@chamath If AI compresses terminal value and makes every moat temporary, capital will rotate to assets with no disruption risk. Bitcoin is Digital Capital - scarce, neutral, and impervious to AI disruption. $BTC should be the primary beneficiary of this shift.

Watching 6 AI agents design an app together genuinely blew my mind.

🚨 BREAKING TETHER IS LAUNCHING USDT ON BITCOIN, WITH TRANSACTIONS SETTLING DIRECTLY ON THE BASE LAYER AND THE LIGHTNING NETWORK. A MASSIVE STEP FOR BITCOIN’S PAYMENT ECOSYSTEM. ⚡️

my claude flow is so battle-tested that half the time i catch myself just hitting yes/no/enter, so i built myself a ralph that doesn’t suck. it follows swe best practices with quality gates (e.g., plankton), adopts best-in-class context engineering practices, and can handle complex codebases, with stacked prs and multiple rounds of pr review. article and repo soon. spoiler, it's all claude -p

Everyone: "Saylor's underwater on Bitcoin. He's cooked." Saylor: "We're like a company that owns 3.4% of Manhattan with enough capital to hold out to the end of this century." "You're telling me it's been a bad week in Manhattan real estate?" The "loss" only exists if you're forced to sell. He's not forced to do anything. You are. That's the difference.

the cybersecurity industry is about to get completely disrupted.. 💀 someone just open-sourced a fully autonomous AI Red Team. it’s called PentAGI. multiple AI agents that talk to each other to hack a target. zero human input.

Bitcoin will have its AI Moment It's worth your time to read these...

MiniMax just dropped M2.5: - 80.2% SWE-Bench (beats Opus 4.6) - 37% faster than M2.1 - $1/hr at 100 tokens/sec - cheaper than Opus 4.6 - it’s open source.

open-source giving big ai a run for its money agentic coding for free with minimax m2.5 and kimi k.25 for free literally zero barriers to try agentic coding without paying a single cent

I found a way to sell AI infrastructure to companies doing $2M-$50M/year. ALL with no sales team, enterprise connections or cold calls. Businesses are desperate for Ai implementation right now and anyone can do this. But most people get it wrong and that's why they fail. They lead with tools, ex) "we build automations" or "we integrate AI." That means nothing to a CEO managing 40 people and $5M in revenue. They pitch features instead of showing the cost of doing nothing. And they price hourly, so the buyer treats them like a freelancer instead of a partner. Mid-market and enterprise companies are bleeding $100K-$500K/year on broken processes, bloated SaaS stacks, and manual work they don't even realize they're paying for. They WANT to buy AI infrastructure, they just don't trust most people selling it. Because most people selling it sound like every other agency. I created a guide breaking down exactly: → How to position AI infrastructure so executives actually listen → The discovery framework that turns a 30-min call into a $25K-$100K project → How to calculate ROI so the price sells itself → The 3-pillar strategy process that closes 60%+ of qualified prospects → Why "sell the map before you sell the build" changes everything RT + reply "INFRA" and I'll send you the FULL guide (must follow so I can DM)

AI AGENTS CAN NOW PAY OVER THE BITCOIN ⚡️ LIGHTNING NETWORK A new open-source toolkit from Lightning Labs allows autonomous AI agents to operate natively on the Bitcoin Lightning Network. This integration enables agents to perform instant, programmatic micropayments without the traditional hurdles of identity verification, API keys, or manual signup flows. The release provides seven modular "skills" that create a full-stack financial environment for software: Infrastructure: Tools for running Lightning nodes and isolating private keys via remote signers. Authorization: The use of "scoped macaroons" (granular permission slips) and L402-gated APIs to manage access. Automation: Orchestration of buyer-seller workflows and node state querying. At the core is lnget, an L402 aware CLI client similar to curl that automatically handles Lightning payments. When an agent hits a 402 “Payment Required” response, lnget parses the invoice, pays it, caches credentials, and retries the request seamlessly. Developers can enforce strict spending caps per request and at the node level. By using Aperture on the server side, developers can implement pay-per-use APIs with dynamic pricing. This completes the Machine-to-Machine (M2M) commerce loop: one agent sells data or compute, another buys it, and the Lightning Network settles the transaction instantly and globally. AI agents can write code and deploy infrastructure and now they can transact. The machine payable web just moved one step closer.

Prediction: AI will achieve what old spam couldn’t. It will force Hashcash adoption. If sending is free and verification costs human time, trust collapses. Adam @adam3us was always right. Just early.

What normies hear when I explain how Bitcoin mining works:

AI agents can write code, send emails, and make phone calls. But they still can't transact. Today we're fixing that. Releasing a new set of tools that give agents native access to the Lightning Network: lnget for automatic L402 payments, MCP for node operations, remote signing for key isolation, and scoped credentials for spending control. The machine-payable web starts now. And bitcoin makes it possible. ⚡🦞 lightning.engineering/posts/2026-02-…
