I remember when getting a consensual blowjob was enough to warrant an impeachment. Now Presidents can pay out $5M+ to the victims they raped and no one fucking bats an eye

[Covie @covie_93]

The President of the United States paid $5.6 million to one of his rape victims today.

These models will be commodities, cheap if not free services. 90% solution at 10% the cost will be fine for vast majority of users. Sure there will be a high-end segment. But watch the narrative shift to physical AI and robotics because the current one is not supported by fiscal reality.

$BTC

So far so good. We are following the script into the 14th.

If this continues to play out, it would suggest that BTC forms a pivot high between Monday and Wednesday next week, heading into the 14th, before seeing a 3–5% pullback.

You already know the drill, 11 out of 12 times, we've seen a bearish reaction afterwards. Keep a close eye on the narrative as we approach that date.

If we form a strong bullish narrative, it reinforces the thesis.

OP_RETURN blockspace usage hasn’t increased much since Bitcoin Core v30 was released. oversized OP_RETURNs may be up slightly but still they consume less than 0.1% of blockspace

BIP-110 is an extremely disruptive & dangerous response given the tiny impact from these prunable txs

[Killa @KillaXBT]

The next correction on S&P should mark the true $BTC bottom according to history.

Lets see if we repeat, 2015, 2018 & 2022.

Absolutely INSANE rollecoaster on the Ronaldo Cry market !

> Portugal loses
> Ronaldo walks out of the field with a poker face
*odds drop from 80% to 13%*

> camera pans to him again, he's crying
*odds skyrocket to a peak of 96%*

> traders realize you can't see tears in the clip, which could make it a NO by the rules
*odd drop to 34%*

--> You are here.

There is now an ongoing search for Christiano's tear.

Traders a scrutinizing every angle of every camera to find the evidence that might resolve this market

[Farside Investors @FarsideUK]

Bitcoin Knots v29.3, the latest version of Bitcoin Knots that activates BIP-110, freezes funds in its own wallet, by enforcing BIP-110 rules!

As the screenshot below shows, Knots informs the user that this address belongs to them & that the wallet can spend from it: Solvable=true. However, the only way to spend violates BIP-110 rules. This is highly misleading, may result in the loss of funds & its negligent of the Knots developers to release this software

[David Bailey🇵🇷 $2.0mm/btc is the floor @DavidFBailey]

It’s incredibly bullish for Bitcoin that the hostile takeover attempt known as BIP-110 failed.

This attack was a multi-year campaign of information warfare led by Bitcoin’s most eccentric developer. It involved launching a mining pool, a competing Bitcoin client, a coercive UASF, an unprecedented 55% activation threshold, a network-level Sybil attack to manufacture the appearance of node consensus, anonymous sock puppet accounts, brigading official Core communication channels like the mailing list and GitHub, vicious and libelous attacks on industry figures, selectively edited videos used for character assassination, cancel culture, fabricated Epstein/Rothschild conspiracies, boycotts, legal threats, CP allegations, and an especially disgusting targeted campaign against Core developers that resulted in at least one Core developer resigning and several others stepping back.

Even with such an intense coup effort, the attackers have yet to gather even 1% of the hashrate.

While BIP148 proved that miners cannot diverge from social consensus, BIP-110 proves that economic weight shapes social consensus and that Bitcoin governance isn’t determined by “plebs,” but by an agglomeration of all users: individuals, miners, industry, developers, and everyone else with a stake in the network.

While it’s comforting to know that consensus is not easily manufactured, the attack also revealed that Bitcoin Core’s coordination layer is very vulnerable and in need of better solutions than Twitter. This was the first attack on Bitcoin that was also widely powered by AI slop, and to be honest, it’s extremely difficult to combat. It creates confirmation bias, hallucinates away essential nuance, and a single low-effort prompt can consume 100x more effort and time to refute. I don’t know how we address that long term.

Beyond demonstrating Bitcoin’s resilience, the BIP-110 attack was also a massive drain on the community’s time, energy, attention, and cohesion. I’d wager that more than a million human hours have been wasted on this.

Once BIP-110 forks off, that resource drain ends. The 1% of users (if that) who align with BIP-110 will have destroyed their credibility and effectively filtered themselves out of the network. It leaves Core positioned to be more effective and reminds a new generation of Core developers that technical merit always trumps virtue signaling.

I also think the industry needs to wake up to its role in consensus and become more engaged with Bitcoin Improvement Proposals going forward. All stakeholders need to tango, or we default to ossification.

There’s more to be said on the topic, but this is already too long.

Keep doing your thing, Bitcoin.

@astronomer_zero Expect a correction from here to 60500 on Monday, I took scalp shorts.

[Samantha Power @SamanthaJPower]

Starting in early 2025, Elon Musk and the Trump administration began terminating USAID's programs and firing its staff — with Musk himself boasting about "feeding it into the woodchipper." One year ago today, USAID was officially dissolved, its remaining programs haphazardly folded into the State Department. Amid all the lies and misinformation that have followed, some facts about what has actually been lost:

• USAID saved more than 3 million lives a year at a cost of less than $10/month per American. That is what was destroyed. On purpose.
• According to Boston University's Global Impact Counter — which tracked deaths attributable to the cuts until it stopped operations in February 2026 — an estimated 781,000 people died preventable deaths in the first year, including 518,000 children.
• Global child mortality (the number of children who die before their fifth birthday) rose in 2025 for the first time in 35+ years — by 200,000 additional deaths.
• USAID's 50-country disease surveillance network — the system that cut outbreak response times from 2 weeks to 48 hours — is gone. We are now watching an unprecedented Ebola outbreak unfold in real time — with the highest first-month caseload and death rate in modern history.
• Programs reaching 93 million women and children were cut 92%. TB programs cut 56%. Water and sanitation cut 86%. Over 2,000 health facilities permanently closed.
• 25 million fewer people received humanitarian assistance in 2025. The overall humanitarian budget was slashed 74% — from $14.1 billion to $3.7 billion.
• 363 million people face acute hunger in 2026. The famine early-warning system that would have seen it coming went dark for five months.
• $1.7 billion in democracy and governance funding (election monitoring, anti-corruption work, support for independent media and civil society) was terminated.
• 360+ independent media outlets lost funding. Hundreds of legal clinics closed.
• Far from saving money, the Trump administration itself has already said the dismantlement will cost taxpayers at least $19.2 billion in cancellation fees, severance, and penalties. That's more than half of USAID's annual budget — spent on destruction and closeout, not support for vulnerable people.
• American farmers, universities, and businesses are among the casualties too. USAID partnered with more than 3,500 U.S. companies and maintained 17 university-based research labs. Its work with U.S.-based contractors and the private sector generated hundreds of thousands of American jobs and multiplied the return on every dollar spent. Those markets and partnerships are gone.

BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly pissed that the White House has now been labeled as a rapist’s house on major sex offender map apps, and he can’t sue to force them to remove that designation because it’s legally official.

Trump the Groper-in-Chief: Beauty Queen Exposes His Violent Assault and Epstein-Style Threat

Disgusting. Absolutely vile. Trump allegedly lured 23-year-old Beatrice Keul to a Plaza Hotel suite in 1993, jumped on her like a predator, groped and mauled her body while she screamed for help, then threatened her with "bad things can happen" if she talked.

This isn't a one-off — it's the same serial sexual predator pattern from a man now tied to Jeffrey Epstein, who openly called her his "prey" right after Trump's alleged attack.

Keul is one of 28+ women with similar horror stories. A jury already nailed him for sexual abuse. He denies it all, claims he "never met" them, and his team calls him "exonerated."

Enough. This is a man who weaponized power to assault women and silence them. The dam is bursting, more victims are speaking, and America should be furious.

Trump doesn't belong anywhere near leadership — he belongs in the dustbin of history with every other pedophile, rapist, and sexual predator.

[Stephen King @StephenKing]

Epstein files. Release 'em.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

What this means is that the jury verdict that determined that @realDonaldTrump had sexually abused my friend E. Jean Carroll by penetrating her vagina with his fingers, and therefore had defamed her by denying that he had done so, will stand as a final and conclusive judgment.

The highly respected district judge who tried the case, the Hon. Lewis A. Kaplan, correctly stated multiple times that the jury's finding of sexual abuse under New York law meant that, in common parlance and under the law of most jurisdictions, Donald Trump was found to have raped E. Jean.

So henceforth and forever more, it will be completely accurate—and utterly inactionable under the common and constitutional law of defamation—to state the following fact:

DONALD J. TRUMP IS AN ADJUDICATED RAPIST.

[Bit Paine ⚡️ @BitPaine]

caught up with a friend of mine who had been in crypto since 2017. works at a startup. they are very close to shutting down completely. no funding left. crypto VCs are all either bankrupt or they’ve pivoted to ai. can’t raise money. they are hoping for a btc pump before their runway ends so they can hopefully sell their company for 5% of what it was valued in 2021

founders started with 10,000 BTC (they were OGs), have sold 2/3rds trying to keep company afloat.

in case you’re wondering who has been selling, and what crypto contagion looks like.

it looks like a bitcoin cycle with no alt season. every pile of shit in this fake industry going to zero, and a drag on BTC performance as they sell the only thing they can.

we are close to the end. they have run out of coins. sold to Fink and Saylor.

SCANDAL❕

OKX EXCHANGE GIFT DID NOT DELIVER BITCOIN AND BLOCKED ITS USER.

Turkish trader @KriptoEfsanesi won 1.5 BTC from the event organized by OKX. Then they said there was an error in the system and offered to give 0.15 BTC.

When the user did not accept the offer, OKX CEO STAR blocked the user.

Dear OKX users, imagine that the balance in your account is 0 tomorrow. Who are you thinking of contacting a CEO who is blocking you?
