“He does have a tendency to just say what he wants to happen. But you almost start worrying, like, is he surrounded by so many yes men?” @MelMattison1 on Trump’s grasp of the Iran war and the risks of escalation. Published on April 1st.

“So the most likely scenario is a pretty big loss.” @honestpollster in August on why the gap between Trump's campaign promises and voters' economic expectations was putting his coalition at risk.

Yanis Varoufakis called bitcoin a solution to undiscovered problems. Now DiEM25 says its bank closed its account, cutting off access to donations. Hopefully this prompts some introspection about who actually controls your money. tftc.io/varoufakis-diem25-ba…

To everybody working on Bitcoin Core, Lightning, wallets, applications, or any other part of the Bitcoin stack: thank you. The stress is real. So is the opportunity to separate money from state and give individuals more control over their lives. tftc.io/bitcoin-developers-b…

Every investor in AI stocks is ruined. If the financing never arrives. Think about what the AI buildout is made of: Trillions of dollars of data centers and power plants, paid for with borrowed money, in the same years governments and companies have to roll over more debt than ever. Liquidity is the constraint. History shows capital-heavy booms often finish with overcapacity and squeezed margins. When credit gets scarce, a debt-based system tends to turn to money printing and everything denominated in that money gets diluted along with it. Bitcoin sits outside all of it. It has no issuer and it caps out at 21 million. AI may change the world. But the scarce assets outside the debt system are what investors may want to own when it does. (Send this to the friend who’s all-in on AI stocks)

They’re trying to force Poland to use a failing currency, the euro while shipping their gold to Germany. They need control of the money to gain full control over the populace. This is why everyone needs bitcoin.
Polish MEP Dominik Tarczyński is explaining what is happening right now at Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal, calling it nothing less than a COUP D’ÉTAT! “In Poland, we have a liberal-left government led by Donald Tusk, who is the Prime Minister. What is happening right now with the Constitutional Tribunal is that they want to take it over and fill it with their own people. Why? Because they want to get rid of the Polish currency, bring us into the eurozone, and eliminate our secure borders. They are being pushed by the Germans, who want to spread the burden of illegal migration and send migrants to Poland. First of all, the Polish złoty is our constitutionally protected currency. They have to change the Constitution to replace it, and without the Constitutional Tribunal, they cannot do that. So, number one, they want to get rid of our currency and force us to adopt the euro and join the eurozone. Then they want to take our gold reserves, the largest in the European Union, to Frankfurt, to the European Central Bank, which is a German-based institution. They also want to open our borders. And they want to make sure that when they lose the next elections, which are coming next year, the Constitutional Tribunal will be unable to do anything to stop their actions or reverse what they have done. There are many more reasons, but I want you to understand one thing: they are under German influence. They are globalists, and we are fighting not just for Poland, but for Europe. Be like Poland. Be strong. Our nation is strong, and we are going to win this fight!”

A strong indication for systemic risk contagion in the world of DeFi.
Coinbase loans just got a LOT more expensive overnight. @Coinbase BTC-backed loan interest rates spiked from ~5% to over 13.8% It's settled down slightly to 9.75% this morning. Currently ~2x the cost of the loan as is was yesterday. And here's the part most people still don't understand: Your BTC is used to mint cbBTC out of thin air, which gets pushed onto @Morpho. If Morpho gets hacked or the cbBTC disappears, Coinbase loses none of the collateralized BTC. You do. Coinbase keeps the real BTC. So the borrower gets: • Smart contract risk • Morpho risk • Wrapped BTC risk ...AND now gets to pay 2x to 3x higher interest for that risk. How many people understood THAT when they clicked "Borrow"?

Binance lost $6.36 billion across ten chains last night, the largest theft this industry has ever seen. Its co-CEO now admits an EIP-7702 delegation "did not pass through our normal approval controls." Tether froze funds in 37 minutes. Nobody could freeze the 18,270 BTC. tftc.io/binance-hack-hot-wal…

Woah.
today, we introduce a little mischief to the world. for four years, we’ve been brewing real brain cells on electrodes to understand how they compute. now, we’ve turned those discoveries into a video model anyone can use. from 0.5¢ a second, mischief 1 is at least 5x faster than its base and the cheapest image-to-video model on @fal and @OpenRouter. soon to be on @awscloud marketplace. it’s not a delusion anymore. biocompute is real, commercial and this is just the beginning. happy halloween.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is a post-train of Wan, an open weights model, and is not running on actual neurons. The authors claim they used “insights from the neurons” to make the model cheaper, but many post-trained video models exist with no relation to bio-compute. unite.ai/tbc-mischief-n…

Our CEO always says: If we are successful, our members will be in their 90s playing whiffle ball in the back yard with their grandkids. The key is metabolic health. Reminder that fasting insulin, HsCRP, and DEXA scans are eligible for funding through the end of January. If you have elite metabolic health you can get a 10-20% reduction in monthly contributions! And if you still have some work to do on metabolic health, get the tests anyway so you have a baseline for improvement next year. More details here: joincrowdhealth.com/longevit…
