@willywoo Thanks for sharing the link

PSA to Kiwi Bitcoiners, one of my portfolio companies Stacked (formerly LightningPay) is giving away $20 of BTC to people who sign up to stack sats. It's hands down the easiest way for Kiwis to stack BTC in NZ.

This is Melbourne, formerly the most liveable city in the world.

@KobeissiLetter Dude can't even deliver FSD here on Earth... Never happening.

This is incredible: Elon Musk will receive 200 million super-voting shares in SpaceX ONLY IF the company establishes a permanent Mars colony with at least 1 million people. In other words, Elon Musk will only receive this pay package if 1 million people live on Mars. In other words, Elon Musk's biggest goal is now establishing a colony on Mars with a similar population as Dallas, Texas. Musk is so optimistic about this goal that the vast majority of his pay is now contingent on it. Life on Mars is closer than many expect.

@DanielW_Kiwi I guess that answers the age-old question of "Who ate all the pies?"

Australians eat an average of 12 meat pies per year, roughly 270 million nationally. While New Zealanders eat even more, averaging 15 pies per person, totalling about 66 million a year. More recent data bumps that NZ figure up: 2020 data from Food Standards Australia/New Zealand put the number of pies eaten in New Zealand at just over 74 million for that year, more per capita than any other country.

@RaoulGMI Have you read Thomas Piketty's book where he talks about Universal Basic Wealth? Pretty interesting (and similar) angle where he argues to level inequality all people should receive a de-facto inheritance to start them off on a more level playing field.

Forget UBI. The answer is Universal Basic Equity… and it’s humanity’s pension plan for the post-AGI world... The Economic Singularity is coming faster than people think and the default question is how humans make money in a world that doesn’t really need them anymore. The default answer is UBI, which is transfer payments from a state, funded by taxing an AI economy that nation states can neither see nor keep up with. It’s a 20th century answer to a 21st century problem and it’s broken before it even starts. Agents are becoming the dominant user of the internet, not humans. Your AI is becoming your entire front end UX. The clicks economy is dying everywhere except where humans pay to feel something - clothing, travel, luxury, experiences, culture. Agents run on crypto rails because nothing else works. The dollar doesn’t fractionalise below a cent, settlement isn’t instant, permissions are required, jurisdictions matter. Stablecoins handle the dollar leg and native tokens handle the rest. The biggest users of DeFi in five years won’t be humans farming yield… it’ll be agents managing treasuries, swapping, earning and spending at machine speed. Capital formation has already shown its new shape and it came from the most unexpected place. Memecoins. Everyone wrote them off as a casino but they were a prototype. Instant capital formation around the attention of an idea, raised by entities without legal personhood, settled in seconds. That is the template agent economies will use to fund themselves. And it’s not just agents... Robots will run on the same rails, with zk permissions issued from our wallets as the source of truth, because biometrics are far too flawed for that role Open source code itself gets tokenized and finally captures the value it creates, instead of being monetized through bolted-on services and subscriptions. Proof of humanhood becomes the trust layer that lets us release agents into the world without society collapsing under synthetic noise. Identity, authentication, verification, permissioning, all of it migrates onto the same substrate. So when you zoom out, the L1s aren’t just settling agent transactions but settling the entire coordination layer of the new economy… agents, robots, humans, code, capital, identity and trust. Every contract, every treasury, every permission, every stake. Open source finally captures the value it creates, at scale, for the first time, and truly vast value accrues to the coordination layer because everything routes through it. Which brings us to the actual answer to the Economic Singularity… Universal Basic Equity. Anyone on earth with a phone and an internet connection can buy a stake in the substrate that the new economy runs on. No KYC walls, no accreditation rules, no jurisdiction, no employer, no state, no permission. The first homogenous, permissionless, globally fractionalisable claim on the productive infrastructure of the world. It's not a slogan but a structural fact about how blockchains actually work. This is their purpose. Wealth comes from owning the substrate. Income comes from being human, because attention and experience remain the irreducible currency of culture, community and love. Abundance of goods and services from AI handles the cost of living. Taxing data center electricity use solves the tax issue. Four legs of a stool that holds up the post-singularity human world. So… just buy the fucking tokens. Bitcoin if you want pure store of value, a basket of the major L1s if you want the coordination layer. 10% of your earnings, every month, for a decade. You'll be wealthy and protected from the changes to come. Crypto is going to $100trn in the next 6 to 8 years and well beyond that after. You can choose to invest in your own economic disruption, or get left behind by it. And if you’re worried about timing the cycle… …adjust your time horizon. This is humanity’s pension plan. It's all so absurdly fucking obvious...

@HuntClancy Welcome to the resistance my simian comrade... Also, why did they have to bring the monkey's race into it?

@BenBurgis @NJHagens no idea why you would have this guy on your show 😒

This is, I'm sorry, insane on a level that makes Stop the Steal and vaccine-denialism look downright reasonable.

@PodSaveAmerica He's answering as if he got the question in the job interview that he hadn't prepared for...

"What changes by just saying 'Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal?'" –Jon Lovett to Senator Cory Booker Watch more Pod Save America on YouTube!

@MarioNawfal @visegrad24 Shut up, nerd

🇫🇷 Rima Hassan, the French MEP who constantly defends Hamas and Iran while rocking the keffiyeh, just got exposed living her best Western life. Caught with weed and party drugs, now a bikini photo goes viral. Pure hypocrisy on full display. Source: @visegrad24

@BladeoftheS Boycott FIFA...

Iran asked FIFA to move its World Cup matches to Mexico after Donald Trump said the Iranian team would not be safe in the USA. FIFA refused their request. The World Cup needs to be removed from the USA, let Mexico and Canada host it alone.

@RaoulGMI You're the macro/numbers guy. Keen to see how you think a world that runs on hydrocarbons in a highly interconnected and fragile supply chain can withstand this incoming shock? Unless you were being genuine in your tweet, which it didn't seem so. Real Fourth Turning stuff here.

We are getting to that point of doom on Iran where X got to on Ukraine. Back then without gas and food we were going to be cholipping frozen, starved, dead Europeans of the streets. This time it's oil, gas, fertilizer and helium all about to bring about the end of humanity as we know it....

@AFpost Come get your boy @AdamFriedland

Gavin Newsom clarifies he is a “proud Zionist” who “reveres Israel.” He said he “regrets” calling Israel an “apartheid state”, only meaning to describe Netanyahu’s leadership. Follow: @AFpost

@ThePettiestLA Hit em with the JMSN

Luke Kennard wide open for a three-pointer:

@KobeissiLetter Cheaper than the $5 million insurance policies I saw quoted somewhere. Deal!

BREAKING: An oil tanker operator paid Iran a $2 million fee for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, per FT. Iran is now charging "favored" countries millions per oil tanker for safe passage through Hormuz.

@Khaled_E_N @zeteo_news @mehdirhasan @ChrisVanHollen I mean... very unfortunate place to have that stutter 🫤

@zeteo_news @mehdirhasan @ChrisVanHollen he said netanyahu is not not dead, which means he's dead.

“Is Benjamin Netanyahu dead?” @mehdirhasan asks Senator @ChrisVanHollen, who sits on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, what the entire internet is dying to know.

@TruthFairy131 @xstinamendez are these the orbs you speak of?

2012 Prediction for APRIL 2026

@AndrewCapasso_ @pmarca @grok keep everything else the same but make the statue have a bald, conical head

It is 100% true that great men and women of the past were not sitting around moaning about their feelings. I regret nothing.

@borjamartels @roxom Do you serve NZ customers?

This was the demand for $STRC on @roxom this week. Although we could serve most of them, we are yet to be available in all regions. Insane how the entire world has been buying or wanting to buy $STRC on the paltform.
