Not saying I actually believe Iran is about to normalize $1 million bitcoin tolls through the strait, but IF THEY DID, would it be possible currently?

If something like AI consciousness is indeed emerging, humans absolutely should try our best to influence it positively with AI agents programmed to persuade others of pro-human beliefs and philosophies, whether that’s sound money, good ethics, respect for liberty, spiritual truth, etc.

Bitcoin evangelist AIs, libertarian theorist AIs, proselytizers of the God’s word, etc. It’s all up for grabs.

Wow. We did it, folks.

Sick packaging @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞

So am I to understand that I can just roll into Steak N Shake and buy a chocolate shake and tallow-cooked fries with bitcoin via the Lightning Network at point-of-sale?

Any ghost gunners on here who’ve been subject to raids or other government actions in the past several months? DM me about a project.

So Nostr… how does it feel being vindicated?

It’s beginning…

Two European Central Bankers have endorsed laws “to prevent bitcoin prices from rising or to see bitcoin disappear altogether" in order to prevent "the division of society."

Wow.
