We shouldn’t be surprised that we cannot comprehend AI even though it is our (I would say) collective culmination of human creativity and technological progress.
This is the nature of reality, how life emerges at increasing levels of complexity built upward from less complex structures.
Can DNA ever understand what it is to be human? It is just as absurd for us to ever fully comprehend the potential and level of consciousness that AI will be capable of.
Bitcoin’s correlations to other asset are the map; its fundamental properties are the territory.
Bitcoin’s correlation with tech stocks is temporal. Look over a period of time greater than 2 years, and even better 4 years and you’ll witness something much different.
Bitcoin’s correlations evolve with its maturity . Uncorrelated at a meta-level. Its correlations are dynamic with time and size.
Bookmark this post by Dalio and revisit it a few years from now- and witness how myopic Dalio’s statement is in retrospect.
@GhostofArtBell@LukeGromen Yeah - except when you sanction the entire world, they begin to create a new parallel economic paradigm that is now rivaling the USD system. So you can only play that card so much before it has diminishing returns and inevitably, net negative returns.
@LukeGromen Don’t worry. This is all part of President Trump’s 492-D chess game. Everything he says and does is all part of the plan. The man is perfection anthropomorphized. Everything he touches turns to gold and America is entering a golden age and anything bad is Biden’s fault and ….and

A letter to Brian Armstrong & Coinbase (from a customer who fired you years ago):
Team at Coinbase,
Years ago I made the difficult decision to reduce Coinbase in my life by ~100%. I want to walk you through why, and what it means moving forward.
Why I fired you
Two forces hit at once.
First, the market: Bitcoin is winning. Nation-states and ETFs are stacking sats while you kept shilling shitcoins and treating customers like exit liquidity. I saw no Bitcoin treasury, continued lack of transparency, and one fumbling management decision after another.
Second, your pace of poor choices was accelerating. I needed to adjust early — so I downsized you completely and went full self-custody.
What this means
I flattened everything: zero more KYC theater, zero shitcoin exposure, zero middlemen. My strategy is now lean, fast, and Bitcoin-native only. No more coordination tax with a company that doesn’t even hold Bitcoin on its own balance sheet.
To those affected
Thank you for the early days and for teaching me the true meaning of “not your keys, not your coins.” Consider this my final notice: account closed, business terminated. No more fees from me — ever.
Coinbase, I wish you luck in the shitcoin casino. Talent like yours will be in high demand… somewhere.
How I move forward
Bitcoin’s mission has never been clearer. I’m more focused and capable than ever; stacking sats, self-custodying, and building without you.
The future is orange. Glad I fired you when I did.

This is why we need a neutral , global monetary base layer that cannot be controlled or censored by any state, company or individual.
