~3.5% of GDP projected for AI buildout over 2025-2032.
For context, that is nearly double the railroad boom.

The difference is likely fiat vs. sound money standard. Look out below? 👀
Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson on the US-China relationship.
"This is what I would call a period of mutually assured economic disruption, which results in a kind of stability. Not from t...
"Each side wants stability" Paulson claims, as his key assumption to US / China relations. What bullshit. China does not want kinetic war, but this should not be confused with stability. China is actively supporting and pursuing policies to bury the USD -- ie, a full on economic and monetary war. In doing so, China is leveraging the US' own actions (ongoing, increasing and huge deficit spending) against it, while stacking gold and undermining the petro-dollar, etc.
Good morning
Perhaps it's easy to move on from coldcard if you didn't personally get rugged, but we must never forget our fallen brethren... Good honest bitcoiners saving for their futures and famil...
What incentive did Coldcard have to intentionally create the vulnerability? I do not see one. So was it an unintentional error which no one found in open source code for ~5 years?
I feel horrible for all involved. Because, at the end of the day, the only people we have to blame are ourselves. We each choose the trust that we extend. And, we are also the only ones that can forgive ourselves and move forward.

On this day, 55 years ago in 1971, President Richard Nixon suspended the convertibility of the U.S. dollar into gold. This suspension effectively ended the international gold standard framework of the Bretton Woods system.
I just rolled 2x 16 sided dice + 1x 8 sided dice 300 times and fed the results in to Claude.
Apparently one of the 16 sided was biased and the final comment on the others was “you’ll be fine usi...
Thank you.
Self custody, like freedom itself, is hard!
Compounding the fear and emotion, it used to be that single sig was sufficient.
Interesting how perceptions change.

Very sad, for everyone.
I remember a local story of parents whose son was killed in a high school shooting years ago. Small town. In the wake of the shooting, the parents of the victim had the strength and love to reach out to the parents of the shooter and invited them into their home. They forgave. The love healed the community and made it stronger. Hugely inspirational for me.
There is strength in our Nostr community. There is strength in us Freaks. We help each other. I think it is why we all spend time here. We are family. There is love and forgiveness. For everyone.
People need time, and that is okay.
But, for one, I hope @ODELL finds peace, and comes back soon. 🙏

LUKE DASHJR SUGGESTS SEPT. 1 FOR BIP-110 PROOF-OF-WORK CHANGE BTC HARD FORK

Feels like the BIP 110 fanatics need to breath deeply and spend some time unplugged, in nature. Their concerns feel like an unhealthy paranoia.
i made some blackberry vanilla mint ice cream yesterday. raw milk, no sugar-only honey & maple syrup, topped with black currant. 😮💨 life is good.
Sounds awesome. Easy recipe? I dont have any special appliance, but would love to try and make it.
The failure of academia over the last 50 years is tragic and angering (as I think of the massive misallocation of resource which the cost of education represents).
This failure has helped the decline of the middle class and hurt many generations of hard working poor people -- while benefitting the ruling class.
Ironically, this is exactly the situation which Karl Marx fought against over 180 years ago.
The Austrians still have an extremely important role to play.
