Last Notes npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I don’t necessarily disagree. Lyn didn’t say exactly what Napier thinks govt would do so I’m guessing what I think is the most common claim: they co-opt a few entities that control a large (and growing) portion of the UTXO set and either outright seize it, or do something else like a forced fork onto “gov chain”. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan *don’t see npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan ETFs/Coinbase and Microstrategy at the present time. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan What precisely is it about improved coordination that negates the financial repression tools which Napier claims will destroy Bitcoin? npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan The solution is that knots create a version of Bitcoin that does everything except financial transactions. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan It’s not quite that stories are dangerous; stories are powerful and often useful. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan It’s really amazing. The interesting thing to me is that I get it now more than ever— even though I run shorter distances and with less intensity than I used to. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan When I go for a jog these days, I’ve noticed a large amount of increased insight and clarity of thought in recent years. Feels like my IQ goes up a full 5 points. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Maybe I’m dumb! npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I don’t mind well targeted ads for businesses that I want to support. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Ok, this was funny. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I think so. I would make two bets about where we’ll be in 10 years and am trying to figure out the implications: npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Bitcoin == sats in UTXOs npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan It’s never the countries you expect. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan This video is super heavily edited to the point where it presents a false narrative. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan - I’m quite angry about men competing in women’s sport worldwide npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Europe still hasn’t learned the concept of peace through strength. It’s embarrassing TBH. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Hehehe npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Apps crash must less these days now that most are written in Swift and Kotlin. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Oh, it came out in 2019. Disqualified 😭 npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Once upon a time in Hollywood npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan The world will get better with Bitcoiners continuing to do their thing in various ways despite your black pilling. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Protests are primarily performative. The young people in this video are the same as the BLM/Antifa/No Kings clown shows that we see today. They’re attended by a mix of astroturfed organizers, wealthy white retirees, and clueless young folk who have zero idea about how the world works. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan The original agorists of the 1970s would be very psyched to know that people of 2025 use open-source apps that natively handle self-sovereign digital money. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Libertarian on Earth npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Are you sure they paid extra fees in order to get into the block vs it being down to sub-optimal fee estimation? npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I mostly detest the TV show Black Mirror these days because it’s so relentlessly cynical about the tech industry, but occasionally I’m reminded that they are inspired by real world dystopian shit like Worldcoin. 😔 npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I think that’s a fake account for PeterMcC. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Everyone is catching up on their podcasts today and smash buying. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Antoine addressed this at btc++. Not sure if it was recorded but I’ll try to dig it up. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan It’s kinda orthogonal I think - you would want human readable names which couldn’t come from elliptic curve keys. So the question is how do you come up with these names and do so in a way that aligns incentives during growth of the network? Bitcoin didn’t have to deal with this type of challenge. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Mining as it relates to asics is about generating SHA256 hashes, so I don’t think they would be repurposable for generating vanity keys. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Centralized systems do seem to provide a variety of extra ways to monetize the product. I think Microsoft struggled to monetize Skype when it was a p2p architecture and moved to a more centralized architecture at least partially for that reason. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan If your contention is that because the bulk of this money goes to specific areas of the university, the letter should say it’s only those labs that should adopt the specified policies (and fix the overly broad mask thing), then I can only conclude you’re not debating in good faith and we’re done here. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan They *are* free to do so. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Nobody is demanding them to improve that, though adhering to the requests for more balanced hiring practices will no doubt improve the quality of their humanities courses. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Specifically, what? npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Is that your main issue with what the letter is requesting? npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan It’s effectively a rating system that indicates the number of bureaucrats, lobbyists and politicians involved in bringing the product to market and getting a piece of the action. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan An understanding and expectation of societal rewiring. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan LOL. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan A collaborative multisig based replacement for ICANN would be awesome. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Literally just set this up last week. It’s a PITA. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Yeah Dynamic Island is a solid feature, I use it all the time for the stopwatch. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Is anyone building a home server Nostr bridge that integrates with a local LLM to filter the feed? npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Nah. Don’t touch it till we have functional client side AI SDKs from Google and Apple in the next year or two. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Moon was directed by David Bowie’s son, Duncan Jones. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan 🤪 what nonsense. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Hah. Yep. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan It’s hard not to love Peter at least a little bit for his earnestness. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan https://image.nostr.build/61f724a60c6ff13c02e947c504d5f0fb73177c054192ab944709881e7be6bcec.jpg npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan “Bitcoin is digital gold, which is better than analog gold. So let's create a Bitcoin reserve” npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan AirTags but with Nostr. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan The news was oddly buried under a slew of BS ‘Circle launching tap to pay with USDC on iPhones” stories like this one. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I like that it’s metal so I can stamp my seed words on the back. #note1n5q…pay4 npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I used to eat steel cut oatmeal and blueberries every day but noticed it made me incredibly sleepy, and then I found out about the glycemic index of oats. Felt totally scammed. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I watched him on Rogan, Theo Von and listened to his (mostly torturous) live X space with Elon - which was where Elon pitched him cold on Doge, as an aside. All live, unscripted, and extended performances. And just today i watched him speak impressively back in 2016. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I imagine NASA is very high status still, so gets top class applicants and has a culture of+ability to maintain high levels of discernment for applicants. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Ok, what did you mean by “Trump is literally ancient”? That he’s capable but less capable than before? Is that even a point worth making? npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I don’t think they’re perfect, far from it. But “Trump is cognitively incapable” and “Elon spends all day on Twitter” are lazy, unserious criticisms that deserve a response in kind, sorry. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Well, yeah - it’s not directionally peaceful, but at least it’s non-violent. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan The accusations of a coup seem like a form of pareidolia to me. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan ALLS I’M SAYIN’ GUYS IS - THIS IS A SPECIAL TIME. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan As we found out during covid, if you disrupt a system, it can be incredibly difficult to just get it going again. And this applies to malignant systems too. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan He looks old as shit? He’s almost 80! npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Derangement syndrome detected. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan The two highest-agency no-sleep-required mofos on the planet are working together and we may never see the likes of it again. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Oh nice. I met Steve at tabconf but didn’t get a chance to reconnect with the rest of the team that was there. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Thanks, already on the TestFlight! Been experimenting with NFC and wallets but haven’t tried out the Coldcard yet. Any plans to work with more complex functions? Curious how the Coldcard performs on iOS with, e.g signing. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Is the code for this demo available? npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan No he doesn’t, FFS. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Is the rejection due to some perceived free speech issue? npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Not sure enjoy is the right word. 😅 npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan The author is saying that they want the health regulators to have more power, and this guy in question might want to go in the other direction. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Yeah, I think it would be fun and provocative if someone turned it into a real BIP! npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Not that I know of, or expected 🙂 npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan And when he asks, he’ll ask for bits, but that’s another conversation. 😀 npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan There is a non-trivial risk that any bitcoin that you obtain today will be worth meaningfully less 24hrs later. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Willing Mandible and young Barron Trump are the same person in my mind. #note19u9…dl7c npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan She’ll rot your brain. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Thank you ser npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Nostr clients need work.

Just bits (known as sats today) and any other ‘counting units’ are up to the users to figure out themselves (like ‘lakh” in India). npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Here’s my new BIP: npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan This is all part of the new golden age of information, where the bad ideas get to live out in the open too. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I am glad that both the WEF and BlueSky exist. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan <responds with Leopards Eating People's Faces Party meme> npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Hey, Tucker’s just asking questions. 🫠 npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan He seems to deal with it very deftly, however. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Accurate. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan America is resilient AF npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Agreed, they have plenty of history there.
