It's strange that none of the Western leaders seem to have anything to say about this. How is it that EVERYBODy is scared of Israel?

Your stablecoin transactions are public by default. Not anymore. $BOLD can now be shielded through @RAILGUN_Project and the privacy focused wallet, Kohaku 👀. A truly sovereign stablecoin that's also private. @EthereumFndn's @ncsgy explained at ETH CC 👇 cypherpunk DeFi will win.

Banger. A few of my favourites; • AI will break the effort-to-value link. This is more psychologically damaging than inequality by itself. People can survive unfairness better than they can survive the feeling that their striving is irrelevant. • A paradise for the self-directed few can coexist with a meaning recession for the many. • Abundance and meaning can move in opposite directions. This may be the deepest civilizational novelty of the AI era: material life improves while subjective purpose decays. • Civilizations are not mainly threatened by discomfort; they are threatened by superfluity. A society full of people who feel unnecessary is more dangerous than a society full of people who are merely poor.

The helium collapse accelerates. All mass spec labs are about to go dark. Medical imaging, too, for those instruments that use helium. My lab has a 1-year supply of helium in place, because I saw this coming and ordered my analysts to stock up in early March. Apparently we got the last available "extra" helium in the supply chain. Now it's scarcity and, soon, panic.

justin sun vs wlfi the original token deployed sep 2024 had no blacklist and no seizure, but it was upgradable. the blacklist was added in v2 on aug 24, 2025. 11 months after sun invested and one week before trading opened. on nov 19, 2025, another upgrade added batch reallocation, essentially seizing, justified with saving phished funds. whatever the paper contract said, the code for vesting contract supports cliff dates, linear schedules, and up to 8 segments per category. wlfi used none of these to restrict sun. they chose 20% instant lump-sum unlock, then punished him for using a fraction of it. the remaining 80% has no vesting schedule at all, 7+ months later, claimable() returns 0. the vesting contract has per-category schedules to enforce token lockups. what's interesting is wlfi has carved out a special category 3 specifically for justin sun, he's the only user in it. the other 519 investors are in category 1. 14 minutes before sun activated his wallet, wlfi's own 3-of-5 multisig configured category 3 to release 20% of his 3b allocation as freely transferable tokens at trading start. over the next 3 days sun transferred out 55m. a single guardian eoa (also on multisig) blacklisted him. that address is also the sole owner of a second guardian safe with threshold 1. so one person can freeze anyone, while seizing requires 3-of-5. meanwhile, the same multisig is using 5b wlfi as collateral on dolomite to borrow $250m in stablecoins. they represent 98% of all wlfi on dolomite and 86% of the protocol's entire borrow volume. two safes with the same five signers, running a usd1/usdc loop that recycles borrowed usd1 as collateral to borrow usdc and feed it back.

@dampedspring OpenAI, SpaceX, Anthropic?

Pick your money multiplier to compare but over 5 Years during the dot com era a huge amount of capital was raised by 800 companies or so. The IPO calendar of just 3 companies represents 40% of all money raised during that 5 years in one six month period (in "equivalent dollars")

AI 2027 is 88% accurate so far. I tracked all predictions from the AI 2027 scenario and progressively evaluated them. I also graphed @DKokotajlo's original AI 2027 METR curve in red, alongside current @METR_Evals p80 scores and @EpochAIResearch's ECI-extrapolated METR (R²=0.974). We are still on track. The rest of the early-2026 predictions depend on whether or not "Agent 1", a Mythos class model, gets released soon.

Hoping we get to buy $NOW for sub $70 but already started DCAing Audited public companies will not vibe code essential software I think the edge is understanding the difference between system of record / essential software and software that makes sense to vibe code

caught up a bit on WLFI-drama, since I never invested, nor traded (apart from shorting on TGE) all I can really say, very briefly you dont hate Trump family enough, and if you are pro-crypto and still supporting this thief/scammer family, you need to get yourself checked

Two points that remain top of mind for me. How do you solve these? 1. Delays that don't open the Strait keeps negative carry on the stock market x.com/qthomp/status/… 2. Iran is not going to open the Strait for a ceasefire and forego all of its leverage x.com/qthomp/status/…

The Dream Team failed. Total shock. We sent two of our most mediocre real estate developers and a fraud. Who could’ve guessed this outcome?

if you are sure you want to build something great and get rich in the process but don't know what, do yourself a favor and read this:

spent the last month building a personal AI research infrastructure on a mac mini. no cloud. no saas. here's what’s running full bitcoin node. bitcoin core v29, 944k+ blocks, full txindex. powered by @umbrel home. also running a local @mempool instance, @mononautical's bitfeed, and @w_s_bitcoin's quantum exposure dashboard to track P2PK address exposure bitcoin analytics DB. postgresql ingesting every block in real time. per-block fee rate percentiles, hash rate, segwit %, inscription counts, miner IDs, transaction pattern classification, and address type breakdown (P2PK through P2TR). daily aggregates: puell multiple, mayer multiple, NVT, supply issuance, MVRV, SOPR, URPD, and many more. 5,700 days of price history and blockchain data. a lot of what i'm building is directly credited to or expands on work by @checkmatey, @TXMCtrades , @nic_carter, @willywoo, @w_s_bitcoin, and many others. will share more about what these look like in the future OFAC sanctions and known criminal address monitor. 518 sanctioned BTC addresses from treasury's SDN list, data from open source attribution sets, scanning every block and unconfirmed mempool tx. instant telegram alert the moment a sanctioned address moves large PnL alerts. monitors inputs ≥10 BTC for realized gain/loss vs. cost basis. fires when >40% move and >$1M.

Trump extraction timeline Built from the Gold Paper, White House orders, SEC actions, public disclosures, company statements, blockchain analysis, and major investigations including MASTR, WSJ, ABC, and Fortune. 12/16/2021 Melania entered the NFT business. The monetization phase had already started. 12/15/2022 Trump launched his first NFT trading cards at $99 each. Politics became digital merchandise. 12/2023 The Georgia mugshot became another product. The MugShot Edition tied 47 card purchases to a suit fragment and a Mar a Lago dinner invite. 08/27/2024 The “America First” NFT collection followed. Buy 15 cards, get a piece of the debate suit. Buy 75, get a gala dinner. Brand loyalty was now a purchase tier. 09/16/2024 World Liberty Financial was unveiled on X Spaces. The Gold Paper later showed the structure plainly: 100 billion $WLFI, 30% to co founders, no profit rights for holders, 22.5 billion $WLFI plus 75% of net protocol revenue to DT Marks DEFI LLC, and 7.5 billion plus 25% to AMG and WC Digital Fi LLC. The same document’s supporting team listed 12 people, including 4 Trumps and 3 Witkoffs. 10/15/2024 The $WLFI sale went live. Buyers quickly learned what the fine print meant: governance cosplay for the public, cash flow for insiders. 11/25/2024 Justin Sun entered with $30 million while facing SEC fraud pressure. He later said his total commitment rose to $75 million and became an adviser. 01/16/2025 Four days before the inauguration, a UAE linked firm associated with Sheikh Tahnoon signed a $500 million deal for a 49% stake in World Liberty. The deal did not surface publicly until February 2026. Months later came the chip approvals. 01/17/2025 $TRUMP launched 3 days before the inauguration. Only 200 million coins entered circulation. 800 million stayed with CIC Digital and Fight Fight Fight. Within 2 weeks, estimates put trading fees at roughly $86 million to $100 million while about 200000+ Meteora wallets were already losing. 01/19/2025 $MELANIA launched and extended the family memecoin cycle. Both tokens later crashed hard from their early peaks. 01/19 to 01/20/2025 During inauguration days, World Liberty’s fundraising accelerated toward nearly $300 million. In January, the fine print also changed so the Trump side took control through a 60% stake in the controlling entity. The family position tightened as money rushed in. 02/26/2025 The SEC paused its civil fraud case against Justin Sun, citing public interest. 03/06/2025 Trump signed Executive Order 14233 creating the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and the United States Digital Asset Stockpile. The government was now formally directed to hold BTC while the family was already deep in crypto. 03/24/2025 Trump Media partnered with Crypto com to launch crypto and “Made in America” investment products through Truth Fi. 03/25/2025 World Liberty announced USD1, backed by Treasuries, dollars, and cash equivalents, after raising more than $550 million from $WLFI sales. 03/28/2025 Trump pardoned BitMEX co founders Arthur Hayes, Benjamin Delo, and Samuel Reed. Gregory Dwyer and the BitMEX operating entity were cleared too. Another crypto legal burden vanished. All 3 received presidential pardons. Then the company itself was pardoned. $100 million in fines cancelled. 03/31/2025 Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Hut 8 launched American Bitcoin. Hut 8 folded most of its mining operations into the venture for an 80% stake. America First? Hut 8 is canadian. 04 2025 MASTR, described as Abu Dhabi based, bought $25 million of World Liberty tokens. 04/23/2025 Trump offered the top 220 $TRUMP buyers a private gala dinner. By then, Chainalysis estimated the coin had already generated at least $350 million in fees for connected entities. 05/01/2025 USD1 was selected to close MGX’s $2 billion investment in CZs Binance. The stablecoin stopped being a slogan and became a transaction rail. MGX is chaired by Sheikh Tahnoon. 05/12/2025 The dinner contest closed with $147.6 million in time weighted $TRUMP holdings across the top 220. Since launch, 592962 wallets had lost about $3.9 billion, while large holders dominated the upside. 05/22/2025 The dinner happened. More than half of the 220 holders were likely based outside the United States. Justin Sun won first place with an $18.5 million wallet and posted a video from the Executive Office Building the day before. By then, the coin’s operators had earned about $320.19 million in fees, more than 60 large wallets had made close to $1.5 billion, and about 600000 smaller wallets were down $3.9 billion. Presidential access had become a leaderboard prize. 05/27/2025 Trump Media announced a $2.5 billion raise to build a bitcoin treasury: $1.5 billion in stock and $1 billion in convertible notes. 06/14/2025 The public financial disclosure made the machine visible in numbers. More than $600 million in income across crypto, golf, licensing, and other ventures. Included were $57.35 million from World Liberty token sales, $1.16 million from Trump NFTs, about $216700 from Melania NFT licensing, about $320 million in estimated $TRUMP fees, and more than $400 million taken in by the family from World Liberty. Add watches, sneakers, fragrances, and the Greenwood Bible. 06/25 to 06/27/2025 World Liberty said it was planning a stablecoin audit and a new app. Then Aqua 1, a UAE based fund with a minimal public footprint, announced a $100 million $WLFI purchase, becoming the largest publicly known investor at the time. 07/16/2025 Holders voted to make $WLFI tradable. The family’s token position moved one step closer to open market monetization. 10/23/2025 Trump pardoned Changpeng Zhao. Binance had already boosted the ecosystem by accepting USD1 for the MGX transaction. Several MASTR tweets about Binance-Trump- CZ deals went viral. 10/28/2025 Investigation estimated about $802 million in crypto income for the Trump organization in the first half of 2025 alone. Roughly $463 million came from World Liberty token sales. About $336 million came from the $TRUMP memecoin. 01/07/2026 World Liberty sought a national trust bank charter focused on USD1 operations. 01/14/2026 Pakistan signed an agreement with a World Liberty affiliate to explore USD1 for cross border payments. 03/13/2026 World Liberty offered “guaranteed direct access” to its business development team for investors willing to lock about $5 million in $WLFI. Under the project terms, 75% of new token sale revenue flowed to the Trump family, so a $5 million buy effectively routed about $3.75 million their way. That is the stack. NFTs. Mugshot monetization. Debate suit monetization. $WLFI extraction. $TRUMP. $MELANIA. Inauguration week token frenzy. USD1 stablecoin infrastructure. Dinner access for whales. American Bitcoin. Truth. Fi and crypto ETFs. Bitcoin treasury plays. Foreign capital. Pardons. Pay for access. It was and is a full extraction machine built around brand, office, access, loyalty, speculation, and political proximity. I am glad people are finally waking up. But the Witkoffs and the Trumps will keep going until they all end up behind bars.

I am a Web3 Ambassador at World Liberty Financial. There are 12 of us on the team page. 4 are named Trump. 3 are named Witkoff. The page calls us "the passionate minds shaping the future of finance." 600,000 wallets bought our memecoin. They lost $3.87 billion. The family collected $350 million in trading fees. It launched 3 days before the inauguration. 80% of the supply went to CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC. I did not choose the names. I designed the allocation, the vesting, the timing, and the distance between the product and the President. The distance is my best work. I am the reason these events are unrelated. World Liberty Financial sends 75 cents of every dollar to DT Marks DEFI LLC. That is the family entity. Zero capital contributed. Zero liability assumed. I wrote this into the Gold Paper. Page 14. The lawyers bound it in white leather. The binding cost more than the due diligence. Justin Sun invested $75 million. He was facing SEC fraud charges. The SEC dropped the case. He is now our advisor. These events are unrelated. Changpeng Zhao pleaded guilty to federal money laundering violations. He received a presidential pardon. The SEC dropped its lawsuit against his exchange the same week we listed our stablecoin. Then the exchange settled a $2 billion deal entirely in that stablecoin. These events are unrelated. Arthur Hayes, Benjamin Delo, and Samuel Reed of BitMEX pleaded guilty to Bank Secrecy Act violations. All 3 received presidential pardons. Then the company itself was pardoned. $100 million in fines. Gone. An American first. These events are unrelated. Sheikh Tahnoun of Abu Dhabi paid $500 million for a 49% stake that was never publicly disclosed. Then the administration approved semiconductor exports to his companies over national security objections. These events are unrelated. Everything is unrelated. I track the unrelatedness on a dashboard I built. The dashboard has 7 columns now. I am proud of the dashboard. On May 22nd, 220 people paid a combined $148 million to eat dinner with the America First president. Over half were foreign nationals. Justin Sun paid $18.5 million for the first seat. He visited the Executive Office Building the day before. I designed the seating chart. I put it on the Investor Confidence page. That page is doing well. The team page lists 3 Witkoffs. All 3 are Co-Founders. Steven Witkoff is the President's Middle East envoy. He testified as a character witness at the President's fraud trial. His son Zach runs the crypto operation. His son Alex is also a Co-Founder. I have not been told what Alex co-founded. The father runs the diplomacy. The sons run the platform. The family runs both. That is organizational efficiency. Barron is 19. His title is Web3 Ambassador. The same as mine. Donald Jr. called the conflicts of interest "complete nonsense." Eric launched a Bitcoin mining company called American Bitcoin. America First. The mining partner is Hut 8. Hut 8 was founded in Canada. America First means the name. On March 6th, the President signed Executive Order 14233 creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The order directs the government to hold Bitcoin. The President's family holds billions in Bitcoin. The executive order appreciates the President's assets by presidential decree. I did not write the executive order. I made sure it looked unrelated to the portfolio. Trump Media put $2 billion of Bitcoin on its balance sheet. The ticker symbol is DJT. His initials. The press secretary said it is absurd to insinuate the President profits off the presidency. Forbes calculated his crypto holdings exceed the combined value of Mar-a-Lago and Trump Tower. I would call that absurd too. That is my job. 600,000 wallets bought in. 1 of them asked why she could not withdraw her funds. I told her the protocol was experiencing dynamic market conditions. She asked what that meant. I sent her the Gold Paper. She said she had read the Gold Paper. I muted her channel. Dynamic means the conditions change. The condition that changed was her access. A congressman called us the world's most corrupt crypto startup operation. We put it on a coffee mug. Ironic merchandise. $45. The revenue split on the mug is also 75/25. My own tokens vest on a different schedule. I wrote that schedule. That is not in the Gold Paper. The memecoin funds the family. The family funds the platform. The platform funds the stablecoin. The stablecoin funds the deals. The deals require the pardons. The pardons free the partners. The partners fund the platform. The President signs the executive orders. The executive orders inflate the assets. The assets fund the family. I am the reason these events are unrelated.

I love all the WLFI presale investors getting pissy and saying they are going to sue for fraud Brother, the team page was the Trump family tree what did you expect
