I think I learn the most from the plebs, since they offer up so many different perspectives and journeys to see and understand bitcoin from/through. Just interacting with them on twitter is a learning journey, though not necessarily technical in nature.

Gigi and Giacomo are among my favorite people to learn from also.

@kr dropped a podcast with Burak about ark. I thought it was a nice introduction to what ark is and the overall goals!

Implementing a new outputs operating mode to our controller's. This operation mode applies to a crosswalk, it will control a light signal with several parts and road studs. It will work with radio frequency for wireless communication between crosswalks.

Yeah, that's what really got me into bitcoin. I'm not sure it is all that common of an emotion. It comes from deeper understanding of both how screwed up the world is as well as how bitcoin works and how it could make a dent in many problems. I've spent so much of my life digging into trying to understand and mostly the more I learn the more dark the world looks. Before bitcoin my faith is really the only thing that has kept me from despair for the future. Bitcoin is very hopeful.

The iPhone 5s I had lasted for years. Loved that phone. Replaced it with the SE later because the SE was basically the same thing.

This is dope. Congrats! I hope to see some services such as @silent_link, tunnelsats etc adopt this.

One of the things people want hard money for is to make purchases. One of the things people like to purchase is art. If those two statements were the only factors involved, I think almost every bitcoiner would be on board. There is nothing wrong with using bitcoin to buy art, there would be a problem if you could not do that. The real problems, I think, come from these two factors:

  1. the inscription people decided to store their images "on" bitcoin, which is pointless , stupid, and needlessly costly -- and not just for them, it's costly for other people too
  2. almost 100% of the "art" is not really art at all, they are poorly disguised pump and dumps, draped in ugly shapes and colors. "Buy this AI generated girl in skimpy clothes! Only 0.1 btc!"

Taproot Assets fixes the first problem and therefore I think it's a good thing. It does nothing about #2, which is probably a "human nature" problem and I'm not sure it's fixable unless the scammers get religion.

Cast iron pans and good quality knives.

Well, generally any piece of high quality kitchen ware that will outlast me.

I would not gamificate it too much.
Value4value is well defined and it is what it is. But I understand there is always a need to fight against spam bots etc...
