Good morning sir, in regards to El Salvador, I had a fantastic teacher who warned me, “Numbers are suspect.” Anyone can manipulate numbers to their end. Citing a 1% adoption “nationwide” throws shade on the 8-10% (totally making this number up) of adoption within the geographical limits of the developing circular economies. In your opinion which of those two is not significant?

Bitcoin news and economic news update. Today I cover five years of El Salvador’s Bitcoin experiment, the latest push for crypto market structure rules under the CLARITY Act, U.S. inflation falling to 3.4%, and Blockstream launching trustless swaps between Bitcoin’s mainchain and Lightning Network. I also get into Bitcoin miners competing with AI hyperscalers for power, an autonomous AI agent exploiting a gym booking system, and two more reminders that bridges and altcoins remain excellent places to discover new ways to lose money.

1.1k I miss an episode and it's the one you guys give a massive shout out to @npub1cvcgs83gw… ! This is the #valuechain, high velocity exchange builds capital, especially if that exchange causes a chain reaction of capital to propagate. Not just financial capital (btc) but also intellectual, experiencial, social, cultural, spiritual, ect. This is how the world we want to live in gets built by participation and cooperation, big or small. The key right now is velocity in my opinion.

Bitcoin affords us the ability to move financial capital unimpeded. Bitcoiners can utilize this power to reduce injustice. This article by Shadrach offers some good food for thought on the subject:

721 The biggest problem with the old way of podcasting is that the podcasters are monetizing thier audience by selling someone else's stuff via sponsorships. Podcasting 2.0 monetizes the actual value the podcast delivers. Start a podcast to sell your value not someone else's slop.

Thank You Sir When it comes to pooling tokens for AI usage, the best way in my opinion would simply be to donate sats to teams who use ppq.ai (PayPerQ). Every prompt and response is simply priced in sats and taken from your balance. I've found Kimi K3 is excellent at finding obscure bugs and security issues (I use the PI harness and the PPQ API). The utility is very real. Though it tends to run too fast and furious for my taste, and I don't trust these things as far as I can throw them. So I made it a "slow thinking" skill that forces it to literally slow down and wait until I fully understand what it's doing. I think it pays to keep a real life human mind in the loop when working with LLMs because real thinking requires contact with physical reality, and LLMs have none.
