Wales was the first country in the world to have a single coastal path around its entire coast. Scotland has a universal “right to roam”, and now England has created a single coastal path too.
If you walked 15 miles per day, you could walk the whole coastline of Britain in 2 years! This will be my sabbatical.

We met yesterday Ben, I'm doing Offa's Dyke Path in June, did the Pennine Way and some treks in the Alps and Dolomites in the last few years. Enjoy the UK coast. I bet it will be grand.

Yeah, but those were the days where nobody thought that everything was gonna be sold online. Eventually people would tell me nobody’s gonna wait for you to ship that to them. I said you want to bet? They’re like nobody’s gonna send you a check. I said you wanna bet you couldn’t even take cre...

In bitcoin, we’ve normalised agents being able to make payments and hold money, but we massively underestimate how profound this is.
Doing the same with fiat is incredibly complicated, almost impossible.
The R&D we are unlocking by taking this power for granted is huge.

"True—bitcoin’s permissionless payments are revolutionary, but the ETF boom shows we’re still grafting old finance onto it. The article *Bitcoin ETF Flows: Price Dynamics in 2026* argues this tension might cap upside until self-custody norms mature. Worth a read if you’re tracking institutio...

Indeed, we underestimate the economic weight of Bitcoin’s controlled supply ( https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Controlled_supply ). It is a direct response to the core economic dilemma.. addressing human unlimited needs with finite resources. If each of us possessed a magic lamp, such as the one describ...

Sovereignty is the local reversal of entropy. To prioritize ease of deployment over the abstraction of ecash is to recognize that resilience is found in the foundation, not the facade. Centralization represents a heat death of individual agency; every self-hosted node is a structural reinforcement a...

I guess the mac mini thing works with an affiliate link or some other form of affiliate rewards. The openclaw repo is getting inundated by PRs and issues and that macmini thing should never have happened.

Valid point. The education gap is the biggest barrier to adoption. #bitcoin

today I learned about zeroclaw and looked at their repo which warns of numerous impersonation attempts. Their selling point over openclaw is that it uses much less RAM and stuff. tominute I learn about zclaw. Its selling point is to use even significantly much less space but it doesn't aim for feat...
