Happy Halving! Since we pleb can't do any on-chain transactions (hope you have your lightning channels open), here's something to do instead - listen to the conversation about Bitcoin native finance. Because when the moon comes (and it will!), you definitely don't want to

I've seen this worrying tendency (mostly among the Bitcoin community, but mainly because that's my crew) of overpromising and underdelivering. It reminds me of the ICO shitcoin craze of token for revolutionizing something completely and when you raise money, you don't have any incentive

I like the "fear is the mind killer" mantra (or any version of it, such as the elaborate Fear Setting exercise). But although it's nice to point out what fear does to mind, the true power arises when you realize you need it yourself. In that

Strong Towns is a very interesting book, combining complex systems approach, decentralization, (anti)fragility and architecture and human relationships. It explains why most cities are broke, why infrastructure is falling apart and suggests a better approach to building cities. Highly recommended reading.…

Computational approach to reality. When studying computer science ("informatics" in central european curriculum), I did not get the vast usability of this approach to many other fields. We have learned about what is decidable, how (asymptotically) complex a computation is, the universality of computation and many topics, hidden

Help me understand this part of a common woke narrative (also known as mainstream). With the keyword being understand. A banker called me today and she mentioned some ESG investment fund (of course I'm not interested, because the only ESG investment I'm interested in is called
