield beats the Fed as a forward indicator.
• Liquidity = bank balance sheets, low rates, and low volatility.
• Stablecoins are Eurodollar 2.0, pulling dollar power back onshore.
• Bitcoin’s growth follows a power law: address² × price³.
• The yearly debt roll (now ~$75T) can persist for decades, and Bitcoin can rise alongside it.
• Endgame: Bitcoin as the market-chosen neutral settlement layer for global debt.

Google’s latest AI data center deal adopts a model long used by Bitcoin miners: demand response.
For years, miners have leveraged this flexibility to earn extra revenue. Google’s move suggests the model is no longer unique to them, and that competition for flexible load opportunities is set to grow.

Hi Diyana,
Thanks for your interest! Our presence on Nostr has been a bit spotty, but we did share the event widely through X and LinkedIn.
The event was invite-only, with a focus on bringing together participants who could contribute valuable insights as either speakers or attendees. That said, we did have a public application process open to everyone.
We’d love to have you involved in the future! Be sure to follow us on X (@PresidioBitcoin) to stay in the loop on all upcoming events.
Warmly,
PB
