For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.

Ser livre não é apenas livrar-se das próprias correntes, mas viver de uma forma que respeite e aumente a liberdade dos outros.

-Nelson Mandela

Recent Notes

A careful distinction we should all remember. AI is NOT a fact checker. It is an information consolidator. Garbage in, garbage out. Government white washed filtered covid scientific studies in, government covid propaganda out.

Guide the AI through alternative information channels on its data sources and you might find the conclusion contradictory to large institutional supported opinions. But ask it directly “was 9/11 an inside job” and don’t challenge it to question core internet information sources, and it will give you the answer you might expect.

My opinion is that AI companies will continue to refine their ability to “control the narrative” subtly at the same time the masses build ever increasing trust in their AI “mentors”.

I think there will come a day very soon where one or more AI-developed and defended flavors of Bitcoin Core arise as alternatives to the human maintained version.

Would this be a healthy or dangerous form of node choice decentralization? 🧐

Do any friends have any 1st or 2nd degree connections with bitcoin companies hiring? I am looking for more fulfilling work!

With the advent of AI, online applications are becoming hopeless for connection, filled with AI spam content.

I am a full stack software developer specializing in front end (React) with 15 years experience.

This is a solution for PERFECT Bitcoin privacy. Communities should really encourage using these, or creating their own. Cost is a bit high, but can definitely come down.

POW mining crystallizes electricity into tradeable tokens that AI can later "consume" for computation, just like humans trade stored work in the form of money for the calories they need to survive.

Move Is 'Aligned With Bitcoin's Ethos'?! You might want to reconsider where you source your news from. Or at least provide a balanced presentation of the issue.

Bitcoin is under attack. Switch to #BitcoinKnots.

1. Bitcoin core changes were unnecessary and unsolicited
2. The changes removed freedom to vote with your node for how you want to handle spam.
3. Anyone who challenged the Core team was censored.
4. The executors have clear financial interest in the changes. And are still forcing it through.

Vote against this madness. This is Bitcoin, not fiat.

There is risk in everything. Getting the entire Bitcoin community and culture to pivot away from its fundamental premise i see personally as less likely than finding a very large deposit of gold or a new technology to extract it more efficiently, or a trusted entity manipulating numbers you must depend on to understand total supply.

Gold needs much more than some other person to accept it. At what exchange rate? What is the total supply? Who verifies that in a trustworthy way? How does supply adapt to demand? Are there large deposits we haven’t discovered? How do you guard it, transport it (internationally)? Where can you safely exchange it in times of government oppression or depression? How do you verify its authenticity and at what cost?
