BREAKING: ADM Paparo, 4-star Admiral and Commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, just testified before the Senate that “Bitcoin shows incredible potential” as a tool for U.S. national security. Watch the full exchange:

It doesn’t feel that way at all. Even when you know it, your eyes still read them as tilted or shifting slightly from column to column.
One of the tragic effects of inflation is that it forces people to sell assets that would protect them, because they need money now to buy essentials. And this selling often happens at the exact wrong time...when they should be buying protection, not selling it. Many poignant examples in the historical records.
We are. 4 year cycle does not make any sense any more. Still, fear is driving retail and OG sell pressure. Institutions maintain buy pressure. Who is right? Dumb money against flood of capital looking for the safe harbor. Everything screams go go, prophecy is to be broken.
They said it was too early, too risky, too uncertain. So we built anyway. The Bitcoin House was built to give Sri Lankans real Bitcoin knowledge, safe access, and a physical place to learn, question, touch the tech, and build community. Built by us for us. YOU CAN JUST DO THINGS
@sminston_with@decodejar Honestly if this 4 year cycle bullshit narrative is enough to make it actually happen, despite all the macro and unbroken core principles. I have no hope for the pleb left. First week of April is going to show us the way
They did deplatform me this week for no reason as well. I regret every penny that I showed them down the throat that would do much better stored in BTC. Fuck you legacy social media, cut them down
As Bitcoin matures and the value stored on the network grows into the trillions, it becomes increasingly important to follow a conservative development path that can eventually lead to ossification.
Having multiple well-maintained Bitcoin clients with significant adoption will bring greater balance to the ecosystem, ensuring that no single implementation can dictate the direction of development.
Bitcoin halvings are officially obsolete. @strategy by itself is now absorbing the complete mined supply of Bitcoin since Q4 2024. This is one entity and does not include $IBIT or other Spot ₿ ETFs or Treasury companies. Oh, @saylor ability to buy Bitcoin goes up as the price of ₿ goes up. $MSTR $STRC

Amazon just confirmed 16,000 layoffs but sources inside are telling me the real story is so much worse
Word from three different VPs: the 16K number is just "Phase One" - internal docs show another 14,000 cuts planned for Q2
A director in AWS walked me through their new "efficiency matrix" - entire teams being replaced by 2-3 senior engineers running Claude Sonnet workflows
The Alexa division got completely hollowed out. 847 engineers two months ago. 23 remaining after this week. All hardware development moved to a Bangalore team of 31 contractors with Cursor access
Here's the sick part: they're making the outgoing engineers document their entire decision-making process into "knowledge transfer sessions" that are being recorded and fed directly into training datasets
One L7 told me he spent his final two weeks creating detailed prompt libraries and workflow documentation. Thought he was being helpful for the transition
Turns out he was literally training the AI agent that replaced his entire org
The contractors offshore are using his exact prompts and shipping features 40% faster than his old team of 12 Americans ever did
Internal Slack shows leadership celebrating "operational excellence" while badges get deactivated in real-time
They're calling it "right-sizing for the AI era" in the all-hands
But the P&L sheets I'm seeing show $280M in salary savings this quarter alone
The knowledge extraction is complete
If you're still at Amazon and haven't started job hunting, you're already dead
Rodice se uci anglicky, manzelka cesky. Duolingo pozuivaj roky, ktery je sice hezky gamifikovany, ale jeste jsem nevidel nikoho, kdo by se s tim cizi jazyk naucil. Je to optimalizovany na retenci a engagement, ne na vysledky uceni. Bohuzel.
Me vzdycky pomohlo naucit se nejpouzivanejsich 2000 slov. Tak jsem minulej vikend navajbkódil appku. Je tam anglictina pro rodice, cestina pro zenu a spanelstina pro me.
Bylo to sice mysleno na takovyto domaci zvykani v rodinnem kruhu, ale kdyz uz ta appka existuje, pouzivat ji muze kazdej. Klidne ji zkus taky!
