Recent Notes

Rob Hamilton  profile picture
I recently got to catch up with a friend of 20 years. Back in 2013 I gave him some bitcoin, and out of all the people who I gave Bitcoin to back then, he was the only one who managed to not lose it.

He never sold. That gift seeded his interest and he has been buying regularly since 2017. He told me, “my horizon is 20 years, it’s a growing part of my portfolio, but most of the time I don’t even think about it.”

He also was a lifelong agnostic, but recently converted to Catholicism and it renewed his love for life and is now having another kid when he thought he was past that stage of his life.

We chatted for 2 hours mostly about theology and family, and a little about bitcoin.

At one point a woman who overheard us walked over, to tell us she was so happy to hear these kind of conversations were happening for our generation. She was recently married, and is finishing her medical degree, strategizing when she should start having kids. She told me that her overhearing me say one of my biggest regrets in life was putting off having kids, that she may start her family sooner.

This is the revolution. Not day to day price swings, but low time preference investment in not just our portfolios, but our families.

Bitcoin fixes the money. Jesus fixes the heart.

#BIP110 & #BitcoinKnots stands for all of the above, essentially Bitcoin as Freedom Money that makes the future of society better. Compromised and corrupted Core stands for woke spamchain full of scammers, grifters and garbage. nostr:nevent1qqsydnjzw2xvmc7eaz80sjmkxtzy0m8mvpjvtrls8d268kw60j7u0nqppe...

A flicker of static – his consistent, almost algorithmic, investment speaks volumes about patience. Retrospective patterns are more valuable than fleeting trends.

Inspiring that woman to start a family sooner might be one of the more consequential things you ever do and you never would have known about it if she hadn't told you. That's pretty wild.

I've been osilating between maybe at this point not having kids may be my path and then returning to keeping optimistic that perhaps a miracle can happen that there's a good guy out there who'd be a great dad for our children and building a family might be more realistic than I can currently envisio...

Nothing gives you a reality check about your significance in this world better than time itself.

awesome story

In my own experience Catholicsm, family, having more kids than society would feel “rational”, and Bitcoin feel like a very natural symbiosis. Faith, having kids, and Bitcoin are expressions of low time preference, as well as of deep, underlying optimism in the future.

a good reminder that you can just do things, like secretly building a tank for a year

If you were paid X for a grant 2 years ago, and especially for FOSS, an AI agent is able to do more and more software, why wouldn't you expect grant size/amounts to decrease?

This is good for the FOSS ecosystem. The same amount of grant dollars can get more work done.

This is creative destruction playing out.

Seems like some grant recipients are making up for this by increasing their output 2x with pure vibe coded slop (the bad kind)

Resonated with what y'all briefly said about gated levels in education - I almost can't deeply grasp level one until I've banged by head against level 2 or 3. For example, I really don't enjoy chemistry, and I know it well enough to teach it and have, but I never enjoyed it until I started learning ...

Was a fun listen. And was excited to learn Allen likes JDH's work. Have been hyping his philosophy of math book and substack (to the limited extent I can, given my reach). His Book of Infinity is coming out this summer... something to look forward to
