In 2025 I run 11 marathons, 1 ultra-marathon (+1 ultra which was cancelled after starting for safety -> joined the 12k run in afternoon instead) in 8 countries. 3 Mountain / trail runs and the rest were mostly flat roads. With inconsistent training & health: 3h 35m PB.

@justalexoki Women are adult toddlers.

i don't think women understand that men get the ick from their women crying too. like why are you acting like a child

Everyone who countersignaled Vitalik and the EF is conceding this is what they want for the future of “crypto.” Visa is not crypto. It will never be crypto.

If you write Rust and you've ever wondered whether blockchain is relevant to your backend work, I built something that points to a concrete answer. 🧵👇

@LizzyStarrrdust No, the normie distributions are wrong. Men's distribution is shifted right about 5 points.

There are more low IQ men than there are low IQ women. It's science.

@Pememoni @stripe @tempo @Visa @base They're all another anti-crypto, transparent, corpo, ai buzzwords psyop getting you used to the claws of the old world proliferating into the cypherpunk movement. Only needed payments system is for completely private and anonymous txs, like Monero.

WTF is MPP, Visa, Agents, 0x402, Tempo and how do they all relate? @Stripe and @Tempo launched MPP and mainnet today. Then @Visa announced Visa CLI for agents. @base has been leading with 0x402 for almost a year now. Are these the same thing? Are they all using stablecoins? Will there be a single winner across all applications? One way to understand this space is to separate two different debates that often get mixed together. One debate is about crypto rails vs cards, and one debate is about MPP vs 0x402. 1. The settlement debate: card rails vs crypto rails This is the more familiar dimension. It is about the financial infrastructure that ultimately moves money. Traditional card networks remain powerful because they are simple, global, and deeply integrated into the merchant ecosystem. Programmable interfaces that expose card payments to software agents make it possible to automate purchases without redesigning existing business workflows. For larger or occasional transactions, this model is still efficient. Accounting is clear. Compliance is built in. Acceptance is nearly universal. Crypto rails introduce a different set of properties. Stablecoins enable instant global settlement, low fees, and programmable balances that agents can manage directly. This becomes important when payments are small, frequent, or continuous. Machine workloads often involve metered usage rather than discrete purchases. In these environments, streaming or batched micro-settlement is structurally easier to implement with blockchain-based rails. The key point is that settlement choice is largely economic. Developers will select the rail that best matches payment frequency, size, and operational complexity. 2. The protocol debate: 0x402 vs MPP A second debate is happening one layer above settlement. This is about how agents actually express intent to pay. Both 0x402 style flows and MPP build on the long-unused HTTP 402 Payment Required semantics. The shared idea is that payment should become part of the normal request-response cycle of the web. An agent asks for a resource. The server issues a machine-readable payment challenge. The agent proves authorization. Access is granted. 0x402 implementations tend to focus on stateless payment challenges. Each request can include a payment requirement, making the model simple and composable. This approach has gained traction in ecosystems such as Base where low-cost execution supports high-frequency interactions. MPP introduces a more structured framework through payment sessions. An agent can open a spending mandate with defined constraints and settle usage incrementally over time. This reduces transaction overhead and fits well with continuous service consumption such as inference, data feeds, or automated workflows. The relationship between MPP and Tempo today is similar to the relationship between early 0x402 deployments and Base. A preferred execution environment exists, but the protocol itself is not tied to a single chain. MPP is designed to be payment-method neutral and can operate across stablecoins, cards, bank rails, or custodial systems. Stripe’s own experimentation with multiple standards suggests the long-term stack will remain multi-protocol. Combining the two layers Once these dimensions are separated, it becomes clear that they can be mixed in different ways. A developer could use crypto settlement coordinated through 0x402 challenges. Another system might use MPP sessions with stablecoin rails. In some cases, agents may even coordinate payment using HTTP-native standards while settling through card authorizations or off-chain balances. In practice, not every combination will be equally natural. High-frequency machine interactions tend to align with crypto rails and session-based coordination. Larger, discrete purchases often align with card networks and simpler authorization flows. The important insight is that the ecosystem is exploring both axes simultaneously rather than converging on a single design.

@gakonst From your list of project ideas, what would you like to build over the next few years, and why is it needed? Comparing the perspectives at the start of a project to those during launch, did anything fundamentally change your mind for that project/space?

We just launched Tempo Mainnet & the Machine Payments Protocol. Last 5 years our team also created: - Reth: high performance node SDK for Ethereum L1 & L2s. - Foundry: testing framework used to deploy/test >$100B in DeFi. - Wagmi/Viem: Typescript for all crypto web apps. AMA.

@TSIPS1267 @peter_szilagyi Mentions integrity and backs down and deletes commentary... Stand by your word. Almost all of crypto is normies masquerading trying to get in early with their garbage products because people are more likely to dump money into a new industry. Trash deserves to be called out.

@peter_szilagyi Don't delete stuff, let it stay for historical purposes. Besides, you were right, the dishonesty of crypto shilling is a big detriment to everyone and should be called out.

PSA: I've deleted all my tweets of the last 24 hours regarding #Ethereum. I care not to be dragged into playing mental gymnastics with statistics and word games. Good luck to everyone who still has their integrity, may you all prevail. 🫡

@lobstermindset Python plagues the world. Sometimes, you can find a crate / community version that won't be mentioned on their website. Makes me sad that Rust is still so uncommon. Then again, Rust is for autists and not normie product builders.

compared to crypto, finding very little rust support for the tradfi apis i'm trying to use. i didn't expect python to be so common bc i thought was too slow for lower latency trade execution... is everyone just building their own sdks in house?

@DavidWall139368 @MomsPostingLs The correct response isn't to be a pushover and instead tell her to watch her mouth or she's getting kicked out immediately. You get more of what you tolerate. She behaves and gets her childish emotions and retorts in check, or she gets consequences, not a beta provider reward.

This is a textbook collision between the Justice Ethic (objective facts, like boiling points) and the Care Ethic (her emotional reaction to feeling corrected).  She is throwing out a chaotic, sweeping statement to pressure-test your Frame. If you get frustrated or try to logically argue the physics of cooking pasta, you fail the test by treating emotional chaos as a rational dialogue.  Instead, a King holds a Benevolent Frame and deploys the 'Agree & Amplify' tactic from his arsenal to easily deflect the storm. The perfect response here is to playfully lean into the absurdity: 'You caught us, the patriarchy's top secret agenda is actually just gatekeeping cold water.'  Never argue the logic of an emotional test; just hold your structure.

@bluewmist Childhood abuse and never being loved

People who exercise even when they don't feel like it, what's your trick?

@LiorGoldberg2 @StarkWareLtd Are you trying to beg for your freedom as you co-exist, or are you trying to make your enemy obsolete and regain your freedom?

@xbraqzen @StarkWareLtd Compliance is a must at this point. Otherwise institutions won't accept your funds and funds I can't use aren't worth much. Maybe you're right, and in the future it'll be full privacy, but not right now.

Privacy blockchains have been around for years. Yet, we barely use them. Why? Here are the real barriers: 1. Ease of use: Privacy must be native to the wallet. It can't be a separate dApp - that's too much friction. 2. Assets: We need privacy infrastructure, not privacy tokens. You shouldn't have to swap your ETH or BTC for a different token just to get anonymity. 3. Performance: Transactions must be fast and cheap. 4. Compliance: Total transparency is exposure; total anonymity is a magnet for bad actors. We need a middle ground: a mechanism to surgically unshield illicit activity without compromising the privacy of other users. Starknet is solving this. With STRK20, we're addressing these hurdles. The best privacy solution is coming to Starknet. Soon.

@CultOfNoMeaning @QuanticASI No, you're adorable with the typical normie take that makes you feel good. Consciousness is an inherent property of intelligence. A planet, a rock, a weather system, etc. is not intelligent. It's a sequence of steps that produced a result. Complex but unintelligent.

@QuanticASI We assume intelligence needs consciousness because admitting otherwise means our “self” isn’t the star of the show—it’s just extra baggage on top of patterns that already solve problems perfectly. Most can’t handle that demotion; they need to feel significant. Adorable.

why do we assume intelligence requires consciousness?

@yesjess A decaying body with increasing health problems, closer to death. If I had a magic button that, without consequences, allowed you to be decades younger, healthier, live longer, then you would press it. Having an old body is horrible. A longer existence/experience is wonderful.

@xbraqzen Being old is wonderful. I hope you make it there as well.

Marked myself safe from 21 year old incels positioning women only based on looks. Having no SMV as a crypto grammy is ny new superpower.

@aakashgupta Now, categorise it by age and sex

50% of all relationship advice on Reddit is “leave.” 15 years of data, 52 million comments, and the trend line only goes one direction. A researcher filtered r/relationship_advice down to 1,166,592 quality comments and tracked what people actually recommend. In 2010, “End Relationship” sat around 30%. By 2025, it’s approaching 50%. “Communicate” dropped from 22% to 14%. “Compromise” collapsed from 7% to 3%. “Give Space” fell from 25% to 13%. Every category that requires patience lost ground every single year. The one category growing faster than “leave” is “Seek Therapy,” which went from 1% to 6%. The subreddit is slowly learning to say “this is above my pay grade.” Train a model on this dataset and it would absolutely tell people to break up. The training data is 50% “leave” and climbing. The model wouldn’t be broken. It would be accurately reflecting what 52 million commenters actually believe about your relationship. A 50% prior that you should leave, a 14% prior that you should talk about it, and a 6% prior that you need a professional. That’s not LLM psychosis. That’s the median human opinion on your relationship, backed by the largest advice dataset ever assembled.

@haildhruv Someone would make a lot of money if they made this to replace garbage like leetcode, learning data structures, and system design. Code it, see if you beat the level, and if not, you can probably visually see the mistake and adjust it.

Someone made a game in which you have to program a drone using a simple python-like language to fully automate various farming tasks

@shinboson I've had so many women do this. They're solipsistic, so they naturally expect you to move for them. You can see 0 fear of consequences in their eyes. They're aware and just keep moving. It's abhorrent, disgusting creatures, considered many times just walking through them.

the reason why the men are surprised is because in a collision they're not the ones who are gonna get the worst of it. even though not colliding is both of their responsibilities, it is only her problem.

@acollnft Just to dig it in, I can name a tiny number of women that have seemingly contributed. The rest are typical npc toddlers that co-opt a space, do nothing, and try to pat themselves on the back for waking daily. Just from that list you can see how many of them are vapid whores.

@acollnft Can you select some of them and point out exactly what they specifically built (not their team, commits, repo links)? Women almost never contribute any value and love crying about reposting etc. as "work". They're there to look good, diversity, and do basic tasks of little value

posts like this are so gross to me many of these women have been actively building and contributing to our space for YEARS only to be reduced to some dude’s “would” list and even worse, he’s a badged affiliate of a legitimate trading tool our space will remain a joke with negative mainstream perception until we move past 2014 4chan incel behavior
