"Trusted third parties are security holes." @NickSzabo4 the mantra of the #blockchain enthusiast

I was on the ground in the Dubai, UAE when the first missiles hit on Feb 28. 🚀 That night I started (vibe-) building a tracker. Posted a few tweets. 4,500 people found it organically. 📈 That pushed me to turn it into a proper product. 🧵

@owocki I recently finished it and was looking for more concrete stuff on the legal wrappers for DAOs.

i wrote a book it's about how groups coordinate without a central authority governance, incentives and designing systems that last if you’re curious about collective action in practice, i might be biased, but this is a good place to start you can find it linked in my bio

Kusama - The Second Age of Cyberpunk Experimentation 🐦‍⬛ Kusama evolved into the canary it should have been all along a bird aligned with the Cyberpunk vision. No longer just @Polkadot's testing ground. It is the most radical network in the Web3 ecosystem, with 10M DOT to fund what no one else dares to build: → Sovereign Digital Identity → Privacy powered by zero-knowledge technology → Art as resistance, inspired by Cyberpunk philosophy The future of Kusama must be built by those brave enough to experiment.

I’m vibecoding an app to organize the work of 30+ people. Not “building software.” Translating 20+ years of operational scars from one insanely energy-draining org mess into structure. Know-how → logic → app. No software house. Just experience crystallized into code.

We built Jikipedia, a new wiki that compiles Jmail data into exhaustive reports on key figures in the Epstein scandal. It lists all recorded visits to Epstein's estates, each person's possible knowledge of Epstein's crimes and laws that they may have violated. Here is Epstein's executive assistant, who sent >100k emails to him and was shielded from prison via a 2007 non-prosecution deal.

@bneiluj @RektHQ Which genius is creating the great designs for Rekt?

People were laughing when I built @RektHQ. They’re still laughing because Rekt News is 100% Markdown. Meanwhile .md is basically taking over everything. Rekt News has been agent-friendly from day one 😄

@PolkaPort_East @Polkadot @consensus2026 Well done lads! I hope the avengers unite soon again!

Day 2 for @polkadot at @consensus2026 ✅

@alice_und_bob The only metric that counted for me was how many conferences we were able to send you. In this, at least we've succeeded.

These last two days were pretty emotional for me. I was standing in the booth for one last time sure colleagues that I came to respect a lot. Visited the booth of a major global exchange where a listing manager proudly told me that „the bear market is not really an issue. Retail buys everything we push to them!“ Heard of a fresh protocol that sold 500m USD of their tokens pre product launch. Saw some of the most scammy creatures of the industry assembled to celebrate their continued success. And couldn’t shake the feeling that it’s only the grifters that are winning. I pitied myself for trying to make Web3 real and having little to show for it. Instead of writing useful applications I participated in a 2 year experiment of open governance that in the end spent 250m USD with barely any results. I contributed to stopping one major grift while others kept passing for way too long. Then I reminded myself that many good people are in a position to pity themselves right now. And it doesn’t matter that much. As long as there are gamblers willing to give away their money, there are grifters willing to pick it up. The Polkadot booth felt weird this time. People came to appreciate the weird pink design. Many many people asked „So what is Polkadot?“. A few came by to say they bought DOT many many years ago and almost forgot about it („don’t check your wallet!“) When people came and tried to sell whatever useless stuff they wanted to sell I was often super close to telling them „sorry but no one is interested in yet another DEX aggregator/paying you for integrating your DeFi primitives/stablecoin integration/no-KYC off-ramp“. But I didn’t want my anger to get the better of me. I took their contact and wished them well. I can ignore them on Telegram later. I looked over to the face of Phil and Dom Kwok. For 2 whole days their faces were on 3 big screens of their hackathon, visible from every angle of the whole hall (last year they had a separate hall. I heard someone say the prize pool was announced to be ONE MILLION DOLLARS but then materialized to be 5k is USD, and I couldn’t see the name of a single sponsor) Charles Hoskinson appeared in a McDonalds outfit. I think Midnight Network is the perfect coverup for Cardano‘s choice of using UTXO. Just shove the problem to the next layer. But I was glad to have a chat with Vasiliki. I think she is the most beautiful woman I met in Web3. „What do you think about 2026 being a bear market?“ two people asked me. What? Sorry but I’ve been in a bear market for 5 years. I don’t get your question. Just learn to endure the neverending pain of the consequences your past choices. I met an ex Parity employee who was actually interested in what’s new with Polkadot. I met Mo, a retail trader who visited the conference to determine his next entries and I had the most honest conversation about all the good and bad of Polkadot with him to give him a chance to make the right determination. I met the representative of a major bank to discuss how Polkadot SDK could be used as a stablecoin sandbox. Every time when I talk with a real professional from a big institution I put all my excitement for Polkadot and what it can do in front of them until they start to get it too. They take a mental note to get back to it. We exchange names. Will anything ever come of it? And all my colleagues are sad. This is our last booth. We chat and laugh and are sad together. We pass the time as professionally as possible. I hate free giveaway merch. It perverts the incentives. The bounty needs KPIs. So we come up with this bullshit metric of „activations“. But the real reason is that no one has any plan for this booths. No one is saying „our target this time is to onboard 100 new developers“ or „get the contact of 10 banks“ or „have 1000 conversations with X framing“. So instead we give away 300 Tshirts and take 300 email addresses.

🧵The best response to the bogus decision by the IOC @Olympics to ban the helmet of @heraskevych and silence the memory of Ukrainian athletes murdered by russia, is to see their faces, learn their names and share it with the world! They want it gone, we’ll show it everywhere!🇺🇦

Next time you feel bad for missing something that mooned Imagine being SBF: - Put $500m into Anthropic, which would now be worth $70b. - Held $60m in $SOL at $8 that would've been worth $2.1b at the top. - Put $100m into Mysten Labs that would now be worth over $800m. - Invested in Robinhood and held a 7.5% stake that would now be worth $10b. Instead, everything got seized before they went up, and he missed out on $80b in profits 😭

@danicuki difficult to break the habits, but worth the effort.

In the ever evolving AI world, I am trying to fully migrate from platforms with less privacy to those with more privacy guarantees. It is a necessary journey. What about you? Do you already use any service on the right column? How do you feel about it?
