@Chrissssjohnson once that lightbulb comes on, it’s a paradigm shift. then you realize all the money you spend goes into the s&p 500 and what you get back is basically just what you’ve spent - and that’s if you’re invested. then you pay taxes until you die. bitcoin is the opt out

The growth of the global M2 money supply since 2000 = 7% The growth of the S&P 500 since 2000 = 7.9% The S&P500 is the inflation rate This is why your brokerage account grows but you aren’t getting wealthier If you want to keep up, S&P500 If you want to get ahead, Bitcoin

@scottmelker Q3: ARE BITCOIN AND THE REST OF THE BLOCKCHAIN ECOSYSTEM AT RISK TODAY? Karim: Not today, and likely not for several years.

@PeytonElroy congratulations 🎊

When someone texts me “what are you doing” and I’m literally helping my Dad heal cancer through various diet plans, Ivermectin protocols, herbal treatments, meditating multiple times a day envisioning him completely healed, taking him to acupuncture, cooking him nutritious dinners, hanging out with him almost every day to deepen our bond, etc…. Well, joyous news everyone: The Carcinoembryonic Antigen Levels that measure tumor markers in the blood have dipped down into “normal” range for the first time since the cancer diagnosis! We are awaiting a conversation with a doctor to find out what is considered “remission” or something close to it. He is finishing up chemo and we are constantly experimenting with other natural healing methods as well Our family is celebrating every win. We truly believe and know that healing is always possible! 💚

The great irony of the October 7th, 2023 rape hoax is that, if you were 1-issue person & your only issue was rape, all you cared about was rape, nothing else, then you'd probably be among the most hostile people to Israel on earth. That's because there are many dozens, indeed hundreds of Palestinian rape victims, many of them have testified, not anonymously, but with their names -- despite the danger involved -- saying they've been raped inside Israeli prisons. That's not to mention the video & forensic evidence. Meanwhile, there are 0 identified rape victims from Oct. 7th. So hundreds versus 0 .... of named, identified victims when comparing Oct. 2023 to Israel's rape & torture dungeons. (Note: some of the Israeli hostages testified to sexual abuse after Oct. 7th in the tunnels, but not on Oct. 7th) So, if all you cared about was rape, and you took standards of evidence seriously, you'd arrive at the conclusion that Israel is likely the most evil country in world, because there are more documented rape victims inside Israeli torture & rape dungeons than any other country in the world, according to the best available data.

@WuBlockchain tether is clearly an arm of the US government.

U.S. Freezes $344 Million in Cryptocurrency Linked to Iran According to CNN, the United States has frozen approximately $344 million in cryptocurrency tied to Iran, with Tether assisting in freezing two wallet addresses. U.S. officials said the funds show on-chain links to Iranian entities, including transactions with Iranian exchanges and wallets associated with the Central Bank of Iran, as part of efforts to increase economic pressure on Tehran.

Because I get asked a lot. Why we must fight Palantir, in brief. 1. Programmers working on the Internet have a moral responsibility to the entire world, not a single country. The Internet has been designed since its inception as a universal system for the sharing of knowledge without censorship. The Internet is not the property of any one government or nation. 2. The Internet enables mass surveillance at a scale unimaginable to the Gestapo and the Cheka. Far too many programmers have wasted their lives at building surveillance systems under the guise of Web advertising. Today, these web tracking systems are being used to monitor, control, and even kill humans by companies like Palantir that seek to combine state violence with corporate efficiency, and thus create a new form of technofascism. 3. Surveillance justified by external national security threats will be turned against citizens inside the nation-state. Mass surveillance was once the exclusive domain of the NSA, but today it has been privatized to corporations like Palantir that are unaccountable to any democratic process. What begins as fear of external foreign nation-states turns inwards to focus on immigrants, dissidents, and eventually to anyone that might challenge the status quo or try to exit an increasingly dysfunctional society. 4. Everyone is a target. The “enemy within” continually expands until it encompasses the entire population of a nation regardless of their status and beliefs, justifying evermore paranoid and totalizing surveillance. The line between policing and military operations blurs, with legal frameworks being replaced by technological violence operating with total impunity. 5. Surveillance can only be defeated by building software and hardware to defend ourselves. Meek calls for regulation or moralizing demands for human rights are useless in this era. Any rights must be enforced by the hard power of code. Code, not laws, can be used to uphold the right to privacy by making surveillance difficult, if not impossible, even by nation-state adversaries. 6. We are ruled by a senile gerontocracy. Unlike the generations that fought in the world wars, most of our current rulers are degenerate pedophiles who would sacrifice the well-being of the youth and the entire planet due to their infantile desire for wealth and power. Technology of surveillance and automated warfare reflects their increasingly desperate attempts to maintain archaic forms of domination. 7. The American Empire is unraveling. Once, the United States of America presided over a globe where it could enforce its rule via the status of the dollar as a global reserve currency and a network of equally global military bases, but new regional powers now directly challenge the United States as its empire dissolves in the face of internal economic stagnation, political corruption, and the inflation of the dollar. 8. In a real war, fantasies of total technological dominance always backfire. When a faceless drone kills a child’s father, that child will one day take revenge regardless of the cost, something forgotten by those raised in comfortable suburbs. Going beyond zero-sum games, one can only truly win a battle against a people by demonstrating your victory provides a better way of life, increased prosperity, and an inspiring philosophy. 9. Oddly enough, proponents of fully automated warfare support a universal draft. Deep-down, these keyboard warriors know that their technofascist fantasies are a paper tiger when up against determined opponents that engage in asymmetric warfare. They also know none of their children will fight in a war for their state but they would be happy to see other people’s children come home in body-bags. 10. The problem is not whether AI weapons will be built; we must hold responsible those who are building them. No matter which country is deploying automated killing machines, no one is absolved from the murder of civilians and the destruction of infrastructure due to the parlour-trick of shifting the blame to AI. 11. Atomic war is on the horizon. As various states descend into wars over increasingly scarce natural resources, the possibility of tactical nuclear strikes over Teheran, Kyiv, and other areas of conflict has returned to the historical stage. Increasingly geriatric and authoritarian rulers face less guardrails than before to deploying nuclear weapons, and may even be willing to sacrifice the survival of humanity to appease their own petty egos. 12. Our goal is a world of peace where every person can be empowered by the Internet. Modern war is the quintessential game of sending young people to the meat-grinder. Why die for the profit of corrupt rulers when one could build real wealth and power for yourself using the Internet? 13. We should fight for the world we want, and build the tools needed by future generations. Pacifism would be suicidal in this period of global turbulence and resource wars, but real hard power lies in technology: Programmers should be creating technologies to live a free life and prosper in a hostile society of surveillance and control, and decentralization is the only way these technologies will survive against the inevitable repression. 14. The State will not help us. The state is a dying pre-Internet institution that increasingly resembles nothing but a Ponzi scheme fueled by taxes and debt. None of the youth alive today will likely inherit any benefits, such as welfare and health care. 15. Centralized and opaque algorithms are a danger to free speech. Propaganda is the flip-side of surveillance, as continual propaganda prevents anyone from even thinking of challenging the system. Social media monopolies promote propaganda to create a generalized idiocy while silencing those that would dare to criticize the reigning order before they can organize against it. 16. Building new forms of social organization with each other is vital to survival. The traditional mediascape of politics and entertainment exists to distract us from building networked solidarity and distributed autonomous organizations across borders. The hierarchical state is as relevant to us as the medieval church and kings were to the formation of the joint-stock corporation and the labour union. 17. Digital identity is the next step in their system of control. Within the next few years, access to the Internet–including in Europe and the United States–will require biometric national identity cards, using the flimsy excuse of “protecting children.” The real goal is to gatekeep free access to subversive political content and halt cross-border communication in order to prevent new forms of self-organization and resistance from emerging. 18. Only when one can be anonymous is one truly free. The freedom to express oneself without censorship and surveillance is a vital precondition for both the autonomous use of reason and the democratic evolution of society. Technology must enable the freedom to selectively reveal ourselves to the world–so that we can become who we want to be–by preserving the right to privacy over the Internet, including not just individual privacy but the right to transact and form contracts privately. 19. America created the first global surveillance state, but it will not be the last. Too many have forgotten or perhaps taken for granted the revelations of Wikileaks and Snowden. States across the world from China to Russia are creating even more powerful global surveillance systems and propaganda machines. Leveraging private defense contracts in countries across the world, Palantir seeks to make itself the operating system of a cross-border global secret state while it pushes its own farcical version of ethno-nationalism. 20. Culture wars are a psyop. It is ironic that “Epstein class” virtue-signals about traditional morality and the superiority of forms of ethno-nationalism, while trying to return to the rule of hereditary elites, even in the United States. Rather than reverse the gains of the Enlightenment, we take the side of our ancestors who fought a centuries-long battle for individual liberty, scientific progress, decentralized markets, bottom-up democracy and the emancipation of humanity from feudal monarchs and their make-believe mythologies. 21. New forms of technology can reshape the world. Technology is not just a tool, but the world we live in and an extension of our cognitive capabilities. The co-operation of humans with the collective intelligence embedded in AI could accelerate human progress and overcome planetary crises such as climate change and atomic war that threatens the survival of our species. 22. Live free or die trying. We must bear eternal vigilance in the struggle against fascism, and the battlefield is technology. There is no middle ground: Technologists must choose whether to work for the enslavement of humanity or to create new spaces for freedom. These are my personal beliefs, not those of @nym. Yet as a philosopher that founded a tech startup, I have a responsibility to respond to this manifesto of Palantir and it's so-called "philosopher-CEO" Alex Karp.

@ChainLinkGod @LynAldenContact and no one has mentioned LUNA even once…

Look guys, it's actually really straightforward, a bunch of people staked their ETH on the Ethereum blockchain to earn yield, except they didn't want their capital to be locked up, so they actually staked with a liquid staking protocol called Lido who provided them a liquid staking receipt token called stETH, except they decided to juice their yield further by depositing their stETH receipt tokens into a restaking protocol called Eigenlayer, except they didn't want to lock up their capital, so they actually restaked with a liquid restaking protocol called KelpDAO who provided them with a liquid restaking receipt token called rsETH, except they decided to juice their yield further by depositing their rsETH tokens into a lending protocol called Aave so that they could open a leveraged looping position that borrows ETH against the rsETH collateral and restakes the ETH into rsETH which is then deposited as collateral, except it turns out rsETH used a cross-chain bridge called LayerZero that was hacked by north koreans causing rsETH to become undercollateralized and now these looping positions are stuck and unprofitable, and everyone is pointing fingers at each other, and also DeFi is a very serious industry

@thepowerfulHRV @saylor annoying that i can’t buy STRC dips anymore! 🫩😂

That $STRC thing might be catching on. I'm monitoring the situation.

@bryan_johnson @tferriss wrote about this in the 4 hour body years ago and advocated for walks and air squats within 5 mins of each meal! Since then I always try to do some activity around mealtime with that in mind.

10 squats beats a 30 min walk. For blood sugar control after a meal, doing 10 squats every 45 minutes outperforms a dedicated 30 min walk by 14%. The mechanism: your quadriceps and glutes are the largest glucose sponge in your body. Activating them repeatedly clears more glucose than one sustained effort. The 30 min walk isn't wrong, it's just not as effective.

End U.S. aid to Israel

@Polymarket BREAKING: no one believes the US or Israel when they say anything.

BREAKING: White House official announces Israel has also agreed to a temporary 2-week Iranian ceasefire.

because perhaps your body doesn’t need it at that time? my TCM school teachers would often say your body craves what it needs. i think the difficulty is learning what is craved due to deficiency (lacking in minerals and vitamins and qi)and what is craved due to excess (overactive liver > sugar cravings bc of stress)

A couple times a year I go through a period of being grossed out by eggs. I haven’t been able to pinpoint why that is. Eggs are one of the most nutrient-dense foods we have easy access to and yet I have cycles of needing to reject them. Anyone else?

While travelling in Iran near the Strait of Hormuz, I visited family members of the 168 students and teachers massacred by U.S. airstrikes in the town of Minab. They angrily rejected any suggestion that they or the Minab school were connected to Iran's military. They also confirmed that they've been completely ignored by Western media, the U.N. and U.S. military investigators. My interviews of the family members took place at the cemetery where many of those killed have been laid to rest. I also visited the home of a family that lost five of its members in the atrocity. #Iran #IranWar youtube.com/watch?v=6o2R-_…

@TheNicoleNeuman @LynAldenContact I thought this blurb was describing our current society and not a sci fi book. Oh wait, it’s a perfect description of what’s happening right now.

amazon.com/Stolguard-Inci… Late 21st century society is more fractured than ever. Billions satisfy their every whim in virtual worlds, leaving those in power free to tighten their grip on the real one. When a terrorist with strange abilities launches a campaign of violence, military investigator Asim Rahal must stop her before she strikes again. Truth has always come with a price. Every hero asks themselves what’s worth dying for. The harder question is: what’s worth killing for? #BookRecommendations

@bramk mild to moderate psychosis and a severe lack of empathy and compassion

How could you be PRO war?

@that1618guy for lack of a better phrase, this is sick.

Most people analyze Bitcoin through a price lens. I've spent the last year asking a different question: what if the coordination dynamics between patient and speculative capital matter more than where you think price is headed? I see the Bitcoin market as a repeated coordination game. 2 types of capital show up every day: patient money (ETF holders, LTH accumulators) and speculative money (leveraged perps, momentum desks). Who's running the show at any given time is what actually drives market structure. Here's the tension. When patient capital cooperates, everyone benefits. Ranges compress, positioning builds quietly, and the trend compounds. But defection is always the better short-term play: extract before others do, front-run the move, lever up. The problem is when too many participants do it at once, liquidity degrades, volatility spikes, and everyone gets punished. Classic prisoner's dilemma playing out across thousands of actors with different time horizons every day. That's why Bitcoin cycles look so repetitive. Same structure every time. Most capital destruction doesn't happen at entry, in fact it happens when coordination fractures and you don't recognize the shift until price has already confirmed it. So the question for any allocator isn't "where is price going?" Rather, its "which regime am I in, and is coordination intact or breaking down?" That's what my BTC Game Theory model tracks the 3 behavioral states in real time: > Cooperation: Patient capital in control. 66% of the time. Where long exposure compounds. > Mixed: Transition zone. Nobody's in charge. No trade. > Defection: Leverage and reflexivity take over. 19% of the time but contains the worst drawdowns. Most capital destruction doesn't happen at entry but it happens when coordination fractures and you don't recognize the shift until it's too late. The model flagged both the 2022 bear market and the 2025 decline before price confirmed the breakdown -not by predicting price, but by catching the behavioral shift underneath. Full framework is live now on the Delphi's portal - how the regimes form, why they transition, and the mechanics that kept the model out of both major drawdowns. Bitcoin markets are a coordination game, not a price prediction problem.
