🧵 3.7 million Bitcoin are already gone. $220 billion… vanished. And no one’s ready for what that means.

@Taryl_Ogle Just getting a lay of the land while in Africa.. wanted to get eyes on the actual country. Needed to feel the overall energy. I’ll be back, but hopefully I can set up a few meetings with others in the space ahead of time next round (later this year).

@backedxbitcoin Spill, were you there for work?

I like being in the thick of it. And one thing I keep noticing again and again and again. Nigerian and Kenyan founders are building some of the most exceptional products on the planet. And nobody is really talking about it. 🧵

@mrstephendeng Any resources to review in the marine while you write yours ?

A bit dismayed by all the empty hot takes on stablecoin in Africa on my timeline. Might be time to write an article about our convictions.

The most underrated AI tool on the internet? Ideogram AI. Pair it with Claude, and you have a publishing system that can produce six-figure eBooks on Amazon. One book turns into compounding income over time. Last month alone, we generated $65,000 in royalties using this setup. Stack 4–5 books using this process, and you’re suddenly looking at a real monthly income stream. I could easily charge $199 for this. But today, it’s free. To get it: • Like this post • Comment “KDP” I’ll DM you the training + my entire AI publishing system. ⏳ Free for the next 48 hours (Follow so I can message you)

@bidhanxcode @grok why do all of these companies use GO

Google uses Go. Meta uses Go. Microsoft uses Go. Amazon uses Go. Uber uses Go. Dropbox uses Go. Cloudflare uses Go. Twitch uses Go. Docker uses Go. Kubernetes uses Go. PayPal uses Go. Shopify uses Go. What’s stopping you from learning Go?

@zerosandohs @BTCsessions That’s interesting.. are you able to share example .. I also have a solution that leverages Nostr relays

@BTCsessions Mainly nostr, but not for social media. It’s a powerful uncensored and permissionless relay network that I believe can have many applications. My app uses it for some features and users won’t even know it’s happening.

Outside of Bitcoin, what other types of freedom tech are you most interested in? Lmk any specific examples you have that I should check out.

@donnywomacck Nice

I just spoke with a founder building a solution that lets Africans use an AI agent to apply for visas. Like an AI Visa Agent. No more manually applying for visas or depending on fraudulent human visa agents Sick idea if you ask me. Especially for Africans with weak passports.

I responded to the guy who said Africa doesn’t have xyz which is 100% false. My question for you, is what do you mean by “global ai wasn’t built for Africa”…. “Global” inherently means the entire planet. I’ve had access to ai in every African nation I’ve visited. Please enlighten

Global AI wasn’t built for Africa. So we built one that is. Powered by an African LLM.

Not accurate. 1. Africa is a continent. Yes it uses internet. Some parts have more access than others, just like the rest of the world. 2. Africa has more natural resources than any place on earth. Africa can technically pay for anything they want. 3. Africa has more natural resources than any place on earth, which can be used to power any amount of gpus. Gpus can be purchased and shipped to Africa. Your response is ignorance, so I felt the need to enlighten you, as an American citizen

@vetaorigin 1. Africa mostly doesn’t use the internet. 2. Africa can’t pay for this. 3. Africa doesn’t have the power or GPUs to even turn it on.

@Taryl_Ogle Is this active/ live already

The world's first phone number built to last a lifetime. Building eNative. One number. Forever. No SIM. No carrier. No borders. On average 35 million numbers get recycled every year. What would be most valuable to you in a VoIP app? 👇

@TooWhiteToTweet @grok is this true

Another day, another spectacularly horrific Black-on-White murder that no one hears about, that would be the number one story in the world if it were White-on-anyone-else. On February 13, Black 21-year-old Alexander Lamar Banks was driving around, admittedly looking for people to kill, when he spotted a White mom and dad, out for an evening walk, pulling their 3-year-old daughter in a pink wagon in Delta Township, Michigan (77% White, 11% Black). That's when Banks targeted them, accelerating his car in their direction, driving off the road, and smashing through the White family. Banks then exited the vehicle, retrieved a shotgun, and fired multiple rounds, hitting all three family members and killing 3-year-old Harlow Smith. He reloaded the weapon before approaching Harlow's dad and shooting him again at close range. Banks punched the White father in the face and beat him with the shotgun. He then grabbed the White mother by the hair, twisting her head and trying to break her neck when she attempted to intervene. A 72-year-old White woman named Barb Cook saw what was happening and ran toward the murder scene to try to help the family. With his gun empty, Banks smashed 72-year-old Barb repeatedly in the head with it. He hit her with such force that her hair and flesh were later recovered from the muzzle. After beating Barb, Banks dropped the gun and fled. 37-year-old dad Cameron Smith, 33-year-old mom Paige Smith, and 72-year-old Barb Cook all survived the encounter that claimed young Harlow's life. Barb Cook required brain surgery and facial reconstruction, and went into a coma (as of the most recent update, she remains in that coma). Now, we wait to see how easy the system goes on Alexander Lamar Banks when it's inevitably determined that he was “not in the right state of mind” and has the IQ of speed bump. To recap, a Black psychopath quite literally hunted a White family, in public, in the light of day, running them down with his vehicle before shooting them repeatedly and savagely beating them in someone's front yard, killing a 3-year-old, then bludgeoning an unrelated 72-year-old grandma into a coma, and virtually no one knows, or will ever know, that any of this happened. But everyone on Earth knows that a White girl said a magic word on a Minnesota playground last year.

@SprinterPress @grok is this true

Leaked videos from Tel Aviv showed some of the damage caused by Iran's missile strikes; footage that, despite strict military censorship in Israel, attracted great attention on social media.

@Xking332 @grok is this true

Iran continues launching missiles and drones at Dubai. People are losing their lives. It's not safe to even walk the streets anymore. Multiple airlines like British Airways have suspended flights to Dubai for the rest of the year. Dubai has also introduced a new rule. Now it requires all social media content creators to have a licence. It’s tragic. Dubai might never fully recover.

@nondualrandy Interesting.. money is a function. A function is energetic movement .. you’re right

Finally figured it out. Fiat isn't money. Gold isn't money. Bitcoin isn't money. Assets arent money. Energy is money.

@GrantCardone Man coming from a billionaire who’s still in the field and is as seasoned as you are, this is better than any interview or book

@comfortfajugbag Slow moment. Got it

@backedxbitcoin I share how to create the file in the caption

I used to write 400-word prompts begging AI not to sound like AI. Still sounded like AI. Then I stumbled on a 29-word fix that changed everything: "Read my anti-AI writing style file first. It contains every known pattern of AI writing I want to avoid. Apply these as rules to everything you write for me." That's the whole prompt. But here's the setup nobody tells you: Step 1. Go to Wikipedia Step 2. Search "Signs of AI writing" Step 3. Copy the entire page Step 4. Paste into a Google Doc. Don't touch it. Step 5. Name it "anti-ai-writing" Step 6. Download my .md files. Ready to upload. Step 7. That file is now your secret weapon Here's why your current prompts are failing: "Don't use jargon." "Don't sound like an AI." "Don't sound robotic." "Be conversational." You've written some version of this. I know because I did too, for months. The model reads it, nods, and still writes like a LinkedIn intern from 2019. Why? You're listing 14 "don'ts." It forgets half by sentence three. The fix is counterintuitive. Stop telling the AI what to avoid. Give it a file that shows what to avoid. The model reads 1,168 lines of bad patterns, internalizes them, and writes clean. 400-word prompt → still robotic. 29 words + 1 file → people ask if you hired a ghostwriter The file does the heavy lifting. Not your prompt. Try it tonight and come back to tell me what changed. Repost if this saves someone from writing another "don't sound like AI" prompt that sounds like AI.

@comfortfajugbag Poverty is the root cause of all disease. Poverty of spirit, poverty of mind, financial poverty, etc.

I hate poverty and every manifestation of it. There is nothing noble about struggling, nothing holy about lack, nothing character-building about being unable to meet your needs. Honestly speaking, poverty itself is v!olent.

@BTCBreadMan Money is a function. Gold ca function as money, so can Bitcoin. Many things can function as money. The question is which of those things perform the function of money better.

Bitcoin and gold are not money. Money is money.

It’s you vs you.. never forget
