[VLAD HOSTS THE BEST PODCAST IN BITCOIN @Vladcostea]

Satoshi Nakamoto used clearnet IP address 68.164.57.219

as shows in Hal Finney’s logs

this IP address points to a customer of Covad Communications in the Van Nuys / Los Angeles, California area

1h 20m away from Hal’s house

So Satoshi couldn’t be Adam Back, Peter Todd, Len Sassaman, or any of the non-Californian resident

Most likely it wasn’t Hal Finney either, as his coding style doesn’t match Satoshi’s and Hal came out as patronizing in some e-mail exchanges

1% of people account for 63% of all violent crimes.

0.2% of people ever commit murder, and **67% of all murders**are committed by people with prior arrests

You can literally just fix crime by not tolerating people who show a history of being destructive to society.

A Restore Britain Government will aim to prosecute officials and politicians who knowingly placed dangerous third world savages in our communities.

This will apply retrospectively.

A great number of people will go to prison for what has been inflicted on our communities.

A man deposits $10,000 in a bank.

The bank thanks him and records the deposit on its balance sheet. But not where you might expect. For the bank, that $10,000 is actually a liability – because technically it belongs to the customer and might have to be returned.

So the bank does what banks do. It lends $9,000 of that money to someone buying a car.

Now something interesting happens. The $9,000 loan appears on the bank’s books as an asset – because someone now owes the bank money.

So the same $10,000 is doing two jobs at once. The depositor believes he has $10,000 safely in the bank. The borrower now has $9,000 to spend.

That $9,000 gets deposited somewhere else. The next bank lends $8,100. That gets deposited again. Then $7,290 gets lent out.

Soon the original $10,000 has quietly turned into tens of thousands of dollars of loans scattered across the economy.

Everyone believes they have money. Depositors see balances in their accounts. Borrowers have the money they spent. Banks show healthy assets on their balance sheets because people owe them money.

And here’s the best part.

Banks charge interest on all those loans – maybe 7%. But the depositor who supplied the original money might earn only 0.5% on their savings account.

So banks collect interest on money that mostly wasn’t theirs to begin with – and keep the difference.

The system works beautifully.

As long as nobody asks for the money back at the same time.

I got chills when reading this article.

I've never been more bullish on AI. And I've never been more terrified of what that means.

It's written from the POV of June 2028.

But it's long, so I summarised it for you:

• AI gets good. Companies lay off workers. Margins expand. Stocks rip. S&P hits 8,000. Everyone celebrates.

• But fired workers stop spending. Companies weaken. They buy more AI to cut costs. More layoffs. Less spending. A negative feedback loop with no natural brake.

• The top 10% of earners drive 50%+ of all consumer spending. They're the ones getting replaced. A $180K product manager ends up driving Uber for $45K. Multiply that across every major city.

• Ghost GDP emerges - the economy is "growing" on paper, but the money never reaches real people. Productivity is booming. Wages are collapsing.

• Then it hits housing. $13 trillion in mortgages, all underwritten on one assumption: you keep your job for 30 years. In 2008, the loans were bad on day one. In 2028, the loans were good. The world just changed after they were written.

• S&P crashes 38% from highs. Unemployment hits 10.2%. Markets barely react anymore.

• The punchline: you're not reading this in 2028. You're reading it in February 2026. Every domino they describe has already started falling.

The canary is still alive. Barely.

Dr. Russell Barkley, drawing from 20+ years of twin studies, behavior genetics, and neuroimaging: Parenting isn't engineering a blank slate—it's shepherding a unique genetic mosaic already loaded with 400+ psychological traits that emerge mostly on their own timetable.

You provide the pasture: safe, nourishing environments with adequate (not excessive) stimulation, protection from harm, and access to rich out-of-home influences (peers, schools, neighborhoods, community—the biggest shaper after genetics, per Judith Harris in The Nurture Assumption).

But you don't redesign the sheep. No prenatal Mozart, no overload of crib toys turns threshold development into engineered genius. Extra stimulation past basics yields diminishing returns; "more is better" is a cultural illusion, not biology.

Data is stark: Parental influence on core traits peaks before 7, plummets to ~6% in teens, hits zero after 21. Knowledge transfers via exposure—yes. Personality, abilities, temperament? Largely genetics + broader world.

This frees parents from crushing guilt ("If my child struggles, I failed"). Instead: Curate wisely, then enjoy watching the individual unfold. Open the Chardonnay, kick back—the show is brief.

Short of abuse/neglect/malnutrition, in-home tweaks are often trivial next to where you choose to live and the doors it opens.

Shepherd, not engineer. Let them grow into who they already are.

Does this shift relieve pressure—or challenge how you view "success" in raising kids?
