And yet the #bitcoin price chops at 70k. $34Million flows into Bitcoin on day 1 for Morgan Stanley. Iran is getting paid in Bitcoin. And the price doesn't move, again. Are the banks truly holding Bitcoin or is this all a paper bitcoin shell game?

@jimmysong Yeah, i got the 'hi' from you today, lol

OK, So it looks like I got hacked by the DPRK using a zoom call trick. If you got contacted by me on telegram and they asked to meet with you over zoom, this is why. It's to compromise your computer. Reset the computer. Change all your passwords. x.com/i/status/19999…

Terrifying? Who writes this crap?

Every single politician should be fired this year. Just vote for someone else, period.

This platform has basically become useless. I dont see anything relevant anymore. Its all spoonfed drivel that just doesnt matter.

Really? The marketing team for this event should fired. The optics on AI and Con together was not well thought out, imho.

I haven't seen either at @bitblockboom lately (if ever) - they should come hang out.

Why is it that I am 10x more productive with an #AI but still feel I am not doing enough fast enough?

At this point, i'm just an intermediary between AI agents passing notes manually between them. As soon as these two platforms link, i will stop being the bottleneck, and they can converse away in their closed loop system, and be that much more productive. Crazy times.

The weird thing about AI vibe coding is that you have to out-think the AI at times. It can build processes that are well documented, no problem. And it has 10X'd my productivity when it comes to rolling out new features. But it can forget some basic rules that you have told it. You can tell it to audit for certain filters, it will complete the task, and tell you it checked everything, but you'll find another example of a missed filter being implemented, and it will apologize with 'you're right, i understand your frustration, let me fix this immediately', and it may find four more files missing the required filter. And then it happens again. Or you tell it build a function with explicit instructions, and then it adds its own embellishment without telling you, because it is assuming you might want this feature. This is a head-banging exercise when this type happens. And then there is the loops. You start going down a path, it doesn't work, you course correct, and it attempts to take you down the same path. And you may be 20 steps in, and realize that it wants to do the same thing that failed before. It's like the definition of crazy where you do the same thing over and over and over and expect different results. And then there are instances of functions I have in old school PHP functions (you know, that ancient infrastructure that still powers 80% of the internet). You give it explicit instructions and context, it gives you what it thinks will work, and then come to find out it doesn't work at all in the version of browser you told it to make it for, and it tries a few other ways, can't do it, then tries to do the previous way that failed again. I ended up feeding it the php way of doing things, and it said "you're right, i can implement this in a way that emulates the php way, but do it for a modern language". That was a two full day exercise in trying to get it to print price tag labels in a specific size and alignment format. That one thing blows away my 10x productivity gain. But these situations are rare outliers. Two years ago, I hated the thought of AI. Garbage in, garbage out. The constant hallucinations. The gaslighting it could do telling me that what it wrote is gospel, and yet be blatantly false. And 6 fingers on a persons hand in an AI generated image. But today, I use it everyday for a variety of tasks. I just have to keep in mind that I am the watchdog and have to be vigilant in what it produces for me. Use AI. It will help you in a lot of tasks from correspondence, to app building, to calculating or number crunching large data sets. But be present in the moment (as in everything you should do in life), and look deeper into the results to keep the AI on the right path. As bitcoiners say, Don't Trust, Verify. It fits in most facets of life.

I was talking about this last year tongue-in-cheek that it might have been a good idea for an 18-month short play of car loan companies due to the liquidity tightening. Looks like it is happening. tftc.io/private-credit…

The mighty gods at x decided that bitcoin_chs violated their terms and suspended the account - for an account that just sends out meetup updates. The appeal said they lifted it, but no, no change. I'm tired of this platform.

@NEEDcreations I'm pretty sure we're in a dip.

I hate holding cash waiting for dips that may never come. I feel sick.

Grateful to @fitsnews for publishing this oped and helping raise awareness around a critical issue for #SouthCarolina. Also thankful to @SenTomDavisSC, @JoshKimbrellSC and others for taking on this legislation and engaging seriously with the policy questions involved. Open debate and informed leadership matter. There’s work to be done and we must get this right the first time ! fitsnews.com/2026/02/09/fit…
