We’ve just wrapped up @btchelevent on a high, and the energy was electric!
It’s easy to forget what Bitcoin is through the noise: a community of people learning, building, and cooperating.
Austrian Economics helps us see why that matters.

Here's my 6 hour conversation with @dhh, a legendary programmer, creator of Ruby on Rails, author, and race car driver. This was a fun and inspiring conversation on everything from the future of programming & AI to the nature of happiness & productivity to the value of family, getting married and having kids.
X limits video length to 6 hours. So this full convo doesn't fit (by a few minutes). So, the first 6 hours are here on X. The full version is up everywhere else (see comment).

Window is closing on the cool kid's club of those who had to setup Omarchy BY HAND! We're cooking a full distro ISO, so no more manually running archinstall, rebooting for wget, and playing with iwctl. It'll be straight from boot to productive in just a few minutes!
🇬🇧 Yesterday, Curtailed wind energy cost Britain:
£18,782,283!
Curtailed energy is the excess wind power that's generated but not used due to grid limitations or low demand. Instead of wasting this energy, we can use it for Bitcoin mining. ⚡️⛏️💰 https://t.co/sskGiRKHGs
Thrilled for @37signals to be the first corporate sponsor of Hyrpland! @vaxryy has built something incredibly special, and I think it's key we accelerate to offer developers an easy, compelling, and sexy-as-hell alternative to computing with Windows or macOS 🤘
OMG I was trying to build a Markdown authoring environment based on Emacs.
4 hours later with serious Grok support it was up and running. Easy peasy🙄
Turns out that Wayland offers challenges, such as not being able to get environment settings such as PATH from the terminal but had to be explicitly set in my init.el file.
@LundukeJournal
I guess the better question is why basing it on Emacs… (because I like it)
New narrative just dropped: I'm redefining "Bitcoiner"! You no longer need to run or use the Bitcoin network—let’s leave that to the elite Bitcoiners.
Now, all it takes to be a Bitcoiner is to treat Bitcoin as your Unit of Account (UoA)! Anyone can do this. You don't even need to custody!

🚨NVIDIA CEO just redpilled the MIT study claiming AI makes people dumber
> “I haven’t read the MIT research lol”
> “I literally use AI every day and my cognitive skills are actually advancing”
> most of his job as CEO = asking good questions
> “I’m not asking a machine to teach me what I already know.”
> prompting/ asking good questions is an actual skill
> “I use AI to teach me things i don’t know or help me solve problems”
> not sure how normies are using AI that would cause them to not think. lol
> skill issue
> “because critiquing, criticizing AI’s answers using critical thinking enhances cognitive skills”
> advice to MIT test participants: “Apply critical thinking”
BASED LEATHER JACKET MAN.
They don't like solar because no one owns the sun.
They dismiss reforestation because trees help everyone.
They’ll fear it because nature never gives up.
And they’ll fear the movement—because people are finally ready to act.
🌳 Reforestation is unstoppable.
In February 2024 I acquired an abandoned coffee farm in El Salvador. I began living there later that year, alongside three local men and Bruno, a puppy he found in the jungle.
When I arrived, the farm had just three buildings; a bullet-ridden water tank, Elias’s cabin and a larger cabin housing Antonio and his son Benedicto. I have been living in a tent between the two cabins since November. The four of us have shared food and tools becoming close friends during these months.
Tent life taking its toll, I begin construction of a farmhouse this month. But must first build a watertight cabin for Elias (85) before the rainy season.
As for the coffee, the first harvest beautifully roasted by @goodbeans scored an impressive 82 points, establishing a speciality benchmark to build upon. The plants were submerged in vegetation and are distributed across the farm haphazardly. With the farm now cleared, higher yields are expected next harvest while plans to introduce new varietals are afoot.
