Brazil leads the world in Bitcoin and crypto adoption.
Another fun fact from the Chainalysis report: USA and Nigeria are mirror opposites in crypto adoption.
USA #1 in balances but #20 in peer-to-peer.
Nigeria is nearly the reverse.

#AI isn't just about generating images, writing emails, or automating workflows.
Sometimes, it's about genuinely improving people's lives.
A new study published in Nature Medicine explores how AI can help people with #epilepsy better understand their neurological activity, receive real-time alerts, and even improve seizure detection through their own feedback.
This is the kind of innovation that we love seeing.
Not replacing humans. Empowering them.
Technology is a tool. What we build with it matters. ⚡

🧡 It's Monday Night Dad Joke Time! ⚡
Why did the #Bitcoin miner go to therapy?
Because he had too many unresolved blocks.....
Don't worry, he's working through them one confirmation at a time. 🥁🤪

Hey NOSTR—We're developing an open-source Lightning course and looking for a fully online (browser-based) instance of Lightning Polar.
Think 'Polar meets Replit'—usable from anywhere, even public computers.
Any leads or ideas appreciated⚡️
