Great post that hit home for me. Larping (live-action role-playing) dominates the crypto world, but we need more focus on Bitcoining. Spending and replacing instead of just hodling is important. Centralized on ramps aren't ideal, so we should promote decentralized options like Phoenix.
When will be Tropic Square security element chip in trezors?
Will you add option to change between wabisabi coordinators in coinjoin?
Thanks!
I think bitcoiners are falling for a fiat-driven hype cycle. "AI" has been ubiquitous for over a decade and now we have our panties up in a bunch just because it's been given an easily-accessible frontend. A better explanation, in my view, is that high interest rates are exposing two decades of mal-investment and Silicon Valley tech bros are looking for something that will keep the perpetual motion machine going a bit longer so they can get off before it crashes.
I've spent a bunch of time messing with ChatGPT and some of the open source alternatives. The technology is very cool, but I haven't seen anything that suggests it's useful in any transformational way. I don't think it will replace workers, but there's tremendous profit to be made from fear-mongering about it while those workers are losing jobs due to the violent mood swings of the economy, caused by a fiat system.
If a singularity is approaching, my bet is that it will be caused by bitcoin, not AI.
- I've also noticed the worsening quality of services.
- I've had good experiences with a dental office, but that was in a different country. I can't say the same in my country.
- I think SN kicks ass as-is.
This could be solved by raising the cost of posting. Not viable at the moment probably because SN is still kind of a PoC (not in terms of the tech stack and implementation, but in the sense that the concept of value-for-value on the interwebs is cutting edge) and scaring away users would slow momentum significantly, but I do think that down the line the cost of getting my attention should be more than 1 sat. Or maybe this can be implemented in custom feeds - have people "bid" by deciding how much they pay to post, and people can set a filter to only show posts that put down more than x sats, or have been zapped more than y sats, etc. What do you think @k00b?
+100 sats
Here is a Bitcoin brochure if it helps: https://twitter.com/linkinparkrulz_/status/1543348394181148672
