With infinite supply and infinite streaming, the market price of music can look like it’s heading toward zero. But here’s the funny part: the “value-to-value experience” still starts with…(check his notes) the artist. No song, no stream. No stream, no platform.
So if the price is approaching zero, that’s a market dynamic — but the source of the value is still the person who made the thing. Turns out even in late-stage tech capitalism, the creator is still doing the creating if we support sound money. Who knew?
Today I'm gonna talk about bitcoin and geopolitics. This year, my intention is to talk about what I know and what I need to learn. So...yeah, come and learn something new in spanish, today at 6:30PM (-3)
I'm curious when will Strategy recognize Bitcoin is money and not someplace to pack as much fiat as possible.
Strategy is a company based at Wall Street, which is run by fiat. Expect to recognize bitcoin as money is not just naive, it's a complete waste of time because they're not helping anyone except their stakeholders.
Expect to recognize bitcoin is the equivalence of ask a tree to give you meat.
Bitcoin becoming legal tender in the US?
Who cares? US is not going to help any bitcoiner.
Powell printing galore?
Who cares? Powell is nothing with my sats, it has no intervention.
What should we look for?
To be better every day, stack sats and stay learning more everyday.
How much runway do fiat shenanigans of printing and fighting protracted wars have?
Like...a lot.
What is the average society tolerance for bs as measured in decades?
The tolerance is high, giving them attention is even worse.
The world is probably not going to hyperbitcoinize.
I fully agree with this idea and it's not that bad. Bitcoin is voluntary, it's not for everyone, although everyone can use it, same as every thing we have available today. Recall people have at their disposal Linux, LibreOffice and other FOSS' tools to build a good computer[1]. And yet, they prefer to pay Windows and other tools. I'm not saying that pessimism in our industry is the dominance, I think the hyperbitcoinization is just marketing for VCs to put money on it.
I use Ubuntu with LibreOffice, best decision ever. ↩
AI helps a lot with editing part, giving me advices about coherence. It highlights parts I don't see when I write. But my writing mode is slow also sir.
you would be surprised by how many english speakers take my book to learn spanish. Once, someone approached at the meetup and said that he's learning spanish with Lunaticoin's podcast and my book
That's the moment when I realized I was God
Para los muchachos en español, les dejo este episodio sobre Paraguay y las oportunidades de minería que tenemos en nuestro hermoso país. Un episodio junto con @peztresojos que le dimos vuelta al asunto. Vayan y vean. Link al podcast
Now that you can connect any NWC account as source to a BTCpay server, practically you have multiple ways to use it on limited VPS (no need for heavy full node)
You had my curiosity, now you have my attention
We all want access to useful and good information, and there is a huge amount of it out there, but it can easily become diluted or weakened by fluff or slop. And the result is that we waste our time.
I have this thing with Medium. I got the premium membership because I thought ok, now that people want my money, I'll get access to better content and by Lord Satoshi I was wrong. It turns out all of them where baits, imprecise info, a copypaste from other sources and a big etc., huge dissapointment.
As a matter of fact, all the good stuff I read (currently) at Medium are for-free, not in their paywall, which sucks. And yes, found some gems inside it but not worth pay money for 10% of articles and the rest is written with dedication to attention-whore economics.
Fair point. What I was trying to say (I don't edit my words, bad habit) is when you sign an event, you make it with your own keys and (yes) the data is verified by you.
It's important to understand the context of El Salvador of why are they buying bitcoin. Before they started purchasing any satoshi, their debt was almost 90% of their GDP, which is a lot and the IMF cut off all communication, thinking that Bukele will enter in reason to talk to them, so he found bitcoin as a mean to attract investment to his country.
Meaning? Bukele wasn't interested of being a revolutionary goverment, he needed money and bitcoin ecosystem gave him in exchange of silence. While we talk about this, also consider that El Salvador is with state of siege more than 800 days, which is a little tiny detail and also recall that Bukele took the Parliament with his own hands. Seems most bitcoiners just turn around this part of the story also.
And lastly but important: ES is not turning itself in a bitcoin paradise, by not any means. Not my words but locals themselves are saying this because this was forced to take bitcoin.
So...people are using your tools and you're concerned because one guy doesn't like what you're building? People like Darth is not your audience, they're in other channel with other ideas and...more and more. My point is:
Don't waste time and energy, do your thing and keep building.
