Around $3 Trillion dollars were laundered through banks in 2025 despite the warrantless surveillance regimes they facilitate for governments. And they want you to think that people making peer-to-peer transactions on chain are the problem that needs to be outlawed.

SMH, Building a backdoor into the Clarity Act to go after developers.
They really don't want us to succeed.
Big Bank lobbying at its finest.

[TFTC @TFTC21]

Last-minute negotiations between Banking Committee Republicans and Democrats this morning led to a compromise that removed language from the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA) in Section 301 of the CLARITY Act.

This is significant. The BRCA was the provision that explicitly protected noncustodial software developers from being classified as money transmitters. It was the direct response to the Tornado Cash and Samourai Wallet prosecutions, the carve-out that Senators Grassley and Lummis negotiated to shield good-faith developers while preserving prosecutors' ability to go after those who knowingly facilitate crime.

That language has now been stripped to secure bipartisan votes.

DeFi advocates are already raising alarms, saying the move could gut critical protections for software developers as the bill moves to the full Senate.

Despite the concession, Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) still did not vote to advance the bill, even after positively referencing the changes during the markup.

Senator Bernie Moreno said during the hearing that there's "still work to be done on Section 301," signaling that negotiations on developer protections will continue as the Banking Committee and Agriculture Committee merge their texts ahead of a floor vote.

The bill passed committee 15-9. But the developer protection language that made this bill matter to the people actually building in Bitcoin just got traded away for votes that didn't even materialize.

Literally i got shocked today from this news

What happened to “never sell your bitcoin”

We are never going to sell Bitcoin'' was a meme all this time?

saylor spent years saying "never sell bitcoin" and now the business model literally requires selling bitcoin

It's very stupid to believe that he'll never sell 🤷‍♂️

Borrow, buy BTC, sell BTC, repeat

Financial engineering goes brrr

Is this where bitcoin starts to crash?

[BuBBliK @k1rallik]

do you understand what just happened to your computer..

Google Chrome secretly downloaded a 4GB AI model onto your device. Without asking.. Without telling you..

It's called weights.bin. It lives deep in your system folders. It powers Gemini Nano - Google's on-device AI.

And if you delete it? Chrome re-downloads it automatically. Like nothing happened.

Just Google deciding your hard drive is their storage unit.

At 1 billion Chrome users - that's 4 BILLION gigabytes of data pushed silently across the internet.

The carbon footprint alone equals tens of thousands of cars running for a year.

Check your disk right now:
📁 %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\OptGuideOnDeviceModel

To stop it: chrome://flags → disable Optimization Guide On Device Model → restart Chrome → delete the folder.

Reshare so people know what's sitting on their computers.

Hermes Vault 0.6.0 is out.

And this one is nasty.

I added OAuth PKCE login + token auto-refresh.

So now Hermes Vault can:

🔹open a browser login flow
🔹store access + refresh tokens automatically
🔹refresh near-expired tokens before they break
🔹support Google, GitHub, OpenAI, or custom providers
🔹expose OAuth login/refresh as MCP tools
🔹audit every event without leaking secrets

This is the difference between:

“my agent has a pile of API keys”

and

“my agent has a credential system.”

That matters.

A lot.
