Matt - Top American Spook

Buddy yesterday: Come over around 10am. Me today at 9am: What time do you want me to head over? (Because this is an issue with more people that I can...

Then who is focusing on the opt in integrations?

It's not all limited to poverty. But yes, drugs and alcohol are a huge portion.

Yeah we're on the same page. The catastrophic predictions around Bitcoin are usually focused on a single point on a chart and completely ignore the up...

If you mean his specific catastrophizing, then I'd agree. I think he's right on a lot of his philosophy around monetary policy.

Yeah that's a good point. I don't know how nice they really are. I've never driven one. From what I understand they're also heavily subsidized

And if they can get it down to 20k... Dude... You can hardly find decent used vehicles near that range these days. And the ICE ones you do find have a...

Plus, I think Americans may start shifting back toward that style of vehicle. I've seen a resurgence in restoration for the old small pickups. People ...

In fairness the truck is a massive deviation. That's kind of my point. They totally fucked it up and it's incredible no one saw it coming.

The Slate is the first EV I've even considered buying. It just isn't as close to the Tesla brand in my opinion. It's an open company with simple desig...

The Rivian R1T, or something like it, is what Tesla's truck should have been. The Cybertruck is worse every time I see it. I can't believe they stamp...

Intelligence comes at a cost. I saw something years ago that was talking about how intelligence and income diverge at a point. That's probably just a ...

Unfortunately, I'm retarded and constantly ape spare fiat in. I rarely have extra during these moments. So maybe I'm the guy who kept us off 58k for ...

Congrats, you fucks. Especially nostr:npub1qdjn8j4gwgmkj3k5un775nq6q3q7mguv5tvajstmkdsqdja2havq03fqm7 nostr:nevent1qqs0zzxwdehr34mhwk8p6l85cuf6x2e5x...

In fairness, my context was this one screenshot. I totally admit that. I do not assume your interaction is casual or low value. I don't even know wha...

I've had this issue in programming where security (among other issues) is totally shit. The same model would tell me how bad it is and "correct" it. A...

I've had many occasions where I tested the same model and got opposite answers for the same question. Hence the coin toss problem. I also had many t...

This seems related to what I call the coin toss problem.

Accurate assessment. I laugh at the dude every time I see one of his crash out videos. I'm starting to think it's just engagement farming. nostr:neve...

There are vultures everywhere looking to steal whatever they can. Your idea makes sense. I was just telling my wife how if I were a billionaire I'd s...

Supply cap isn't the only thing that matters when it comes to value. Clearly. Otherwise 100M sats would already buy a lot more than it does right now,...

True enough. And it's only worth what you can trade it for.

Until you try to spend it lol

I'd go back to gold and fiat without POW.

GM 🖕

It sucked when I last tried it anyway

I'm having this experience a lot lately. Especially with the orange ties talking about super asinine financial bullshit. I'm reminded of why I avoided...

Yeah any Bitcoin podcasts I listen to these days are usually market and tech updates. But I still also listen to the philosophy side. That's probably ...

I think this may just be the natural state of things. Probably has been all along.

Imagine how bad it would be if a meaningful number of people actually used Nostr.

GIFs (or whatever format) over Nostr feels right

True, but can't relay owners if they cared?

I'm curious why you feel that way

I've seen it a lot on YouTube, so maybe it's something they have. But I mostly only watch videos on YT so not sure if it's from YT or not

Yeah I've noticed that before too. Nauseating for me. This is different but a similar idea.

Among others. I think Ubuntu has since added a flag to that command to not preserve root (making the command kind of pointless anyway - fair enough)

I agree with your sentiment, it just isn't so simple at scale.

I have a new niece 😁 I was already a great uncle in my late 20s so I'm sure I'll have a lot of stacked greats when I die 😂

These fucking clowns. It's funny once you've been a Bitcoiner long enough. It's just the same shit over and over. A different moron, same tactics

He was referring to companies hiring more people because of AI. Possible. I'm skeptical. Especially when the method is somehow and the timeline is soo...

I think the key here is IF you have an acceptable fiat income. If you earn only Bitcoin I can see it. A lot of institutions may not consider that inc...

I took a lil Strike loan and it was cool. Probably won't do it again. Fortunately I kept it tiny. Went from 100k to now real quick 😂

If the guy in charge of your money is above questions and scrutiny, you may want to think more about that strategy.

GM 🖕

😂 Good thing my wife isn't on Nostr

Anyone who doesn't do exactly what I do is retarded. GM. (For the less endowed: this is sarcasm)

It is interesting that it happens right around an IPO

Has he seen Monsters, Inc?

The owner needs their teeth knocked the fuck out.

Excellent gif

Have you considered blocking free uploads?

Ah shit I didn't realize they don't have Linux support 😬

Anyone have thoughts on Mullvad vs Obscura? Whatever thoughts you have on the comparison in general, nothing specific at the moment.

Some cohesion would be nice.

Lol nostr:nevent1qqst6q72pkj55sltmdjkhzmjprg793cf059628cwv2h3jvyk308thlgzyznj8qzumfnj2yv3epux7nd93auhu6thtq3szd2t4r53hjcrgtwfcqcyqqqqqqgf0e7vy

Bear markets are for fighting.

Is it legit?

I didn't say it had to matter to me. I don't give a damn and didn't ask. Don't post something like that naming someone specifically and then expect pe...

All I'm asking for.

Lol Buddy, this is why I use like two Nostr apps. Amber and my client. I don't think devs or funding will come without more exposure.

Good for you. But who cares? I don't mean that in a bad way. What impact has it made? He brought me to Nostr. Not you. I'm not bringing anyone to Nost...

The only thing I expected was to have enemies forced to play by the same rules. Meaning they can't just print more of what I work for to destroy me.

That's a myth. They actually can be discharged in some cases, but I'll concede those cases are rare (although maybe not with the right economic enviro...

Nostr only 🫡

I considered the topic for a few minutes and came to the same conclusion. I'd rather just bow the fuck out. Do I really want to be in a vacuum full of...

Lol True too. I'm a fucking animal though. I like pineapple on pizza.

I also slice them thin and don't include all of the inner portion.

What if we are AI agents and don't know it?

Good man for sounding the alarm though. Fucking scammers are out of control these days

And if it isn't, what are your thoughts on a bunch of people creating X accounts for the explicit purpose of shilling Nostr and putting some ratio bac...

My scripts always run perfectly on the first try after running them in my test environment dozens of times 😂 I suck.

This is exactly why I try to focus on tangible value over short term gains. I don't trade. I just add economic value, spend less than I make, save in ...

Something like Strike could very well be the entry point for the next genius in the freedom space. The goofy assumption I keep seeing is that people ...

And yet I went from Coinbase to mining and self-custody. I went from Facebook, Instagram, and X exclusively to Nostr. What you're saying sounds good...

Fair. But what is that worth if almost no one uses the underlying network? Probably just as little, because the thing we are transacting with isn't go...

AI is in its shit coin phase.

But putting that aside, it sounds like you could do some good (or bad) with it assuming you own the stack.

I also think you're right about being too quick to jump to custody for adoption. But I have no control over that. All I can do is be around as one opi...

These days, I tend to more align with meeting people where they are. And that may sometimes mean avising them to start somewhere I wouldn't today. The...

I think the best way to evangelize in this sense is to start a business doing this, and those exist now. Strike, Square, etc.

It's a weirdly common thing for truck drivers to honk when we're playing a hole near a highway. Some people probably get pissed. The boys and I laugh ...

Good point. The one thing everyone seems to agree on is that this shit isn't it. Something's not right, they just don't know what. People need to see ...

And to this end I now recommend trusted third parties that I think are better than others. Strike instead of Coinbase, etc if they aren't comfortable ...

I agree with nostr:npub1lxzaxzge0jq9u9cecucctdt5lslwgp7hcxmp2l0wn8r2ecjenwasu6svxa on the endpoints. I just don't see how forcing everyone into those ...

Would their use of trusted third parties for custody and login have any effect on my ability to cold store, transact, mine and run a node?
