Last Notes npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra oh, i see i would need a Pixel 8 or 9... hmmm npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra would you install it on your current phone or just get a second old phone and install npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra sounds fancy... it would maybe make it a more distinct feel for "Off" "On" closed--open feel. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra shoppign now. i'm expecting the next one i see to say "you can't even dial a number" npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra would Graphene force me to not listen to youtube podcasts? only allow 2FA & Whatsapp? looking for these things, i found "the light phone" and their website is so basic it's reminding me of a Portlandia sketch "battle of the gentle bands" that youtube randomly showed me last week. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra the joy of a simple Casio watch is inspiring me to pursue a flip phone as well or something less than a smart phone. I just need whatsapp and 2 FA . anyone have a setup that works? npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra on hodling goes against the words of Christ: wasn't Judas the wallet keeper? to me it looks like He just farmed out the question to someone else to deal with... tricky that One npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra some say "Hormooze" some say "Hormuse" i rhyme it with "booze" do you rhyme it with "confused"? npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra thanks for the question, makes me feel smarter than i am. i just heard that the prediction market jumped to a much higher probability for the rate hike at some point. some people say the stock market will use AI to power incredible returns. others say it's going to suck the P/E ratios down from 25 to 10 in the next couple years... i don't know if we ever faced rate hikes with potential alien disclosures either... what i'm curious about is: has bitcoin already digested that possibility in real time, while 500 companies are still doing the math on their quarterly calls. what do you think? npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra i'm testing a shiny new argument for people to diversify into bitcoin: the argument is: bitcoin has already priced in the Iran war. it has also already priced in the possibility of rate hikes. the rest of the stock market with quarterly earnings and no clarity has not. it would be wise to sit in the thing that has much more real-time reactivity and not the thing that is stable simply because it's waiting for 500 individual companies to figure out how all these things affect their bottom lines. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra the clarity word reminds me of a Jeff Walton quote about "illiquid assets in liquid stock tickers" the entire stock market is that way, quarterly earnings, etc, so everything is priced on a delay. not a lot of clarity there. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra oh, true. crazy how basically All of the system operates on claims that someone else is holding for you. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra what will happen to checking accounts? npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra "but first let's go get some caffeine" -- with that much energy, they don't need caffeine! i'm scared to see them with caffeine npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra ...holds the most clarity? npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra sorta tangent here, but i was just thinking about kids learning evolution in school. it seems so anachronistic now-- a state religion that keeps the working class exactly that--working class. my observation of rich is that they are either light or dark or gravitating one way or the other but aware of the spiritual. even if i didn't have a christian view of the situation, i would be more likely to suggest we are an alien breeding project rather than an undirected evolution. it seems so weird that kids in 2026 are getting indoctrinated that we came from apes because we look the same. what is a way to introduce kids to multiple viewpoints without leaning heavy into faith? npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra it definitely synthesizes well all the stuff that you load into it it needs pushback from time to time. sometimes it gets things reversed. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra woah just watched that, that's hilarious. is that why all the astronauts are sheepish when the come back npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra i would pushback on 4b: STEM is practical skill no. 5 absolutely :D npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra they need to post this on the job description npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra i had to look it up. pretty amazing. 3 astronauts are going to do a loopty-loop of the moon: "first woman, first Black astronaut, first Canadian to travel to the vicinity of the moon" the obsession with all the "firsts" kinda worries me, but it's crazy that i haven't even heard about this and I am in the "3I Atlas " timeline cohort. https://npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs.blossom.band/b292466db303a296935803e7b905fa65d8dc160749dda43fcbd851eb608fe15a.png npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra It might not be hard to train them to caw "Bitcoin". Wait is the word gull actually the sound they make npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra STRC is the solution npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra heh yes, that's how i feel about him. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra yeah, if had just read labels before taking medicines/vaxes, i wouldn't be taking it in the first place. i kinda see it like smoking weed. it takes me to a different place... do i want to be there versus here? sometimes. but usually not. i'll take some spike proteins running around npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra i'm kinda being silly, but the few weeks i took it were some of the weeks i totally stopped thinking about bitcoin. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra i lose my interest in bitcoin on this thing. it's like Bitcoin addiction medicine. i was doing it for the "spike cleanse" benefits, but i also noticed i lost interest in endless Bitcoin content. then i read the label, and it's used for treating OCD... npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra my takeaway from a quick search: i should probably do some more deep research not just Claude for things. however, in this case, the story seems to add up. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra just had a conversation with my dad about the thesis that money is a form of energy--i think it was Breedlove or Saylor. he quoted E=mc^2 that stumped me so i pivoted and told him about Ford's idea for energy currency. then i researched Ford's idea more. both Ford and Edison were thinking along these lines the story is actually quite interesting now that i actually read the whole thing. ---------------take it away Claude --------------------------- The Setup — a stranded asset In December 1921, Edison and Ford drove to Muscle Shoals, Alabama to see the unfinished Wilson Dam, which had been under construction since 1918 to power nitrate plants for WWI explosives. With the war over, investment had stalled. The government was caught between issuing debt or outsourcing the project to a private company. Energybackedmoney Ford proposed to lease two federally owned fertilizer plants and the hydroelectric dam for 99 years at a cost of just $5 million. Investing.com The brilliant financial argument Edison thought it was madness that the government had to pay $66 million in bond interest to generate the $30 million needed to finance the project — meaning bankers would profit $36 million simply for buying into an investment backed by the full faith and credit of the US government. Medium Edison's razor sharp point was: "It is absurd to say that our country can issue $30,000,000 in bonds and not $30,000,000 in currency. Both are promises to pay: but one promise fattens the usurer, and the other helps the people." Cryptonews Ford's exact energy currency formula Ford specified: "Under the energy currency system the standard would be a certain amount of energy exerted for one hour that would be equal to USD 1. It's simply a case of thinking and calculating in terms different from those laid down to us by the international banking group." In other words, Ford was suggesting a currency backed by kilowatt hours — more currency units would only be created if more energy was expended. VOI And Ford's argument for why energy beats gold: "Here you have a river capable of furnishing 1,000,000 horsepower… This energy is wealth in a productive form. This site, with its power possibilities, will be here long after the Treasury Building is a ruin." Cointelegraph Edison's famous dismissal of gold At the Muscle Shoals press conference Edison famously said: "Gold is a relic of Julius Caesar and interest is an invention of Satan. The probable reason why it is retained as the basis of money is that it is easy to control. And it is the control of money that constitutes the money question." Medium Edison also went further — a commodity currency Edison proposed the US dollar be backed by the agricultural production of American farmers, specifically 36 different commodities including cotton, wheat, barley, rye, hay and oats — designed to be inflation-proof and eliminate the centralized power of the Federal Reserve. Medium The grand vision Ford had for Muscle Shoals Ford visited with Edison in 1922 to promote the plan, laying out what the region could become: "I will employ one million workers at Muscle Shoals, and I will build a city 75 miles long." Onramp Bitcoin He envisioned factories and farms integrated together — essentially a utopian industrial city powered by the river. What killed it Political opposition, concerns about private control of public resources, and banking industry pushback. Ford withdrew his proposal in 1924. Investing.com The dam was eventually completed and operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) under FDR's New Deal — government owned, but without the energy currency component. The Bitcoin punchline Bitcoin fulfills Edison's vision of an "energy dollar" by using proof-of-work to tether a currency's value to the physical consumption of the megawatt. Modern energy firms are increasingly using Bitcoin mining as a "buyer of last resort" for excess electricity, allowing remote or stranded energy sources — much like the 1921 Wilson Dam — to be instantly converted into global capital. Energybackedmoney The parallel is almost eerie. Ford had a literal stranded energy asset he wanted to monetize. Bitcoin miners today do exactly that — they plug into stranded or excess energy anywhere in the world and convert it directly into money. Ford was just 100 years early. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra Uhoh! Well I feel sorry for whoever has to fix it. Does the employee app have any Bitcoin integration? npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra so i decided to forge ahead and test their "recurring purchase" feature and hope that it only charges a fee on the first purchase. so on $100 dollars, there was a $1.99 fee. so after my purchase went through, i'm only down 2% on the day. i will see tomorrow if the 2nd recurrence gets a fee or not. the transaction history tab doesn't even load after a few seconds of waiting so at least i can't see the spread they charged. i can't believe Walmart would have such an uncompetitive product. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra my Walmart ONePay app Bitcoin experience has screeched to a halt. i decided to put 300$ in bitcoin on their bitcoin platform to sell at the register to pay my groceries every few days. On a $300 purchase there is a $5.25 fee Plus the bitcoin price is 69,420 and they show a price of 70,400. Plus... their app is glitchy. it's nowhere near as fast as CashApp. plus it's just trashy with all those other Crypt0s i think i'll just swipe my credit card which charges Walmart 2% and pays me a cashback, thank you very much. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra yesterday someone on here offering $10,000 for a job on here maybe the same could be done for help finding a woman. i've got to find the post. will be interesting to see if the thing works npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra Mrs. Richards: Don't be silly. I expect to be able to see the sea. Basil Fawlty: You CAN see the sea. It's over there, between the land and the sky. Mrs. Richards: I'd need a telescope to see that! npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra that's a good description. it got stuck on one detail of the conversation and then it was weaving that into every response... i can see why the defense department would probably be better off with Anthropic. i've been using Claude to read transcripts of every youtube video that the algorithm recommends me. so now i basically see how the algorithm sees me. but when i switched over to Grok, it got stuck on a "red bull" from a Prof Jiang conspiracy about needing to sacrifice a red bull on top of the mount of Olives. "olive" reminds me of a Pop-Eye the sailor man plot. so anyway, the rest of the conversation, the "Red bull" thing kept popping up. it's at the point where Grok is about as good as the dog that sees the squirrel. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra The Walmart OnePay app where you can buy Bitcoin also has a news feed. The Bitcoin convo is dividing this swiss family. I'm planning to buy Bitcoin in the Walmart app and sell it every time I get to the register. It's a dumb idea since they charge a 1.5% spread and a 25 cent fee... But maybe they will get the idea to incorporate lightning? But refill on the other hand is like 0.5% spread last I checked and no fee to buy Walmart gift cards. https://thecryptobasic.com/2026/03/25/swiss-banking-family-rift-erupts-over-bitcoin-strategy-triggers-leadership-exodus/ npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra polish it up npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra i ran out of my free claude spins yesterday twice... seriously considered the upgrade, but then i jumped over to Grok. it always happens when i'm having a boring conversation. it almost feels like Anthropic is like "nothing to learn from this person, let's charge him." i also have a psychological stickiness to one over the other. since im just using it for random questions and reviewing transcripts, i dont really need Claude specifically. so it's weird when i seriously contemplate 17$ a month just to have the Claudspeak that i know and love. but maybe the $17 a month is when it crosses over into psychosis. so i got to hold this line. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra ok, now i'm looking up how to update StartOS to 110. Claude is in chill mode til 9pm npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra Too cute. Hold the pump on there to make sure the electrons don't spill out! Mask for fumes I guess npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra Funny. So tempted to click now. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra sydney opera house esque npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra or the shape could be made in wax, then dunked in plaster of paris--> wax melted out--> metal poured in claude tells me, if you round the sharp corners, it still preserves the characteristics and becomes a "cinquefoil" like a flower. --not sure if that's right, but claude insists it has Five fold symmetry ✓ Phi ratio between inner and outer path lengths ✓ Continuous single loop core with no gaps ✓ Hamiltonian-Eulerian path property ✓ this should be able to be made by a skilled ceramicist, not much different from a bowl. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra i had to ask how the flux will make it around those bends... apparently this can heat up a little but could be nothing w a little thermal management ... hmm npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra when all the bitcoin runs out...and you've orange pilled the neighbors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCO5VJzD2fw npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra oh, pottery class...that's also a great place to meet women. throwing clay the answer to all our questions might just be there npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra do you know anyone with a metallurgy shop? mechanics generally have welding tools...but that's not what you need. small-scale manufacturing plant for building prototypes. wonder if university/trade school would have something npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra trying to get warm. i have lived in areas with much worse insects. i'm grateful . but i have just started flushing them instead of releasing them outside. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra that's bizarre that you have those too... it's that time of year. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra ok, paper clips don't work as a core... you're going to need some heftier manufacturing. this thing could be used in regular transformers already... can't rememebr if i said this already but the geometry might make the transformer more stable... could be interesting against solar weather... this thing would have to use some glass insulators to float in the housing... Corning makes those... they used to make dishes. my mom invested because she likes Corelle plates. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra you know, i'm thinking a circuit board could be a good starting point. some paper clips twisted into that shape soldered together... or maybe they aren't "ferrite" enough npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra ok. so apparently normal transformers don't have overlapping coils on the core-- usually cores are circular. at first i thought that was an issue that your coils don't overlap each other. now my brain is wondering, how do flux lines and the pentagram shape interact... "every electromagnetic ration in the device is a power or phi, every resonance is harmonically locked to every other resonance, and every bar is used exactly once by the continuous flux path"... ugh. math was never my strong suit. fun to think about tho. stretching my grey matter this early npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra i have a cousin who's an electrical engineer. i'll let you know if she says it's going to suck your house into a black hole. you're going to be rocketed back to Oz as Dorothy i;ll be tin man. we're looking for Mr Oz. not sure who will be the witch. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra if only Nicola had had NOstr npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra ok, on further looking, it's a fancy transformer. i remember the science class AC current explanation. 10 loops of wire around a coil for one circuit. 20 loops of wire for the other circuit and it steps the voltage up/down. this thing is using some golden geometry to hopefully create some resonance. best case --> free energy worse case --> cool transformer that might have unexplored applications the pentagram is just a coincidence -- it's useful geometry and a funny side note npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra it's all over my head, but you did figure out how to say "sinter" . it sounds like you're getting back into industrial processes--which kinda got wiped as people sitting behind screens became a thing... which also probably meant that all the fancy metallurgy and material science required to get to the moon got lost in the digital CAD drawings. so if claude can lead us back from the digital into the real world to create something, that would be cool. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra ok rotating around to another angle, it looks like you just made the pentagram fire from the Olympics -- is claude joking around with us npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra i managed to make a big purple explosion... did Claude make all this too? pretty incredible sliders and such. it's like an physics lab in a web browser. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra Yeah. I'll have to dig thru to find the animation . I cruise nostr with the images turn off unless I click on the links. As of this week, Claude makes entire dashboards with adjustable sliders now, completely unprompted in order to answer questions. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra i had to ask Claude, what it was going on about pyramids. with "triangular of triangular". so it really is just an interesting coincidence . claude responded with a little diagrad https://npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs.blossom.band/7b177ed9d58fb63e75834f72911c540301d294650e3cf8a1501ace0417abe868.png npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra i assume it jumped out of the trunk as soon as the opened it. i don't remember the end, but the car was kinda totaled. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra Someone mentioned bro trip. Reminded me of some dudes borrowing grandma's Lincoln for a night out. They hit a deer 🦌. They put the dead dear in the trunk to carve up at home. It woke up, and put hoof mark dents outwards on the trunk. And blood everywhere. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra some good questions from an uncle about bitcoin: one about how will it resist a government that has almost endless resources --> i said eventually thermodynamics will take over. the one i couldn't answer was: how each copy of everyone's transactions was maintained. that part isn't actually protected by cryptography or is it? it is electronic and digital, and nodes/miners are online so theoretically everyone's timechain be updated to a new timechain. kinda like if everyone's copy of the 10 commandments were digital, and someday they wake up and find that there are just 9. it's a big lift, i'm sure but could it be possible? npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra good advice. i've observed about as much. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra Kokinda, yes, love the optimism from someone that doesn't seem like a candidate for being a propaganda spokesperson. and of course it's easier to blame the british for everything... but even Alex jones on his recent Jimmy Dore appearance,says he thought Trump was the lesser of two evils, however he now thinks Trump just used Kennedy, Elon DOGE efforts to gain power over pharma/mic with no plan to expose, just continue the blackmail, etc. "So instead of getting rid of the global new world order, he's creating a new new world order." "And so he's become Darth Vader." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QflZZLXvhBk npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra this graphic that Phong Le posted shows 3.4% Btc/share growth year-to-date. so that is 16% yearly dividend if that were to hold. according to Claude, https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HDjNk6HWAAAOBR4?format=jpg&name=large i got Claude to do this comparison of Strategy to "energy/pipeline" stocks which yield 4.5%. of course this is all silly comparisons, but...

Do your own research. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra what's happening ? npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra are they getting rekt with the rest of us? serious question, how do we know that the rekting was targeted enough. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra wait a sec... you mention AC current running through wires, but the fix is to stop using Wifi. is the problem the AC current or the wifi? npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra yes, that's along the lines of what i am thinking about him. maybe i'm just overly conspiratorial. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra hah! i'm looking in the mirror on this one... and basically thanking lucky stars that no one listened to me ever to buy bitcoin at 100,000 plus. my friends and family are impervious to whatever scams i fall into. they have started just started excusing my brash bitcoin statements as unpleasant behaviors of a gambling addict. meanwhile, i do use bitcoin to pay rent: super convenient & efficient for that. i also use it to buy gas at Sheetz, groceries at Walmart. i've even used bitcoin to top up a bounced checking account on a saturday instantly... this would have taken three days at normal bank speeds and probably some 30$ fees: i sold bitcoin on cashapp on a saturday & hit "transfer instantly" to my checking account. bounced checking account be gone. at the speed of a click also, i now manage someone else's lightning account on my own self hosted Alby. I feel like a banker, but it's so much better than a normal bank. they are getting satoshis+ instant settlement on their phone. if my customer wants to check out of the lightning network, i can just flash their balance onto a SatsCard and they can keep their key under their mattress. going to a bank teller and getting a lollipop is fading into the rearview mirror. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra yeah, i should tone my criticism a bit. he's charismatic and interesting. i've learned some things from him. charisma doesn't do nuance very well, so it makes sense he would just paint bitcoin as "controlled by them" and the same with political/religious opinions. it's a valuable discussion to have. i did find it interesting that his content was getting promoted to a boomer friend. i can't shake the feeling that someone was paying him to create the anti-bitcoin and eschatology content and serving it up to people that that would disgust. the boomer friend definitely distrusts bitcoin, is anti-war, horrified at weird "christian" cults and unhappy with current state of affairs. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra which if he is like peter zeihan with his take on bitcoin going to zero at 16,000, maybe that's a good signal. doomfluencer taking a victory lap before being forgotten. the future is bright as we want it to be. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra he's an interesting listen. i stopped listening when he said "bitcoin was created by cia" then he started spouting some nonsense about how christians want some sort of third temple in the middle east. it's just propaganda. he happened to get some things right. peter zeihan 2.0 npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra i met someone last year right before vibe coding was a thing who taught himself javascript just to make a calculator that didn't turn every fraction into decimals. i still use his system to help with measuring. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra just one question about retuned gasoline engine on a bike running on hydrogen... is it noisy? it always kills me how noisy those gas powered bikes are... i would be too ashamed to ride one. although they would be safe since the noise lets the drivers know there's someone on a bike npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra darn, it's on the blink again. i repurposed an old Dell XPS, so i think i'm hitting it's capacity. unless other Start9 users have the same issue. the other problem it may be-- does the ALby Hub freeze when it needs more liquidity? npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra uhoh, i may have to steer clear of that mountain... i wonder how smaug would feel if we tell him that according to science textbooks, we are burning his ancestors in our vehicles npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra i've drunk so much coolaid, that i have a ghost man on this base: Trump is going against globalists, specifically British empire interests and elite who rule the US via CIA/elite for the British empire. "ghost man" is a term we used to use while playing kickball with less than enough players to cover the bases. there are too many theories to proscribe to all of them. i have a ghost man who says there are aliens on the moon, seen by moon missions, and another ghost man that says we never went to the moon, and i'm trying to hit a home run theory to make it all possible. video below claude summary: Main argument in simple terms: The video claims that the current fears about an oil shock (caused by the US-Iran war) are deliberately manufactured by enemies of Trump, just like in 1979. The 3 main points: 1. What happened in 1979? The Shah of Iran was building a modern, industrial Iran — nuclear plants, steel mills, independence from oil exports. British and American financial elites (the "globalists") didn't want this, so they helped overthrow him using the Muslim Brotherhood. The result: an oil crisis that hurt France, Germany and the USA. 2. The same playbook today The same "globalists" want an oil crisis now to hurt Trump economically, so Democrats win the 2026 midterm elections and Trump's economic program dies. 3. "Unconditional surrender" is the cure, not the problem Iran under the Mullahs was installed as a permanent weapon against Western economies. Removing the regime would actually free Iran's oil and stabilize the Middle East. https://youtu.be/C8tv3bZOC5Y npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra and it's back. not sure if the restart did it or mentioning it on Nostr. i'm pretty sure i restarted the server several ties to no avail. every time i complain about a tech issue on here, it magically resolves itself npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra ok, i'm convinced. funny that you get the "go sleep". i get the "go hang out with people" npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra i'm just projecting. i'm getting a sort of hot/cold relationship with this AI business. im tempted to filter every slightly uncomfortable text interaction thru AI to get it to help me. which it does very well with suggestions and stuff. i don't have my foot-in-mouth as much, but then i feel like it's air brushing everything and might as well just replace me at work and in relationships etc i view this AI business as more of a boxing match. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra claudespeak. when your enemies can't get you on board, they can give you a fabulous philosopher friend and make you forget that you're supposed to be preparing for battle. i'm joking. but seriously, Mleku, you went 180 on llms... still can't quite get 100% comfortable iwth it. but i read all that, it's interesting stuff. things i would have never known about or read about without having this living book pop it all out. the end of the idea of finding the "open sesame" to get into treasure mountain, is that these tools are treasure mountain and we are already inside staring at all the treasure. just don't wake up the dragon Smaug... npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra i remembered to restart the Start9 server... so doing that now npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra interesting. i was just joking. i have felt like there's a treasure hoard in it somewhere if i can jsut say the right prompt. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra i've bricked my self-hosted ALby node. i've tried restarting the hub, but when logging in i just get "App is Busy" error npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra ok, i'll replace my "open sesame, treasure mountain" prompt with this one... npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra i already am chatting with AI about it.. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra Claude is my favorite--philosophical inquiries or feeding it high IQ stuff off of NOstr or youtube that i don't understand and then asking questions about it. i've started playing favorites with LLMs-- the least favorites get all the menial work. npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra what's going on at tesla? don't they still need to be doing the CapEx hyperscaler route of investing a bunch into growth? npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra i had to take a look... it was 39,000 on March 4, 2022. then it jumped to 46,000 by April 1... before grinding all the way down to 16,000 by november 2022...! yikes npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra yes, truth is i still routinely spike my blood insulin levels but on stuff like sourdough bread that I want to eat. although, it's possible to like oatmeal after a while... salt and honey was my jam. i think our guts get used to it and then start demanding it. but i'm kinda convinced my grandmpa's rheumatoid arthritis was partially due to oatmeal everyday. we don't have rumens npub1g49uyac6d83sss7sln8aumsstle7m3wxwwvc8mmpqsnr8e9f2cdq6ltqvs gojiberra are you having this issue too?
