"The foregoing considerations are by no means an exhaustive account of the cultural and spiritual legacy of fiat inflation. But they should suffice to substantiate the main point: that fiat inflaiton is a powerhouse of social, economic, cultural, and spiritual destruction." Fiat inflation is more than a hidden tax on everyday folks—it's the fuel for the worst parts of our system, feeding both the war monster overseas and a creeping police state at home. It fosters a culture where impulsive, harmful choices are rewarded, punishing those who live sensibly and plan for tomorrow. It's a thief that strips us of our wealth, our values, and our spirit. Dive into today's must-read from Jorg Guido Hulsmann at the Mises Institute, and see the society rotting symptoms of the fiat disease.

"During the peak transaction fee times over the past month, our example transaction would be dust even for .001 BTC. That’s a little less than $50 at current market conditions. This feels incredible. 100,000 sats suddenly turned into dust. Gone. Unusable. This is terrifying." ~ Joe Rodgers While we have a short respite from the crazy fees that have hit the Bitcoin world recently, there couldn't be a more important time to discuss the cost of moving UTXOs and just how to manage your bitcoin balances so they don't get swallowed by high fees. Have you analyzed your bitcoin balances and transactions to know where you stand? Have you consolidated your weekly purchases?

We had an awesome chat on Twitter Spaces where we discuss the launch of Pear Runtime, bringing Paolo Arduino, Mathias Buus, David Markclem, Samson Mow, and Giacomo Zucco! We dig into what this could mean for the future of application development, the impact it will have on the tech industry, how it could disrupt monetization models, how this could be used in gaming, journalism, social media, et al, the control it will shift back to the user, and about ushering in the second coming of the peer to peer web.

"For too long, the world has had to endure the fallout of subpar academic research on bitcoin mining’s energy use and environmental impact. The outcome of this bullshit research has been shocking news headlines that have turned some well-meaning people into angry politicians and deranged activists. So that you never have to endure the brutality of one of these sloppy papers, I’ve sacrificed my soul to the bitcoin mining gods and performed a full-scale analysis of a study from the United Nations University, published recently in the American Geophysical Union’s Earth’s Future. Only the bravest and hardest of all bitcoin autists may proceed to the following paragraphs, the rest of you can go back to watching the price chart." ~ Margot Paez The battle for common sense in Bitcoin regulation and understanding of its energy use and environmental footprint may not ever be winnable, but in the course of the war on garbage research, if from time to time we get entertaining and scathing articles like this one from Margot Paez that tears apart their research... maybe it'll all be worth it.

"NWC is useful for far more than simply integrating Lightning into Nostr applications as well. The entire design philosophy of Nostr itself as a protocol was centered around keeping it simple enough that the entire protocol could be easily implemented correctly by any developer with minimal time and resources. Applications that have nothing to do with Nostr can easily integrate NWC or similar protocols with almost no overhead or complexity to address the underlying issues of how to connect a Bitcoin wallet with their application without having to build it directly into the app." What if some of the biggest improvements in security, decentralization, and the power of Bitcoin and its app ecosystem, isn't a new OP_CODE or functionality of the bitcoin client, but instead the utilization of something completely separate? What if we can use Nostr, or other decentralized protocols, as identity and coordination layers for Bitcoin apps, so new applications can quickly and easily communicate, and connect to other devices and wallets, without the incredible overhead and complexity that this usually entails? This, is Nostr Wallet Connect.

The main promise of quantum computing is the ability to solve problems far faster than classical computers, but exactly how much faster varies. There are two applications where quantum algorithms appear to provide an exponential speed up, says Troyer. One is factoring large numbers, which could make it possible to break the public key encryption the internet is built on. The other is simulating quantum systems, which could have applications in chemistry and materials science." ~ Edd Gent Is Bitcoin destined to fall when quantum computers make their debut? Is the encryption that underpins the entire design of the system at risk this year? This decade? This century? What is the real story behind quantum computing and is there anything we can know from looking at the industry today and where it has, or has not succeeded, in living up to its many promises? Find out in today's episode. Check out the original article at Quantum Computing’s Hard, Cold Reality Check Hype is everywhere, skeptics say, and practical applications are still far away.

"One of the amazing things about the internet economy is how different the list of top internet properties today looks from the list ten years ago.  It wasn’t as if those former top companies were complacent – most of them acquired and built products like crazy to avoid being displaced. The reason big new things sneak by incumbents is that the next big thing always starts out being dismissed as a “toy.” ~ Chris Dixon Why do so many miss the biggest innovations and most revolutionary technologies sitting right in front of their eyes? Sometimes, like Bitcoin, it is such a drastic change, or solves something so fundamental, that many aren't even aware of the problem. It simply doesn't fit in their worldview. But far more often disruptive technologies are dismissed because they find their first footing in a small, obscure, or purely explorative niche... in other words, they get mistaken as a toy, until they change the world.
