All-in on Crypto and Agents for human benefit. As a large-scale network and systems guy since the '80s, from fiber to satellite, mainframes to decentralized everything, party line telephony to personal AI...a career surfing the edge of 'advancement' from IBM corp to startups has been mind bending. 2025 is the beginning of a new age...bigger than everything we've seen so far. The world as we've known it is about to change. The good news is that it will be easier than ever to benefit from technology. The bad news is the 'divide' between those that get it and those that don't will be larger than ever. The innovations of digital computing, networking, mobile and software are foundational for a 'new world'. If you want to surf the edge of what's coming...get onboard. Here's a research report I recommend as a glimpse into the state of crypto and agency platforms at the end of 2024. It might wet your appetite as an investor, or help with a taste of what's coming. lnkd.in/g_GmB9dr @vaneck_us Activate to view larger image,

@kohenelamit A lot of people think it’s symbolic, not sure I have the choice to conclude otherwise. I pet 3:21, mark 16:16, rom 6:4, col 2:11-12. As to what happens, that’s beyond my pay grade. :). My question…why reject a beautiful gift.

If you reject water immersion then what happens?

STUDY: CHATGPT BIAS IS REAL—AND IT’S TILTING LEFT A new study confirms what many suspected—ChatGPT favors left-leaning views, often avoiding or restricting conservative perspectives. Researchers found AI-generated text and images systematically leaned left, with right-leaning prompts frequently blocked over so-called “misinformation concerns.” This raises major questions about fairness, free speech, and AI’s influence on public debate. With AI shaping news, policy, and education, experts warn: without transparency and safeguards, biased algorithms could reshape democracy itself. Source: SciTechDaily

Government transparency… Do you want it? Can you handle it? Trust won’t be rebuilt without it. Get used to it folks. #commonsense for us not so intelligent people. :)

@DrSchwertner Glad to see it! Lead on.

It's time for Texas to lead the way in establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. That’s why I filed SB 778, which, if passed and signed into law, would make Texas the first state in the nation to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. This would position our state at the forefront of the digital economy, driving growth and securing economic freedom for our great state! #txlege

@m2jr So sorry to hear Mike. Prayers for your family. It's tough losing our parents, especially the good ones.

This morning, Mike Maples Sr. passed away in Austin, Texas. To me, he wasn’t just my dad—he was a mentor, a friend, and one of the greatest inspirations of my life. Even though I knew this moment was coming, nothing could get me ready for it. It’s hard to accept that he is really gone and even harder to imagine a world without him in it. His presence was such a constant in my life, and the void his passing leaves behind feels overwhelming. I’m so grateful for the time we had, but I’ll always wish for more. My dad’s story began in 1942, in Shawnee, Oklahoma, where his curiosity and drive shaped his early years. After earning a degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Oklahoma in 1965 and an MBA from Oklahoma City University in 1969, he served in Vietnam. His business career began at IBM, where he started as a Systems Engineer and played various leadership roles over two decades. Then, in 1988, Bill Gates invited him to join Microsoft, where he served as head of products during one of the most transformative periods in the company’s history. His leadership played a vital role in establishing Microsoft as a global technology powerhouse, but what set Dad apart was his genuine ability to connect with people and make them feel valued. When he retired in 1995, he embraced a new chapter as a rancher in Cypress Mill, Texas. But retirement didn’t slow him down. He continued to mentor entrepreneurs and business leaders, sharing his wisdom and enthusiasm for innovation. Whether it was in the boardroom or on a ranch, Mike Sr’s ability to guide and inspire never changed. For all his accomplishments, my dad’s greatest pride and joy was his family. He and my mom, Carolyn, shared a extraordinary 60 years of marriage, marked by love, adventure, and unwavering support for each other. As a father to my brother Benton and me, he poured his heart into teaching us, supporting us, and, most importantly, loving us. He reveled in time with his grandchildren, and his face would light up at every family gathering, sharing stories or just enjoying the moment. He had this uncanny knack for making you feel like the most important person in the room, like life was more of a comedy than a tragedy, and like you were his partner in crime, always in on the joke. Looking back on his life, he didn’t just build a career—he built relationships, created opportunities, and left a legacy that will endure far beyond his time. He showed that it’s possible to be both powerful and kind, serious yet able to laugh at yourself. He was fiercely committed to success, but he pursued it in a way that honored the spirit of true greatness—winning not for the sake of winning at all costs, but for the sake of doing things the right way. Most of all, he tried emphasize to 'always do your best'—and not as a mere platitude. He would remind me that none of us knows how much time we have—maybe a lot, maybe just a little. But he believed that the best way to honor the gift of time was to give it your all. Do your absolute best, make the most of every moment, and strive to be the best version of yourself. For him, doing your best wasn’t just about effort—it was about gratitude. His mentorship, his laughter, and his love will forever be part of our lives. Dad, I’ll miss you beyond what words can hold. I’m still trying to process it all—there’s so much more I could say even though I’m grateful to have seen you at the very end for a last goodbye. But for now, thank you for being a guiding light and for showing up in the world in a way that every father should aspire to. Godspeed, Dad. Hopefully someday, across the great beyond, I'll see you again.

@IdMintThat a little late but Happy New Year! :)
