@harvey_rayner Why can’t we have a wallet that requires a fee to accept something ?

Is it possible to prohibit malicious and unwanted NFTs being airdropped into our wallets and thus polluting the environment in which our treasured Art collections live? If the answer is no - is this just a shitty user experience, we the crypto savvy, just accept as a tradeoff to owning a decentralized wallet? One problem, as I see it, is asking new Art Collecting entrants to accept this tradeoff without selling them on some very technical arguments, the likes of which many Art lovers won't care about. Collecting art for many is about carefully curating an identity. Attempting to do this in a convention that allows anyone to inject random detritus into that identity and thus misrepresenting us will be intolerable for many, especially those who care about beauty. What are the solutions that help to combat this?

@realannapaulina Dumbest distraction ever

There will be more files released. To include our request of the 40+ files. I talked to the Pentagon last night.

@BulwarkOnline Someone tell him that might not be good

Kevin Hassett: "The consumer is really, really firing on all cylinders…Credit card spending is through the roof. They're spending more on gasoline, but they're spending more on everything else too."

@eli_schein I did 5 hours on Saturday and nothing…….

3 hour Sunday walk generated one big new idea. Going to be a great week.

@nix_eth lol

“Sir, nobody agrees with you at all. I know Donald Trump is telling you to tell people this, but now it looks like you’re just telling us this, which makes you look like a very uneducated person in a very powerful position. You should lose your job.”

@sweeenie Oh ya just change the mindset. Dumbass

Live from New York.

@punk9059 That’s why UFC is coming to the White House lawn soon.

Went to the Rockies game last night. It was good but I still don’t understand how baseball became America’s pastime. For such an active, adrenaline filled country, that sport is so boring.

@punk9059 Diversification and possible tax benefits depending on holding period but ya they’re not all early uber investments

Every time I clean up my finances for taxes I realize how much private investments suck. 1) Huge promises, very rare delivery 2) Go silent when things go south 3) Even the ones that do don't do thaaaaat well 4) So many just disappear 5) GPs think they deserve the world if they simply return your capital 6) QQQ and S&P 500 just go up quietly and you don't even have a fund-manager taking a victory lap

Christie: Baby boomers—the most selfish generation in American history, the most self-centered generation, the least sacrificing generation American history. You look at Biden and Trump in particular, and they personify that

@punk9059 Most of my chron jobs run perfect under my local llm (Gemma 4 now) Anything else it just hits chatgpt

How affected are you by the OpenClaw removing Claude situation? I still haven’t gotten OpenClaw going so won’t feel it.

@drprilongevity Some of us even like it… sadly

Is this actually a surprise? A salesperson might have to drink for their job, so they decide to drink, even if they know alcohol is bad for them Companies require a social presence, communicating with friends is much easier this way TLDR this is not a novel or useful insight

@_brian_johnson @markgurman

@markgurman Apple finally realized they don't need to win the model war — they just need to own the distribution layer. Smartest play they've made in AI so far.

BREAKING: Apple is planning to open up Siri to run any AI service via their App Store apps as part of iOS 27, dropping ChatGPT as the exclusive outside partner in Apple Intelligence and Siri. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@Zeneca Obsidian was great before openclaw. Now it just seems like obsidian was ahead of the curve. Love it even more

What have people's experiences been using Obsidian? I feel like it was all the rage a few weeks ago and my timeline was flooded with Obsidian x OpenClaw and other AI integrations, but I don't see that as much now Another fad, or are people getting real value out of it?

@tedcruz @SteakEmoji That’s because you’re a giant douche

I prefer plumbers to woke & unfunny comedians.

@vangoyaa @BTCBob100k But did they even use the capital losses yet??

This Autoglyph just sold for 42 ETH (~$91k). The seller originally bought it 4 years ago for 375 ETH. That is a -$1.1M loss. Wow.

@0xRodo @BRRRRcollects Was this part of Chamaths SPACS?

One “investor” just dumped 11 generative artworks in under 30 minutes. He originally bought them for 136 ETH and sold them for 55 ETH, a loss of roughly $440K. The sales included: → Fidenza #825 → Ringer #193 → Gazers #228 → Checks #4312 → 2 Decals → 5 Squiggles He still holds 2 Punks, 2 Meridians, 2 Anticyclones, Memory of Qilin, and a Square. If you value those pieces, this might be a good moment to place a bid.

@nix_eth It’s a survival skill. We are so polarized now, if I was open I’d lose half my clients.

@nix_eth @claude does @grok tell the truth?

AI can be used to skip critical thinking and outsource your judgment. Or it can be used to sharpen your thinking and test your assumptions. People who ask “gRoK iS tHiS tRuE?” chose the former.

@MarioNawfal Why do we keep assuming trump has some master plan?

Here’s a clear explanation of why Trump attacked Iran, and why I think the war will end soon. The war isn't about nuclear weapons. It's not about helping the Iranian people. It’s not about doing Israel’s bidding. And it's not about Iran being a threat to the U.S. It's about China. China imports 45-57% of its oil through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has the capacity to shut it down. A U.S.-aligned Iran means an Iran that would choke off that strait if there's ever a real power struggle between Washington and Beijing. And there already is one. The U.S. and China have been locked in a tariff war for over a year now. Also remember when China threatened export controls on rare earths, encompassing any company anywhere in the world that uses Chinese rare earths? Yes, China essentially said that any company that uses their rare earths (China refines 85-90% of the world’s supply) must seek their permission before exporting their products. This means if a German manufacturer uses rare earths fro China to create chips for American companies, China can block the export of these chips. That’s how much leverage China has over the U.S., and that’s dangerous, especially if China finally decides to reunify with Taiwan. So controlling the Strait of Hormuz becomes critical for the U.S. It's the same reason Trump wants China out of the Panama Canal. The same reason Venezuela matters. The same reason he's eyeing Greenland, where shipping routes to China pass through melting Arctic ice. Energy is everything now. The AI arms race is the most important strategic competition on the planet. Limiting China's access to energy is how the U.S. wins that race, and anyone who believes in freedom and democracy should want America to win. China is investing heavily in domestic energy, building nuclear reactors, solar farms, wind power. They're leapfrogging the rest of the world. But they still import the majority of their oil. And a significant chunk of it comes through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran was reportedly nearing a deal for supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles from China, which would make it easier for Iran to threaten shipping in the Strait and strike U.S. naval vessels. That accelerated the timeline. Trump's comment today about doing in Iran what he did in Venezuela makes perfect sense in this context. He wants influence over who comes next. A regime that's workable for Washington. If he succeeds, this would be a massive strategic win for the U.S. and for Trump.
