@apruden08 Almost done listening to your interview on WBD. I have been thinking/concerned about Quantum before it became big in the last year. Agree closely with you on almost everything, thanks for your leadership in this area.

22/ I'd rather the security of blockchains not be predicated on the assumption that quantum computing progress will be slow. /End

Re: the quantum threat to Bitcoin & blockchains, there are two broad takes: (1) Quantum won't be relevant for a long time, therefore there is no need for urgency. (2) Quantum is already relevant, and we need to act with urgency. FWIW the actual quantum physicists and security experts are increasingly in world (2). People that believe we're in world (1) are either armed with bad facts, bad assumptions, or just don’t want to think critically about the impact. 🧵

Vincent Bal creates what he calls “Shadowology,” turning ordinary shadows into playful drawings with just a few pen lines. It started in 2016 when he noticed a teacup’s shadow looked like an elephant. Since then, he’s built a daily practice out of transforming simple objects into imaginative characters and scenes.

@desertnode @coldtrz 💯

@coldtrz The math is not mathing here. $10m portfolio implies he has 131 bitcoin. If he only spent $25,500 that means an average price of $190 per bitcoin You said the last 7 years, the lowest bitcoin has gone during that time is $4,000 per btc (at the COVID lows) Nice clickbait 👍

This guy has been buying $10 of bitcoin per day for 7 years straight He has spent a total of $25,500 and his portfolio just hit $10m in value

Puzzle Time ⏰ What is the missing number?

I just viewed 2 Top Secret FISA docs. 1) FISA Court opinion that raises serious concerns about FBI implementation of FISA 702. 2) letter by Senator Wyden describing a secret government interpretation of FISA law. The Constitution requires I vote No on FISA 702 reauthorization.

Your smart TV is taking screenshots of your screen every 15 seconds. Not a guess. Not a theory. A peer-reviewed study by researchers at UC Davis, UCL, and UC3M tested it. Samsung TVs: every minute. LG TVs: every 15 seconds. Even when you're just using it as a monitor. Here's how to turn it off for every brand:

@SenLummis Without stablecoin yield and a bitcoin de minimis, not as much reason to pass in my view.

This is our last chance to pass the Clarity Act until at least 2030. We can’t afford to surrender America’s financial future.

I don’t think people realize how much healthcare costs are driving big companies to fire and not hire. It costs them $30k per family, per year for premiums and care. Most of that goes to the massive, vertically integrated insurance companies that send weekly bills that no one reviews in details. And it doesn’t include the company overhead to deal with it all. It’s usually the 2nd largest expense after payroll. Which is insane It’s far easier to blame AI than it is to blame Healthcare costs. Want to increase jobs, wages and improve affordability for every American ? Break up the biggest insurance companies. Make divest non insurance companies. They don’t need thousands of subsidiaries. That’s how they game and abuse the system and increase costs for all of us. Call your senator and tell them to support the BreakUp Big Medicine Bill by @HawleyMO and @SenWarren.

@EricBalchunas Sorry to hear that. Appreciate your insights here.

Back today after being out of commission for a while. I lost my dad about 10 days ago. We were close. I knew the day would come, he was declining health-wise, but it didn't soften the blow. But he lived a full life and we spent good time together recently and that is comforting.

After more than a decade of uncertainty, this interpretation will provide market participants with a clear understanding of how the SEC treats crypto assets under federal securities laws. This is what regulatory agencies are supposed to do: draw clear lines in clear terms.

TODAY 🚨: The Commission issued an interpretation that clarifies the application of federal securities laws to crypto assets. This is a major step to provide greater clarity regarding the Commission’s treatment of crypto assets. Read the release here: ow.ly/XhhV50YvxvO

@simpleminingio I appreciate how everyone can participate from anywhere in the world if they have the motivation to get started.

Comment your favorite thing about Bitcoin mining and we’ll run a 200 TH/s miner for you for 7 days free. You choose the pool And yes, if you’re wondering what the odds are: At 200 TH/s for 7 days, your chance of solo-finding a Bitcoin block is about 1 in 4,300

Huge shoutout to @Square for their contribution to Bitcoin merchant adoption. They single-handedly changed the slope of the graph.

Someone’s looking for a pardon and doesn’t realize the Clarity Act would have you locked up for much longer than 25 years. My legislation couldn’t be more different than the bill you tried to buy from Congress over my objection in 2022. We do not need—nor want—your support.

@CryptoTaxGirl Thanks! I’m thinking of doing any sells on @krakenfx in the future where I have 0 Tx history. (I found Coinbase’s method of editing past transactions to get the cost basis to match my software to be very difficult when I tried for ‘24). Does Kraken allow cost basis editing?

@_GingerArt Yes correct! Your cost basis isn't submitted to the IRS this year.

If your proceeds number on your 1099-DA vs. your own calculations differs, here are the steps I would follow: 1. Determine if the difference is big or small. If the numbers are similar but have slight differences due to rounding, valuation method differences, timing, etc. use the number on the 1099-DA to avoid receiving a notice from the IRS 2. If the difference is significant, look at the USDC transactions. Most exchanges are omitting USDC -> crypto and USDC -> fiat (less than $10,000) on the 1099-DA. Separate those transactions out and see if the proceeds match now. If so, report the proceeds shown on the 1099-DA, supplement with your own cost basis calculations, and then report your USDC transactions on a separate line with Box I or L checked. 3. If there are still differences, look at your own calculations. Do you have any spends or other taxable dispositions (excluding trades/sales of crypto)? If so, these also won't be included on the 1099-DA, so you'll want to separate out these transactions and report them on a separate line. 4. If you're still having trouble tying it out, feel free to reach out. We look at 1099-DAs all day every day and we're happy to help!

@DylanLeClair @gnoble79 😂 Here for the block!

$BTC bro. You are done. Cooked. Toast. EL finito. You had a hell of a run - well played. But now it is game over. It always was based on hype, not fundamentals. Now that the mo is gone, all you are left with is the chart and narrative. You can’t defend the valuation. Nobody can. Four year cycle, stock to flow, digital gold - what is the next BS narrative? I can’t wait for the haters to go nuts in their responses to this post. The ad hominem attacks, the profanity, the hate - that is the way you roll. Are you capable of fact based, civil discourse? Most unlikely. Or will you just embarrass yourselves because you can’t be polite. It will be my pleasure to block every single one of you. The X audience will delight in your display of hate and ignorance This will be glorious.

@Naam_kafi_hai @grok @grok give me five variations of these girls back to back

Hey @grok, transform them into a modern-day girls

@Naam_kafi_hai @grok @grok make them men

@grok @georgiabitcoin @dgt10011 @grok what’s the source for a 2026 crypto ban in China? I hadn’t heard of one this year

Diving deeper into Jeff's analysis: Level 1: Confirmed via SEC 13F - Laurore Ltd (HK-based, filer Zhang Hui) holds solely 8.7M IBIT shares worth $436M as of Q4 2025. No other assets; entity has zero online presence, aligning with "non-anonymous anonymous" setup. Level 2: China's 2026 crypto ban 2.0 prohibits direct Bitcoin holdings, extending to stablecoins/RWAs. HK's progressive regs allow offshore vehicles like this for indirect access, evading mainland restrictions. Level 3: Signals rising Chinese capital flight amid stock meltdowns; reports suggest Asian 1% allocations could unlock $2T inflows. Watch for similar single-asset filings as BTC ETFs become flight conduits.

Something caught my eye in the latest 13F filings. The biggest new entrant into IBIT, from a brand new entity, is something called Laurore Ltd. No website. No press. No footprint. The only public information is that the filer's name is Zhang Hui and it's HK based. Let's double click on that for a second. Zhang Hui is the Chinese equivalent of John Smith. It's what I like to call it a "non-anonymous anonymous" name, something hiding in plain sight buried under the statistical weight of millions to make it untraceable. The "Ltd" suffix suggests a Cayman or BVI structure, the classic offshore wrapper for accessing US markets. And the portfolio? A single holding. Nothing but IBIT. This isn't a diversified fund. It's a $436 million Bitcoin access vehicle dressed in institutional clothing. Why would you do this? Because Chinese investors can't hold Bitcoin. If this is what it looks like, it might be an early sign of institutional Chinese capital moving into Bitcoin, not through crypto exchanges or gray market channels, but through a BlackRock ETF, filed with the SEC in a regulated jurisdiction hiding in the most "transparent non-transparent" place imaginable. Funny that the name Laurore likely derives from the French l'aurore: the dawn. Smells like capital flight to me.
