NEW EPISODE

Your AI agent is about to need a wallet. It's going to rent compute, buy API credits, and pay for services. Right now most people solve this by handing over their credit card.

That means every transaction your agent makes is in your name, on your card, and tied to your identity.

Roland (nprofile…g5jd) at Alby (nprofile…x6g9) built another way. We talk about what self-custody looks like when the machines start spending and why the infrastructure Bitcoiners built for human freedom turns out to be exactly what agents need.

NEW EPISODE

“All it takes is the political will or the political mistake to turn it on. And it's there.”

John Robb flew Tier 1 special operations, built tech companies, and now maps how surveillance scales. His assessment: every piece of a totalitarian AI system already exists. An AI assigned to every person. Real-time manipulation. Automated punishment. All assembled by corporations building normal products.

What stops it, according to Robb? Not much. Not Bitcoin. Not encryption.

What individuals can do: pair with AI now, control it locally, stop feeding centralized systems your intelligence.

NEW ESSAY

“Support the show” is charity language. “Make me uncancellable” is a product.

That's what voluntary payment actually offers. Not mass adoption—fifty years of data killed that dream. An exit when Patreon bans you, PayPal freezes your account, or your bank decides your business doesn't align with their values.

The 5% who pay aren't your revenue. They're your lifeboat.

Voluntary payment has never cracked 5% adoption. Fifty years of trying. NPR, Radiohead, Patreon, Nostr zaps. Human nature doesn't change.

So why build #V4V rails at all?

Because when Patreon banned creators in 2018, lightning worked. When SubscribeStar got cut off by Stripe and PayPal, sats kept moving.

NEW EPISODE: average_bitcoiner (nprofile…lwfh) went from Naval Special Warfare intelligence to software engineering at a large-scale Bitcoin miner.

His career arc reveals something important about how centralized systems are showing cracks and what's replacing them.

Key insights:

→ Open source contributions build reputation that matters more than corporate credentials in Bitcoin
→ Military “thinking shooter” training—knowing where to find answers rather than having all answers—translates directly to decentralized technology work
→ Financial surveillance isn't abstract: working in FinTech showed him exactly how payment censorship operates at the technical level
→ Bitcoin Veterans is creating pathways for the military community to transition from defending centralized institutions to building alternatives

"Trust, not price, has become the scarcest resource." 🎯

quoting
nevent1q…c5vw
We’re living through a peculiar market failure right now.

Consumers have been burned by inflated pricing on mediocre goods so many times that they’ve grown skeptical of all premium offerings. At the same time, the few makers who are still committed to truly exceptional work struggle to signal their differentiation in a sea of false premiums.

The real luxury in modern markets isn’t the product itself anymore. It’s the credible signal that something was made with uncommon care. Trust, not price, has become the scarcest resource.

What we pay for and what actually deserves premium treatment have diverged. The question is whether they can ever realign.

"Trust evolves along a continuum. At the personal level, it begins with identity, the belief that a signer or speaker will keep their word. At the institutional level, it is mediated by delegation and credentialing: we trust entities because they have been certified by others.

We are waking up. Bullish.

> According to the survey, just 28 percent of Americans expressed having a “‘great deal’ or ‘fair amount’ of trust in newspapers, television and radio to report the news fully, accurately and fairly.” That figure, Gallup noted, “is down from 31% last year and 40% five years ago,” and “marks the first time the measure has fallen below 30%.”

Efforts to slow or block the creation of a CBDC have received little support among congressional Democrats—even though the risks involved strike at the heart of core progressive values. Indeed, for a movement that has consistently fought against surveillance, discrimination, and the abuse of government power, CBDCs should raise especially sharp concerns.

https://fountain.fm/episode/3keoizzqUGz8kSq0GgxE

quoting
nevent1q…0v0h
Wake up motherfuckers, if you thought it couldnt get any worse, it just did:

Google Play Store is banning all non-custodial wallets whose developers do not have a FinCEN registration, state banking license, or MiCA license.

This means that in the US, *all* non-custodial wallets on the Play Store will have to employ AML/KYC.

Sounds bad? In the EU, it’s even worse:

MiCA licenses are not issued to services as simple as non-custodial wallets, effectively banning non-custodial wallet developers from the Play Store in the EU.

As with all dumb AML ideas, it’s of course the FATF that opened the door to this nonsense, claiming that even non-custodial/decentralized software could have some element of control over funds.

The DOJ tried to enforce this quagmire with Samourai and Tornado Cash, and now we’re seeing the largest App Store in the world enforce it on its own.

After regulation by prosecution, here comes regulation by monopoly

Are you tired of winning yet?
