 Being smart is easy. Being kind and patient is hard.  
 I just realized that I consider you a close friend that I've never met. What a strange thing.  
 But I need a gif keyboard 😂

 It's a miracle that bitcoin bootstrapped and made it this far. A fucking miracle. Every 10 minutes.

 Instead of digging through personal diaries, future historians will dig through hours and hours and hours of personal video and voice recordings. 

Imagine Anne Frank vlogging.  
 (had this thought after recording a voice message to myself)  
 That's a good point, but the success of vlogs and IRL streaming and podcasts and tiktok and other things quite clearly shows that writing (and reading) is not as strenuous as talking and listening.  
 We have GitHub over nostr now but it’s not talked about daily??

Wild. 

What am I missing?

 It's already happening. Plenty a merchant accepts sats outright without even knowing what sats are. And I love it.

The world changes, and so do we all. The important bit is to not lose our humanity, no matter the change.
