Do Better

[Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos]

Please do a quick read of this. It’s short, well written, and will remove a bit of wool from over your eyes.

Dear Senator Sanders,

Oh, this is RICH. This is so perfectly, exquisitely, weapons-grade rich that I had to put down my anatomy exams and just... appreciate it for a moment.

The man who got thrown out of a SOCIALIST HIPPIE COMMUNE in Vermont in 1971 — after THREE DAYS — for refusing to do any actual work while everyone else planted, harvested, and hauled water, is out here telling me the OLIGARCHS want to control everything.

Three. Days. The communists gave you a longer trial period than most employers give to someone who steals from the register.

Here is what Jim Quinn's Law Number Two says, and I want every single person reading this to tattoo it somewhere useful: "If you want to know what liberals are up to, pay attention to what they accuse conservatives of doing."

Senator, you OWN THREE HOMES. A Burlington residence. A D.C. townhouse. A $575,000 vacation lake house in North Hero, Vermont — purchased in 2016, the same year you were touring the country telling college students the system is rigged. Your net worth sits somewhere between $2.5 and $3 million. You have pocketed over $2.5 MILLION in book royalties since 2011. That elevator is clearly not stuck between floors for you, is it.

And then — THEN — during your "Fighting Oligarchy Tour" with AOC, you spent over $550,000 in CAMPAIGN FUNDS on PRIVATE JET TRAVEL. Half a million dollars on luxury jets to lecture working Americans about the dangers of wealth.

When Fox News caught you boarding a Bombardier Challenger 604 — a jet that runs up to $15,000 PER HOUR — you did not apologize. You did not even blink. You looked directly into the camera and said, and I am quoting this verbatim because it is the most accidentally honest thing you have ever said: "You think I'm gonna be sitting on a waiting line at United?"

Senator. THAT IS OLIGARCHIC THINKING. That is TEXTBOOK "the rules apply to you people, not to me." That is the elevator music of every single billionaire you have spent 35 years pretending to oppose. In a battle of wits with your own stated beliefs, you showed up completely unarmed.

Thirty-five years in Congress. You know what your personal legislative output looks like? Eight bills passed. EIGHT. In three and a half DECADES. That works out to 0.23 bills per year. I have produced more graded anatomy exams in a single semester. Your two greatest solo legislative achievements — the ones with your name on top, the thing YOU actually DID — are the naming of a post office in Danville, Vermont, and the naming of a post office in Fair Haven, Vermont.

You named. Two. Post offices.

You are as useful as a screen door on a submarine when it comes to actually passing legislation, but you want me to believe you are the vanguard of the working class. That sounds like a YOU problem.

Quinn's Law #25: "Liberals are great at giving away other people's money." You have been living PROOF of that law for 35 years. You give away everyone else's money — from a vacation home on a lake — while spending half a million on jets because you are far too important to wait in line with the taxpayers funding your lifestyle.

You want to talk about oligarchs controlling the media? You have been IN the media for four decades. You just finished a $75 million documentary. You have a book deal. You have a podcast. You HAVE the megaphone and you are using it to tell people that other people have the megaphone. The gene pool really needed a lifeguard for THAT particular reasoning.

I am a high school science teacher in Northeast Ohio. I support a family of six on a teacher's salary. I am not particularly impressed by a man with three houses, $550,000 in jet receipts, and 0.23 bills per year telling me he stands with the working class. More famous than wise, Senator. More famous than wise.

The hippie commune knew it in 72 hours. How long is it going to take everyone else?

IF you agree: LIKE this post so the algorithm shows it to people who need to read it. SHARE this.

COMMENT below — do YOU think a man with three homes and a half-million dollar private jet habit speaks for working Americans? Tell me.

And if you want MORE of this — the data, the history, the science, the stories — JOIN Bski's Classroom community on X or YouTube.

But what do I know — I am only a science teacher who can actually do math, a retired Army combat medic who knows what genuine sacrifice looks like, and apparently one of the few people left who finds it suspicious that the most vocal enemy of oligarchy just cannot bring himself to wait in line at the airport with the rest of us.

@JesusMartinez He had it set up for him. Const put the ball on the 5 yard line and then he celebrates when he pushes it across the goal line.

@JesusMartinez Safe to buy back in or is Sam still in ownership of the subnet and getting emissions?

WOAH @Jason discussing @ridges_ai and Bittensor on @theallinpod 👀

there's clear opportunity post-templar to be the king subnet on $tao.

chat, i need your help... is @ridges_ai the next $100M subnet runner and taking the subnet crown?

[Chutes @chutes_ai]

Today was a big day for bittensor.

We have things to say.

Monday 1PM EST.

We're hosting our first ever Chutes & Answers AMA with @jon_durbin and the team.

We'll talk about where SN64 stands and share some early alpha on what we've been building quietly.

You probably already know why this matters.

Bring your questions 🤍

[Mark Jeffrey @markjeffrey]

Interesting!

[Do Better @do_better99]

@NoLimitGains Simple, this is reflecting the uncertainty in future cash flows due to advances in AI. The discount rate is higher and where as before the cash flows looked certain 10-15 years out, now more like 5-7. The market is repricing.

@micaelabazo is using agents to search molecular similarities, identify possible applications, and accelerate research tasks that usually require large manual effort.

@JesusMartinez Cease-fire or conclusion coming shortly, you can see in the post. He gives himself several outs and he’s trying to look strong so people don’t say he caved when the next pause or the announcement is made. Several sources say a deal is imminent.

Someone could go to school for 4 years and study aerospace engineering, then get a PhD with a dissertation related to orbital mechanics, and some instagram influencer who watched a youtube video will be like "actually that guy is wrong" on a topic related to space travel and people will believe them.

I'm not sure how we got here, but I hope we go back to a society where credibility is earned with rigorous training in the associated field, not by a popularity contest.

[Mark Jeffrey @markjeffrey]

Subnets using subnets - the trend accelerates.

Subnet stacking produces compounding cost savings.

[Mark Jeffrey @markjeffrey]

Where did our money go, @GavinNewsom?

[τroy @TroyQuasar]

What is missing in the world of decentralized AI right now is quality

Thanks to templar, we were able to make large decentralized runs possible

But now, we need to match centralized AI
- Quality matters the most
Quasar will deliver that
quality, long context, and decentralized training

all coming from Bittensor.

Trump just threatened to bomb Iran's power plants on Tuesday. On Easter Sunday.

Then told Fox News there's a "good chance" of a deal by Monday.

Bitcoin doesn't care. It should.

BTC is sitting at $67,400 with a Fear and Greed index of 9. That's 46 straight days of extreme fear. The longest streak in years.

Polymarket gives a ceasefire this week a 3% chance. Three percent.

Here's what's actually happening on the ground right now:

• Iran launched 9 ballistic missiles and 50+ drones at UAE, Israel, Kuwait, and Jordan today
• US rescued a downed F-15 pilot from deep inside Iran overnight
• OPEC warned that repairing damaged energy infrastructure is "costly and takes a long time"
• Brent crude at $106+, up 60% since the war started
• Strait of Hormuz still blocked. 20% of the world's oil stuck.
• Ship insurance for Hormuz passage surged from 1% to 7.5% per trip

Monday is the deadline. Trump's original 10-day ultimatum expires.

If a deal happens, oil crashes to $80. BTC rips past $70K. Shorts get squeezed.

If no deal, Tuesday is "Power Plant Day." Oil spikes past $120. Rate cuts dead for the year. BTC retests $60K.

The Fed Watch tool right now shows a 99.5% chance of a hold. Zero cuts expected. There's actually a 0.5% chance of a rate HIKE.

By October 2026, the odds of a rate hike are higher than the odds of a cut.

Meanwhile, in 7 days:

• North Korea stole $285M from Drift Protocol on Solana in 12 minutes
• Ethereum Foundation staked 70,000 ETH ($143M) instead of selling
• Grayscale filed an amended S-1 for a Bittensor TAO ETF
• Jack Dorsey's Block is reviving the Bitcoin faucet tomorrow
• AI token sector grew 30% in March. TAO up 67%. FET up 44%.

Retail crypto interest on X dropped from 1 in 17 posts to 1 in 250. That's a 93% collapse in mindshare.

Google Trends for crypto is at the lowest since early 2021.

And yet institutions keep buying. The Clarity Act has a 67% chance of passing mid-April on Polymarket.

This is the most important week of 2026 for crypto. And most people aren't paying attention.
