I'll be discussing AI + Bitcoin for the self-hosted sovereignpreneur stack today at 2pm at the Genesis stage
Come say hey! https://npub148hn8mqmrwpmdh0lzskv9x3z0f8y76e7n9c4ftgw5evpq7pnaevqewgqrr.blossom.band/1fd77771f6f7b48f9980692358acd855a95334f0c770e27029e1a15a48c1f570.jpg

I know drinking's not cool anymore but for those of us over 35 willing to admit that it's fun once in a while, here's my post-alcohol supplement stack for optimizing sleep after a night of self-inflicted poison:
1. Magnesium Glycinate about an hour before turning in
2. Lemon water + baking soda
2. 1 dropper of CBD oil just before bed
3. Glycine + CBD + Valerian Root in the middle of the night when you wake up with your heart pounding
4. Wash everything down with electrolyte water (sugar free)
5. Wake up, work out, spend quality time/breakfast with loved ones (for the oxytocin)
6. Suggest everyone leaves the house for a while, take more CBD, put in some ear plugs, and take a 90-min nap.
After all that, assuming I had no more than 3 drinks the night before, I've found that I can have an almost normal day.
One might think it's easier to just not drink; but the truth is it'd be even easier to just be 22 years old again.

Everything by Daniel Suarez is epic. Check out Delta-V and Critical Mass now, great exploration into human capitalism in deep space.

Does it have any input mechanism besides the button

Haven't been on Nostr in a while. It's nice to see some non-Bitcoin themed posts.

2025-02-21 21:52:33 GMT

We have made it to @npub1tw4…6nwr headquarters.
First stop was the 80s Cafe where they use Blink wallet and blast Van Halen, Bon Jovi, and The Police music videos.

Is attention becoming the internet's fiat currency?
Human creativity once mined attention like gold... authentic content was the bedrock of online value creation.
Each piece required time, thought, and genuine human insight.
But today's landscape has shifted dramatically with the introduction of a new monetary policy:
AI's printing press.
The content marketplace is experiencing an evolution:
• the noise is getting louder
• attention spans are shrinking
• content is getting less human
AI tools can generate endless streams of attention-grabbing material, flooding our digital economy with low-effort content.
Just as printing money devalues a currency, mass-producing content without human insight devalues attention.
So what does this mean for creators?
The fact that such content is able to gain such viewership makes me believe that traditional creators/influencers will grow to be less & less concerned with their actual authenticity...
Because scaling their output is going to become far more important, in order to compete for attention amidst the AI-generated noise.
Traditional creators will face a brutal choice in this new economy. They can either:
• Maintain an "artisanal" approach while harnessing AI, crafting high-quality, authentic content at a human pace
or
• Merge with AI and join the race to scale by sacrificing quality and human creative input
The market pressure is clear...
Which brings us to the deeper cost of this attention economy:
Humans use language as a tool, but language is AI's fundamental reality.
When we too fully rely on its cognitive abilities, we start to lose sight of our own, until we don't bother using them at all anymore. This process will make us even more robotic, more complacent, more... malleable.
On this trajectory, nuance will eventually only exist to the extent of the the AI's creative or reasoning constraints.
And that there will be the limits of human critical thinking.
When we outsource our creativity to AI, we don't just change how we create, we change how we think.
I think the next era of content will determine whether attention remains a meaningful measure of value in our digital economy, or whether it becomes so inflated that we need to find an entirely new currency of online worth...
The challenge for creators isn't just about maintaining relevance; it's about preserving the very essence of human expression in an increasingly automated marketplace of ideas.

So much has happened with huge implications for the future of humanity in the last 7 days, I'm struggling to process it all.
Craziest is that half of it seems to have come out of El Salvador.

SovereignPreneur Reflection Moment:
For 6+ months now, we've been throwing spaghetti at the wall trying to build a business in El Salvador.
Turns out we've been building several...
We just didn't realize it.
Putting the pieces together has been a lot of fun, because the most everything had already been built... we just had to discover where they all connected.
From retreats to online communities to media production and content creation, we are finally launching a MACHINE that I've been dreaming of building for almost 2 years now.
Here is what our early stack looks like:
• Wordpress for webpages (self-hosted)
• Kit for emails
• Zapier for automations
• BTCPayServer for Bitcoin payments (self-hosted)
• SamCart for fiat payments
• Skool for community & courses
• Senja for testimonials
As you can see, we're almost fully reliant on third party services.
Once this is all up & running, we intend to phase out each third party app and use an open-source alternative for each one instead.
So far here's all I've got:
• Mautic to replace Kit
• n8n to replace Zapier
I don't intend to handle credit card payments on our own, and thus far I've never even heard of a FOSS testimonial app.
Meanwhile, if anyone's got any tips for self-hosting a dynamic information community, I'm all ears...
Discourse and nodeBB fall a little flat,
HumHub is too Web 2.0
and Mastadon seems to not worth it in the age of NOSTR.
Does anyone know--are there any tools out there for creating a private group/community using NOSTR?
If anyone would like to work on something like that, send me a DM.
This has been another SovereignPreneur reflection moment.

Big week ahead:
• our second Build in El Salvador retreat
• @npub12td…cfnq doing media at Adopting Bitcoin conference
• I'm moderating a panel about medical data sovereignty with @npub1dmn…3kv6
• I'm playing a set of covers and original songs at the @npub13lj…cfhw afterparty
Noteworthy to mention that st that last one, we'll be announcing Bitcoin: The Musical...

I went from calling myself an "artist" to "creator" and finally to "entrepreneur" before realizing that all 3 are required for success.
Learning content and business allows us to create masterpieces by monetizing the most powerful force in our life:
Creative energy.
Once this can be harnessed with harmony, we are unstoppable.

El Salvador is adopting Bitcoin!
And honestly the deeper you go, the cooler it gets.
Here's a vignette from a hospital in San Salvador implementing a sovereign health identity system using the NOSTR protocol.
What's super cool about @illuminodes work is that their software not only ushers vendors into a new paradigm of data management,
but it's also modernizing their basic operations like accounts and scheduling (which they'd never got up-to-speed with in the first place).
I'll be hosting a panel about this initiative at Adopting Bitcoin 2024 this November, which is the mega high-signal conference for people serious about building real-life tools inspired by magic internet money.
We'll be discussing the future of healthcare and what decentralization experiments like this in El Salvador could mean for the world.

It's only after you stop and examine the realization of an idea from thought to reality that you understand how much work is required to retain the clarity, persistence, and quality required for success.

all I have to do on X to get engagement is mention El Salvador
I am excited to play a new game on Nostr.

What's the best route to take to get video content seen on Nostr?
I can only upload photos on Primal.
I'm open to running my own relay to host it but need pointers for the video visibility side of things.

Truth is a metric for knowing thyself.
Ignoring the truth is to ignore the self.
Ignorance of the self leads to a lack of truth.
These people seeking power never saw the value waiting within, and instead seek it without to fill a gaping void they will never understand.
... either that or they're aliens

Being in the business of empowering others can be weird.
On one hand, you want to sell things for lots of money.
But on the other hand, your mission is to help them develop more sovereignty over what they do.
So unless you get creative, your success renders you irrelevant.

2024-08-20 17:59:06 GMT

There's a lot waiting for us if we just decide to open our eyes to it.
As for me, I struggle with attachments to my ego's desires in contrast to the reality of my goals.
Sometimes the value we want to provide is not actually as valuable as the value we do provide...

You're the only one who can save yourself.
More Bitcoin or a "better" political situation = just another excuse to hide from the truth.
Own the truth by showing your face and speaking your piece.
There's never been a better time.

2024-08-19 17:28:03 GMT

Everything we consume online is foreign matter, non-native to our human minds.
Our perception of the world is a reality created by the leviathan curators of narrative.
Solution: follow creators focused on authenticity. They show their face and their message rings true.
The rest is noise.

One thing fascinating about the times we live in is that a 20-something can go off to learn about life, tweet about their youthful revelations, pass it off as wisdom to those who never took the time, and build a business off it.
Personal growth becomes the ultimate opportunity.
