“It is about embracing, with all the unflinching courage we can muster, reality as it is – in all of it’s beauty and its wonder, as much as its ugliness and terror – and being able to say “yes” to all of it.”

hyperliquid processed 100% of global weekend oil perpetual volume during the iran conflict. $807m in crude trading while CME was closed. bloomberg used it for risk assessment pricing. 31.6% of platform volume now comes from tradfi perpetuals vs 5% in january. the infrastructure migration isn't coming. it's happening on weekends when legacy venues are dark.

@SatsScholar The future is co-bot (for now), but, yeah, all your jobs are belong to us.

CHEAT SHEET TO BUY THE $BTC BOTTOM

One last capitulation to $45,000.

This chart has never failed and signals a bottom in 14 days.

Ignore it if you want, but don’t pretend you weren’t warned.

@Innerdevcrypto Just finished it. Definitely helpful reframing of stoic concepts (and beyond), but her handling of interpersonal relationships (or at least what she implies) seems more to her own personality vs the universality of her other core tenets. Great book, regardless.

Venice had a network of spies and diplomats in every court of Europe. Upon their return, they were required to deliver reports to the Venetian Senate. These reports were so invaluable for understanding the state of the world that they were often smuggled out and sold to rich clients for a high price.

Many survive to this day, and they have been compiled into historical volumes that make for extremely interesting reading, and are some of the most important sources for the history of the 1500s and 1600s. But most have never been translated into English.

AI is finally getting good enough to translate old documents like this (not as good as an expert, but good enough when nothing else is available), so I wrote a short program to translate the Venetian reports. The results are surprisingly good. With some light editing and the addition of footnotes, they make for really compelling reading.

So I'm making a Substack and putting the earliest surviving report on the Ottoman Empire (from 1534) up as the first post. I'll keep any AI-translated stuff completely free, as it would feel wrong to paywall that, but if you'd like to support me by subscribing, I'll be posting some of my own historical/political/cultural thoughts behind the paywall eventually.

Anyway check it out, I think you'll really enjoy reading these reports. The first one covers (among other things) the scheming of Grand Vizier Ibrahim, and the Venetian diplomat's correspondence with the famous corsair Barbarossa:

for anyone interested in $BTC, blockchains, #patents, etc., I asked Grok to look at the recent lawsuit filed by Malikie against MARA (bitcoin miner) for infringement based on some elliptical signature patents

first one I've seen against .. core Bitcoin, which I mean in the general sense, not a "code" sense

@SatsScholar couldn’t handle the pressure?

We still have 3.14 trillion in Crypto. That's still more in marketcap than we had five months ago in June. A lot was added in a very short period and a lot taken back in a short period. An over leveraged market returning to a base level.

@SatsScholar That said, I 100% agree with the video. The right to repair should override all/most IP rights and companies that brick devices should automatically waive any rights that prevent repair. It’s not a patent issue as patent rights are “exhausted“ once a device is sold.
