TIL that Linux isn't free cause I had to buy the computer to run it ๐ญ
This is the biggest load of cope I have ever heard. I hope Opus gets smoked by DeepSeek v4 and the only people who continue to use closed source models are Windows users.
โThe Local AI movement is not a toy. A pair of 3090s, a Mac Studio, a DGX Spark, an on-prem rack, a cluster of rented H100s, or a fleet of consumer GPUs is not just hardware. It is a vote against subscription feudalism.โ
the local hardware bet isn't justified by current pricing. if you see the progress of model development and think
"yea but you won't break even"
instead of
"in 6 months modest local hardware will probably be very useful"
then you are a SLAVE and a RETARD!
i respect the $zec trade and a cook is a cook
but lets not pretend its a 'privacy' trade
why do you think its regulated and why do you think govts love it??????
think about it ๐๐
privacy will indeed become a mega-narrative as govts erase individual freedoms and bring in cbdcs
but the solution to that is not $zec
its $xmr
you know, the one govts hate and have banned from every jurisdiction
the one they have been trying to take down for a decade
the only real private money
accumulate for the long term
we are playing a 10+ year game here

I used to think privacy only mattered for payments, not for SoV. Payments will be in stables so I thought private stables were the solution.
I still think privacy matters for payments but now I think that privacy also matters for SoV due to wealth taxes. And no intelligent investor is using fiat pegged stablecoins as a SoV so you need a private and scarce SoV. ZEC has a credible shot at being the main private SoV.
ZODL allowing people to buy ZEC in a decentralized way and easily shield it enables private SoV in a way that wasn't possible before.
so basically
