Really sketchy how @Nakamoto killed their proprietary dashboard on their website that told you the "BTC per share" and "BTC yield" KPIs because they felt like their operations were growing too complex to disclose
In the age of AI, sounds like a skill issue @DzambhalaHODL
THE REAL STORY of the Silvergate Bank “collapse” is finally starting to come out, due to the SEC lifting its “no-deny”/“no criticism” restriction on SEC settlements this week. @jaredkate, Silvergate’s then-COO, has started to talk👇 & more of Silvergate’s side of the story will come out, no doubt. As @nic_carter has reported, Silvergate didn’t actually collapse; rather, it was purposefully demolished as part of #OperationChokePoint2.0 — and it stands pretty much alone in banking history as a bank that paid out depositors amid a bank run without sticking the FDIC’s deposit insurance fund with losses. I’d already learned what happened from a different insider who was at the table back then: the insider witnessed the Fed ordering Silvergate to de facto liquidate by ceasing to service the crypto industry, the “voluntary” announcement of which started the bank run. The insider named names, and a senior Fed official later asked for that list of names (note: many of the people have since left the Fed or no longer in senior positions there). I can’t wait for the interviews of Silvergate executives who previously couldn’t talk but can now. I hope @MaxfieldOnBanks runs with this — he did a big analysis of the Silvergate story a few years ago and figured out that the mainstream narrative wasn’t correct. I look forward to hearing more from the execs, who successfully liquidated a bank under extreme bank run pressures. Are you ready to hear what they have to say???
Italians pay some of the highest taxes in Europe.
Panama has the solution most of them have never heard of.
A 1966 bilateral treaty gives qualifying Italians direct permanent residency. No $200K investment. No two-year provisional period. Permanent on first approval.
What you do need: proof of economic activity in Panama and sufficient solvency. Panama Migration sets no fixed deposit amount. Our lawyers recommend $5,000 as a working standard to make your file look better with both migracion and the banks.
You also get Panama's territorial tax system, banking access, and a clear five-year path to citizenship.
The most underused option for Italians looking for an exit.
More detail below.
Any Italians here already using the treaty route? How's it going?

Butterfly Labs Ramps Up Shipping

I was born and bred in Rome: if you take a bus in tourist areas, it’s unlikely you’ll find many Italians.
Most of us get a scooter at 14 and ride around the city on two wheels, trying to avoid public transportation.
If you focus on tourist spots (e.g. the Colosseum), you will see the best and the worst at once (overtourism, not so safe, etc.).
Try going to Centro Storico, Trastevere or beautiful residential areas like Coppedè. Rione Monti is also very nice.
Consider visiting Villa Giulia and then walking to the Spanish Steps, from there 👌
Plenty of restaurants will give you a genuine, less touristy experience: Da Felice al Testaccio, for example (not that touristy)
Also, not sure how long you plan to stay or your goals, but I’d skip commuting to coworking spaces (unless there’s a strategic reason) and work from home to optimize for visiting the city.
A cryptographer found a hidden fingerprint in Bitcoin’s earliest blocks that proves ONE person mined 1.1 MILLION BTC and never spent a single coin
That stash is worth over $115 BILLION today
In 2013 a researcher named Sergio Demian Lerner was studying the very first blocks ever mined on Bitcoin. He noticed something nobody else had spotted in 4 years
Every Bitcoin block contains a small data field called the ExtraNonce. It’s a number that gets incremented every time a miner generates a block. Different miners produce different ExtraNonce sequences
Lerner mapped the ExtraNonce values from the first 50,000 blocks and discovered something incredible
When you plot them on a graph they form slopes. Each slope represents a single miner
There were dozens of slopes. But ONE dominated everything
A single slope appeared across approximately 22,000 of the first 36,000 blocks ever mined. Perfectly consistent timing, identical software behavior, no overlap with itself, and a self imposed limit
Lerner named this miner “Patoshi”
The math became obvious. Patoshi mined approximately 1.1 MILLION Bitcoin during 2009 and the first half of 2010
That’s 5.7% of every Bitcoin that will ever exist. Mined by one person before almost anyone else knew what Bitcoin was
Satoshi’s mining code incremented the ExtraNonce field differently than any other miner’s which was an unintentional fingerprint built into the original Bitcoin client itself
Through cross referencing with known transactions between Satoshi and early developers like Hal Finney, the cryptography community concluded the Patoshi miner was almost certainly Satoshi Nakamoto
The wildest part is what Patoshi DIDN’T do
He could have mined far more. The Bitcoin network in 2009 had so few participants that Satoshi’s hardware was effectively the entire network. He could have captured close to 100% of all blocks for months
Instead the pattern shows Patoshi deliberately throttled his hash rate to roughly 50% of his actual capability. He was leaving room for other miners to win blocks
Patoshi also stopped mining at the same time every day. The on/off pattern looks more like one person running a computer in their study than an industrial operation
Around April 2010 the Patoshi pattern stops appearing entirely. Satoshi never mined another block
Over a year later in April 2011 he sent his last public message and disappeared forever
The 1.1 MILLION BTC is still sitting in approximately 20,000 separate addresses across the chain
It has not moved in 16 YEARS
The single largest dormant fortune in human history measured by current value. Worth more than the GDP of most countries and owned by an identity nobody has ever confirmed
The Patoshi pattern is the closest thing we have to evidence that Bitcoin was created by an individual rather than a state actor or organization
The mining patterns show one person, one timezone, one consistent personality taking breaks like a normal human
If they ever sell, the entire crypto market would have to absorb the largest single liquidation in financial history
If they never sell, those 1.1 MILLION BTC are effectively burned forever making Bitcoin’s true circulating supply much smaller than people think
Both outcomes are world changing. The decision rests with one person who hasn’t been seen since 2011
The person it points to is gone

🚨 BREAKING: Google just quietly ended open Android as we know it.
Starting September 2026, every Android app developer must register their real identity with Google, sign a contract, pay a fee, and submit government ID.
No registration. No app.
This covers Play Store apps, third-party stores, and sideloaded APKs. There is no workaround.
The rollout starts in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand before expanding globally in 2027.
Google calls it Android Developer Verification. The stated reason is malware. Sideloaded apps are reportedly 50x more likely to carry malicious software than Play Store apps.
What developers have to do:
→ Register in Google’s verification system
→ Submit legal name, address, phone number, and government ID
→ Pay a one-time $25 fee
Apps from unverified developers get blocked entirely or buried under warnings severe enough to kill installs.
Android built its dominance on openness. That era is ending. The walled garden just got a fence.
