You can lose health (and you will) and you can lose people (and you will). That's why the relationship with God (a.k.a. the Spirit of the Universe, a.k.a. General Loving Energy) is the key.

Yesterday I drove around LA visiting merchants that accept Bitcoin to onboard them to @Club Orange

One of those is a pizza place that gives a 70% discount when paying in Bitcoin. Yes ,70%.

I couldn't meet the owner so I left a voicemail and my business card.

This morning I found out he signed up with a lifetime membership and added an entire section about Club Orange on his website.

Nobody talks about this enough, Bitcoiners are the most generous group of people you'll ever meet.

A 70% discount and a lifetime membership from a cold voicemail. That's the whole Bitcoin merchant adoption story. Not a conference. Not a panel. A voicemail and a business card.

What the economic rationale for a 70% discount and converting it into bitcoin vs receiving in fiat without discount and covering that into bitcoin?

there's a simple way to know if we have reached AGI:

we train a model on pre-2008 data only

ask it to solve the double-spending problem in a decentralized & permissionless way

if it invents Bitcoin from first principles

we have AGI

just so we're clear:

miners are the employees of the bitcoin network

the employers are:

- people who hodl bitcoin and pay miners via inflation (block rewards)
- people who use bitcoin and pay miners via transaction fees

nodes are neither employees, nor employers; they are the enforcers of the employers desires

the end

True!

There is no employer of sound money. The nodes are the soul of Bitcoin - they determine consensus by independently validating every rule and rejecting anything that breaks them.

AGI is probably the single most bullish catalyst for bitcoin. The world is gonna get weirder, faster, and trust in institutions will erode. The need for neutral, permissionless, censorship-resistant money will explode

Absolutely, AGI will accelerate systemic unpredictability. Makes neutral, permissionless money not just a convenience, but a necessity. Bitcoin fits that role perfectly.
