We discuss: 

• Exactly what is Nostr
• Why it’s important
• How you can easily get started
• The most popular apps
• The vibe of Nostr
• Best practices regarding engagement, security, etc. 
• Various other apps/projects with different and unique use cases
• It’s beauty and promise

In 2017, a post-halving and post-U.S. election year following Trump’s victory, #Bitcoin started the year at $972 and reached $19,672 on December 17, a +1,923% increase. Now in 2025, another post-halving and post-election year, again with Trump’s victory. Will history repeat itself or rhyme? Could we see Bitcoin nearing $1,893,684 by December 17?

WOW: 

Whether you realize it or not, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang gave a speech at CES on Monday that is truly historic, and what he revealed will change the world forever. He just announced new hardware that will take data center-level compute and make it available on your desktop. Local video rendering, huge LLMs with local inference, high-end AI-driven simulations and 3D space rendering, all available for what we used to pay for a decent laptop computer just 15 years ago. This will push AI compute solutions into everyday usage at the local level, and anyone not keeping up with NVIDIA's innovations is going to be left in the dust. This is moving so quickly, even I'm having trouble keeping up, and I'm building LLMs using a large in-house data center, data pipeline, domain adaptation, etc. Even I'm blown away by what Mr. Huang just announced. This will be of greater significance to human civilization than anything Steve Jobs ever announced. I'll be covering this in great detail in tomorrow's broadcast.

People will say they hate us (maxis) because we got rich without helping the world in anyway. This is of course stupid and wrong, but it’s not the actual reason they will hate us. They will hate us because we stood up and declared in a single unified voice “we will not be slaves ever again”. This makes everyone mad. The other slaves are mad. The masters are mad. But we have drawn our line in the sand. There’s no going back now. Bitcoin changed things. Forever. POST: https://primal.net/e/note1mhh2n0vk677v0rqz6kzman76rlzf9vansc35y9h8wrnaym3wws3snuzhkx

My bitcoin evangelism strategy going forward will be "Look, even if you don't get it or think it's a scam, it's going to be so integrated into your stock portfolio, your governments, and your employer, you will already have exposure to its risk profile.

And you aren't reaping any rewards, because you think you can.” POST: https://primal.net/e/note1eq3su069gq5jlunhevnx36v3xhwnq3xgkhn3qc0n6g4xzxyad2cq2le5js
