x402 and mpp will always compete against website scrapers (which have gotten much better w/ agents) wonder how this changes the next wave of the internet > more locked down websites > more human verification/separation of traffic b/n humans/agents cloudflare.. looks good here

E172: @Saylor: Why Hard Work Won't Make You Rich Michael Saylor is the chairman of @Strategy - the world's largest corporate holder of Bitcoin with over 840,000 BTC and $65+ billion deployed. He bought his first Bitcoin in 2020 when the Fed cut rates to zero hasn't stopped since. With WSH, I always want to go much deeper than the current narrative and that’s exactly what we did here. We gradually moved past the surface and into the things that really shaped Michael. We talked about his childhood, growing up in a military family, buying domain names in the 1990s and flipping them for tens of millions, losing $6 billion of his net worth in a single day during the dot-com bubble, his great Apple bet in 2012, why working hard won't make you rich, why you should mortgage your house but probably not sell your kidney to buy BTC, why "THERE IS NO SECOND BEST", and a lot more. The conversation lasted more than two hours, much longer than originally planned, and it was just amazing. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 03:05 - Explain what you do to an Uber driver 05:35 - Advice for Rick, the struggling Uber driver 07:07 - Who is Michael Saylor? 11:02 - Sponsors @Trezor & @Bitwise 11:48 - Kevin's Business Intelligence Company 13:14 - Michael's childhood and chip on the shoulder 17:56 - Has Michael conquered the world yet? 19:49 - Just because you can, doesn't mean you should 28:23 - Sponsors @KASTxyz & @sumsub 30:02 - Low time preference and scarcity 43:50 - Buying and flipping domain names for tens of millions 55:11 - Bitcoin is a lifeboat 1:01:31 - Should you mortage your house to buy Bitcoin? 1:09:50 - The great $60B in Bitcoin bet: risks 1:15:32 - Sponsors @JupiterExchange , @ethena 1:16:16 - Sell the kidney if you must but keep the Bitcoin 1:20:14 - What's the endgame for Strategy? 1:28:16 - Where does Bitcoin price end? 1:29:36 - Where would Bitcoin price be without Michael Saylor? 1:31:06 - What is STRC? 1:35:34 - Should my mom put her life savings in STRC? 1:37:12 - How do you always invent new ways to buy more Bitcoin? 1:49:19 - From God to Madman every 6 months: handling insane volatility 1:51:49 - How Michael lost $6 Billion of his net worth in one single day in 2000 and then watched MSTR go down another 99% 1:59:09 - Why Michael doesn't have children 1:59:44 - Why working hard is the worst advice you can get 2:07:37 - Why THERE IS NO SECOND BEST, there is only one crypto asset 2:15:03 - Thanking Michael from the whole crypto industry

Alice swaps privately on L1 tldr: Privacy protocol users today depend on broadcasters that can see, frontrun, and censor their transactions. In this thread we show how four future protocol upgrades can remove this dependency step by step. Native AA (EIP-8141) and 2D nonces let users self-submit with no off-chain infrastructure. Encrypted frame transactions hide swap parameters until after block ordering is committed. FOCIL guarantees inclusion as long as one honest includer can see the transaction pending in the public mempool. 👇🧵

Jane Street's head of technology just explained the full spectrum of how fast their trading decisions are made. the fastest systems turn around a packet in under 100 nanoseconds. at that speed, if you attached an oscilloscope to the wire going in and the wire going out, you'd see the response start to leave before the incoming packet has finished arriving. at that speed, you can't use a CPU. you can't use any programming language. you're on an FPGA direct wired to the network. and the decisions you're making are incredibly simple. because you literally can't compute anything complex in that time. but here's the part most people miss: that's just one end of the spectrum. Jane Street runs an ensemble of systems operating at every timescale simultaneously. some decisions happen in nanoseconds. some in microseconds. some in milliseconds. some take hours or a full day. "the right way to build an optimal trading strategy is an ensemble approach. for some decisions you're making very simple decisions very quickly. for others, you're operating at the scale of microseconds, milliseconds. and in some cases, if you can get that decision turned around in an hour, that's totally fine." the faster you need to respond, the simpler the decision has to be. the slower you can afford to go, the smarter the model can be. this is why "Jane Street is just a speed game" is wrong. speed is one dimension. intelligence is the other.

Short-term things being done to shift Ethereum toward native privacy: * AA + FOCIL (makes privacy protocol txs, among many other things, first-class with strong inclusion guarantees) * Keyed nonces: x.com/soispoke/statu… * Access-layer work (Kohaku, private reads...)
MilliΞ@llamaonthebrink

Ethereum’s missing component at this point is some form of native privacy. ETH’s utility value would literally jump over night. I feel like privacy is the type of feature that can give an asset true “moneyness” qualities. L1 privacy could also drive a surge in mainnet fees.

🚨 LEOPOLD ASCHENBRENNER IS OFFICIALLY BETTING BILLIONS THAT THE AI HARDWARE BOOM HAS PEAKED. The exOpenAI researcher who was fired for warning that China could steal their AI models then turned $225 million into $5.5 billion in 12 months just filed his Q1 2026 13F with the SEC. One quarter ago he had $5.5 billion in disclosed equity exposure. As of March 31, 2026 that number is $13.67 billion. The portfolio nearly tripled in a single quarter across 42 positions. He initiated $7.46 billion in put options against every major semiconductor company between January 1 and March 31, 2026. None of these positions existed in his Q4 2025 filing. - SMH VanEck Semiconductor ETF PUT: $2.04 billion - Nvidia PUT: $1.57 billion - Oracle PUT: $1.07 billion - Broadcom PUT: $1.01 billion - AMD PUT: $969 million - Micron PUT: $583 million - Taiwan Semiconductor PUT: $535 million - ASML PUT: $494 million - Intel PUT: $159 million For the past 18 months Aschenbrenner was betting only on electricity, memory, compute, and physical data center infrastructure. That made him one of the best performing fund managers in the world. And his long stock book still reflects that exact same thesis. - Bloom Energy: $878 million - SanDisk: $724 million - CoreWeave: $556 million - IREN: $401 million - Core Scientific: $389 million - Applied Digital: $320 million - Riot Platforms: $142 million - CleanSpark: $104 million - Solaris Energy: $62 million - T1 Energy: $43 million - Bitfarms: $38 million - Bitdeer: $29 million - Power Solutions: $26 million - WhiteFiber: $20 million - Babcock and Wilcox: $19 million - SharonAI: $18 million - ProPetro: $13 million - Hive Digital: $6 million He is also running call options on specific names at the same time as his puts, which means he is not simply betting against semiconductors everywhere. - Micron CALL: $422 million - SanDisk CALL: $388 million - Taiwan Semiconductor CALL: $354 million - CoreWeave CALL: $140 million - Bloom Energy CALL: $55 million This means he believes the companies supplying power, storage, and compute to the AI industry still have years of growth ahead of them. But the chip companies that Wall Street has been buying for the past two years at record valuations have already priced in everything good that is going to happen to them. The man who has been right about every major AI trade for the past 18 months is now betting that the biggest names in semiconductors are about to fall. If his track record means anything, the chip stocks Wall Street has been buying for the past two years may be in serious trouble.

Unfathomably bad takes around this this morning and a good reminder of why 13F digging is mostly a waste of time. - March 31st we were in the heat of the Iran war, makes sense to put on hedges at the time. - Options exposure on 13F’s get quoted notionally, so as if it were 100 delta i.e all 100 shares per contract. - We have no way of knowing whether these were 5 delta convexity hedges and represented a fraction of what people are saying were billions in puts or whether they were ITM puts. - Further, outright shorts don’t get reported either. Too much noise associated with things that happened back in March that aren’t relevant now, we have no idea about his turnover in assets of trade frequency. A lot happened in the months of April and May, his positioning could be completely different. Making investment decisions for 80 vol assets based on data from months ago sounds like a good way to burn money. So don’t idolize people and develop Your own thesis for why you sell and own things.

Combos/parlays are close to becoming a third of Kalshi volume. Here is the mix of volume by market type over the trailing seven days ("exotics" = combos). Effectively 85-90% of volume at Kalshi is still sports... if you hear someone saying sports as a category is decreasing.
