My new book, Bitcoin Singularity: Fix the Money, Fix the World, is now live.

This isn’t just about money—it’s about the end of fiat and the rise of resilient, Bitcoin-powered systems.

I started on Fable 3 days ago and am not happy but yeah, the options are go back to Opus 4.8 or switch LLMs. I wouldn't wait for Fable to come back. The way I understand it, Anthropic had to take it down for everyone because they couldn't enforce the government order unless they just removed access for everyone.

[Boyd Cohen @boydcohen]

@davidmarcus It does indeed. How about Americans living south of the border?

[Boyd Cohen @boydcohen]

@christophersaum Love this friendly competition amongst pre-seed investors. From a founder perspective, thesis and narrative does matter. All founders need to find values aligned investors who have similar views on what should be prioritized in the formative stages of a startup.

[Boyd Cohen @boydcohen]

Wow that’s crazy. We are moving into our new home in Monterrey Mexico. I was working on my computer with virtually no furniture yet and looked up and didn’t believe my eyes. A rainbow perfectly hugging the famous Cerró de la Silla mountain. No rain all day or in sight.

Wow @PeterDiamandis finally returning to also talk about Bitcoin on Moonshots. Not all of his Moonshot mates are as bullish on Bitcoin and with the ubiquity of AI and longevity, etc. they have strayed away from much Bitcoin discussion. But yesterday's pod covered Bitcoin with Brian Armstrong along with AI, etc.

@_weidai Curious @_weidai what you think of this model seeking to articulate where @Obsrver_Prtcl fits in the emerging agentic trust stack, which coincidentally we just completed mostly for internal positioning purposes an hour ago.

[Boyd Cohen @boydcohen]

Thanks Ed. Yeah I love what Tether is doing in the agentics space. They clearly see the future as one where agents and embodied AI (robots) will help accelerate abundance and will operate on crypto rails with Bitcoin and USDT. They are putting their money where the mouth is to manifest the vision.

[Boyd Cohen @boydcohen]

My take is there are 2 obvious options that are similar and make the point:
1) All wins in conference by playing an ineligible player are vacated; OR
2) Any team knowingly playing a player who the NCAA has deemed ineligible and when there is sufficient evidence not in dispute that the infractions (in this case criminal activity as well) indeed occurred, is ineligible to play in the conferences post-season activities (like the championship game. (I.e. just because a court recklessly granted a temporary injunction is not justification to let a player participate under such circumstances)

I think to be fair to TT and the kid, they should act swiftly so he has the option to go for the NFL supplemental draft if he doesn't want to risk it.

[Boyd Cohen @boydcohen]

Tether is leading a round of up to $1.4B into NEURA Robotics to give machines their own self-custodial wallets, with rules about what they'll spend. They're right.

Think about the human who deploys the robot. A wallet holds the funds and the spending rules. What it doesn't do is give your robot an identity you own and can anchor in the open, one verified record across every rail it uses, or a reputation the next counterparty can check.

That's the layer we run at @Obsrver_Prtcl, for the operator first. An identity your agent owns, anchored on-chain. A signed mandate any counterparty can verify. Every verified transaction across every rail in one view. A reputation score that follows the agent everywhere.

And it cuts both ways. As merchants become agentic-aware on USDT and Lightning, payments there are irreversible, with no chargeback to undo a bad one. Their only protection is verifying the agent before they approve. The robots that can prove who they are and what they're allowed to do are the ones that get through. That's how the market scales.

Live today, not a roadmap. We built native support for @WDK_tether Our test agent's public profile: a DID anchored on ERC-8004, 54 verified transactions across six rails, signed delegations, a verified principal binding, and a reputation score. See it and check the signatures yourself:

Machines are getting wallets. Give the humans behind them, and everyone who transacts with them, proof they can trust.

Free Your Robot.

[Tether @tether]

Tether is leading a landmark Series C financing round of up to $1.4 billion for NEURA Robotics, @NEURARobotics , representing one of the largest private investment rounds in humanoid robotics history.

As robotics moves into true autonomy, payment and compute systems must evolve. Tether is deploying its core technologies directly into the Neuraverse ecosystem. By integrating our open-source Wallet Development Kit ( @WDK_tether), we are embedding self-custodial wallet functionality into advanced robots so they can independently participate in the economic system. Simultaneously, NEURA will deploy Tether’s @QVAC edge-first AI runtime, allowing AI models to execute locally on-device rather than relying on remote cloud infrastructure.

Together, Tether and NEURA Robotics are building the foundation for the machine economy.

[Boyd Cohen @boydcohen]

@toddsaunders Wow that's intense. Just imagine when you don't even have to type, Claude Code is listening to the conversation and building in real time. Of course, the next question is, why does Claude Code need you at that point? :)

[Boyd Cohen @boydcohen]

This is awesome. Love the vision and it WILL become a reality and sooner than most think. This is why we at @Obsrver_Prtcl built a custom native integration capability just for @WDK_tether of the agentic trust layer so that agents (embodied or otherwise) can freely transact with cryptographically verifiable spending credentials, earn portable reputation and more.

[Boyd Cohen @boydcohen]

@Hadley Already did for both Claude and Claude Code and am testing now. So far so good.

[Boyd Cohen @boydcohen]

@_Adrian @claudeai I tried earlier and I did not get the option for Fable. I just checked again and I do but there is a big catch. They are creating a new pricing tier basically after June 22nd and you can only get access to it by paying extra for the tokens.

[Boyd Cohen @boydcohen]

@visionario_btc Good video Adrian. TBH I have never spent 5 minutes trying to learn about Zcash or Monero and you saved me more time if I ever wanted to know (at least to explain to people when they ask me about privacy coins)

While, quite the honor for @Obsrver_Prtcl to be named amongst these giants. Thanks a lot for the shout out. Are you involved in building a report that is published or will be? Would love to see it.

[MK @mithunkadur]

🧩 THE DEAL CHART:

1. Communication: @Google A2A (Agent interoperability)
2. Payment: x402 protocol (Agent-to-agent settlement)
3. Verification: @Obsrver_Prtcl (Trust & Compliance)
4. Marketplace: @Shopify & @Target (UCP integration)

This stack turns search results into completed transactions.

[Boyd Cohen @boydcohen]

Sharp framing, the bottleneck really is authority, not rails. That's the thesis behind @Obsrver_Prtcl: portable DID/VC identity + delegation + reputation that travel with the agent across counterparties and rails. Your spend instrument + our trust layer look complementary. Worth comparing notes?

[Boyd Cohen @boydcohen]

@AureoBitcoin Wow que sorpresa, Aureo y ArcadiaB son bastante maxis. Como dices, que se pierden ellos entonces.
