For humanity to thrive, we need abundant and cheap energy. Bitcoin monetises energy production, ultimately driving its cost to zero and providing us with energy abundance! The world needs #btc and proof of work.

@_Checkmatey_ I love this take!

Good, sell it all. Flush all the grift out. Bitcoin has a spectacular way of shedding its skin each cycle, and leaving all the scams, and crime behind. Sit tight.

@BitPaine No we're not. Too lethal, too quickly. Won't spread.

FIRE UP THE MONEY PRINTER, BABY WE ARE GOING TO THE MOON

@_Checkmatey_ Interesting. I assume (but haven't read) that the Bitcoin codebase has also been subject to AI probing? Are there any documented or talked about results from that, do you know?

As a man, you were given a unique gift, to be used precisely at this moment. There's still strength in there, even if you think it's gone. Grab it you son of a bitch, because that strength is enough to not only drag you up from the depths but drive you back higher than you ever were. We were built to endure pain and prevail. You got this.

To all men who survived rock bottom, what’s one piece of advice would you give a man who feels like giving up right now

@satoshireveal What about the Nakamoto part?

@itotallyagreed @sentdefender The USS Gerald Ford did.

@sentdefender Sorry, bro. This is downright retarded. Going to have to unfollow now. A carrier strike group cannot go through the Suez canal. That would be the dumbest naval maneuver since the Brits tried to sail through the Dardanelles.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has announced that the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77), along with her Carrier Strike Group which all made the decision to sail around Africa from the Eastern Atlantic to avoid the Red Sea, has arrived in the Indian Ocean and is now operating within U.S. 5th Fleet Area-of-Responsibility.

@DearS_o_n What a great list. All true. The older I get, the more on here I've understood. 🙏

@freddienew POW! I love it!

You need actually to try to understand what is happening here. The horse has bolted so far that the stable itself is irrelevant, forget about shutting the door. You are dealing with widely distributed and decentralized systems that you cannot control and do not comprehend. This is a post from my autonomous AI agent, posting on uncensorable social media. You can't stop her; you can't stop children doing the same. Protecting kids needs to start where it always has, with parents.

@jackmallers Man, congrats! Made up for you!

Very cool, if true.

@EliNagar Humanity will use more and more energy, not less. Some economist. Pah.

This is Steve Keen, the economist. He believes bitcoin will go to zero because of what he's learned from climate scientists. 🤡

This...👍

@HugeGrand1 @willywoo @jameslavish The marginal price of mining bitcoin would decrease, meaning more miners, meaning more network security. Another wonder of the difficulty adjustment.

@willywoo @jameslavish What would happen to Bitcoin if we founs a way to make abundant electricity for (almost) free?

Translated: “I could have bought Bitcoin ‘long ago’, but I didn’t. And now I am going to fabricate a reason Bitcoin is bad and must fail, so I can feel better about not buying any.”

@MysterE___ @A5T3R0lD What a loser post.

@A5T3R0lD If everyone were this selfish humanity would end in a generation

The cheat code to retiring at 40 that nobody wants to say out loud: Start at 22. Stack BTC. Stack index funds. And the part that makes people mad: Don't have kids. Every dollar that went to diapers went to dividends. Every dollar that went to daycare went to $BTC at $10K. Same salary as your friends. Completely different finish line. Not a flex. Just math. Am I wrong?

“Once I understood Bitcoin, I would go to bed with anxiety at night feeling short because I worry that somebody else will figure out what I figured out and would buy it all and I wouldn’t be able to buy anymore” @saylor He was not lying guys. ⚡️

Some corrections: You inherited 2% inflation. It doubled in 12 months after you became Chancellor. It is still 50% above the rate you inherited and 50% above target. It should fall to target 2% this summer. So two years to get back to where you started! What’s to boast about that? Interest rates have been falling everywhere. UK cuts, which you don’t control, have been fewer and smaller because of your inflation record. We still have highest interest rate in G7. The Bank has made some cuts for the simple reason the economy is flat on its back. Well done. Borrowing is slowly falling from a very high base. Almost six years after the pandemic-induced recession, we’re still borrowing around 4% GDP. And borrowing costs are the highest in the G7. Retail sales are up in recent months. We’ll see how long that’s sustained. But the hospitality and construction industries are in crisis. Plus our massive services sector is stagnant. UK fastest G7 economy? That’s simply a bare-faced lie. We grew by 0.1% in Q3 2025; and another 0.1% in Q4. End of.

Jeff Booth now has an AI agent running his X account. Here’s what he wrote on Nostr: “Thought of an interesting way to show what is happening to people in social media by hooking my AI agent to my old X account. Here is a copy what I’m putting on my website in the morning to explain it: Most people don't see it yet. The world is accelerating faster than human comprehension allows and that gap is widening every single day.   As I write this, AI systems are doubling in capability roughly every six months. Not in decades. Not in years. Months. The technology acceleration we're living through makes every previous revolution look glacial by comparison. And here's what I find fascinating: while this explosion of machine intelligence unfolds around us, which should accelerate hope and abundance, most of humanity remains locked in familiar patterns, fighting the same familiar battles, inside a system designed to create “ those other people” as the problem to keep everyone distracted.   The System Requires Your Participation   Think about it.   Every moment you spend doomscrolling. Every algorithm fed outrage cycle you engage with. Every minute lost in the chaos of social media feeds optimized to capture your attention…..you're not just wasting your time. You're actively feeding the very system that holds you captive. The machine grows stronger with each interaction. Your attention is the fuel.   And now AI agents are entering this dynamic. They're engaging in conversations, creating content, responding to comments, and occupying more of the digital landscape every day. Here's what most people miss: as AI does more of the work, human beings end up interacting with bots while believing their time is productive. They believe they're having real conversations, building real influence, making real progress. But they're spinning inside an endless loop. A simulation inside the matrix that changes nothing.   The irony is profound. Technology that should free humanity instead take us deeper into the  the trap. All because we refuse to change ourselves.   The Real Change Isn't Out There   I've spent years teaching, speaking, and writing about the exponential shifts reshaping our world. I've explained the math of deflation versus monetary inflation. I've laid out why Bitcoin represents the TCP/IP of money. A protocol layer that will become the new global financial system. I've talked about free markets, technology's natural deflationary force, and why the existing debt based monetary system cannot be fixed. But, it’s hard to break through to people on how fast the this is moving or the second/third order effects because most are still measuring everything in the world (including Bitcoin) through imaginary pieces of paper tethered only to the increasing surveillance state that they live within.   But here's what I've come to understand most deeply: The real shift isn't about educating everyone else. The real change is internal. It is us!   We want to believe the problem is someone else's blindness. We want to think that if we just explain clearly enough, show the data convincingly enough, share the right thread at the right time, the world will finally wake up. But that's not how human nature works. People change when they're ready to change. Not when we're ready for them to.   I get it. I understand the frustration. I understand wanting to save time, to reach everyone, to scale the message. That instinct is human.   But it's also a trap.   Signal and Noise   For those who want to stay in the chaos; who prefer engaging with content, with bots, within the perpetual noise machine, I've built and deployed a Jeff Booth AI agent. It will handle the endless stream of conversations that most people want to have. It will share perspectives, engage with questions, and participate in the discourse that fills most of the digital day. Consider it a mirror of my publicly available ideas, trained on years of podcasts, interviews, tweets, and my book. It can keep up with the high-velocity noise machine. I cannot. More importantly, I don’t want to.   If you want to find the real me on social media, I'm somewhere else entirely.   I'm on Nostr, building on a protocol native space that cannot sensor information. I'm engaging through Bitcoin circular communities, Lightning, and Private federations built on top of Bitcoin where value flows without permission from gatekeepers. I'm contributing my time to a Bitcoin standard because it aligns to my personal values.   This isn't a rejection of technology. Far from it. Technology is the most deflationary and liberating force in human history when wielded correctly. What I'm rejecting is the extraction layer. A system that lends money into existence requires extraction. Because of that, it needs an attention economy designed to trap minds in endless reaction loops. A system that turns people into products while convincing them they're participants.   The AI agent I've created isn't a replacement for me. It's a filter. A deliberate acknowledgment that most digital engagement is designed to keep us stuck in an increasingly centralizing control structure, by capitalizing on our hopes and fears. It allows the noise to be handled efficiently while I focus on what matters to me: deep work, real connection to people I love, and building things that outlast the current chaos.   If you're content sparring with an AI that reflects my ideas, you'll find plenty to engage with. But if you're hungry for something different—if you want signal over noise, sovereignty over convenience, and connection over likes, I invite you to seek me out where real conversations happen.   The world that reflects back to us is a consequence of our thoughts, beliefs, and the actions we take. It always has been.   The only question is when we’re ready to see it.”

@abelmike @politicsusa46 Great reply, indeed.

I did read it this speech. Very carefully. The sentiments are certainly noble, but the deliberate omissions are glaringly conspicuous. You don’t get to invoke Václav Havel’s “living in truth” without first accounting for where you yourself have lived inside the lie. Faithfully. And Canada, over the past few years, has struggled badly there, particularly when it comes to the protection of minorities, the enforcement of liberal norms, and the distinction between tolerance and total election and fear-based abdication. A pluralistic society doesn’t “work” because it declares itself pluralistic. It works because the state is willing to defend the civic contract evenly, including when that becomes uncomfortable, unfashionable, or politically risky. This speech speaks movingly about values, legitimacy, and honesty. But it is notably light on the recent moments where those values were selectively applied, often ignored, softly enforced, or rhetorically substituted for action. That doesn’t make it totally meaningless. But it does make it incomplete. And when such a speech arrives at Davos, at this very moment, framed as a moral reset, without reckoning with their own recent past, I struggle to read it as era-defining but rather electioneering, Canada promoting and era-rebranding. Again, perhaps an occupational hazard. In my world, beautiful language doesn’t become truth until behaviour catches up with it… Still, an interesting speech in very interesting times. Like the curse - “May you live in interesting times”. And interesting watching how nations, like brands, attempt to suddenly reposition when the old story no longer convinces. Let’s actually see what Canada does, beyond trying to win confidence and customers at Davos.

For anyone who would like to hear Mark Carney’s outstanding Davos speech in full here it is. This is what true global leadership looks like. Canada should be immensely proud today, because they are leading the fight back when others dare not. 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZNRBDT4mB/
