imo there will also be a fork in human evolution. group 1 will want to become superhuman. taller, smarter, stronger, more attractive and able to live much longer. and eventually they’ll get what they want. group 2 will be the traditionalists. they’ll want to preserve the natural human form and experience as much as possible. over time these two paths will diverge so much that they almost become separate branches of humanity.

i’m giving it about 3 yrs before local intelligence becomes the norm. within 36 months, relying on a frontier model provider for intelligence will feel like going to an internet cafe just to use the internet. hardware companies including apple will ship devices with built-in options that let you choose your preferred local open model out of the box. and here’s the kicker. bitcoin will be integrated into all of these models with a spending wallet. you’ll talk directly to your local shopping agent without a mouse or keyboard interface and it’ll order your amazon, book your flights, pay your bills, etc.. we’re moving towards ultimate human freedom. it’s not super fast and most of the time it’s very painful for the first gen ai civilization but we’re gettin’ there.

i hate saying this but bitcoin’s current self custody mechanics are probably the biggest reason of slow adoption. not because bitcoin’s architecture is fundamentally too complex for self custody but because we as devs have done a pretty lousy job improving the ux for regular users. If securing your money is that hard, people simply won’t take the risk.

good practice but i’d still not rely on a single key.

2026-08-03 13:34:03 UTC

say you rolled the dice 256 times, got the bits and entered them into a hardware wallet. what makes you think the firmware is actually going to respect those bits and generate the key from that exact entropy? if there’s a bug there too, it could just ignore your input and generate its own entropy instead. if you self custody, keep this in mind and don’t rely on a single key, even if you rolled your own dice.

2026-08-02 12:54:02 UTC

i’ve come to the understanding that anything touching bitcoin has to stay open source, even commercial products built by third-party vendors. if it’s closed source and handles sensitive data, don’t touch it.

2026-07-31 21:33:07 UTC

when a market wants to dump, it looks for a reason. if one doesn’t exist, it creates one. btc should dump in the next few days if this bear market is going to continue because now it has a spectacularly good reason to. based on thr 4 yr cycle, we’ve got about just 4 more months to go anyway. if btc doesn’t dump hard soon, imo it’s a reasonable sign the bottom’s in.

nostr’s biggest growth bottleneck is its apps. i understand they operate with limited resources and this post is not a complaint but rather an assessment.
1. all nostr apps kinda suck. some do some things good, others do other things good. but there is no one great app. not even close.
2. nostr devs who build these apps are kinda cocky and it shows. they also act like an owner. not sure if they realize but nobody gives a single fuck about their dramas.
3. a lot of the app exposure, attention and marketing in nostr revolves around a small group of these cocky people which needs to change.
4. nostr trending algorithm is completely useless. 15 or maybe 20 people showing up nonstop is not a trending algorithm. it's a popularity contest disguised as discovery. if new people, new ideas and new voices can't break through then what's the point? the whole thing starts feeling like a small clique talking to itself. when a new user arrives, after couple days, this is the first thing they notice.
just my observation after spending a lot of time here. nostr feels like a small town pub where the regulars know each other but new people rarely feel visible or welcome.

so many companies from insurance to healthcare to massive enterprise software businesses are about to get disrupted by solo founders willing to manage armies of ai agents. one person with the right systems will be able to outperform an entire company. as a result, large companies are going to continue laying off huge numbers of employees over the next decade. there’s really only one way to survive long term. become an entrepreneur and learn how to run your own army of ai agents. in 10 years, most people probably won’t have traditional jobs anymore. it’ll mostly become a giant gig economy where everybody works for themselves.

one pattern i always notice is that some plebs especially the early bitcoin crowd, act like they own the whole network. to them bitcoin belongs to them and anyone else especially corporations isn’t welcome. if you buy mstr, ibit, etc.. it’s treated like a sin. they never question whether vanguard even allows them to buy actual bitcoin or move it to cold storage which is obviously not an option. they don’t even consider that this might be the only option for bitcoin exposure inside a 401k. similarly if you’re a corporation buying bitcoin, you’re not welcome either. this behavior is completely wrong. bitcoin is ownerless. whether you got in 2010 or today, you have the same rights and access and claim of ownership as anyone else.

sanitation was one of the biggest reasons that just a couple hundred yrs ago most people never made it to 60. today we barely think about it. clean water, sewage systems, basic hygiene. that’s abundance. then came the industrial revolution. steam engines, factories, electricity, railroads. machines replaced muscle and multiplied output per person. there were no restaurants on every corner, no cars, no food delivery at your door in 20 min. all of it came from innovation and tech quietly upgrading human life. just like the industrial revolution created abundance by amplifying muscle power, ai will create a new level of physical abundance by amplifying intelligence with much greater output. the industrial revolution scaled labor. ai scales problem solving. and when problem solving scales, the entire world gets redesigned.

the prevailing discourse around bitcoin’s future demand centers on a familiar cast of actors. nation states building strategic reserves, sovereign wealth funds diversifying away from fiat exposure, and corporations adopting it as a treasury asset. these are all human institutions operating within human timeframes subject to human politics.
but there’s a far more profound demand shock that almost no one is discussing: autonomous ai as an economic agent accumulating btc.
ai’s rapidly moving from tools that humans direct to agents that transact independently. negotiating, purchasing, allocating capital and optimizing for objectives with minimal human oversight. these systems will need a settlement layer that is permissionless, censorship resistant, programmable, and not subject to the counterparty risk of any single government or banking system. they won’t open chase accounts. they won’t submit kyc documents. they’ll gravitate toward the only truly neutral, global, natively digital monetary network that exists.
bitcoin isn’t just sound money for humans. it may be the only money that makes sense for machines.
every prior model of btc adoption assumes a human decision maker somewhere in the loop. a treasury committee, a central bank governor, a fund manager, a big family office, etc... but ai agents optimizing for long term value preservation will arrive at bitcoin through pure economic rationality unburdened by political ideology, institutional inertia or career risk. they won’t need to be convinced. they’ll simply calculate.
unlike a sovereign wealth fund that allocates 2% and revisits the position quarterly, an ai system operating continuously across global markets could accumulate relentlessly around the clock with a time preference approaching zero. not as a speculation but as a logical necessity for self sovereign operation in a digital economy.
the question isn’t whether ai will accumulate btc. the question is what happens to a fixed supply asset when a new class of demand emerges that is non-human, never sleeps, and compounds its own economic agency exponentially.
everyone is modeling the next buyers as institutions. but almost no one is modeling the possibility that the most aggressive accumulators won’t be human at all.

here is where we are currently most of these stuff is basic quantum knowledge and you dont have to be expert to understand how close we are to a post qunatum world. google willow105 physical qubits. distance 7 surface code
Is 0.143% logical error per cycle. ibm heron156 physical qubits. ibm’s most ambitious near term chip kookaburra links three modules for approx 4k physical qubits in total. their starling system targets about 200 logical qubits on 10k physical qubits by 2029. blue jay aims for 2k logical qubits by 2033. even if ibm hits every single milestone on schedule which has never happened in the history of quantum roadmap, 2k logical qubits by 2033 is still below the conservative threshold for secp256k1 and doesn’t even account for the millions of physical qubits those logical qubits actually require at cryptographically relevant error rates.
the gap isn’t just about qubit count either. there are at least four independent exponential barriers.
A) qubit scaling going from 100 to millions of physical qubits while maintaining connectivity, yield
and fabrication quality across massive cryogenic systems cooled to 15 millikelvin.
B) current two qubit gate error hover around 0.1 to 1%. fault tolerant computation for shors against ecc needs something closer to 10⁻⁶ to 10⁻⁸ or roughly 0.0001% to 0.000001% sustained across every gate in circuits billions of operations.
C) you would need qubits to stay coherent for the entire duration of the computation. current superconducting qubits decohere in microsecs to low millisecs. shors on secp256k1 requires hrs of coherent runtime. error correction theoretically handles this but only if your correction cycle is faster than your error accumulation rate which circles back to needing insanely low physical error rates.
D) quantum error correction isn’t just about quantum compute. you would need classic hardware decoding syndromes in real time faster than errors propagate. doing that at the scale of millions of qubits simultaneously is an unsolved engineering problem.
each of these is a separate research frontier which haven’t been resolved. progress in one doesn’t automatically transfer to the others. you can have a million qubits that are too noisy. you can have ultra low noise qubits that you can’t manufacture at scale. you can have both and still lack the classic control infrastructure to orchestrate them.

breaking bitcoin requires shor’s algo on a fault tolerant quantum compute and that’s insanely far away.
you would need ~2,500 logical qubits to break a single secp256k1 key. with error correction that translates to millions of physical qubits plus ultra low error rates around 10⁻¹⁵ and hours of coherent runtime.
today we have ~1,000 physical qubits. high noise, short coherence and zero fault tolerant sys. the gap isn’t even linear its multiple exponential jumps in hardware, error correction and control.
even with very optimistic scaling, you’re looking at at least two to three decades before a machine like that exists. long before then bitcoin and the rest of the internet, banks, governments, etc would migrate to post quantum cryptography.

quantum threat to bitcoin is minimum 30 yrs away. and this problem isn’t unique to bitcoin. the entire world runs on the same cryptographic primitives. bitcoin will be the first network to fix quantum vulnerabilities long before they become a real threat.

millions will say the same but make no mistake this is only a short-term stuff until robots take over the labor
