Welcome back! After the Biden administration persecution of Wasabi Wallet, I was unsure you would be back, and I am quite glad you are.

The best Bitcoin privacy wallet is here again, new and improved!

Are you aware how things are with the current Trump administration? Tings are way better for Bitcoin with this government, but I have not found news about Wasabi yet. I am referring to Operation Chokepoint 2.0: https://beincrypto.com/phoenix-wasabi-halt-us-services/

Phase 1 is in progress. Just check the news, and the huge financial interests influencing Bitcoin Core developers, and the overall concentration of Bitcoin in centralized exchanges and ETFs.

The main solution is to use Bitcoin as a medium of exchange, and resist the mermaid calls for yield, and loans, and fiat for your Bitcoin.

Bravo!

Thank you for the most balanced, honest, and technically sound discussion on the whole OP_RETURN subject.

Add whatever is relevant.

AI Agents, and the Model Context Protocol are driving innovative new uses of AI for code, and also for regular people.

MCPs are behind most of this new Agent functionality, and is a good background to have while you use this new libraries.

For those interested here is the original intro by Anthropic, the company who created and open sources MCP: https://www.anthropic.com/news/model-context-protocol

And here is the docs from them: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/mcp

Infowars speculates based on evidence that the collapse of the Iberian Peninsula grid is because of over reliance on green energy, which provides little in the form of excess power or resilience.

I tend to agree, but we need more data to confirm what seems to be obvious.

Peru is a gem in Latin America.

I have friends in Lima, the capital of Peru, and I have visited many times. Lima is beautiful, and despite security issues, it is very livable, and it's right next to the Ocean. If you like to surf it is a paradise, the food is incredible, and it rivals the top food capitals of the world including Paris, Barcelona, NYC, Mexico DF.

Venezuela was an amazing country before the Socialist takeover, and they seem they intend to be in power forever just like Cuba. A crypto friend of mine is based there, he is Venezuelan and gets paid in crypto so he is doing fine, but even he tells me he might just have to leave because of security concerns, blackouts and other political related issues.

I am Canadian, this was a tough day to live through.

No, he did not.

But he was part of it.

The opposition, meaning the Conservatives led by Poilievre had run their own campaign to defeat Trudeau who was hated by most Canadians. When suddenly he quit, and his party brought an "outsider" a banker from the Bank of England, someone with an apparent good resume, the Liberals were back in the battle.

All the attacks against Trudeau where suddenly neutralized, since the "new candidate" was going to be more like the Conservatives: remove the carbon tax, and be less anti-business. The reality was that Mr. Mark Carney the new candidate who has lived outside of Canada for many years had been involved in Canadian politics on the background all this time, and was an advisor to Trudeau.

Trump's 51st state was the added unpredictable factor, suddenly patriotism in Canada meant support your government, the same failed government that has decimated Canada's economy for almost a decade. Poilievre's platform suddenly became quite similar to Carney's Liberal platform, and then the dice were set.

Poilievre was afraid to go truly Conservative, he was the light version, or the slightly more conservative version of the incumbents, and then many Canadians made the wrong decision and re-elected the Liberals.

Indeed, and now it seems the dreadful Liberals - NDP coalition will be back.

If you read the whole announcement, the business is not just to buy, hold and give access to their Bitcoin treasury, they intend to build financial software that uses Bitcoin underneath:

"Twenty One is structured to be a day one Bitcoin-native company that will strategically allocate capital to increase Bitcoin per share. Twenty One intends to develop a corporate architecture capable of supporting financial products built with and on Bitcoin. This includes native lending models, capital market instruments, and future innovations that will replace legacy financial tools with Bitcoin-aligned alternatives. As a pro-Bitcoin advocate, Twenty One plans to produce original Bitcoin-focused content and media. This pure-play approach will offer investors access to a public company that combines Bitcoin exposure with an operating business building Bitcoin-native products and services."

Claud is the best... but yeah this sucks anyway.

The best advice I can give you is to have a preamble, meaning a set of instructions before every prompt, the preamble should insist you value accuracy above all, and want reliable responses every time. After the preamble you write your prompts.

What LLM are you using in this chat exchange?

Happy Primal customer here, just one request: make it easy for people to share their Nostr user everywhere, on their blog, on their X feed, on LinkedIn etc. This is usually called the follow button, here is the one from X:

There is even a UX that lets people customize the button and have it ready to go here: https://publish.twitter.com/#

This way people hear for the first time about both Nostr and Primal, and a few will actually follow us.

To me it's a discussion that contains a valuable link, or the reverse! ;-)
