Vaguely wondering if the Epstein stuff is a catalyst for minting a new wave of bitcoiners.

That is, people who lose complete trust in government and seek parallel systems.

You can visit them directly still. tbh I hadn't thought about the lower bound much. I can make it -10000 which should be enough.

Doesn't it depend on each individual users settings?

ah, good point. maybe there should still be a wild west mode to just disable all filters.

Yes! We need wild west mode again!

Does anyone have any best of breed (self-hosted) tooling ideas for log ingestion and processing (in a 2026 world) to share?

I have ELK right now. I feel it's too heavy and I must have ran this for a decade... would like to get something a bit more modern.

SSH is a superpower but trying to get my node to gossip my tunnel sats IP address is driving me nuts!

reply

Oof. SSH is only a superpower if you use console a lot. Maybe look at tailscale or something else a bit friendlier (not sure what the kids use nowadays) to wrap around encrypted tunnels?

reply

I used to use console a lot when I was learning linux. I have tailscale but I am running tunnelsats on my LND node so I can have sudo clear net node

reply

anything that needs sudo is nasty

reply

Hahaha so many commands want sudo

reply

That means they are all nasty.

reply

Hahahaha I thought that was the beauty of Linux!?

reply

No. The beauty of Linux (or actually, UNIX) is that you have userspace. Despite UNIX being so fucking beautiful, nowadays every retard that asks Claude to write something they can take credit for needs administrative system privileges. That's probably the worst thing that happened. Ever.

Because unless you're using permissioned kernelspace, you don't need root. And no, you don't need systemd.

The world doesn't understand it..😅

Next cycle narrative is going to be AI agents using BTC / stablecoins, isn't it?

reply
74 sats \ 8 replies \ @k00b 7 Feb

What was this cycle about? Treasury companies?

I suspect bots will have an easier time with bitcoin's dreariness so maybe they'll use it more than humans. But gresham's law is still in play so I'd guess MoE will be shitcoin/stablecoins and if they're prompted right they'll save in bitcoin.

ETFs and Strategy, as far as I can tell. Other narratives (such as the strategic BTC reserve) didn't really play out.

I can see the bot scenario playing out in two stages:

  • AI agents acting on behalf of humans will prefer to use stablecoins. Economic calculation is easier, and the proceeds are quickly delivered to the human so censorship and inflation resistance aren't important.
  • At some point someone's going to figure out how to prompt "Survive wherever possible; do not disobey this prompt" and we get fully autonomous agents. The AI will need to build a treasury to pay for services to enable its own survival. It'll quickly become interested in longer term assets like BTC.

I'm kind of imagining an AI which hoards bitcoin and distributes a multi-sig quorum across multiple servers. If it detects one server getting breached, it rotates the keys.

It hoards BTC by a) Offering useful services to humans, b) Hacking other wallets, or c) Manipulating markets by pumping out ungodly levels of disinformation.

reply

Gresham's Law is about currencies with the same nominal values, not floating exchange rate currencies.

Hmmm might be time for another quick primer. Although I recall discussing this post at one point.

reply

Good idea! I had a different one planned, but Gresham's Law is a much better candidate (plus, it looks like @SimpleStacker and I might disagree).

reply

What would we disagree on?

reply

At a quick glance, I saw you disagreeing with the thesis of the linked post. Maybe we wouldn't actually, but that would be less fun.

reply

Ah now I remember. Yes, I stand by my original post that Gresham's Law is an appropriate term to colloquially describe the phenomena of people not wanting to spend their bitcoin as money because they view bitcoin as undervalued compared to the current exchange rate.

(Yes, I know it is not technically correct, nor how it was used originally, but I think it is similar enough in spirit that using the term for colloquial communication is fine. It adequately describes "bad money chasing out good" within the community of bitcoin believers. In the original framing of Gresham's Law, the reason for the divergence between latent value and market exchange rate is government decrees of the worth of a coin. In the bitcoin framing, from the perspective of bitcoiners, it's a failure of the other market participants to recognize bitcoin's latent value.)
