I cannot wait to hear @dhruvbansal expand on these ideas at @imagineif_bna next week 🔥

[Tangents @tangents_d]

Stacked Tangents lined up today streaming at 1 PM CT:

- @SahilC0 on design that works
- @miketwenty1 on developers in the age of AI + TABConf
- @AnyaChekhovich on education for sovereignty
- @OKIN_17 on hacking for freedom

Let's see where the conversation takes us 🤝

[Imagine IF @imagineif_bna]

Technology can and should make life cheaper for everyone.

That’s the promise at the heart of @JeffBooth's The Price of Tomorrow: technology drives costs down.

[Tangents @tangents_d]

Recapping this week's Tangents with @bitkite:

-@SGBarbour: off-grid power & Bitcoin mining
-@erskingardner: private messaging with White Noise
-@RyanTheGentry: Bitcoin businesses going public & AI micropayments

Building takes patience, focus, and a willingness to keep solving difficult problems.

Nothing great happens in a straight line.

Great Austin Bitcoin Club (ABC) meetup tonight watching the Hummingbird documentary and learning the story of the @BitcoinJungleCR!

Well done @thepaulosophy + team and thanks to everyone who showed out 🙏 👏.

Embodying what it means to have a low time preference.

[Imagine IF @imagineif_bna]

When you send money on Venmo, you have no idea which bank your friend uses. You don't care. That abstraction is the product.

Bitcoin, almost ironically, doesn't have that yet, and @parkeralewis of @ZapriteApp argues that this problem sits upstream of everything else in bitcoin commerce.

[Imagine IF @imagineif_bna]

.@_Adam_Sullivan1 believes the world is completely underestimating how much compute we will need. 🧵/

[Imagine IF @imagineif_bna]

Imagine IF capital flowed toward the future, not the past.

@CathieDWood built @ARKInvest on this premise.

[Bitcoin Park @bitcoinpark_]

AI may be the first machine that can betray you.

A computer has never given you legal advice, medical advice, or financial advice with a conflict of interest possibly buried inside it. 🧵/

[BTCPay Server @BtcpayServer]

There is a critical vulnerability being actively exploited on BTCPay Server, which can result in the loss of funds.

Please update your BTCPayServer to 2.4.2 by going to Admin Dashboard -> Server -> Maintenance -> Update & verify the 2.4.2 version string in the footer.

If you are unable to update right away, turn off your BTCPay Server to prevent unauthorized access until you can update.

One ask: sound 🆙

[Imagine IF @imagineif_bna]

Imagine IF school only took two hours.

The data is proving this model works. 🧵/

[Bitcoin Park @bitcoinpark_]

When the industrial revolution led to mass migration of people into cities, fire codes had to follow.

Fire escapes, bedroom windows, etc. were all standards written together to minimize risk and ensure safety.

That's analogous to what this panel is building for bitcoin custody. 🧵/
