What does the value investment look in the crypto world?

2025-01-19 22:39:00 UTC

After noticing that Trump and his wife launched meme coins, here are a few scattered thoughts from the past two days:
1. They’re incredibly creative.
2. Meme coins may represent the opposite of scarcity.
3. True wealth comes from scarcity.
4. Instead of meme coins, buy Solana; instead of Solana, buy Bitcoin.

This is a big deal!

Exposing The Flaw In Our Phone System - YouTube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVyu7NB7W6Y
I was shocked to see this video, especially since the attacker only needs a phone number to intercept calls and text messages, as well as locate the victim. Many things we assume to be secure are actually not safe. Not to mention SMS-based 2FA, even services like Signal require users to provide a phone number during registration.

Thinking about what things will look like in 10 years is a powerful mindset. It helps you clear through the fog to see what truly matters and identify major trends, while filtering out the noise along the way. The truth is, most things in our daily life are just noise.

Fed's Powell: Bitcoin is just like gold, except it's digital. Bitcoin is used as a speculative asset; it's a competitor with gold, not the US dollar.
There's a major perception gap today: Most people view Bitcoin merely as digital gold, solely functioning as a store of value. However, few people (except those in the Nostr ecosystem, of course) recognize that Bitcoin on the Lightning Network also serves as a universal equivalent for commodity circulation - a monetary function. Its transaction costs are even lower than all current transaction methods we have. It's harder than the US dollar while having lower transaction costs than the US dollar. New online business models will grow and thrive thanks to these extremely low transaction costs.

Don't pursue things that show results within just 3 years - those goals are often too small and too crowded with competition. Let the impatient chase those pursuits.

PSA: When Bitcoin reaches $100k, 10 sats will equal 1 cent.

'If Bitcoin has the most assets, why do Ethereum and Solana have more developers?' - A common challenge to the 'one dominant protocol' theory.
The answer lies in evolutionary stages. We're in the infrastructure/experimentation phase, where developers explore possibilities. But long-term value follows security and stability:
1. Early stage: Developers chase innovation
2. Middle stage: Market validates what matters
3. Final stage: Value consolidates around proven security
The surge in alt-protocol development mirrors the dot-com era experimentation. Just as Internet protocols eventually settled, value transfer will converge on the most secure and reliable base layer.
Security and reliability compound over time - they're the asymptotic qualities that win the long game.

2024-11-21 19:59:53 UTC

The blockchain ecosystem won't remain multi-protocol forever. Value naturally flows to and consolidates in networks with the strongest fundamentals:
- Best security draws more assets
- More assets attract more developers
- More developers create better apps
- Better apps bring more users
- More users enhance security
Just as the Internet unified information flow, one protocol will emerge to dominate value transfer - not because of 'winner-takes-all' software dynamics, but because value inherently seeks the path of least resistance.

Despite having many crypto-savvy friends, I notice none of them are Lightning Network enthusiasts. Are we still early in Lightning's journey, or are there crucial problems yet to be solved?

2024-11-20 22:24:49 UTC

Imagine a Bitcoin Lightning-powered Jira that does everything the original does - creating stories, managing sprints, tracking tickets - but with one game-changing feature: when a developer's code gets merged into main, they automatically receive Bitcoin payments. This could work with GitHub Issues too. It would not only incentivize open-source contributions but also create a global talent pool, helping teams hire the best engineers worldwide.

2024-11-20 21:49:06 UTC

Tried LNVPN last night - it charged me just 10 cents for one hour of use and worked like a charm. Last Sunday, I almost paid $200 for a yearly VPN subscription while at a café. It's truly amazing how Lightning's micropayment capability makes products like this shine.

On the spectrum of cryptocurrency, two poles emerge: At one end stand the cypherpunks and tech purists, driven by their original vision of decentralization and technological revolution. At the opposite end lurk the gamblers in Las Vegas, consumed by greed and envy, throwing fortunes at their next bet.
While the idealists persevere through bear markets, steadfastly building towards their vision, the speculators chase meme coins and quick profits during bull runs. Like a pendulum in perpetual motion, the crypto market swings between these extremes - from one pole to the other, in an endless cycle of bull and bear markets.

From this perspective, working for a company is essentially selling our attention during specific time periods. We give our highest quality attention - our most alert morning mind, our most focused hours of the day.

2024-11-06 01:36:53 UTC

Attention is our scarcest resource. While time is our most precious asset, moments without attention are greatly diminished in value. Think of time as the x-axis, representing the length of life; attention is the y-axis, determining how we experience each moment. Life, in essence, is the integral of attention (y) over time (x).

After disengaging from nostr for several months, I returned to find the ecosystem has grown remarkably richer. The open-source protocol redistributes profits that would have belonged to monopolistic companies back to everyone in the ecosystem, enabling all talented individuals to contribute. Although most contributions from the community might be small and gradual, it works like a "democratic ratchet" - once consensus is reached, it's difficult to regress in the wrong direction.

I recently read Chris Dixon's "Read Write Own". One interesting detail mentioned in the book is that early Twitter could be used as an RSS client, which brought great convenience to users (this was before Twitter became more closed off).
I wonder what it would be like to read RSS feeds within Nostr? Feel like a cool idea.

Hi there! I'm exploring Nostr as a platform to share my thoughts while maintaining peace of mind. While Twitter has its merits, issues like spam accounts and excessive adult content can be problematic. I'm hopeful that the Nostr protocol will provide a better experience.
I currently work for Coinbase, but my posts here reflect my personal views and not those of my employer.
