Hot off the encoder a new This Week in Bitcoin 🎉
I watched the HBO documentary claiming to reveal Satoshi and alter the course of the election, so you don't have to!
The whole thing leans on two critical bits of evidence, which I get into: https://www.thisweekinbitcoin.show/episodepage/the-satoshi-distraction
The episode includes a bunch of other news and a bit of a rant about why I am sick and tired of this constant hunt for Satoshi. Enjoy 😆

Is there way for a pleb to listen online to the ham radio chatter coming out of North Carolina?

2024-10-03 23:12:55

This entire thing smells like an attack on Trump by using hype around Bitcoin and Satoshi to draw attention to it and make a connection to someone politically toxic. A pathetic October surprise.
https://m.primal.net/LKVS.jpg
Cullen Hoback is making it. He is known for his series "Q: Into the Storm," which "exposes the QAnon conspiracy theory."
That is already a red flag. But the tease for the "documentary" is also revealing:
➡️ "If its findings are widely accepted, the disclosure could send shockwaves through world financial markets and even the U.S. presidential election, given the way Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump has cultivated the support of Bitcoin enthusiasts."
https://www.politico.eu/article/mystery-creator-bitcoin-identified-new-hbo-documentary-satoshi-nakamoto-crypto-currency/
The Bitcoin community should prepare for the anti-Trump crowd to put this "documentary" on blast after it comes out.

So I'm curious what Nostr thinks will happen next? Pump and crash? Nothin but pump? Something else?

GM ☕
I'm prepping for an end-of-summer Linux news round-up episode today of LINUX Unplugged. This summer, in particular, it feels like not much has happened in the last couple of months, and then this week, everyone is back to work. News is dropping like crazy, and we have a packed show.
I dream of a future where LUP takes the summer off. Embrace the lull!
Then come back roaring 😺
I'm opening the stream with the arrest of the Telegram CEO. We have to speak up; Telegram is just the beginning—a trial balloon.

Long term though, I get where they're going. If they would have built the app this way from the beginning, it would be perfect. So a transition is understandably going to take a little bit of time.

2024-08-14 23:01:14

👋 Hey Nostr friends.
I won't do the plug thing much on here unless it's really worth it. I think this one might be. Over the next few weeks, as we get closer to the Fed cutting rates, you're going to see politicians, the fed, analysts, and the media say "the battle against inflation has been won!"
I dedicated this week's episode to why that's probably wrong, and how that might impact Bitcoin: https://www.thisweekinbitcoin.show/episodepage/23

Nation-states and the media will never stop attacking Twitter.
Today, it's been made clear that Nostr is the only long-term viable free speech platform. Everything centralized will become the mainstream media.
https://m.primal.net/JrXT.png
And the press' incentive is obvious: take these centralized competitor platforms down to their level: https://www.techmeme.com/240807/p7#a240807p7
Twitter will always have a direct attack vector, whoever is in charge. Right now, that's Elon: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/07/uk-riots-elon-musk-accountable-to-no-one-uk-tech-minister-says.html
You see, the riots in the UK are all Elon's fault. Not the last 40 years of shit policy, not the last couple of years of astronomical inflation, and certainly not because people are at a breaking point.
Through their mouthpieces of correct information, they'll tell us that if it wasn't for that evil Elon and his radicalization platform, spreading disinformation, things would be fine. We should let them solve the problem. You're too stupid to sort out reality from cheap fakes. They'll imply that they are the experts and that average folk can't sort out truth from misinformation without their help. And right now, they are helping us, by attacking Elon and Twitter.
But it's not really about Elon or Twitter. That's just today's problem. It's about controlling the narrative in an age that is getting increasingly difficult. Whoever or whatever gets in the way of that will constantly be attacked. Through the complicit media, they will find a soft target and relentlessly attack, even if it takes years.
Mastodon is even worse and more straightforward to attack. It just needs to be more relevant to the matter, but once it does, it will be under attack, too. Compared to someone like Elon, who has a massive reach and resources, it will be relatively effortless for the state(s) to go after these Masto instance operators.
Nostr is the only thing built to solve this at the protocol layer.
You probably have figured this out already, but it crystallized for me this morning.

Just booted my garage server after 24 days of downtime. The old Super Micro takes SO LONG too boot, there is ALWAYS a moment when my heart sinks, and I am just positive I’ve lost a disk.
And then, somehow, every time, five or ten minutes later everything is online, and working fine.
How long will I get away with this 10+ year old server firing up? No idea. But thankful!

It doesn't have to be a vacation, just get out somewhere great and take a little time away from it all. Not everyone has the option but if you can, don't wait for a week of down time. Just try to get out and work remote.
This was my spot that I recorded the shows from last week.

I’m considering hosting a live stream next week, and help the Jupiter Broadcasting community sign up for Nostr. I’d like a signup workflow I could recommend. I’m hoping to encourage the curious to play around and see if they like it.
But I am no Nostr expert, and I’m also looking for any tips I could pass on to help them stay secure, and get the most out of it.
Any ideas and suggestions would be helpful! https://i.nostr.build/dwkrv.jpg

GM 👋 it's a busy Sunday at JBHQ.
Today is episode 555 of Unplugged, and we will test Nostr as a back-end for our webchat. People who have never used #Nostr before will be showing up and need to get set up quickly.
If you're around during our stream today and can jump in the web chat to help folks get started, that would be super helpful for us and smooth out the onboarding for them!

2024-01-15 23:47:51

This is Ian Sherr..
Ian claims Google and others are doing layoffs because we're "seeing the growth of AI a lot more than we expected," so the "tech world" has been "forced to re-think the way they do things". After all, "consumer and business adoption" is growing SO FAST.
So Ian, are you just gaslighting or whitewashing the glutinous tech over highering during COVID-19?
Ian describes himself as a "news AI-startup founder & tech contributor for CBS."
But the best I can tell is he's just making shit up that fits the "AI is going to steal yer jerbs" narrative that he and others like him have been FUD pumping for the last 8+ months.
It's a big tech spin and denialism about a building-crushing recession all in one stupid package.
The logic falls apart; there is no serious adoption of AI at scale. There are lots of ideas and tons of hype. But AI is not revolutionizing 25+-year-old companies in six months. They don't do anything in six-month time frames.
The entire idea that an AI boom is forcing layoffs is silly. So we're just left with layoffs.
The question is, why now? Are they bracing for something?
