What if we worked together to make subscription based software obsolete. Maybe we start with, I don’t know, “Adobe Lightroom: Photo Editor”? $10 / month??

I capitulated.
I learned some hard lessons. When bitcoin was at $104k, I took out a loan to pay for taxes and to buy more bitcoin.
Bitcoin went up to $126k. I think I made a great decision. The loan I took out had already paid for itself, and then some.
Bitcoin falls and closes below the bull market support band ($107k). I see Benjamin Cowen on YouTube confirm that he thinks we've entered the bear market. In the back of my head, I know it's true but I don't want to act on it.
Bitcoin falls to $85k and Luke Gromen says he sold at $95k. My pride says he's wrong.
Bitcoin crashes further to $72k. Margin call could happen soon, so I load up more collateral.
I've been thinking about where to go from here for a while. Benjamin Cowen clearly sees another trend with this bear market rally.
Time to make a decision. I'm going to have to pay back this loan in June or refinance.
Decided to sell some bitcoin to pay back the loan. Really sucks.
Major benefits: don't have to stress about whether to pay back the loan or buy bitcoin at these crazy low prices. Don't have to think about paying the loan and paying taxes together.
Overall view: I think @npub1cn4…3vle's Strike offers an amazing product. I will use it again. I'm going to be smarter about when. An expensive lesson. Benjamin Cowen is almost always right lol.

True and unfortunate. It's why it will never catch on. There's one critically important economic phenomenon that most don't understand: network effect.
A product with a strong network effect—where the value increases exponentially as more people use it—should aim to be 10x better than existing alternatives to break through in the market.

It's humbling to admit, but almost everything I used to code myself is done better and faster when I use AI. What used to take me around 4 hours of planning and coding I can do in less than 5 minutes with Opus 4.5 + Claude extension in VSC. Instead of being bitter, I'm grateful for the opportunity to get ahead of it.
Ironically, I have job security because existing processes aren't intuitive and there are too many exceptions.

Here's a simple lottery game that could be easily verified by anyone.
Create an npub / website where you can bet on red or black.
When a new bitcoin block comes in, mod (%) the hash value by 2.
If the value is 0 = black, 1 = red.
If black wins, they win reds' pot. And vice versa.
Anyone could verify if cheating took place by doing the incredibly simple block height hash % 2.
You could follow this example to make the full game of roulette with other odds (including house wins).
The real question is legality.
