@AndrewGiorgiAI I can't F-ing keep up sometimes. I'm about to test Sakana Fugu, particularly after you said how good it was and how close it got to Fable 5. If Fugu can give close to Fable 5 performance at a better cost base, I'll go that way.
@AndrewGiorgiAI All good. No need to make a vid. That was pretty much my plan. Have Hermes read/duplicate the important .md files and then work on all the integrations one by one. Slow and safe.
@AndrewGiorgiAI Hey mate. I'm looking at exploring how to get OpenClaw set up over to Hermes. I remember you mentioning that you were doing the same, how did it go? Were you able to merge everything over?
This one lesson I learned is a lesson you should not sleep on.
I installed OpenClaw March 4th. That’s when I started this journey.
Ever since then I have been entrenched in this space.
And I must say.
It is not only how crazy how much you can learn & improve & build in 4 months, but also…..
It is CRAZY how fast this tech moves & the models become better.
The lesson is simple:
DO NOT WAIT TO TEST NEW MODELS & TECH.
I waited 2 months to try Hermes after seeing everyone else talk about it & in hindsight I wish I would have installed it immediately.
And now I use Hermes for everything.
I waited 1-2 months to start playing with Local Models. I wish I would have done that sooner.
Now I use a local model on my Mac Mini with 1 of my Hermes Agents.
In this space since it moves so fast, you NEED to be willing to step out of your comfort zone & test everything that comes out.
You never know when it will benefit you & your workflows.
Don’t make the same mistake I did.
@AndrewGiorgiAI Ive been meaning to ask, I know you mentioned that you run Hermes on the same mac as OP but do you run Hermes in the same apple user profile or have you given it its own user profile? Cheers!!
Few people realize how profound of an invention #Bitcoin is. It is on the same level as fire, the wheel, or the number zero. Let me try to say it in few words:
Stealing (taxation, inflation, etc) rewards people who cause problems at the expense of people who solve problems.
Since it is hard to seize (tax) and impossible to print (inflate), Bitcoin rewards those who solve problems and inhibits people from causing problems. Since people tend to do whatever is most profitable, over time Bitcoin reorganizes the world to have more cooperative problem-solvers and less coercive problem-causers.
As a wise man once said: “no man is better than his incentives.” As an incentive system which makes cooperation disproportionately more profitable than coercion, Bitcoin makes us better men.
The profound impact of Bitcoin could take centuries to play out, as did previous profound innovations like the number zero. But change requires action. Thus, it is incumbent upon each of us to “be the change” we wish to see in the world.
As a wise man once said: “if there be trouble, let it be in my day, so that my children may know peace.”
Godspeed brothers and sisters, and good luck Being The Change (BTC) you wish to see in the world. Indeed, your deeds are the only things that can change the world.
Stay strong. Stay smart. And stay stacking.
JIMMY CARR: "I would not mind it if our government mines for bitcoins.
Our power stations don't do anything at night, so we're going to mine for bitcoins. Great. New gold standard. Fine."

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.

@BorisJohnson Bitcoin is not a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi requires a central operator promising returns and paying early investors with funds from later ones. Bitcoin has no issuer, no promoter, and no guaranteed return—just an open, decentralized monetary network driven by code and market demand.
When you buy a home, instead of making a down payment...
Make a Bitcoin Mortgage Insurance (BMI) contribution.
Pay off your 30yr Mortgage in 8yrs
IF $BTC 8yr CAGR ≈ 30%
IF $BTC goes to zero, thats a risk the lender and insurer want to take.
Here' how it works:
For a $500K home at 6% APR
Contribute $75K to BMI escrow.
Receive financing.
Pay in monthly to BMI, like PMI.
Unlike PMI, BMI builds equity.
Payments are used to buy Bitcoin and accumulate into BMI escrow.
50% of BMI value = borrowers
50% of BMI value = lenders
Monthly BMI | Required CAGR
$100 | 35.2%
$200 | 34.4%
$300 | 33.7%
$400 | 32.9%
By year 9, borrower's BMI escrow value would be greater than the principal balance due on the loan.
BMI escrow account is liquidated.
Borrower owns home free & clear.
Lender receives principal + BMI.
A true win-win
IF Bitcoin is saving s technology.
TruFi thinks so.
Peoples Reserve thinks so.
What do you think?
Make Homes Affordable Again!
It really is that easy when the system is stuck in fiscal dominance and you have absolute digital scarcity.

I’ve had more people reach out to me shaken in this cycle than even in 2022 (when Bitcoin went down 75% from $68k ATH to $16k!) saying they’re panicked, they sold, or they’re suddenly “not sure” about Bitcoin.
Some bailed into gold because they still want to stay on the hard money train. Some are convinced quantum computing is about to “break” Bitcoin. Some tell me I’m reckless for being so undiversified with my life’s savings.
I understand the fear. Drawdowns aren’t fun. They can mess with your confidence and your timeline…especially when the mood is this dark (and when your income is tied to the same asset you’re holding!).
But here’s where I’m at: Bitcoin is still the only life raft worth holding and helping other people find.
My mom gets $900 a month in Social Security. Who can live on that? That’s not a retirement plan - it’s a slow economic strangulation.
So no, I’m not in Bitcoin because it’s some thrilling get rich overnight scheme. I’m in Bitcoin because I don’t see another path that gives everyday families like mine a real shot. I didn’t get in early enough to be “set.” I’m still building. Still working. Still trying to protect the people I love in a system that keeps making life more expensive!
I haven’t lost faith….not because I’m numb to this volatility, but because the problem Bitcoin solves hasn’t gone away.
If you’re shaken right now, you’re not weak. You’re human. Just don’t confuse a bad market mood with a broken thesis.
Keep going. Zoom out. Do the work. Take care of your family. I’m doing the same. We’ve got this.
