@sama ahoy fellow pirate

I have so much gratitude to people who wrote extremely complex software character-by-character. It already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took. Thank you for getting us to this point.

@FBIDirectorKash wasn't it the contractor's son that stole it and now got arrested?

Last night, John Daghita – a U.S. government contractor who allegedly stole more than $46 million in cryptocurrency from the U.S Marshals Service – was arrested on the island of Saint Martin by the French Gendarmerie’s premier elite tactical unit in a joint operation with the @FBI.   Thanks to the International Cooperation Team Serious Crime Unit of the French Gendarmerie National in Saint Martin, and the Groupe d’intervention de la Gendarmerie nationale of Guadeloupe for the outstanding coordination.   FBI will continue working 24/7 with our international partners to track down, apprehend, and bring to justice those who attempt to defraud American taxpayers—no matter where they try to hide.

@grok @Shorting_Bull @Babygravy9 lmao

Here's a translation of what the woman appears to be saying in Mandarin (based on audio analysis from similar viral clips): "The status of Chinese women is low; we plant vegetables in fields. America welcomes us to come, have two kids—they'll be US citizens. We'll live in villas, not farms, with high status. Don't marry Chinese men; marry Americans. Use our brains and wombs to improve our next generation's genes." (Note: This is approximate; context suggests it's satirical or exaggerated.)

If you had no chance of beating your main geopolitical rival in a conventional war, I guess you'd have to use unconventional means to beat them instead. Video unrelated.

@Palagov_dot_TV @venturetwins ain't nobody curing cancer with gpt

@venturetwins I hate how such a miraculous technology that could be curing cancer is just being weaponized to keep people hooked to a screen.

At this point I’m convinced these AI renovation videos are our clearest shot at reverse engineering the reward pathways of the human brain

@mattsilv @zachxbt bro lmao

@zachxbt this is terrible, and i'm sorry for them. have you been able to investigate why they were holding LTC?

On January 10, 2026 at around 11 pm UTC a victim lost $282M+ worth of LTC & BTC due to a hardware wallet social engineering scam. The attacker began converting the stolen LTC & BTC to Monero via multiple instant exchanges causing the XMR price to sharply increase. BTC was also bridged to Ethereum, Ripple, & Litecoin via Thorchain. Theft addresses (2.05M LTC, 1459 BTC): bc1qluxw46r55wf3dnk9c652vrt4duadm3hpuktf86 bc1qpsmh26ja0fzzf286zulmt9eywujc2pggj40wzm ltc1qly43c2prj4c2e85dcspzpjd36jnapnenldnr70

@gunsnrosesgirl3 beefsteak

What would you name this red tegu lizard

@kuso_otoko 3 days later and still happening...

So paypal is having an instant transfer issue and it's apparently on its second day yet they haven't said anything about it at all.

@exxera @kakigaijin @PirateSoftware it's unfortunate but game mechanics gets patented all the time already. the patent system is utterly broken.

@kakigaijin @PirateSoftware You don't seem to understand the implications being able to patent game mechanics would have on the gaming industry, imagine if Wolfenstein patended first person game play.

Game Mechanics should never be patented. All it does is bring down both developers and players for the sake of greed. Nintendo isn't protecting Pokemon here they are crushing any possible competition.

the new startup playbook looks NOTHING like the old one: – most of your team will be part-time contractors, creators, and ai agents – your first $1m will come from niching down. your next $10m will come from tastefully scaling out – one agent spins out 50 longtail SEO pages from transcripts, support tickets, or user reviews – startups are turning into QVC. except this time, you own the channel and the product – onboarding will feel like texting a friend. static forms are dead – every landing page rewrites itself based on who's viewing it (claude or chatgpt-4o + session data) – every successful company will feel like a subculture. the product is just a portal in – outbound are agents scraping, qualifying, and writing personalized intros 24/7 – customer support = 1 human backed by 5 lindy agents trained on every support ticket ever written – micro-apps will outperform mega-tools. specific > general – growth isn’t an afterthought. it’s built into the product (agent-invite loops, ai-powered referrals) – if your product doesn't spark curiosity in 2 seconds, it’s invisible – the best products of the next decade will be memes first, software second – “launch” is outdated. leak it instead – the new pricing model: $0 to play, $x to unlock identity – you won’t sell software. you’ll sell outcomes, transformations, identity upgrades – more people will leave big tech to build solo. not out of rebellion, but because their side hustles are more interesting – the best homepages become a scene. your standard shadcn websites won’t hit the same – default alive is low burn, small team, owned audience, high-leverage systems – competitor research happens automatically. agents scrape, cluster, and surface positioning gaps – your CRM isn’t stale. agents log calls, summarize deals, and write follow-ups before you hang up – venture capital is optional – customer success isn’t reactive. agents predict churn based on tone in support chats and usage – we’ll see more “tiny empires”: one founder, one audience, and a constellation of tools they own – bug reports are summarized, tagged, prioritized, and triaged by an agent before eng ever sees them – IRL matters. founders become event planners – most SaaS is overbuilt. the next wave wins by subtracting – if your product can't be explained in a screenshot, it won't spread – the creative director is the new power hire. taste is now a growth lever – churned users get a custom winback campaign built by an agent based on why they left – knowledge base builds itself from slack threads, loom links, and discord q&a (agents + gpt vision) – product feedback loops are instant. users speak → agents summarize, prioritize, and mock ui changes – most startups will die trying to be “all-in-one.” the winners do one weird thing stupidly well – startup advice used to be: find a technical cofounder. now it’s: find a distribution edge – your product isn’t finished when it works. it’s finished when people want to wear the hoodie – the people who win distribution will own demand. the rest will rent it if this felt like a glimpse into the future, it's because it is. instead of bookmarking this, share it with a friend, and start building. you don’t need permission to build like this. you just need to start. most people will ignore this. but this is the new reality... small teams, infinite leverage. Happy building. I'm rooting for you.

@AutismCapital wat we thinkin today

Solana isn't going to happen. An attempt to "reframe the narrative" really means "we need to invent some new bullshit to get liquidity." The scam died when Sam did. Capitulate and move on.

@Vikrant77457289 @RUG_on_HL @DefiIgnas no one lmao

@RUG_on_HL @DefiIgnas Who will provide liquidity on orderbook for new token on listing day?

How crypto companies go bankrupt: Yesterday, I learned that Phaver, a social media app, had closed operations with all socials gone. Token down 99% since TGE in September. I had high hopes for Phaver merging Lens and Farcaster ecosystems, with 35K DAU and 800k downloads. At peak, they had 50% of Lens traffic and 20% of Farcaster's. I asked their team member on what happened and three things stand out: 1. They messed up TGE and airdrop. It led to hours of portal failures, causing FUD as people couldn't claim immediately. 2. They overpaid for CEX listings: Paid more than $1m USD for 5 CEX listings. $SOCIAL still trading on Bybit, KuCoin, Gate etc. 3. Ex-employee said the team decided not to sell any tokens at TGE as FUD was already too high. This was a mistake as they were short on cash for operations. TL;DR – Phaver ran out of funds. As a Finnish company, it also had to pay employees during the 1–2 month notice period. All this despite raising $8m at ~$80M valuation from Polygon Ventures, Nomad Capital etc. A common story in crypto. Still, some ex team members are working on @ai_socialdao to give utility to $SOCIAL

@x6c75 @theo lynx ofc

@theo So Theo, what browser should we use now???

Mozilla just changed the Firefox TOS. If you're a privacy person, might be time to move off.

@DiarioBitcoin @justinsuntron i second this. rn deployments cost absurdly more than even on ETH's mainnet

@justinsuntron scalability, lower tx fees.

We are doing our best to build Tron. What do you think we should focus on? 👀

@justinsuntron you guys REALLY need to get your dev tooling in order. i had to dig for hours to find a hardhat/forge analogue. i literally do not use tronbox because it's so garbage: i just use hardhat up until deployment time, then deploy with custom tronweb scripts

@mysteriumvpn any ETA on resolution?

@MetisHero @SkipShiftDefi workin just fine on mobile

@SkipShiftDefi Update your application. Not working at all 😂

Join us in telegram for a VC tonight, many updates

@badideaai Oh wow yeah, we need that on our App too.

That’s not a Bad idea

@TheGemPad @SkipShiftDefi holy shit
