@MoneyBadgerPay @blinkbtc wen Primal wallet integration? (and please put this content on N*str - I never use X anymore - so I can zap and repost!)

People Want To Use A Lightning Wallet And A Lightning Wallet Only: "The coolest characteristic of MoneyBadger and @blinkbtc's Lightning integration is that it’s open-source and permissionless innovation. Other wallets can simply integrate the solution, become interoperable, and increase their customer base in South Africa in one sweep. They don’t even have to talk to MoneyBadger or Blink." - You can talk to us though, we're always happy to help push Bitcoin adoption in South Africa! #opensource #bitcoinismoney blink.sv/blog/lightning…

A guy built a fake band, put it on Spotify, and 80,000 people had no idea. Then it got even weirder and the tech behind this is wild: - Used Suno AI to generate every song sounded completely real. - Created AI music videos with fake members and faces. - Built fake bios and a Tokyo address to sell the story. - 80,000+ monthly listeners, fans had it in their Spotify Wrapped top 5, merch was selling​. - Community sleuths exposed it and the AI-generated hands in the videos gave it away, creator traced to Europe, not Japan​ But here's where it gets insane: Instead of running, the creator flew to Tokyo and recruited 7 real musicians to perform the AI songs live​. they've played multiple shows, more are booked​. the creator's response: "In an age where AI is taking everyone's jobs, this has actually created jobs. It's done the complete opposite."​ This is the first time ever an AI fake band became a real touring act and it worked. Nobody in the music industry knows what to do about it​​.

One of the most grounded Bitcoin podcasts I've heard in a while. Not about price. About financial independence through low time preference. @stephanlivera @ts_hodl Study 📚 Bitcoin

how to build a bootstrapped startup without funding: 1. pick a problem you personally have. if you don't use your own product daily, quit now 2. skip the pitch deck. open your code editor. ship something ugly in a weekend 3. charge money from day 1. free users give you nothing but support tickets 4. use boring tech. PHP, SQLite, vanilla JS. frameworks are a trap that mass waste your time 5. host on cheap VPS ($5-20/mo). not AWS. you don't need kubernetes for 1,000 users 6. do customer support yourself. it's the fastest product feedback loop that exists 7. automate everything you do more than twice. cron jobs > employees. 8. grow on Twitter/X by building in public. your journey IS the marketing 9. keep your burn rate near zero so you never need to raise. ramen profitable > series A 10. say no to investors, cofounders, and "advisors" who want equity for intros i've been doing this for 10+ years now. no employees, no funding, no board meetings the entire VC game is designed to make you think you need permission to start you don't
