Anybody saying you should bootstrap instead of taking capital is usually wrong. If you can bootstrap then your business most likely has no inherent competitive advantage.

your actions either help build the world up or help burn it down, there's no in between.

they need friendlier names for sure. hard to remember off the top of your head that NIP-19 refers to pub/priv key encoding, NIP-05 refers to domain-name ID, etc.

I think software developers today often are pessimistic because their past work, which was fueled by optimism, was co-opted by companies for evil.

Software developers on a whole dismiss bitcoin blockchain. It’s sad… I thought we were supposed to be the future-forward, optimistic, inquisitive builders?
Not saying we should all agree on it, but I mostly have seen outright dismissal. It’s always best to think from first principles.

It’s too interesting and valuable to not catch on. Not every big app or platform has inherent virality, a lot of times things just get shared because people like it.

Kudos to Nostr for having specifications that are very simply written.
I can imagine that they are underspecified if I were building on top of them, but as a reader and learner they are fantastic.

Can you explain? Wouldn’t it make more sense to the government to build on its own blockchain? They would control most of the nodes and trust themselves to back the currency rather than someone else.

2024-12-18 12:27:29 GMT

I feel like the arguments here are tenuous. Obviously the US is not going to go the way of El Salvador. They could theoretically try to influence the bitcoin-core codebase, but if it got bad enough nodes just switch to using a new codebase.

yeah good point probably wouldn't want to buy a TPU right now even if you could. my current frame-of-reference is around Macs which usually don't have this problem. I got the m4 pro Mac mini and I am really glad I did. At the time I did not have any concrete uses for it but almost immediately I was able to find and start working on projects that the great RAM + storage + CPU/GPU cores unlocked for me.

I think I answered my own question and this is in the realm of very hypothetical since getting to whatever a "maximum difficulty" looks like is hard to define and it doesn't even really matter since most of the supply is out there.

2024-12-14 02:40:29 GMT

so ive been reading the whitepaper, the bitcoin standard, and trying to onboard to the bitcoin-core codebase as part of learning about bitcoin.
my main concern around hodling bitcoin was quantum, but it seems that there is already a BIP in progress to address this.
now i am wondering about free energy and moore's law... what happens when the cost of energy goes to zero and/or asics reach 1000x current efficiency. can mining difficulty increase infinitely? maybe by now this doesn't even matter because the vast majority of bitcoins are already released?

2024-12-14 02:32:36 GMT

ive been bitcoin pilled and now im here. helloooo
