Programmable money has arrived on Urbit but few understand how insane the implications will be. I think I do understand, so I'm hosting a private info session for crypto devs, creators, and investors in my audience. If you RT this tweet, I'll DM you the invite.

Presenting Scene, the new Urbit desktop.

A very, very, very big deal. youtube.com/watch?v=XwICC6…

The consensus opinion is that decentralized social media will be built on a public blockchain but in reality it will be built on Urbit. If you control your own server you cannot be deplatformed.

Past 12 months have been so bullish for Urbit. Future comes at ya fast!

Crypto price tile coming soon.

Urbit usability improving rapidly

Separation of UI and state.

You know how sometimes you *know* there's a bug for months or years because the numbers are absurd but there's no conclusive proof, so you don't dig into it enough to find the issue? In the past week I've solved two of those in Urbit, and it feels so satisfying.

I do not want to live in your server anymore

Be right, when everyone else is wrong, at scale.

@urbit in one picture

You are in an #urbit ship hurtling towards the center of Jupiter, a bizarre mechanical device with strange runes on the controls Clouds teem like Chaos primeval as you sweep past fantastic vistas, in search of a diamond as large as Earth under a sea of metallic hydrogen: Nock 0K

i am against facts, against the facticity of the world, for unknowability, against consensus, and for the remystification of life

Coming soon! @urbit youtu.be/c_Qi8NKxeH4

@bronzejaguar Epic. God bless you bro.

@bronzejaguar It feels so right yet also so wrong. Implementing this natively shouldn’t be too hard but it’ll probably be really slow... wonder why no one’s done it! Maybe a good hackathon project?

@bronzejaguar This is killer. How does it work?

Urbit will destroy digital advertising and commoditize the cloud. Double whammy. joelonsoftware.com/2002/06/12/str…

If you’ve read this book you know the endgame.
