Left: Grok AI

Right: my girlfriend on her iPad

Same instructions, both of them were unaware of each other’s work and involvement in this experiment

Which one do you prefer?

Over the last 22 months, I’ve recorded more than 100 Bitcoin Takeover podcast episodes in this tiny apartment room

It feels bittersweet to leave it empty and unrecognizable

But I got evicted and tonight I’ve seen it for the last time

Farewell, old desk! New adventures await

I don’t want Bitcoin adoption to get built on fake news & lies

The whole “Shakira was in El Salvador” campaign reeks of pathetic desperation and also proves how much hopium lingers on

Some people don’t care if the information is not true as long as it’s “bullish”.

Sad!

Vik Sharma didn’t join the show only to brag about the great Zcash integration and the Monero community’s reactions: he also presented a demo of the Lightning network feature, which is bound to get added to Cake Wallet within weeks.

On top of Bitcoin privacy tools such as Silent Payments and PayJoin, now users of Cake Wallet will also be able to move their BTC to the second layer in order to send transactions that confirm faster and get better privacy.

This would make Cake the only multi-coin wallet which adds Lightning support, as all the existing ones are BTC-only (unless you count L-BTC or R-BTC as altcoins).

Okay, where are we on this chart?

Colin Harper is a veteran Bitcoin journalist and commentator, whose articles you might have read in Bitcoin Magazine, Coin Central, or the Luxor Mining blog.

He famously traveled the world trying to pay for everything in bitcoin and I first met him in person in Berlin in 2019 while he was running the experiment in Europe.

I think Tone Vays makes an interesting point about the Knots faction:

they’re broke lol

I mean, what kind of person complains about spending $100 extra on a hard drive

and expects new software to run flawlessly on a Raspberry Pi from 7 years ago?
