@capexbt How many BTC are they mining and selling a day to fund this fantasy scenario?

Nobody has connected this yet. – Iran mines BTC for $1,300 per coin, sells every single one the same day at market price – The US bombed their grid for 27 days. BTC pumped $71K to $74K in the same window – Trump paused strikes. Machines came back online overnight. Sell pressure returned immediately. – BTC dumped daily by a nation state with a 50x margin and zero reason to hold – We’re in a war market. And the enemy is funding himself through Bitcoin The US accidentally found the off switch for crypto’s largest consistent seller. Then turned it back on.

@eptwts @wholyv Bro if you're not out of there and an expert in electronics by 2029 you're COOKED

@wholyv yeah, lemme abandon life in my safe, peaceful city in poland so that i can live in fucking toronto

right so here’s the plan > If you’re from US, japan, china and canada > Stay there > if you are from any other country > move > If you are in software, learn about electronics, FPGA, VHDL, etc. > If you are in hardware, learn how to use AI. > learn robotics > go all in on physical ai/edge ai you have about 3 years to benefit maximum out of this.

@LukeADesign That's me - starting out, but think I'll spin up a new separate account and really jump into absorbing all I can from the veterans on here.

In the past, I've designed for companies like Schwarzkopf, NYX Cosmetics, Tetley Tea and the UK government. Nobody knew that when I started posting here. I'd occasionally share a work in progress, get nothing back, and wonder where the design community actually was. Then I'd go quiet for weeks. A month ago, I decided to post properly. Educational content, behind the scenes, raw experiences from 12 years of designing. Since then, I've been able to grow my account from around 800 to nearly 1500. It's still a small account, but its really cool to feel like I can share some of my own experiences and help others who are in similar situations. I'd have killed for a community like this when I started.

Here’s the entire set of unfortunate circumstances of how we found ourselves on the verge of another GFC: 1. Trump was misinformed, he thought Iran was another Venezuela, he would blow up the regime & ppl would overthrow the rest of the govt 2. As a result, he never thought through the rest of it 3. He never game theoried the possibility of Iran taking over the Strait of Hormuz 4. Iran is in control now bc they have a stranglehold on huge percentage of global energy shipping & are destabilizing the region & petrodollar 5. TRUMP thought he could TACO himself out of the situation like he did with the tariff talks & other business deals 6. This is not a business deal, Iran is dug in, has been betrayed countless times, sees this as an existential war, their final stand & now that they have the upper hand, they aren’t negotiating anything 7. Only way to resolve this is through force, which will be the 2020s version of Vietnam 8. Iran is fighting a different kind of war, they don’t care how many casualties they have, this is do or die for them. Their mentality is more like kamikazes or those Japanese solders who were still in the jungles 30 years after the war was over. Point being this war isn’t judged by casualties or damage- Iran is willing to take more pain. 9. In summation, this is a global financial crisis, end of American empire kind of war, which America has gotten itself into unnecessarily by a leader who thought it would be over in 3 days, didn’t think it all through and thought he could manage it like a real estate deal.

@BenjaminDEKR The engineers take on design

Hot take: Design is not the issue at X. Almost nothing on here needs to be "redesigned." The design is fine. It's the functionality.

@JW100x You broke the no1 rule of investing. Never join the discord. Man went one step further.

Umbra has finally reached public mainnet. In my time before joining the team I considering Umbra to be an interesting opportunity, now that I’m on the team I consider it to be the greatest opportunity in crypto. Privacy is known for being slow, clunky, ugly to look at. Umbra is the direct anti-thesis to the old guard of privacy. It’s fast, smooth, beautiful to look at, an incredible breakout for the privacy sector. Umbra is unique in that the value we will generate will go directly to the ownership IP, which is you. The token accrues value with the business, and as Umbra gets broadly adopted as a go-to privacy wallet, the value that will come with it will be massive. Privacy is going to become the next “big thing” in crypto, institutional adoption and retail proliferation will give the privacy sector considerably more upside than anything else, and if Umbra can hold its own stake in that upside, our days ahead will be incredibly bright. We have seen months of price history on Umbra trying to price in public mainnet, but only now can it truly begin to reflect the product we have built, live for everyone. People underestimate how difficult it is to make something as complex as writing cryptography from scratch look as simple as using Phantom on your smart phone. That’s what we did, and the fact that it only took 5 months might honestly be the most impressive outcome. uodl.

@LukeADesign @trydatabuddy

Another branding project live, this time for @trydatabuddy Gonna drop more on how it came to life soon!

@LukeADesign Exactly - 'prompt engineer' already sounds odd because the skill evolved rather than staying a standalone title. My bet is same thing happens with 'design engineer' As tools get better more designers will prototype themselves. The gap between 'design' and 'dev' keeps shrinking

@GM_BAS3D I fully get it, it bridges the gap between developer and web designer I guess

When I started, my title was a graphic designer, that was it. We were taught to do everything. I did courses in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, learned Photoshop, Illustrator, how to design for print, how to write copy, edit videos and loads more. Now, you have brand designers, product designers, design engineers, UX designers, prompt curators? Not a bad thing. But I wonder sometimes if I learned everything because there was no other option, or because I thought that to call myself a designer, I needed to know everything. Probably both.

@itsanwarraza @learnframer But this isn't marketed to them, they have enough interested to warrant onboarding the next cohort into users.

@itsanwarraza @learnframer Yes, credentials and community backing will do some work, fresh eyes may need more convincing.

Honestly I am a great fan of @learnframer works, but this premier was very misleading and wasted my time. Your resources are amazing, and definitely the course from you sounds legit. If you are going to sell a course which I totally support, at least don't mislead people. Plus the video itself that I watched has no value, it was just a promo tot he website, which you could easily have sent directly in the newsletter. Anyway very disappointed in this move. @framer @orinfitzgerald

@beechinour sound

a huge differentiator between an ai slop edit and something that feels tasteful + impactful will always come down to sound design i created a swipe file of sounds + music i've collected over the years - woosh, risers, hits (cinematic sfx) - real ambience (cities, parks, crowds) - best songs for edits i'm giving away a swipe file of my favorite sounds i've collected for free comment 'sound' + rt and i'll send it over (must be following)

@iruletrenches Christ

how to make 10m dollars in 2026 buy 1% of $lobstar and hold to 1b thank you for your attention on this matter

@cryptojumanji And the sky is blue

Saw a Forbes 30 before 30 doxxed guy launch an ai agent project on Solana Clearly there was a decent web3 agency behind it (nice designs, high tier website, solid marketing pre TGE) It topped at fucking 60k mcap Would have been a 10m runner few months ago Yeah onchain is cooked

@orinfitzgerald @framer This is just another marketing thing...isn't it

they're lying about @framer... you don't need: - big following - extensive network - a face people know and trust to make $10K+ from scratch. here's how i did 0 to $11.5K in 60 days: 🧵

@pizzaboy Designing for the same principles right now - dev first is a refreshing angle to start from

Our recent client Deeptrace is an AI SRE and debugging companion backed by YC that has raised $5M. Their audience is the developer who gets paged at 2 am because something broke in production. The one staring at a terminal in dark mode with three monitors, a cold coffee, and a Slack channel blowing up. They don't want a brand that's fun, friendly and approachable. They want a brand that looks like it belongs in their stack. Sleek, modern and simple. So that's who that brand was built for. And myself, because I've been in those shoes...

@DesignGuru01 These are neat

What do I do? I do modern, clean design for a living.
