 Thinking what will win the day.. AI and it solutions. Whereas government used to throw money at problems they will likely indiscriminately throw AI. jmo though.

 Is there a NIP or draft For polls? There were a few that seemed to come and go. 
 Maybe the most interesting thing to think about is how nation states and large holders will be incentivized to engage with the Bitcoin code and development. To not be is irresponsible. I am guessing consensus with Bitcoin code is going to get political?

 this life is precious.

There is only now.
Until there isn’t.
Then death.
Since death is guaranteed,
this life is precious.

Death is certain, yet the time of death is not.

 Some 23 years ago this happened. Uncanny timing of the death of this senator and his family in a plane crash.

 If you voted for Kamala, I don’t care.

If you voted for Trump, I don’t care.

 His work is fascinating and its connection to the thunderbolts project. So many rabbit holes to discover.

 All of these plus polls 
 This is frightening in a indescribable way. I would choose self governance. 
 So every natural disaster or event that uncovers the governments inability to help the citizens will intensify freedom tech?

 Sun, I ask you, why are you trying to kill us?

Sun: 
Because you are trying to kill yourselves. 
 Anyone out there have a HAM radio license? How would I get started in learning more about HAM? 
 Do you have a hamm radion store in your area? They would be a great local resource.

 If you got a tool that makes it easier I say use it, Power or not. Time will come you will be forced to do a great many things the hard way.

 (Idea for a value add in the client realm?) Community note or quick reference for terms, acronyms and tech stuff used on nostr. Would anyone else get value from this? There is alot of low or no context info around that falls on deaf ears because of lack of syntax understanding

 Most retail purchases of BTC is done via lightning.. at least on my apps. Maybe lightning BTC is getting sucked up? 
 I would rather have my neighbors and I govern ourselves than vote for politicians every few years. 
 When the pendulum of censorship swings back, and if Nostr remains resilient, its true value will become clear. 
 Software  going down is misleading ,. Most big suites are subscriptions that adds up over time. I miss buy it once and you are done. 
 You are right, 3000 for 5 years is only enough for: 
By investing $49.99 each month in Bitcoin starting from May 2013 to May 2018 (a total of 5 years), you would have accumulated approximately 7.89 Bitcoin.

 I sometimes wonder if Hollywood will make a movie or series based on the story of Satoshi or Bitcoin. 
 What are some of the best movies of the past five years?

 From what you have posted, and i have read.  Seems like a lot of places. Politicians are the only ones benefiting from friction in society. Their answer is to limit communication and contact. 
 For a limited time only: Reply to this Nostr note with something positive and get zapped. Try it.   
 Be kind to yourself and others.
