I'm planning a career pivot and starting to look for opportunities in the blockchain and web3 space. I'm currently pursuing a master’s degree in Global Business with Blockchain Technology, and I’ll be graduating in May 2026. That said, I’m open to earlier opportunities if the right fit comes up. For the past 5 years, I’ve worked as a university soccer coach, helping three programs reach the national tournament, including a semifinal appearance. While I’m grateful for that chapter, I’ve realized my long-term passion lies in blockchain. Over the last few years, I’ve spent my free time learning and staying active in the crypto/web3 space. Through my master’s program, I’ve taken courses in: Blockchain development Cryptography Data mining Legal and regulatory frameworks Smart contracts Database systems At this point, I have an entry-level foundation across these areas and am continuing to build on it. I’m used to long, demanding work days and high-pressure environments, and I’m motivated to contribute wherever I can bring value. If you’re hiring, building something, or know of someone I should talk to, feel free to reach out. I’d appreciate any connections or advice. Thanks for reading. I’m looking forward to what comes next.

We started Solo Satoshi to make mining more accessible in hopes to decentralize Bitcoin mining. We still have a long road ahead, but we are still determined to work as hard as possible.

"Cypherpunks don't care if you don't like the software they write. Cypherpunks know that software can't be destroyed. Cypherpunks know that a widely dispersed system can't be shut down. Cypherpunks will make the networks safe for privacy." - Eric Hughes

Decentralization isn't a scam. Solo mining strengthens the network by distributing hashrate away from pool concentration. Not every miner needs to be chasing ROI, some of us run nodes and miners because we believe in what Bitcoin was built to be. Education, sovereignty, and network security have value that doesn't show up on a spreadsheet.

GM! Bear market = building season. 1/ Prediction markets are exploding globally. But one region is still massively underserved: Asia. That is about to change 🧵

🚨TLDW: PewDiePie put out a new video saying algos control your life and have infected your mind (he's right). He suggests 6 things: 1) Intent when you use the Internet 2) A separate profile/phone for social apps to create fiction 3) Self-hosting 4) Disable shorts 5) Don't follow anyone (AC is ahead of the curve) 6) DNS Blockers Don't let your mind be hijacked. Build protections for your sanity. Don't get algobrain.

THEY DID IT. The SEC and CFTC just dropped a landmark document that officially classifies crypto assets. They're actually telling us which crypto assets are securities and which ones aren't - by name! THIS IS SOMETHING GENSLER REFUSED TO DO (he focused on prosecuting crypto out of existence) This rule doc gives crypto many of the benefits of the clarity bill - it lifts us out of the gray market - it gives every asset a path. It's almost like the Clarity act just passed by way of regulator. (of course, the actual clarity act will harden all this into legislation and make it irreversible in the event we get another Gensler, we still want it) This rule says there's 5 categories for crypto assets: 1) Digital Commodities - assets tied to a functional, decentralized crypto system (e.g., BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, DOGE). Not securities. (yes, they name them on page 14) 2) Digital Collectibles - NFTs, meme coins, artwork tokens, in-game items. Not securities (fractionalized collectibles may be an exception). 3) Digital Tools - membership tokens, credentials, domain names (e.g., ENS). Not securities. 4) Stablecoins - payment stablecoins under the GENIUS Act are not securities. Other stablecoins, it depends. 5) Digital Securities - tokenized versions of traditional securities. Like tokenized stocks. Always securities. Amazing! This makes so much sense I can't believe it's coming from a regulator. No more enforcement threats to Ethereum developers and crypto exchanges. How about the Howey test? More common sense! If an issuer makes specific promises of managerial efforts from which buyers expect profits, the offering is a security until those promises are fulfilled. Then it's a commodity. The asset itself was never the security, the deal around it was. (E.g. XRP was a security pre launch, became a commodity after). How about stuff like staking and mining? Mining? Not a securities transaction. Staking? Also not a securities transaction, that includes custodial and liquid staking even with LSTs! How about wrapping BTC? Not a securities transaction. Airdrops? NOT SECURITIES. NO MORE GEO BANS PROTECTING AMERICANS from free airdrops. Remember this is a joint doc from the SEC and CFTC, They're actually cooperating on this, no internal strife, this is binding to both. SEC regulates $80-100 trillion assets CFTC regulates $5-10 trillion assets Both of the world's largest capital markets are showing us that crypto assets are here to stay and they're welcome alongside traditional assets. Every country will follow. This is the biggest move toward legitimacy I've seen in all my time in crypto. Maybe bigger than the genius act since is covers all crypto assets. Well done @MichaelSelig and @SECPaulSAtkins. And especially well done to the indefatigable @HesterPeirce. Her fingerprints are all over this, couldn't have happened without her eight years of principles-based curiosity.

The future lies in the darknet, as the clearnet is already being fully monitored. It has a reason that the darknet is always described as dystopian criminal hell hole by the mass media; and while this part obviously exists, there are lots of useful resources and legit use cases. If you are new to Tor & the darknet, here a quick list with things to keep in mind: 1. Download Tor Browser ONLY from torproject[.]org + verify signature 2. Never log into Gmail/Facebook/Discord/etc. while on Tor 3. Don’t resize or maximize the window (fingerprinting) 4. No extensions, no plugins, ever 5. Keep JavaScript on “Safer” unless the site is ultra-sketchy, then “Safest” 6. Use Tails OS or Whonix VM if you’re doing anything 'serious' 7. Never download & open files outside Tor Browser 8. Treat every .onion link like it wants to steal your soul (use Dark[.]fail, tor[.]taxi, or Ahmia, a .onion search engine) 9. No real names, photos, or info; ever! 10. Monero > Bitcoin. New address every time. 11. New Identity button is your friend after every sensitive action 12. If it asks for phone verification, it’s a scam or the cops. Happy browsing - and stay safe! P.S.: No, TOR is not (!) 100% anonymous, nothing ever really is, but it is the best option we have.

JACK MALLERS: “I don’t need the government to say we’re going back onto a gold standard, all I do is take out my phone and say I’m done with this sh*t. #Bitcoin is opt-out technology, all it takes is yourself.”

"I calculated that civilization needs just 50 machines to build everything from scratch. And what people can't believe, is that I posted the full plans, designs, instructions and how anyone can build these machines for themselves."

By 2030, these technologies define the world: privacy encryption decentralization self-sovereign identity digital ownership peer-to-peer networks local-first open source censorship resistance personal AI protocols, not platforms sovereignty over convenience. Not Big AI, mass surveillance, or digital feudalism.

Buckminster Fuller in 1967: "Wealth isn't gold; it's energy. By 2000, there will be a scientific accounting system for wealth—aligned with the laws of physics." A visionary nod to Bitcoin decades before its time.

Ten months ago today, Steak n Shake launched its burger-to-Bitcoin transformation. Bitcoin payments are faster and saves us money! We have reinvested savings into product quality. Our Strategic Bitcoin Reserve also funds Bitcoin bonus pay for our employees. Our same-store sales have risen dramatically ever since we launched Bitcoin payments. Thank you Bitcoiners! 🧡

BIP-110 is being sold as a "cleanup" for Bitcoin. But strip away the spam narrative and what you're left with is a proposal that quietly closes the door on Bitcoin's future upgrades. A thread. 🧵 @adam3us @lopp @peterktodd

OpenRouter just did something wild. They flagged ⚠️ Chutes $TAO's SN64 the ONLY provider in their entire stack that CANNOT SEE YOUR DATA with a warning: may use your prompts to train models.... That’s the opposite of reality. It’s exposing the system itself. • OpenRouter sees every prompt in plaintext. • Chutes uses TEE + end-to-end encryption, even they literally cannot read it. This week Chutes shipped: • Harvard collaboration on prefix caching • Smart Model Routing with automatic failover • Open-source e2ee-proxy This is the real deal: proof-based privacy at scale, not another trust-based promise. #Chutes #SN64 Still early… but this level of irony is getting really loud

Let me get this straight… OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. “To benefit humanity.” Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he’s on stage saying you’ll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he’s going to bill you to use it… Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they’re not even hiding it anymore…

Parasite Pool is currently pumping over 1000 PH/S!!!

Bittensor explained by @const_reborn at the National University of Singapore Its under an hour.. and its a clear explanation of what’s being built here youtube.com/watch?v=XRhTE9… If you want to understand the scale and ambition behind #Bittensor.. its well worth your time ☝️ $TAO
