The happiest Bitcoin people I know own between 2 and 6 BTC.

Enough to feel part of something.

Not enough to destroy their personality.

Everyone above 10 BTC turns into a different person.

Everyone above 100 becomes unrecognizable (unbearable?)

There's a wealth threshold where money stops improving life and starts consuming it.

This guy turned every single text his HOA president sent him into a song.

Over the past year and a half, she’s been texting him nonstop about fines, videos he’s posting, eggs in the yard, signs on his lawn, his driveway, and even threatening to put a lien on his house. So instead of arguing with her, he had AI turn all her messages into a full song.

It’s honestly one of the most creative ways I’ve seen someone get back at an over-the-top HOA.

Be honest… would you turn your HOA president’s texts into a song?

Just a realization:

1. 2027 is less than 7 months away.
2. COVID was over 6 years ago.
3. 2007 is now further back than 2040 is ahead.
4. People born in 1990 are only about 14 years away from turning 50.

Time flies really fast. Spend it wisely.

Plausible path:

Bitcoin forms a low in June (like it did in June 2018 and June 2022).

BTC rallies in July

SPX correction later in year which allows Bitcoin to finally bottom (most likely October)

Four year cycle wins again

THEO VON: “Was there anybody who was immune to COVID-19?”

DR. MCCULLOUGH: “There’s one adult group. You’re going to laugh.”

[Theo Von listens closely for the reveal]

DR. MCCULLOUGH: “Smokers… They got very mild cases. And they don’t get long COVID.”

THEO VON: “Why?”

MCCULLOUGH: “Because smokers maintain a level of nicotine in the bloodstream… Smoking blocks the spike protein. It’s amazing. I thought smokers were going to go down.”

THEO VON: “Do you think that’s a good idea [to use nicotine patches] on a regular basis?”

DR. MCCULLOUGH: “I think [it’s a good idea] if they have long COVID... Nicotine, don’t forget, is a nootropic. A nootropic is a drug that makes the brain function more effectively... It’s addictive, but it’s not harmful to the human body... Nicotine patches are perfectly safe.”

Berkshire Hathaway would not buy a home building company if home prices were going lower

[Haz @Michael_Haz]

My MD wrote a prescription he believes I need. He sent it to a local Walgreen’s to be filled.

After a delay of one week Walgreen’s notified me the cost will be $409.81 and that insurance doesn’t cover it. I said “try again”.

Another week passed and I went to Walgreens and asked why the delay? They said the insurance company sent a request to my MD asking for explanation.

Tired of waiting I said “okay I’ll pay cash. How much was it?”

After punching on the keyboard the clerk said $398.16. I pulled a printed coupon out of my pocket and said “….here’s a coupon from Walgreens that says the price is $13.86.”

I paid Walgreen’s $13.86 for a prescription Walgreen’s told me would cost $409.81.

I don’t know who is more screwed up, Walgreen’s or the pharma company that made the pills, or the insurance company that wouldn’t pay. But this crap is downright criminal.

After reflecting deeply on this governance process, a few things are clearer to me than ever.
Cardano is alive. The community is engaged. And that matters more than any single vote.

But this process has shown me something important: Cardano's governance is real. You are not passive holders. You are owners. That is exactly what we built this for.

It has also reminded me that when Cardano has needed it most, the Pentad delivered. IOG, EMURGO, the Cardano Foundation, Midnight Foundation, and Intersect have proven they can coordinate and bring critical integrations to life when the ecosystem needed it. That coordination layer matters now more than ever.

So let me show up the way I should.

I will be in Singapore for the Cardano Summit and I will be on stage. I am also personally committing to partially top up our Token2049 sponsorship to Title level. Being on that main stage is where Cardano and Midnight need to be heard.

To the Pentad, I am inviting all of you to sit down and have a real conversation about the future of governance and how we formalise this coordination going forward.

I am 100% focused on Cardano and Midnight. Always have been. Let me prove it. #strongertogether

🚨 THE ENERGY STAR SCAM IS OFFICIALLY BUSTED 🚨
They’ve been plastering “Energy Star” stickers on your fridge, washer, and AC for decades — promising massive savings, lower bills, and “saving the planet.”
It’s all a sham.
Watch this brand-new Energy Star fridge get absolutely destroyed by an unrestored 86-year-old fridge that’s twice its size.
The antique beast barely sips electricity.
The “high-efficiency” modern one? Not even close.
They’ve been gaslighting you into buying overpriced junk that dies faster while your power bill keeps climbing. Planned obsolescence wrapped in a green bow.
Drop this in your feed and watch the normies lose their minds.
Tag someone who just bought an “Energy Star” appliance 👇

一部の日本のdRepが私たちの研究提案に反対票を投じたことに、深い悲しみを覚えています。
もしこの提案が可決されなければ、カルダノ（Cardano）はその科学者たちを失い、私たちのラボは閉鎖に追い込まれるということを、日本のコミュニティ全体に再認識していただきたいと考えています。私たちは10年以上の歳月をかけて努力と成長を積み重ね、暗号資産分野において世界最強の研究グループを築き上げてきました。
一部の断片的な資金援助だけで、この成果をバラバラに崩壊させるわけにはいきません。私たちの科学者たちは、より確実性と敬意のある場所へと去ってしまうでしょう。
どうか、カルダノの研究アジェンダを支持するdRepへの委任をお願いいたします。

Imagine being so deep in a cult that you call a proof of work, no premine, privacy coin a shitcoin and then have absolutely no clue that Hal wanted it to exist back in 1993 when he wrote:

“Cryptography can make possible a world in which people have control over information about themselves, not because government has granted them that control, but because only they possess the cryptographic keys to reveal that information..

..The goal of electronic cash is to allow these same kinds of private transactions to take place electronically"

From Protecting Privacy with Electronic Cash

Zoko remembers because he's a real cypherpunk that grew up with Hal, Adam and the rest. The Bitcoin Maxi cargo cult doesn't. They bought an orange coin because Mike told them it will make them rich.

After working for 50 years, the average Social Security recipient gets $1800/month.

After being in America for 50 minutes, the average illegal “refugee” gets $3874/month.

And red or blue, that should PISS EVERYONE OFF.

🚨 BREAKING: The US Supreme Court has ruled 9-0 that freight brokers can be held LIABLE if they negligently hire unsafe trucking companies — including those with ILLEGAL ALIEN and FOREIGN drivers who violate CDL rules and cause accidents

LFG! Start cracking down on the companies 🔥

The opinion, delivered by Barrett, confirms that federal law does not shield these brokers from state negligence lawsuits.

This will likely help force brokers into being MUCH more careful about which carriers they use, because they want to avoid lawsuits

PURGE THE CDL SYSTEM and hold all trucking companies liable!

Non-English foreigners all over the roads needs to end.

JUST IN: The new U.S. crypto market structure bill does NOT classify decentralized “network tokens” as securities under federal securities laws.

The framework heavily favors:
• Decentralized governance
• Open-source infrastructure
• Non-custodial staking
• Distributed validator participation

Cardano checks every box.

After CBS embarrassed Karen Bass by fact-checking her debate lies about the Palisades Fire, they clearly got the call. CBS filmed with me on my burned out lot for over an hour, and they turned it over to Karen Bass’ PR team to edit it into a comical 5 minute hit piece with clips from the Hills. They can’t beat my ideas, they can’t beat me in the debates, so they gotta try to turn my campaign into a sideshow. People are done with these skeezy political tricks, and I’m done with CBS. They’ll never get a word from me for my next 8 years as mayor. Adios! What outlet should I have in their absence?

🇺🇸NEW: The IRS may owe REFUNDS to tens of millions of American taxpayers from the COVID-19 era.

A court ruled that the entire 3.5-year COVID-19 disaster period (Jan 2020 – May 2023) automatically postponed all federal tax filing and payment deadlines.

Every penalty and interest charge assessed during that window may have been improper.

Americans will need to manually request relief using Form 843 before the July 10, 2026 deadline.
