It can be like the youtube premium model. The search app is subscription based. So every time your content is served you will get paid. But you have to make your content available to the AI for crawling and mention your monetisation preferences.
Fastmail works great for me. I do not miss any emails as junk nor do i get any junk in my inbox because of using the methods explained in the link above.
Controlling your own email address is the way to go. It takes consistent effort to migrate but worth it when it is done.
Crypto influencers and companies use "inflation" incorrectly. "Inflation" has 2 means; the physical meaning and the economic meaning.
The physical meaning is the increase in size of an object.
The economic meaning is the decrease in purchasing power of a currency.
Bitcoin will become deflationary (physical term) one day, which means with time total accessible supply of bitcoin will decrease. But this is will be true only when;
number of lost bitcoins > number of mined bitcoins
We can assume this to be true after 24 years perhaps when mining reward will be too low. But at the current time bitcoin is probably inflationary (physical term).
Bitcoin's inflation (economic term) is a function of demand and supply. It is not a function of its reduced mining rewards because that does not say anything about demand. Whenever the price of bitcoin vs USD drops we can safely say the bitcoin has inflated (economic term). Over a period of last 5 years yes bitcoin has been highly deflationary (economic term). It might continue to be deflationary (economic term) for the next 100 years. Which means Bitcoin might continue to rise in value against USD.
I think no one should fool people to say that Bitcoin is deflationary (economic term) just because of limited supply. Limited supply tell us nothing about the demand. Someone's shitcoin is limited in supply too but they can't surely sell it for an ever increasing price. There has to be demand.
A lot of the Bitcoin are owned by early adopters that no longer have access to them. Bitcoin loss is happening at a pretty high rate because of that. It won't take 24 years.
When I read PG’s essays I find they are subconsciously trying to pitch YC. How everyone PG knows including him are very special and deserving. This clouds my experience of reading his essays. I am unable to derive any value from them because of this.
The main reason for this is that I see a big divide between what he says about success people and what I have observed. Success has no set pattern. It can come from a huge variety of reasons.
I really hope this is not koolaid because a lot of young people are drinking it. It would suck if it was all just to suck them into applying for YC.
