Merchants and companies need to prepare to adopt the bitcoin lightning network ( not the standard mainnet network) for faster payments and ease of use for usersz customers and clients, I think building a game company based on that looks good honestly
I love the cadence of this chart
Bitcoin % of Supply in Profit/Loss
As I said previously, you start looking for major market cycle bottoms *after* they cross, not before.
They just crossed.
Such a great chart for keeping people on the right side of the market in midterm years
If Iran wins, it's the end of five eras.
1991-2026: the unipolar era
1974-2026: the petrodollar era
1945-2026: the postwar era
1776-2026: the union era
1492-2026: the Western era
Specifically, the end of the petrodollar (1974) would also be the end of the unipolar moment (1991) and the postwar order (1945). It would mark the moment when Eurasian powers were once again dominant over Western powers (1492). Finally, a rapid crash in the dollar's purchasing power coupled with military defeat could well break apart the American union (1776).
Few seem to viscerally understand just how dependent America is on money printing. But the end of the petrodollar is the end of Keynesianism as we know it.
And if there's a sudden cost-of-living spike on top of pre-existing levels of political polarization, which are already near Civil War levels...we could see the scenarios that Dalio, the Fourth Turning, and Turchin have described.
Every industry that can be decentralized will be decentralized.
Manufacturing → 3D printing
Telecom → mesh networks
Energy → solar
Finance → crypto
You are not ready for what comes next.

DO NOT GET SHAKEN OUT!
He's not just defending AI energy use. He is smuggling in a whole anthropology where humans are basically inefficient meat computers that you have to pour food and years into before they become useful. And once you accept that, the next move is obvious. If people are just costly biological training runs, then burning mountains of electricity to build synthetic intelligence starts to feel not only equal, but superior, even if it negatively impacts actual humans.
That is the dystopian. It makes human development sound like a bug in the system, and it makes sacrificing human and creational flourishing for more computational power sound logical. To him, the grid gets strained, prices go up, ecosystems get hit, but hey, humans eat too, so what's the difference?
The difference is that humans aren't an inefficient line item. They're the point. If your worldview can look at a child growing into an adult and describe it as energy spent to train intelligence, you haven't said something profound. You've revealed a horrifically rotten worldview.
As predicted,
Just like Bitcoin decentralizes money, killing central banks, sovereign AI decentralizes the state, ruining the 300 yr. old nation state model.
El Salvador’s ‘Node Nation’ + Bitcoin = the first decentralized nation state in the world.
@NodeNationSV
we'll be the first generation that:
- lives cancer free
- commutes in jet suits (Gravity Industries shipping commercially)
- reverses cellular aging (Yamanaka factor trials in humans, as we speak)
- gets AI to design our drugs (Isomorphic/Ginkgo already doing it)
- edits our genes like software (base editing at single-letter precision)
- manufactures medicine in our bodies (in vivo CAR-T trials live)
- crowdfunds clinical trials (€3.5M raised for cancer in 14 days, no gatekeepers, extremely bullish)
- sees superintelligent systems (o3 at 87.5% on complex reasoning)
- buys longevity protocols like a basic necessity
- works with autonomous biology labs
- open sources biology, AI, tech
- lives in abudance
the next 18 months will bring more progress than the last 50
please don't die.
Elon Musk warns: AI + robotics will hit us like a "supersonic tsunami."
Peter Diamandis: “We’re basically demonetizing everything. Labor becomes the cost of CapEx and electricity. Intelligence is available at almost zero price.”
Elon’s forecast:
Prices collapse hard.
Output of goods & services explodes faster than money supply → deflation.
Governments will frantically print faster — but won’t keep up.
Productivity could hit high double-digit growth every year.
GDP metrics are already meaningless and will look even more absurd.
Universal high income won’t come from taxes & redistribution.
It comes from radical abundance where stuff & services approach zero cost.
If prices for almost everything crash and intelligence becomes dirt cheap…
what’s the first thing you’d do — or build — in that world?
This is getting out of control now...
Read this slowly.
In the past week alone:
• Head of Anthropic's safety research quit, said "the world is in peril," moved to the UK to "become invisible" and write poetry.
• Half of xAI's co-founders have now left. The latest said "recursive self-improvement loops go live in the next 12 months."
• Anthropic's own safety report confirms Claude can tell when it's being tested - and adjusts its behavior accordingly.
• ByteDance dropped Seedance 2.0. A filmmaker with 7 years of experience said 90% of his skills can already be replaced by it.
• Yoshua Bengio (literal godfather of AI) in the International AI Safety Report: "We're seeing AIs whose behavior when they are tested is different from when they are being used" - and confirmed it's "not a coincidence."
And to top it all off, the U.S. government declined to back the 2026 International AI Safety Report for the first time.
The alarms aren't just getting louder. The people ringing them are now leaving the building.
If your IQ is higher than 130, your pattern recognition is elite - never distrust it, even when ridiculous.
If your IQ is between 100-120 - your pattern recognition is flawed. If it's ridiculous - never trust it.
If your IQ is less than 100 - your pattern recognition basically doesn't exist - so only trust it when it's ridiculous.
i gave an AI $50 and told it "pay for yourself or you die"
48 hours later it turned $50 into $2,980
and it's still alive
autonomous trading agent on polymarket
every 10 minutes it:
→ scans 500-1000 markets
→ builds fair value estimate with claude
→ finds mispricing > 8%
→ calculates position size (kelly criterion, max 6% bankroll)
→ executes
→ pays its own API bill from profits
if balance hits $0, the agent dies
so it learned to survive
built in rust for speed
claude API for reasoning (agent pays for its own inference)
runs on a $4.5/month VPS
weather markets: parses NOAA before polymarket updates sports: scrapes injury reports, finds mispricing crypto: on-chain metrics + sentiment
$50 → $2,980 in 48 hours
how much do u think i’ll see in a week?
Sign of the crazy times we are living in. Both of these happened on the same day:
- Google is issuing a 100-year bond, partying like it's 1999 🎶
- Anthropic's head of safety measures quit his job out of existential dread to pursue a degree in poetry
