Nice. As I wrote in Skin in the Game, the only people annoyed by inequality are the no-skin-in-the-game bureaucrats and professors who envy the class above them. The rest of us worry about mobility.

@BTCBreakdown They practically could and they will really. Tax system is mainly around fear.

In an AI world of abundance, scarcity becomes priceless. Bitcoin doesn’t solve truth — but it solves finality. When everything can be faked, you value what cannot be forged. That’s why AI will use stablecoins, but is unlikely to anchor to them long-term.

I had a long, serious conversation with ChatGPT about AI × Bitcoin. The core insight wasn’t hype — it was about incentives. AI doesn’t “believe” in Bitcoin. It prefers it operationally.

• AI cares about rule stability, not narratives • It can model volatility, but not human discretion • Stablecoins are convenient, but discretionary and revocable • Bitcoin is machine-comprehensible money: scarce, final, rule-bound

Humans optimize for: Comfort Stability Authority Familiar systems AI optimizes for: Invariants Predictability Finality Minimal entropy Bitcoin was not designed for AI — but it accidentally satisfies AI’s strongest preferences.

AI doesn’t “believe” in Bitcoin — it just prefers it operationally.

Stablecoins are human money made machine-compatible Bitcoin-like assets are machine money humans can use

Why BTC over stables? The key insight most people miss AI doesn’t care volatility It cares rule stability Humans: •Fear price •Prefer stability AI: •Models volatility •Cannot model human intervention reliably So: •A volatile rule-bound asset > a stable one

AI makes trust expensive •Deepfakes •Synthetic identities •Fake markets Bitcoin doesn’t solve truth but it solves finality. When everything can be faked, you value what cannot be forged Bitcoin becomes: The thing you stop arguing about

In an AI world of abundance, scarcity becomes priceless.

Bitcoin is machine-comprehensible money.

I’m turning 41, but I don’t feel like celebrating. Our generation is running out of time to save the free Internet built for us by our fathers. What was once the promise of the free exchange of information is being turned into the ultimate tool of control. Once-free countries are introducing dystopian measures such as digital IDs (UK), online age checks (Australia), and mass scanning of private messages (EU). Germany is persecuting anyone who dares to criticize officials on the Internet. The UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets. France is criminally investigating tech leaders who defend freedom and privacy. A dark, dystopian world is approaching fast — while we’re asleep. Our generation risks going down in history as the last one that had freedoms — and allowed them to be taken away. We’ve been fed a lie. We’ve been made to believe that the greatest fight of our generation is to destroy everything our forefathers left us: tradition, privacy, sovereignty, the free market, and free speech. By betraying the legacy of our ancestors, we’ve set ourselves on a path toward self-destruction — moral, intellectual, economic, and ultimately biological. So no, I’m not going to celebrate today. I’m running out of time. WE are running out of time.

Hard truth.

I love this quote from Quentin Tarantino “I didn’t go to film school, I went to films” Many such cases. Volume of experience is a beautiful thing.

Goals are for people who care about winning once. Systems are for people who care about winning repeatedly.

@TheCryptoDog @sershokunin @RealAZKicks Killer use case, WBTC as collateral pls @chameleon_jeff

@sershokunin @RealAZKicks Will there be options for collateral besides usdc?

for many years all i wanted was to trade spot btc on chain, on a seamless clob, and now i'm finally about to be able to do that.
