I've got the clanker clanking today. nostr has to be the easiest thing for agents to build - everything is open source!

I definitely do not know what is going to happen with the price of Bitcoin, but I think that just like when we were under the previous ATH ok 20k in 2022, I think we'll look back at sub 70k Bitcoin in 2026 as a gift.

Was just thinking about this last night.

Idk, I go back and forth about prediction markets. Insider trading isn't the problem, it's actually the differentiator that makes these markets more accurate... You want anon insider trading.

But the oracle problem is real. And when markets get big enough you're not betting on the future, you're creating it.

I'm not sure what that's really going to mean long term. But it seems like the genie is out of the bottle now right?

Last point is the big one. Now we need to wrap our heads around this new incentive structure.

Fabulous articles. Well articulated and concise. I was wondering about one part and interested in some elaboration. In your A Theistic Perspective on Money and Bitcoin article you start off describing...

Wow thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

On Money is the Root of all Evil - honestly I was mostly speaking to the commonly held belief that money is the root of all evil simply so I could articulate my disagree with that position. So I think we agree there.

On the Gold stuff, honestly I hadn't ever put that together but is pretty cool! I'm not really a gold guy so I don't know all that cool gold lore and whatnot like I know bitcoin history. But yea my thoughts on what it was like in The Garden are really just my mental construct of what it might have been like there... I think there's so much we DO NOT know about The Garden that no one here really KNOWS what it was like there. But yea, I haven't dove deep into that either, so I'm not surprised I didn't know details like the one you pointed out.

Thank you!

This is basically all I use Opus 4.6 for these days:

## Opus - Check my Code
Can you review all changes made since the last push for security, vulnerabilities, unintended data leakage, or other best practices that should be implemented. Also check the new code to make sure it also is following good coding practice and is reasonably effective and efficient. Let me know what you find, the severity & implications, your recommendations to correct any issues, and how large the scope of the fix would be. Don't fix anything until I approve your recommendations or indicate an alternative approach.

Interesting to see Bitcoin fiction, it can help people understand the tech and its potential implications.
