@sama I just subscribed to Claude. I hardly use OpenAi anyway due to their lacking morals, displayed by their CEO time and again.

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement. We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only. We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements. We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

@_basjacobs Naast het effect dat lange termijn beleggen voor kleinere beleggers onaantrekkelijk wordt gemaakt door de aanwasbelasting is het gekozen tarief ook exorbitant hoog en nergens ter wereld gezien. De hele opzet is een draak van een plan...

Ruud van den Dool, Aart Gerritsen en Bas Jacobs - Bekritiseerde vermogensaanwasbelasting is toch echt de beste keuze voor box 3 - FD: fd.nl/opinie/1587583…

@_basjacobs Als kleinere belegger uit de middenklasse is dit vanuit mijn perspectief onzin. Ik heb een lange termijn horizon. Ik wil maximaal profiteren van compounding effect. Omdat spaargeld niets oplevert. Lange termijn beleggen is mijn appeltje voor de dorst die VAB ernstig verstoord..

@Loetje11 @RTLZ @RTLnieuws Tja, soms lastig bij enkel tekst zonder non verbale communicatie, intonatie etc. Dan zie mijn respons als een aanvulling en geen kritiek 🙏

@Yargonius @RTLZ @RTLnieuws Sarcasme is u vreemd?

Minister van Financiën gaat nieuwe box 3-wetgeving aanpassen: 'Ik denk dat de wet zo niet door kan' rtl.nl/nieuws/politie…

@Loetje11 @RTLZ @RTLnieuws Dat doen ze dat voor lange termijn, voor hun pensioen. Vaak 10 jaar en langer. Met deze regels wordt in goede jaren de mensen bijna gedwongen dit 'beleggingsspaarpotje' te legen om belasting te betalen. Terwijl de echt vermogenden er bij lachen omdat ze het in een BV hebben...

@Loetje11 @RTLZ @RTLnieuws Domme opmerking. Pure onwetendheid. Weet je de rente op spaargeld? 1%. Terwijl inflatie wel 4-5% of meer is. Dus elk jaar wordt je geld minder waard. Wat doen mensen? Ze stoppen geld in een aandelen mandje. Een ETF bijv. Je hebt apps waar je maandelijks een x-bedrag in steekt.

@bslagter Weet verhoudingen niet tussen JOVD en moederpartij VVD. Maar je zou verwachten dat ze vóór het besluit al dit soort opmerkingen intern stevig kenbaar gemaakt hebben. Anders is dit mooi mee waaien met de massale kritiek in het land.

VVD: “Rust in je portemonnee” JOVD: “Inmiddels weten we wat daarmee wordt bedoeld. Die portemonnee is straks leeg.” Oef!

@InvestingVisual @labolsaconjulio Het is meer een Li-Re verhaal dan je denkt. VVD tel ik niet mee als rechts. Links zou moeten opkomen voor het volk. Maar met deze actie raken ze de kleinere beleggers die geen BV's etc gaan optuigen en dus hun investering (moeten) liquideren.

@labolsaconjulio Ik denk dat het niet eens zozeer een 'links vs rechts' verhaal is. Over de volle breedte hebben partijen hiermee ingestemd, wat het in mijn ogen des te kwalijker maakt.

The Dutch government is destroying long term compounding by introducing a 36% tax on unrealized gains. As a Dutch citizen and long term investor, I’m at a loss for words about the lack of vision behind this new tax. I normally don’t post anything politically related, but what our government is planning to do is disastrous for long term investors. This is the sad truth. Most people here start investing to protect themselves against inflation and ever rising pension ages. They’re trying to put hard earned money to work, hoping they can retire before the age of 71. And they had a real shot at that before this bill. If you started at 25 with €10,000 and contributed €1,000 every month, you could compound to €3,320,000 over 40 years. If you lived prudently, you could retire early and live off it for the rest of your life. With the new capital tax? After 40 years of compounding, you’d end up at €1,885,000. That’s a €1,435,000 difference. This tax denies generations the chance of early retirement, punishes those who take risks, and introduces severe liquidity issues for people who have been compounding successfully for years. And to what end? To fill a €2.4 billion tax hole. I’m beyond words. If you’re Dutch like me, please share this visual with fellow investors to increase awareness. Hopefully we can make our politicians understand the severity of this tax, and the breadth and depth of its destructive implications. ~ Jan

@InvestingVisual @fredjacquemin Surprise surprise, geen verrassing misschien, maar ook dan moet je (waarschijnlijk) nog langs de staatskassa om af te rekenen: "conserverende aanslag" migratiemeesters.com/blog/exit-bela…

@fredjacquemin Won't be surprised if it would😑

RT @CryptoMichNL: Today, the Dutch parliament has decided to approve the tax on unrealized gains. That means: 36% on unrealized gains on #…

@bslagter Meest vervelende aan dit soort dingen dat ze makkelijker opgetuigd worden dan dat je er vanaf komt...

Het is een onbeschrijfelijk dom plan om ongerealiseerde winst te belasten. Hier krijgen ze eindeloos veel spijt van. Tienduizenden BV’s zullen worden opgetuigd om in box2 onder deze dwaling uit te komen.

@MarioNawfal Well, sort of a mix of bad options. Self-custody and get tortured, robbed or worse for your keys. Or put it somewhere in a vault secured by an organization. That either can fail or can be pressured or forced by like the government to give up the keys. Guess a risk assessment?

🇺🇸 $11M CRYPTO HEIST HITS SAM ALTMAN’S EX-BOYFRIEND San Francisco just logged one of the wildest, most cinematic crypto robberies to date: An armed thief posing as a delivery guy finessed his way into the $4.4M Mission District home shared by investor Lachy Groom - yes, Sam Altman’s ex-boyfriend - and another tech investor named Joshua. Once inside? The intruder pulled a gun, tied Joshua up with duct tape, beat him, tortured him with personal info read aloud over speakerphone, and drained $11 million in Ethereum and Bitcoin. 90 minutes. Gone. This wasn’t a smash-and-grab. This was a targeted, organized-crime extraction - the kind hitting wealthy crypto holders worldwide. Garry Tan posted the footage, panicked enough to delete it minutes later. Crypto-security experts are now saying what everybody thinks: Self-custody is great until someone shows up at your door with a fake UPS label and a Glock. San Francisco’s tech elite are about to pivot hard into vault custody, private security, and zero public flexing - because this heist wasn’t random. It was a warning shot. Source: NY Post

@zerohedge Bullshit. Our enemies are within. They know it. Still they keep insisting that Russia is the enemy for Europa. Such propagrand. Russia is not a friend of Europe but they just serve their interests. They won't invade Europa. They don't have the capacity...

@scottmelker They capture human greed. Crypto through its history showed some enormous returns. That attracts adventurers, innovators, but also a lot of greedy inpatient people that want to speculate. Lot of founders just play that audience for their money...

Crypto has a huge problem – and it’s one we almost never talk about honestly. How do founders make hundreds of millions (or billions) from tokens they created before their products prove real utility or adoption? In traditional markets, value follows performance: founders get rich because their company builds something people use, generates profit, and grows over time. In crypto, it’s often reversed. Tokens launch first, valuations skyrocket on speculation, and founders cash out long before the product is battle-tested or the network achieves meaningful usage. The result is a strange inversion of incentives – enormous wealth built on potential rather than proof. And because tokens trade globally, that value is extracted from retail participants who are effectively subsidizing the experiment. I’m not saying founders shouldn’t be rewarded for innovation. Many are building genuinely transformative tech. But when billion-dollar fortunes are realized before success is earned, it raises a fundamental question: If the future value is still undetermined, why are the rewards already realized? That disconnect is what keeps so many people skeptical of token models. Until the industry ties founder upside more closely to actual adoption and network usage, the “speculation over substance” narrative will remain deserved.

@AndreasSteno @Kevinm135135 Please Andreas, just instantly block these haters, these are very small minded people. Who cannot value a nice post with some serious outlooks.

@Kevinm135135 That is true, but how is that related to this?

My four main takeaways for an audience of CIOs and PMs today: • The era of tariffs is permanent and will only be reinforced by advances in AI and robotics. • Remigration is set to become a pan Western political theme. • For swing voters, inflation now clearly outweighs climate concerns. • Europe is 3 to 4 years away from being led predominantly by right leaning governments and that trend will reach us soon after.

@CryptoBullet1 Do you think the cycle theory is still valid? This is the first cycle that we have BTC ETF's so i would say those in- and outflows skew the data. Plus these investors are not natives and do not have any clue (often) about BTC's origins and constraints (like the halving etc).

December 2017 = #BTC Cycle Top November 2021 = #BTC Cycle Top October 2025 = #BTC Cycle Top?? Each cycle shifts by 1 Month 🤔

This space you say. As if it is inherent to crypto. Crypto has no human characteristics it is just a label for a (new) form of financial technology. The auto-destructive is coming from us humans... It seems to weigh more here in this space because it attracts people with hopes an dreams of better life, financially. But also attract the whole spectrum of humans, grifters, scammers, criminals, whole lot of bad actors. Looking for easy gains by preying on others. It is just that crypto in this phase at least gives this kind of human behavior a lot of room to do so. Humans will always favor short term gains for long term improvement. We are such limited beings actually... I guess this is one of my more cynical days btw 🙃

is just my observation still bullish long term, especially on btc, but smart people are taking their money and leaving while keeping some allocation to btc, while the rest is totally sick and tired of how this space functions....not strange of course...something really has to change with this auto-destructive tendency this space has

Interesting that most crypto-people that i know personally a long time and whom i consider to have some brains are: - moving on from crypto to other things in life - just keep their bitcoin, but no longer invest in new crypto-projects let alone alts - totally fed up with all the crime, lies, bullshit, etc in this space - dedicating their time to exploring other investment options: ai, humanoid robots, etc how many still truly excited that crypto or bitcoin will really change anything in this world? few...can count them on less than one hand i think also that is why many og´s unloaded above the 100k mark, they did their part, had insane gains, had enough of it, and are ready to move on of course bitcoin can still grow a lot, i still believe that as well, it is just time for a new generation to take over (and until now that new generation are mostly degenerates unfortunately) anyway..just some thoughts from someone who has been here a long time

@birdseye88 @kashyap286 @LawrenceLepard Ehm, het is lange tenen. Niet korte. Lange want betekent dat je er makkelijk op kan gaan staan. Wat leidt tot een boze reactie. ensie.nl/betekenis/lang…

@kashyap286 @LawrenceLepard He has 'short toes' as we say in the Netherlands. Or a short temper basically, when it's about bitcoin. I do think there will be a shift from gold to bitcoin at some stage.

Larry @LawrenceLepard was a nice guy when he ran a gold fund. Then he pivoted to bitcoin and lost his mind. Never join a cult.

@Route2FI How many times did BTC have its ATH and then went in a bearmarket just before the FED started their QE cycle?

What is your plan if the $BTC ATH at $126k was the top this cycle? Do you have a plan B?
