I was at the Bitcoin conference the last 2 days… and if I’m honest, it didn’t feel like a Bitcoin event at times. It felt like a crypto / TradFi crossover. That might sound subtle, but it’s a big difference to me There was a lot of talk about: • Public companies • Capital raising • Lending products • Institutional flows All interesting. All relevant. But… is that really Bitcoin? Because Bitcoin, at its core, isn’t about financial engineering. It’s about opting out. Bitcoin was born out of distrust in the existing system. A response to bailouts, debasement, and central control. Not to be repackaged back into the same system it was designed to replace. The message used to be simple: • Buy Bitcoin • Take custody • Hold long term No counterparty risk. No middlemen. No games. Not your keys.... Now it feels like we’re drifting toward: • “Exposure” instead of ownership • Custodians instead of self custody • Yield products instead of sovereignty And that shift matters. Because once you introduce leverage, lending, and layers of abstraction… You reintroduce the very risks Bitcoin was meant to remove. Maybe this is just the natural cycle. As Bitcoin grows, institutions arrive. And with them comes complexity, products, and profit motives. But somewhere along the way, it feels like the signal is getting lost in the noise. Bitcoin isn’t just another asset class. It’s a completely different system. I’m not anti innovation. And I’m not anti business. Of course im not. But I do think it’s worth asking: Are we building on Bitcoin… or rebuilding the old system around it? Because if we’re not careful, we end up with: A decentralised asset… wrapped in centralised risk. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe this is just part of adoption. But it definitely felt like something had shifted. Curious to hear from others who were there… Did it feel like a Bitcoin conference to you?

@torfsrik Ah, het gaat nochtans niet immer om u. Ik beaamde uw argument tegen de krant.

Zeker, ik ben nu eenmaal een ijdeltuit. Maar u vindt wellicht wel dat ik gelijk heb. Anders had u ongetwijfeld een tegenargument geformuleerd.

@torfsrik Alles voor de clicks.

“Amerikaans Hooggerechtshof schaft bescherming zwarte kiezers af.” Wat een vreselijk suggestieve titel in De Standaard. De bedoeling is juist om van ‘ras’ een minder beslissend criterium te maken en iedereen gelijke kansen te geven. Racisme hoort niet thuis in een rechtsstaat.

Let me make this simple for everyone. A $78,000 prize was just awarded to someone who: ❌ Copied my code word for word ❌ Has job IDs that don’t exist ❌ Produced results a laptop can replicate in seconds ❌ Has no timestamps in any execution log ❌ Committed the winning code at 9:23 AM on deadline morning — from MY public repo ❌ The awarded 15-bit result doesn’t even exist in his repo I submitted a BIGGER result the day before the deadline: ✅ 16-bit ECC key recovered ✅ Real IBM Quantum hardware — ibm_fez ✅ Job ID: d78mud3c6das739i2rlg — anyone can verify this right now ✅ Submitted April 4 — one day before deadline ✅ Their exact curve. Their exact key. EC-verified. @yuvadm just proved the winner’s “quantum” result works identically with a random number generator. No quantum computer needed. I used REAL quantum hardware. I submitted FIRST. I broke a BIGGER key. Project Eleven took $20M from Coinbase Ventures, Castle Island, and Balaji — then awarded their own prize to stolen code and fake results. They blocked me on X when I asked why. This isn’t about quantum. This is about fraud. github.com/SilkForgeAi/QD… Job ID verifiable: quantum.ibm.com @BitcoinNews @DecryptMedia @CoinDesk @coinbase @Balajis @NicCarter

Finding Satoshi doc was great. But, they missed a clue. Citation [2] in whitepaper is an obscure print-only paper from a conference in Belgium. It was basically only accessible via local university libraries in the region until 2020. Sassaman was PhD at KU Leuven in Belgium.

Italian efficiency when it comes to coffee should be studied. In Italy: - Walk into a bar and look at the guy - Un caffe - 30 seconds later it’s ready - Shoot it - Leave €1 - Walk out In the US: - Join a line - Wait - Order coffee - Answer 12 questions: Size? Milk? Roast? Sugar? Temperature? Colombia beans? Name? How do you spell it? - $12.34 - Ask for a 20% tip. Click 5 times on a ipad to have a custom tip - Tap phone - ask where to send the invoice - Wait again on a different line - Someone call a name that sounds similar to mine - get the coffee - too hot, can't drink it - finally at temperature taste like shit

Abraham Lincoln is a hero of mine, and he had the very best take on racial relations. When he was told that the blacks' dark skin meant they were meant to be slaves (literally an argument of the time), he said, "So if you can find a man whiter than you, he can make you his slave." He also got told that blacks weren't as smart as whites, so he said, "So if you can find a man smarter than you, he can make you his slave." Even if it was true that blacks, on the average, aren't as intelligent or are likelier to be a criminal than a white, this is irrelevant with respect to THIS black person right now in frontt of me. Because I know for an absolute fact that there are blacks who are smarter than me, more honest than me, and more honorable than me. Therefore I need to take every man at what HE is, rather than grouping him into a category. Group politics is destroying our nation. It's poison on both left and right. A black man who shares my ideals is a friend and a brother. A white man who spits on my ideals is my opponent. My church literally teaches that all men are my brothers, and all women my sisters. I cannot shut them out.

We went from "adjusting the block size ever so slightly is unthinkable" to "let's just freeze coins because we don't like what could happen to them" in a decade. That would have been unthinkable in 2017.

Englishman: "That's your dog?" Welshman: "Aye" Englishman: "Mind if I speak to him?' Welshman: "Dog doesn't talk.” Englishman: Hey dog, how's it going?" Dog: "Doing all right." Welshman: (look of shock) Englishman: Is this your owner?" (Pointing at the Welshman) Dog: "Yep." Englishman: How's he treating you?" Dog: "Real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food and takes me to the park once a week to play." Welshman: (Look of total disbelief!) Englishman: "Mind if I talk to your horse?" Welshman: "Horse doesn't talk.” Englishman: "Hey, horse, how's it going?" Horse: "Cool." Welshman: (Extreme look of shock!) Englishman: "Is this your owner?" (Pointing to the Welshman) Horse: "Yep." Englishman: "How's he treating you?" Horse: "Pretty good, thanks for asking. He rides me, brushes me down often and keeps me in a nice stable to protect me from the weather." Welshman: (Look of total amazement!) Englishman: "Mind if I talk to your sheep?" Welshman: "That sheep's a f00king liar!!”
