"We have entered a space where we literally own
nothing."
~ Guy
What happens when 25 years of digital identity vanishes overnight
because of a $500 gift card?
This jaw-dropping story exposes how deeply we've surrendered
control of our digital lives to platforms that can lock us out
without recourse.
But is there a way to reclaim sovereignty over our identities,
payments, and content before we lose everything?
Check out the original article 20 Years of Digital Life,
Gone in an Instant by Dr Paris Buttfield-Addison. (Link:

"The images are hacks in the first place, and it's not
like Bitcoin had like a 'please put your NFT here' sign, so
hackers found weird ways to do it. And if you stop them from
using that weird way, they'll just do it some other weird way.
And so the CAT kind of understands that and says, fine, we can't
stop you from making these things and we're not going to try to
stop you from making these things. Instead, we're going to
disrupt your markets, disrupt the trust in your markets and
remove all financial incentive to do this in the first
place."
~ The Shitcoin Insider
In this Chat episode with the Shitcoin Insider, we dive straight
into the wild world of AI tooling, vibe coding, Bitcoin protocol
design, and the new CAT proposal that has everyone fired up. We
explore whether spam is actually a threat, what this new proposal
would do to ordinal markets, and why the social layer of Bitcoin
governance matters more than people admit. I ask what truly
counts as an exploit, and whether sats can stay fungible when the
market tries to make them something else.
We talk about censorship, mailing list politics, and why shutting
down discussion only breeds distrust. Along the way we wander
into AI powered creativity, distributed databases, and the
strange overlap between developers and spammers. This one is part
technical deep dive, part culture critique, and part nostalgia
for the Shitcoin Insider days.
If you want to hear a conversation that asks uncomfortable
questions and laughs at the absurdity of it all, this episode is
for you.

"The broad point is that only the strong survive was
correct. We are entering the endgame of crypto having any reason
to exist.
My thesis as to why it exists at all is a combination of
a novel vector for gambling and an affinity scam.
Bitcoin is extremely difficult to even begin to
understand, and even though what it fundamentally 'fixes' is
money printing, its novelty ironically lends itself to confusing
the uninitiated and impatient with meaningless appeals to
'blockchain technology' that manifest as attempts to print
money."
~ Allen Farrington
In this episode I read Allen Farrington’s follow‑up to “Only the
Strong Survive” and then ask a blunt question: if Bitcoin can now
do everything crypto promised, does the rest of the casino have
any reason to exist? Is ARKADE, Lightning, and e‑cash the real
endgame for programmability and global banking on Bitcoin?

"We cannot master any one particular modality in the way that
a company can master that on their own when it's the only thing
they do. Basically what we can do at PPQ, is we can bring all of
these models in one place and we can make the experience 90 to 95
% as good as the solo subscription. And I think in some cases
that works perfectly well for people, and if that is true, then
PPQ is going to go a long way."
~ Matt Ahlborg
In this Chat, I speak with Matt from PPQ.ai about the broken
world of AI subscriptions, the power of micropayments, and why
Lightning-enabled pay-per-use may be the future of AI tooling.
What is subscription hell really costing us, in money, attention,
and creative freedom? Can tiny sats and better UX replace the
wall of monthly fees and unlock new ways for creators to earn?
Along the way, we explore the pain of credit‑card‑based
subscription methods, the explosion of AI models, and how PPQ.ai
brings them all into one place with simple Lightning payments.
It’s a packed conversation covering Bitcoin, Lightning, AI, UX
friction, and the future of creator monetization.
