@Plamen__Andonov Plamen turning nationalist was not on my bingo card.

100% agreed with everything you said. 100%. You are spot on. So let me explain to you what I am proud of and why it matters. First lets clarify in my mind what the word racist means as it might differ than from the dictionary in your head. To me a racist person is someone who aknowledges that on planet Earth there's the species called humans and that there are a few races of. A racist aknowledges the difference between the difference races. Based on their genome, hormones in their body, amount of testosterone produced, etc, we end up with psychological and physical differences between the races. Different average height, different length of some other stuff, different average inteligence (not talking about education here, natural pattern recognition), different levels of agression - higher testosterone in the body equals more agression, desire to succeed, willingless to push through, etc. What I am proud of is that because we still DO have open racist in Bulgaria there is a chance that Bulgaria will remain a white country. So now lets go through two things in that sentance. Open racist and white country. I find it, quite frankly, stupid that sosciety decided to pretend that we are a bit stupid and we don't know that races exist and that there's a difference between them. While at the same time when you watch NBA you know you will be watching black people throwing ball. You know that the next person who beaks Usain Bolt world record is going to be black. You don't know per say, but you can have reasonable expectation that it will be. Why is that? Are you racist? No. You are just not stupid. You know that the remaining black population, on average, have the best athelets so chances are.... indeed... the next world champion is going to be a black person. Is this a bad thing? For how many years will the world's fastest guy be black? Where is the divercity in world champions for running?! You see the irony? So about th white country - are there countries in which 99% population are black? There is. You know that. No need to name them or to fact check me. It's common knowledge that no one disputes. And I am not against that. I am absolutely fine having countries that are 100% black. The issue is, though, that Europe used to be made of white countries with white people. Austria, Sweden, Switzerland, Netherlands, Finaldn, Norway - in my head are all white countries. This, however, starts to change. I am of the opinion that the world benefits from having a white country. I would love to be able to go to an African country and see ONLY black people. No divercity whatsoever. To me this is COOL. I want to be able too go to a black country. Communicate there only with black people. Hear their accent. See their customs. See their way of living. Be able to emrce myself in >their< country. I believe fot the same reasons we need white countries. So black people can travel to them and find them exotic. Issue is, France used to be a white country. With every decade it's becoming less so. In last 5 years Spain has introduced enormous amount of black people. Mainly living off wellfare. In the coming two decades most of western Europe is going to go 50/50 white to black population. You know that in Vienna, the city that gave us Mozart and Beethoven, already has 50% of their kids in school Muslim, right? So I am proud that Bulgaria have people who are open racist - go against western soscietal normals that tells us to pretend we are stupid and we don't know that the human species have a few races with their own unique traits - and that therefore Bulgaria have a chance to remain a white country - as I want these to exist in 100 years and I want to be able to travel to black and to white countries and emerce in the local's way of life. Bulgaria is a nation with lots of traditions and wierd customs that were shaped over the centuries. Unique ones, not seen anywhere else. It would be a shame to lose that.

Boil the Oceans You know the phrase: “don’t boil the ocean.” Everyone’s said it in some overly ambitious meeting. It’s good advice in normal times. It keeps teams focused. It prevents scope creep. But we are no longer in normal times, and I think it’s time to retire saying it. Artificial Superintelligence means it’s time to boil the ocean. We’ll start with a few lakes first. I was recently with a university endowment’s head of private investing who told me their engineers were terrified for their jobs after seeing what Claude Code could do. And I get it — that’s the natural first reaction. But it’s the wrong one. It’s a zero-sum reaction to a positive-sum moment. Instead of worrying about doing the same thing we’ve been doing for cheaper, why not focus on doing the thing we never even dreamed of doing? Why can’t that endowment achieve 50% net IRR instead of 10%? Why can’t a startup deliver a service that is 100x better than the incumbent? Why can’t we have fusion energy? Why can’t we talk to every single user and have a perfect understanding of every bug in our product? These aren’t rhetorical questions anymore. They’re engineering problems with paths to solutions. Here is what I think is actually going on with the fear: our fear of the future is directly proportional to how small our ambitions are. If your plan is to keep doing exactly what you’re doing, then yes, a machine that can do it faster and cheaper is terrifying. But if your plan is to do something dramatically bigger, then the machine is the best news you’ve ever gotten. If you’re a worker — someone who trades labor for a living — this is the moment to become a builder. Start a business. And if you’re already management or capital, it’s time to go 10x more hardcore on what your aspirations could be. Not eking out 5% efficiency gains. Not increasing profit margins 2% by lowering cost and firing people. Those are the old games. The new question is: what would it look like to build a product or service so good that people would happily pay 10x what they pay now? The net result of this is more jobs, not fewer. As Ryan Petersen likes to say, the human desire for more things is absolutely limitless. We can actually fulfill that desire now — if we have the agency to prompt it for ourselves. Buckminster Fuller coined the term “ephemeralization” in 1938: doing more and more with less and less until eventually you can do everything with nothing. His entire vision of progress was about technology enabling radical expansion of human capability through dematerialization. He traced this from stone bridges to iron trusses to steel cables — each iteration stronger, longer, lighter, cheaper. He wasn’t describing job destruction. He was describing civilization getting better at being civilization. This is Jevons Paradox for everything. When you make a resource dramatically more efficient, you don’t use less of it — you use vastly more. Steam engines didn’t reduce coal consumption. They made coal so useful that demand exploded. The same thing is about to happen with intelligence, with labor, with every service and product we can imagine. But Jevons Paradox doesn’t activate on its own. It requires capital and management to actually raise their ambitions — to boil lakes and oceans instead of drowning them in committee That’s what startups have always been good at: moving fast in the face of radical uncertainty, building for the 10x future while everyone else is optimizing for the 1.05x present. Time to start.

@mert I can do that

there is room on Solana to build a true privacy-first wallet default private swaps, sends, and bridging would be massive privacy is about reducing information leaks, and to truly do this, it must be done in a vertically integrated way I will fund this (only if on Solana)

@pumatheuma 🤯

This is ZK’s man on the moon moment. Real-time Ethereum proving has landed. If you had asked anyone in ZK 1 year ago whether this was possible, they would have said it was a literal moonshot. A distant, pie in the sky achievement requiring breakthroughs across cryptography, algorithms, engineering and more. Seeing it live today is remarkable. So much hard work and love went into this from all parts of the Succinct team to create the first zkVM that can prove 90+% of Ethereum blocks in < 12 seconds: • Our cryptographers who designed and implemented an entirely new proof system based on multi-linear polynomials, that will likely become the standard for zkVMs to come. • The performance engineers who monkey-coded CUDA kernels to ensure primitives like LogUp GKR, sum check and others were blazing fast. • The cloud infrastructure team who orchestrated a bare-metal deployment on 100s of GPUs and optimized the distributed system to minimize latency, shaving off milliseconds where it counts. • Our marketing and design team who created the launch video to show a behind the scenes look of all of the technology involved. I couldn’t be more proud of the Succinct team for their relentless pace in advancing the ZK space.

Never bet against technology

@drakefjustin What incentivizes the prover to keep generating and publishing proofs?

🤯 real-time proving is here 🤯 Mainnet EVM blocks proven in under 1 Ethereum slot (12s). Goosebumps. Succinct proves every Ethereum L1 block: → 94% in <12s → 99% in <13s → 99.9% in <12s, soon™ Yesterday RISC Zero unveiled a $120K home GPU cluster—proofs expected in 9.25s. Brevis, OpenVM, Snarkify, ZisK, ZKM are weeks from joining the real-time club. Soon™ my validator will verify EVM blocks on a Rasberry Pi Pico—a $5 board that consumes <1W. I will ditch my EL client in favour of a zkEL. No 1 TB NVMe. Goodbye Geth, hello zkReth. Stateless and RAMless verification in milliseconds on a single CPU core. With real-time proving 1 gigagas/sec (10K TPS) is within reach, without compromising validator decentralisation. From now on expect regular gas limit bumps. 10% of stake is already voting for a 60M limit—your validators can too. Snarkifying mainnet turns Ethereum L1 into the first based and native rollup. Stage 2. Bug-free. Decentralised sequencing. No security council. No governance. The L1 will lead by example. This Friday we celebrate. Join us for Ethproofs call #2, May 23 at 2pm UTC. 25 speakers, 2 hours of content. Calls are open—DM @corcoranwill for a calendar invite. We are witnessing history. Believe in something real. Believe in real-time proving.

@adeolRxxxx The protocol had some very obvious bugs too

This new wave on cantina is surprising really, I’m not even understanding anymore. Where did this influx of researchers come from? wtf

Bitcoin is a high-IQ, low-time-preference asset in a world addicted to DoorDash, dopamine, and debt. Holding Bitcoin requires patience, conviction, and the ability to not panic when CNBC tells you it’s dead for the 47th time. That rules out, oh I don’t know - 95% of the population? This isn’t some egalitarian revolution. This is a cognitive filter disguised as a monetary network. The rich, the strategic, the elite - those who understand volatility as opportunity - will stack the hardest asset on Earth while the masses beg for interest rate cuts and $600 stimmies to buy groceries they can't afford. It's not a level playing field. It's a time-preference war, and Bitcoin is the scoreboard. And every cycle, we watch it happen again. The media ridicules it, the politicians fear it, and the smart money buys more. While fiat punishes savers and rewards financial nihilism, Bitcoin inverts the whole structure. It’s a vault for those who can delay gratification, think generationally, and understand that true wealth is preserved rather than printed. The game isn’t rigged. It’s just calibrated for adults.

This is why owning bitcoin is still the best trade

1/ Last week, our chief cryptographer @dimonikolaev took part in an ETHOxford panel, discussing AI agents. TL;DR: blockchain will act as the coordination layer for AI, helping agents raise capital and pay each other (or humans) for tasks! Missed the panel? Catch Dimo here next👇

@blockchainox @homedao @IEEEBlockchain Glad I had the chance to participate in the panel "AI Agents on Blockchain." I think we had an interesting conversation!

Today is the day! - Oxford AI x Blockchain Conference - EthOxford Hackathon LFG!! 🚀

@metaproph3t Futarchy is what enables the Blocksense protocol to go beyond the typical 51% honest participants assumption and what allows us to say that we are protected by all the liquid capital in the world: youtube.com/watch?v=_Qm0wc…

2025 will be the year of ZK

@0xPolygon I'm telling them that Blocksense is a ZK-rollup for verifiable data and compute services but it isn't a L3. Of course, they’ll just nod and ask if it’s like "Bitcoin" and whether it’s worth buying.😅 Happy Thanksgiving!

so what are we telling our families this year

🤝 Blocksense has partnered with @citrea_xyz ! We’re blown away by how Citrea is transforming #Bitcoin with its ZK-rollup tech & unlocking Bitcoin’s blockspace for building all kinds of applications. ZK meets limitless potential🚀 We’re honored to be deployed on their testnet!

@fermah_xyz Standardization will improve a lot of things: interoperability, tooling, composability, adoption, security, scalability, and innovation.

What open problems in ZK do you want to see addressed, anon?
