80s and the present. I would prefer the 80s.

Bitcoin - Getting close now to the end of a natural counter trend move in a bear market. $85-$88k area. However, there is a difference to this move. Counter trend moves are typically stronger (impulse) and shorter duration, this move is more consistent with base building over a longer period. For example, it has been 88 days since the low, no counter trend move to a local high took anywhere near this long. It means we could be looking at more of a time based Cycle Low developing over 2026. In that scenario, the next big pullback could be more of a retest of the bear range. We shall have to see.

It’s hard to build in DeFi. Mad respect for everyone doing it like G. You need constant, never-ending vigilance against an evolving attack surface area Which is why I’ll keep saying it: we need to be comfortable trading some efficiency and automation for guardrails and limits. Consumer protection is the most important thing. DeFi is extremely adversarial and needs more guardrails to scale What G is suggesting doesn’t compromise the core values of DeFi More risk management, more insurance, more policy, more guardrails. It’s never enough Assume you’re going to get hacked and work backwards from there

There’s so many things around the world you have to see to believe

in 1990 he convinced nasa to turn voyager 1 around and photograph earth from six billion kilometers away. our planet showed up as a single pixel... he called it the pale blue dot. he wrote that every saint, every sinner, every emperor, every farmer, every dreamer you have ever heard of had lived their whole life on that one piece of dust. before that, he chaired the committee that decided what humanity should send to anyone who might find us. two voyager spacecraft. one golden record on each. music from 27 cultures, 55 greetings, the sound of a kiss. ann druyan was on his team. while sagan was traveling, she quietly had her own brain waves and her own heart sounds recorded for the disc, while specifically thinking about being in love with him. they were not a couple yet. those neural patterns are now traveling through interstellar space at thirty-six thousand miles per hour. he and ann married soon after. she is still alive. in 1985 he testified before the us senate about the greenhouse effect. thirteen years before kyoto. forty years before any of it would be a normal thing to argue about. his peers in the national academy of sciences kept refusing to elect him. they thought making the universe legible to taxi drivers and the merely curious was beneath the profession. 500 million people across sixty countries watched cosmos. he was the most famous scientist on earth and the academy still said no. he never actually said billions and billions. that line was johnny carson doing him on the tonight show. december 20, 1996. pneumonia. age 62. ann was holding his hand. if voyager 1 is ever opened, the loudest signal on the disc is a woman thinking about him. what carl sagan moment first made the universe feel real to you?

Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter (now X) and Block, on why treating AI as a "copilot" is a losing strategy: @jack argues that most companies are approaching AI in a way that will make it nearly impossible for them to survive. "I think most of the industry is thinking about AI as like a co-pilot, as something that is augmented onto, rather than like how do you just rebuild our whole company with this as the core." His concern is that bolting AI onto existing structures produces companies that look indistinguishable from each other, and from the AI labs themselves. "If it doesn't make sense for your business to do that and you end up being or looking very similar or rhyming too closely with the frontier labs, then I think it's going to be very, very challenging to differentiate and survive." This thinking has been driving his decisions since early 2024, when these tools "really came to bear." That's when his team began building Goose, an agent coding harness, as part of a broader effort to rebuild around AI rather than layer it on top. The core insight? Speeding up old workflows with AI is a short-term gain every competitor will match. Real differentiation comes from rebuilding the company itself around intelligence.

PHD is good but please don’t waste time… - Lee Kuan Yew 😂

I've been heavily speculating in the markets (not full time) since 1992. My first trades were before online brokerage, you had to call in for quotes and to place orders. 4% commission in AND out. I had a great run during the DOT COM era. By 1999, I had a really chunky (for my age) portfolio and thought it was easy. By late 2000, the account was $0. That part was fun, at least. For the next 10 years I was super active, some good runs, some big drawdowns. Overall, nothing exceptional. Just decent. Then something shifted. The need to speculate faded and that’s when things actually got better. Once I stopped chasing it, opportunities started coming to me. Not just in trading. As I’ve gotten older and less interested in money itself, seeing opportunity has become clearer. And more than anything, removing that constant need elevated how I experience life. This isn’t meant to be spiritual (for some it is). But for a lot of people who are active and still underperforming, it’s worth asking what purpose this is really serving. Most of the time, it’s just a dopamine loop. And for many, it’s closer to an addiction than they would like to admit. And that could be what’s holding you back.

.@SolanaFndn President, @calilyliu explains why Solana is built for unified liquidity "The most important thing in finance is liquidity. No one is ever bigger than the market. The market will always win, liquidity will always win, and people will ultimately trade off every last thing in order to be part of the largest market. The idea that you could potentially create a marketplace available to 5.5 billion people, the population of people on the internet. There's no pool of liquidity which is ever going to be larger than that. That reinforces why the architecture of Solana from the beginning has been the preferred one. It prioritizes the number one thing about financial markets: unified liquidity."

Super happy that another 1/1 was scooped! @Pete__Richie thank you so much!! "bloom" on @objktcom now only "decay" and some editions of "birth" are available ❤️❤️❤️
