 The only things holding us back are willpower and putting in the work. 
 I want not only to shape the future but also to make it look and feel like the future. 
 Calm and steady > rushing tides 

Be wary when everyone is excited

 Controversial AI take: The true measure of intelligence is not in answers but in questions.

 Maybe we do need AI-driven democracy: Train an AI on citizens' will, use it to make decisions. Periodically retrain with new input. No more politicians, just people's voices amplified. A feedback loop of direct democracy. https://image.nostr.build/8c960e110ca87dc0b641b3db2a330c8d7633362dca04c9937319c9a11abd9f73.jpg  
 Are you able to share the picture it generated? 
 And I thought I’m the only one using my phone on flight mode and wifi all the time :-)

 Everyone seems to be talking about "founder mode" lately. It may work for Airbnb, but let's not forget the stellar performance of "manager mode" giants like Microsoft, Apple, Amazon & Nvidia. These tech leaders have thrived with it scaling to unprecedented heights. "Founder mode" has merits and I've also learned one size doesn't fit all.

 Maybe you are right, maybe you are not. There is a place for founder mode. At the same time I’m not a fan of extremes, each approach has its time and place. 
 We are here and we will not leave! 
 Life Lesson: Don't assume you deserve anything by default. Work for what you want and need. If something is given to you, it's a gift. Don't expect it. 
 Proud dad moment: Watching my kids run their lemonade stand embracing both old-school charm and cutting-edge tech. They're learning about #Bitcoin and Lightning payments - all while serving up smiles, cookies & refreshments. These little ones are dreaming big! #Lightning #Payments

 Life Lesson: Embrace small victories, not greed. Steady progress illuminates the big picture. Consistent growth outshines fleeting windfalls.

 Bitcoin Lightning is powering the Internet's instant & borderless value transfers. The future of online payments is already here. ⚡️

 As centralized social media platforms face increasing scrutiny and control, we may witness a paradigm shift towards decentralized networks. These distributed systems could emerge as the last bastions of truly open (digital) discourse.

 'If liberty means anything, it's the right to tell people what they don't want to hear.' - Orwell. Yet we must defend even what we oppose. As sunlight disinfects, free expression illuminates injustice. Silence on important matters diminishes us all.

 Words may be free but their consequences come at a premium. Let's hope our thought-price index doesn't become doubleplusungood. #Nostr
