Hi @Edward Snowden I was wondering what happened to the computer you used in 2016 during the Zcash Sprout ceremony

I programmed agents to analyze other Bitcoin and crypto podcasts:

The guests they’re inviting, the hottest topics, the most popular talks of today.

I read the report every morning at 9 AM and do the opposite.

Everyone invited on other podcasts? I avoid them for a few months.

Topics that others talk about? I barely mention them.

If I do choose to follow the trend, I do it from a completely different angle.

There is no value in being a relay for something that’s already being discussed. I can rarely beat everyone else in the race of presenting the information first due to the guest scheduling process. I don’t consider my personal input on news to be very valuable.

So I seek guests willing to do their own thing. Talk about something that’s currently not very popular. Or have incredible exclusives that my competitors cannot get. But everything should stay evergreen and/or write history.

The fun part begins when I notice that other podcasters are copying me. That’s how I know that I’m still ahead of the curve and I offer valuable information before the law of diminishing returns kicks in.

It works out pretty good and have a really smart audience that makes me proud. Not mere numbers, but names: people who listen carefully, interact, provide feedback or insights, appear to care about the show.

If you’re also a content creator and you’re reading this, try to be different from everyone else. You may not have access to the stories that break the news. But there are so many great stories out there if you know where to look!

Tomorrow I’m interviewing Mike Belshe, CEO of BitGo

Join the livestream at 11 AM EST / 5 PM CET

It will be fun, I promise!

Kimi K3 suggested me some SEO optimizations for Bitcoin Takeover

They take a couple of hours to complete

But instead of doing them myself, I programmed Cursor agents to do them

Except that my server host has blacklisted their IP addresses

So now I am running a local qwen 3.8 27b model to take the instructions from Kimi K3, as distilled by Cursor, in order to hopefully do the work

The work could have taken me 2-3 hours to complete. But instead, it’s taking 2-3 days

AGI is here!
