Code is an output. Nature is healing.

For too long we treated code as input. We glorified it, hand-formatted it, prettified it, obsessed over it.

We built sophisticated GUIs to write it in: IDEs. We syntax-highlit, tree-sat, mini-mapped the code. Keyboard triggers, inline autocompletes, ghost text. “What color scheme is that?”

We stayed up debating the ideal length of APIs and function bodies. Is this API going to look nice enough for another human to read?

We’re now turning our attention to the true inputs. Requirements, specs, feedback, design inspiration. Crucially: production inputs. Our coding agents need to understand how your users are experiencing your application, what errors they’re running into, and turn *that* into code.

We will inevitably glorify code less, as well as coders. The best engineers I’ve worked with always saw code as a means to an end anyway. An output that’s bound to soon be transformed again.

For years I’ve tried to answer one simple question: Why do education outcomes keep getting worse?

We live in the most information-rich era in human history. Content is abundant and free. We have YouTube, MOOCs, AI tutors, bootcamps, TikTok explainers, and entire universities putting lectures online for free. Yet:
- College readiness is falling.
- Employers say graduates can’t write or reason.
- Elite universities are lowering their standards.
- The most successful online education companies are games and “edutainment.”

Something is very wrong. I think the problem is cultural.

We’ve normalized fake learning and made people believe education is supposed to be easy.
- Every year 1.5 million third-graders who don't know how to read still advance to grade 4.
- Top-tier universities admit students who don’t have basic math skills in the name of “equity.”
- Edtech apps measure daily streaks but not actual learning progress.

Every signal in the culture reinforces the same idea: Mastery doesn’t matter. Learning should be as effortless as scrolling.

My take: Mastery matters, and real learning is uncomfortable.

Learning requires a growth mindset, and a willingness to fail. When you fail, you must try again - not move on anyways. There shouldn’t be participation trophies for reading or math. Real learning demands repetition, feedback, correction, and actual practice.

We need a cultural reset around education.

We need to rebuild three norms:
1. Hold firm on our standards. People will rise to the occasion, and once they do, every subsequent learning challenge will be easier. No more graduating or moving on until you’ve demonstrated mastery.

2. Visible, verifiable work beats credentials. If you can show what you built, wrote, produced, shipped, or coded, that should matter more than a diploma. Difficulty becomes desirable when it leads to visible opportunity.

3. Learning is a mindset, not a chore. Improving yourself is a way of life. Feedback is a gift. If you’re not good at something now, that doesn’t mean you can’t learn. And learning from others isn’t giving up, it’s investing in yourself.

If we did this across K-12, higher education, we’d see massive improvements right away. Some states like Mississippi and schools like Alpha School have already done it with incredible results!

I also deeply believe in lifelong learning. There is a 1% of the population who believes in these norms already. They aren’t just hustling, tinkering or vibe coding. They are taking learning more seriously - they ask for help, they talk to their mentors, they attend workshops, they understand the value of sitting down and improving one’s self.

My goal is to help expand that group. More people in the world should actually care about learning, especially after college. Lifelong learning should become the norm. Maybe if enough people do, we’ll start improving outcomes again!

P.S. If you’re part of the 1% who believes that structured learning can help you become excellent at something, come check out what we’re building at https://t.co/8wPXDsnU3S.

Maximum BTC holding by Strategy?

Michael Saylor has not set an explicit upper limit. I believe the strategy is to accumulate indefinitely as a "Bitcoin Treasury Company".

But, in reality, the maximum is constrained by debt capacity and market tolerance for dilution. At some point, risks (such as systemic or insolvency) will become too high, prompting regulatory intervention or shareholder pushback.

Up to 1 million BTC (~5% of supply)?

The limitation is that BitVM is restricted to a two-party prover and verifier setting, which can limit its application where many parties might interact. However, recent advancements like BitVMX and BitcoinOS have demonstrated progress, moving toward better trustless models.

Finally, Turing-completeness on Bitcoin. With BitVM, we can build optimistic rollups on the base layer.

BitVM allows Turing-complete Bitcoin contracts without requiring changes to Bitcoin’s consensus rules. It achieves this by executing computations off-chain and verifying them on-chain, similar to Ethereum’s optimistic rollups.
