Using Bitcoin in 5 years: Big Idea
Problem:
Traditional cyber security is broken. AI can copy your face, and your voice, and hack your passwords in seconds.
Solution:
Bitcoin + AI Agents secure your life = the New software stack. Secure private keys—prove it’s you without revealing anything.
No more passwords. No AI spoofs. Your identity, fully sovereign.
How's it work?
Let’s strip the problem down to first principles
1. Why today’s “prove you’re you” keeps breaking
- Passwords are just secrets stored in other people’s databases—breaches make them worthless.
- Pictures / voice / video used to be “something you are.” Now an $8/month AI subscription can deep-fake all three.
- Two-factor texts ride the same phone networks that get SIM-swapped every day.
So the old stack relies on data that can be copied. We need credentials that can only be signed by a key no one else can touch.
2. What Bitcoin & Nostr bring to the table
- A private key is a big random number that never leaves your device.
- Anyone can verify a signature from that key, but no one can forge it without the number.
- That breaks the copy-and-paste attack surface. AI can fake your face, but it can’t guess a 256-bit key.
Good. But now we’ve traded hack risk for loss risk:
Lose the key → lose the account → rage quit the internet.
The real puzzle: Key custody without misery
Layered Stack:
- Device Key
- Hardware Cosigner
- Social Recovery Key
- Time Lock
This Fixes:
The “AI can fake everything” threat
- the attacker now needs the private key itself, not a likeness of you.
- Deep fakes can fool eyeballs but they can’t generate a valid Schnorr signature.
What About:
The “I’ll lose my keys and hate life” fear?
- Redundancy (multisig) means one lost device isn’t fatal.
- Social recovery off-loads the “don’t lose the seed” anxiety—you borrow trust from people you already depend on.
- Automation agents hide the cryptography behind TouchID-level convenience, so you’re not copying 24-word phrases every day.

YOU ARE NOT BULLISH ENOUGH.
When you buy bitcoin, there’s an inherent bias in the moment to want it to “go up.” That is human psychology. You want to have priced bitcoin “right” when you buy it. Especially, when you first buy bitcoin. You want to be in the green, immediately. It reinforces that you made a good decision. But then later, you realize 99% of your money is still in fiat. When bitcoin went up, your purchasing power (in bitcoin terms) went down for the other 99%.
When pricing bitcoin in the moment that you buy, you want that individual pricing decision to be a good decision. However over time, you become less sensitive and realize the moment in time doesn’t matter and that you really want to maximize and optimize 100% of your savings while managing volatility.
You don’t mind bitcoin going down, whether 10% of your savings are in bitcoin or nearly all of it because it is an opportunity to save more in the present, knowing everything you do hold will increase in purchasing power over time. You never per se like your purchasing power going down (ever) but it’s also an opportunity and you become desensitized to the volatility the longer you save in bitcoin. Long but that is the psychology.
Thanks to @realDonaldTrump's pardon, Ross got to hug his wife, mom, dad & sister outside the walls of prison. The past 36 hours have been a complete whirlwind and we keep pinching ourselves to make sure we're not dreaming.
So much gratitude, love, and hope for what's to come.
Thank you for all your messages! We can't reply to everyone but know it means so much to us. ❤️
One thing I've seen missed in the housing price debate on here the past few days is that, while the price of houses has increased tremendously in fiat cost over recent years, valued in real money it has held steady for a century

@ChaseYoDream247 Keep going brother. Fire up another wallet and stay on the path. That Nipsey Hussle verse is so real. Pure inspiration. DM me the wallet address and I'll send you some sats. ✌️
Teach this alongside the laws of gravity…
- high taxes destroys growth.
- bigger governments reduce prosperity.
- higher tax rates lead to less taxes being collected.
- you can’t tax your way to wealth.
- people respond to incentives and taxing people is an incentive for businesses and high earners to do less or to leave.
- any tax on labour is a tax on the workers.
- a tax on farmers reduces food security.
- a tax on energy is an added burden on industry.
- government spending is almost always the most inefficient mechanism for getting something done.
- free markets are the most efficient economies. Planned economies lead to chaos and destruction.
1/n Behind the debate about whether bitcoin is money is the single most common attack on bitcoin I've heard from economists.
It goes like this:
1. Bitcoin is only valuable if it's money.
2. Bitcoin isn't money.
3. Therefore it isn't valuable.
