I've been programming for nearly 30 years (since I was 10). I have 2 degrees covering CS, Math, and Physics. I've been paid to programm for 15 years. In my free time, I write programs. I am a fount of knowledge, specially when it comes to maintenance.

Jesus Fucking Christ @Google I don't need a chat notification and email notification just because I commented on one of my documents. Who the fuck thought that was a good idea!?
@moraes_c_ After forking a repo, give me the option to have all PRs for the repo default to the repo I just forked instead of upstream.
There's a lengthy multi-year thread asking for this, but completely ignored by GitHub: https://t.co/A8eRYEtx8V
Does anyone know how to get ahold of someone at the IRS?
All phone numbers I've found for the IRS are just automated systems that won't connect me to a person (and doesn't have any useful info for me). And contacting my Rep (Troy Downing) has proved to be worthless.
Alright — picture this at the bar, we’re two drinks in, game’s on mute, and someone says:
“So what’s this Figure / HASH / blockchain thing actually about?”
You sigh. Take a sip. And explain it like a human.
⸻
This isn’t crypto-the-coin.
This is credit. (And it’s huge)
Credit is where the real money lives. Mortgages. HELOCs. Personal loans. Stuff that hangs around for years, not seconds.
Settlement moves money from A to B and disappears.
Credit creates money, then drags it through the system for decades collecting interest, fees, risk, paperwork, and headaches.
That’s the difference.
⸻
Now here’s what Figure did…
They said:
“What if we stopped running the credit market on 1980s plumbing?”
Instead of PDFs, phone calls, clearing delays, and seven middlemen who all take a cut… they put the loan itself on a blockchain.
A boring, permissioned, compliance-first chain built for lenders.
That chain is Provenance.
And it’s beautiful.
Think of it like the title office for loans.
Who owns what. When it moved. What changed. All clean. All auditable.
⸻
Now the amendment.
The S-1 amendment is paperwork that says:
“Hey SEC, we’re not screwing around.
We’re issuing equity the same way we issue loans—digitally, cleanly, legally.”
So they create Blockchain Stock. You can hold it on-chain… or convert it into normal Class A stock and trade it like any other public equity.
Same asset.
Two worlds.
No drama.
⸻
Now HASH.
HASH is the thing running the bar.
It secures the network.
It prices usage.
It governs the rules.
No one’s advertising it because the customers aren’t retail. They’re lenders, servicers, institutions.
That’s also why you can barely find it on exchanges.
If it were everywhere and shilled nonstop, it’d be a red flag.
⸻
Why now?
Because credit markets are bloated, slow, expensive, and under pressure.
Margins are thinner.
Rates moved.
Capital efficiency suddenly matters.
When things get tight, Wall Street doesn’t experiment—it upgrades.
⸻
So let’s tie it together:
• The amendment = legal permission
• The blockchain = new credit plumbing
• Credit > settlement because it multiplies money
• HASH = the silent engine underneath
• Limited exchange access = feature, not bug
Kinda like finding a
Zoning discrepancy for Airbnb’s. The entire area excludes BNB’s but there is one street, or one building where they are allowed - low supply, high demand. Limited access = trust.
This isn’t about price predictions. You know I don’t do that. It’s about plumbing and pattern recognition.
It’s about who modernizes first.
And it’s always credit.
Finish your drink, or coffee.
Now you see it.
