Sweep@0xSweep·
Nobody knows who designed the Bitcoin logo and it represents a $1.4 trillion asset Satoshi's original logo was a gold coin with the letters "BC" on it In February 2010 a BitcoinTalk user named NewLibertyStandard proposed using the Thai baht symbol ฿ and the ticker "BTC" in a single forum post Before that, Bitcoin had no symbol and no official ticker Satoshi responded two weeks later with an updated logo: Same gold coin but now with a "B" and two vertical strokes inspired by the dollar sign It was better but the community still wasn't impressed One user replied asking if they could come up with something "more respectable" and added "I really am not trying to be mean." Then in November 2010 an anonymous user called "bitboy" showed up on BitcoinTalk, said he just wanted to drop by and share some graphics, and posted the orange and white logo the entire world now recognizes White ₿ tilted exactly 14 degrees clockwise on a flat orange circle Free to download on a public domain Then he left Nobody has ever confirmed who bitboy is The ticker "BTC" technically violates international currency code standards because "BT" is already the country code for Bhutan, which is why some exchanges use "XBT" instead. The ₿ symbol wasn't officially added to Unicode until late 2015 when Bitcoin was trading around $400 For over 6 years the most important digital currency in the world didn't have an officially recognized symbol Every piece of Bitcoin's identity was made by anonymous people on a forum and given away for free Just because a few people believed in something before anyone else

Peter Girnus 🦅@gothburz·
My net worth peaked at $1.2 million. None of it was real. I don't mean that philosophically. I mean it was located on servers that have since been turned off. I own eleven properties in the metaverse. Three in Decentraland. Four in The Sandbox. Two in Voxels. One in Otherside. And a beachfront villa in Horizon Worlds that I bought for $214,000 because Mark Zuckerberg called it "the next frontier." The frontier closed last week. It's a mobile app now. Last year I mass DM'd 340 people the phrase "you don't understand how early we are." I have since stopped doing that. Not because I was wrong. Because most of them blocked me. I got into metaverse real estate in November 2021. Everyone was buying. Someone paid $450,000 to be Snoop Dogg's neighbor. In a video game. With no legs. The avatars didn't have legs. I thought that was bullish. "The legs are coming," I told my Discord. "Legs are a roadmap item." Three hundred people reacted with rocket emojis. I called myself a "digital land baron." I put it in my Twitter bio. I put it in my LinkedIn headline. I said it on a podcast that had eleven listeners. Three of them were bots. The rest were my alts. My virtual property has more square footage than my actual apartment. My actual apartment has furniture. Location, location, location. My most valuable asset was a plot next to a virtual Gucci store. Gucci left in 2023. The store is still there. Nobody's in it. It's like a mall in Ohio but with worse graphics and no food court. I held. Diamond hands. That's what we said. "Diamond hands." It means refusing to sell while your investment loses 94% of its value. We turned financial paralysis into a personality trait. A guy in my Discord paid $2.4 million for a 618-parcel estate in Decentraland. Prime district. High foot traffic. I asked him what "foot traffic" meant when the platform had 38 daily active users. He said I didn't understand the technology. I didn't. I still bought more. We had a DAO. A decentralized autonomous organization. That means we voted on decisions. There were nine of us. Three never showed up. Two voted on everything without reading it. The other four were me and my alts. We voted to "acquire strategic parcels." The vote passed unanimously. I voted four times. My portfolio peaked at $1.2 million. I told everyone. I made a spreadsheet. I projected 40x returns by 2025. I made a pitch deck. The pitch deck had a slide that said "WE ARE BUILDING THE DIGITAL ECONOMY." The slide had a rocket emoji. That was my entire financial model. In 2023 I bought a Bored Ape for $189,000. It's worth $14,000 now. I don't talk about the Ape. I still use it as my profile picture. People ask me about it. I say "I'm long-term bullish." Long-term bullish means I can't sell it without crying in a Panera. My mom asked me what a Bored Ape was. I said "digital art on the blockchain." She asked why it cost more than her car. I said "you don't understand Web3." She said "I understand you live in a studio apartment." She's not in my Discord. Justin Bieber bought one for $1.3 million. It's worth about $90,000 now. I felt better about mine after I heard that. That's community. WAGMI. We're All Gonna Make It. We said that every day. In the group chat. While the floor dropped. While the volume dried up. While 95% of all NFT collections went to zero. We're all gonna make it. None of us made it. But we said it with conviction and a laser-eye profile picture. That counts for something. It doesn't. But we said it did. That's decentralized consensus. Meta spent $84 billion on the metaverse. I need to say that again. $84 billion. More than the GDP of Luxembourg. More than the GDP of Iceland, Luxembourg, and Malta combined. They spent it on a platform where the avatars had no legs, the graphics looked like a 2006 Wii game, and the peak user count was lower than the lunch rush at a Chipotle in Des Moines. They just pulled Horizon Worlds from VR headsets. It lives on as a mobile app. My beachfront villa is now a mobile app. Location, location, location. Zuckerberg renamed the entire company for this. Facebook became Meta. A $900 billion company changed its legal name because the CEO watched Ready Player One and said "I want that." Reality Labs lost $10 billion in 2021. $14 billion in 2022. $16 billion in 2023. $18 billion in 2024. $19 billion in 2025. That's not a strategy. That's a speedrun. They laid off 1,500 Reality Labs employees this year. Shut down three VR studios. Killed Supernatural. Put the entire VR social vision in a casket and said "we're pivoting to AI and wearables." The pivot took four years and $84 billion. I pivoted too. I'm an AI real estate investor now. I bought a virtual plot in an AI-generated world that doesn't exist yet. The founder said it was "the intersection of spatial computing and large language models." I don't know what that means. I gave him $40,000. He has a whitepaper. It's 47 pages. I read the title and the tokenomics section. The tokenomics section is a pie chart. I love pie charts. They make everything look like a plan. The project has a roadmap. Q1: "Build community." Q2: "Launch beta." Q3: "Scale ecosystem." Q4 is blank. Q4 is always blank. That's where the exit scam goes. My accountant asked me to value my metaverse portfolio for tax purposes. I said $1.2 million. He said "current market value." I said $6,400. He stared at me for eleven seconds. I know because I counted. He asked if I had any other investments. I showed him my NFTs. He stared for longer. I told him they were "cultural artifacts with long-term provenance." He asked if I'd considered a 401k. I told him a 401k was "legacy finance." He told me to leave his office. The metaverse is dead. I don't accept that. I am a digital land baron. I own eleven properties across four platforms. I have a beachfront villa in a mobile app, a plot next to an empty Gucci store, and a cartoon monkey that cost me more than my actual car. Location, location, location. The location is nowhere. But I'm early. I'm always early. That's the same as being wrong except you get to say it with confidence.

Our CTO has just had his first-authored paper accepted at PKC 2026, one of the top cryptography conferences in the world. The paper introduces Interstellar, a new folding scheme for recursive proofs that significantly cuts prover costs. Huge achievement, Jieyi!
Jieyi Long | Theta Network@jieyilong

Excited to share that my research work “Interstellar: Efficient GKR-based IVC Scheme with Privacy-Preserving Collaborative Folding” conducted at Theta Labs @Theta_Network has recently been accepted to PKC 2026! PKC (Public-Key Cryptography Conference) is one of the premier cryptography venues organized by the IACR (International Association for Cryptologic Research, iacr.org). IACR conferences represent the gold standard of academic cryptography research, so it’s a big honor to have this work accepted. This is also my first first-authored paper accepted at a major cryptography conference! The paper introduces Interstellar, a new framework for folding schemes and Incrementally Verifiable Computation (IVC) — a key primitive that that has recently attracted significant attention from researchers and is beginning to see widespread adoption in modern recursive zkSNARK systems for scalable blockchains and verifiable computing. Check it out: eprint.iacr.org/2025/1294 Key idea Most modern folding-based IVC systems (Nova, HyperNova, Protostar, etc.) operate on constraint systems and require commitments to the entire execution trace of a circuit. This leads to expensive prover costs dominated by large vector commitments and MSM operations. Interstellar takes a different approach. Instead of committing to the full trace, it works directly with circuit satisfiability and combines a new technique called circuit interpolation and the GKR protocol for circuit verification. This allows the prover to commit only to the actual witness inputs, avoiding commitments to the full computation trace and eliminating cross-term vectors used in many prior folding schemes. Result Because vector commitments are the main cost in folding-based IVC, reducing them yields substantial speedups. Across representative workloads: 1.59× – 6.74× prover speedup per folding round for parallel workloads (e.g., matrix multiplication) up to 2.93× speedup for serialized workloads (e.g., MiMC hash chains) Additional features Interstellar also supports several capabilities needed for real-world zk systems: high-degree gates lookup gates multi-instance folding efficient non-uniform IVC (important for zkVMs and zkML) A new primitive: Collaborative Folding / IVC The paper also introduces a novel cryptography primitive called Collaborative Folding/IVC, which allows multiple provers with disjoint private witnesses to jointly generate recursive proofs without revealing their private inputs. This enables new settings such as: privacy-preserving distributed computation multi-party recursive proof generation federated or cross-organization verifiable computation Why this matters Recursive proof systems are becoming foundational infrastructure for zkVMs, rollups, verifiable AI / zkML, and scalable blockchain verification. Interstellar provides a new design option in the folding-IVC landscape that significantly reduces prover cost while enabling distributed proof generation. If you’re interested in folding schemes, recursive SNARKs, or verifiable computation, I’d love to hear feedback from the cryptography and blockchain community!

This low key worries me. One entity having that HUGE amount of $BTC by itself, seems like a disaster waiting to happen. The question is will it be a disaster for @MicroStrategy or for Bitcoin, or maybe both? 🤔

If you’re staking $JUP, you’ll wanna see this 👀 The Jupiter DAO page just got a small upgrade with more data and transparency. Now you can easily see some key stats: > Total JUP staked (ATH right now) > Total number of stakers > Estimated APY (~24%) > Estimated annual rewards (based on your stake + time-weightage across all quarters) ~24% APY is actually pretty solid. Especially when JUP has a lot more upside potential than downside. That means: Yield compounding + possible price appreciation. Love this update.

Do y’all realize how insane this is? 🤯 In the last 30 days, Jupiter did $27B in trading volume on Solana. All the other aggregators combined? ≈ $3.08B That means Jupiter alone did ~8.8× MORE volume than the rest combined. But I thought users were leaving because of no Jupuary? I thought users would migrate elsewhere? Fudders keep fudding. Jupiter keeps winning. 🪐
