The first hackerhouse in Italy just opened its doors.

Founders from around the world flew in to build together under one roof. In Milan.

This deserves a thread.

Artificial intelligence is not replacing human intuition in maths and physics, but reimagining how questions are asked, explored and understood

@Jason Curate a syndicate we can invest on blockchain with no minimum investment requirement, permissionless. You can put as much AI stuff needed in the basquet, there is much need for it. And we want to see wallets action so not to be frontrunned by the insiders gay disgraziat.

Institutions are inefficient.

Experts are overrated.

Capital should flow toward builders.

Technology compounds.

Independent thinking wins.

The first hackerhouse in Italy is opening.

6 founders from around the world. One house. In partnership with The Residency.

Italy is the last place people expect startup culture. That's the point.

BREAKING:

Europe is considering Ethereum as the settlement layer for a Euro stablecoin.

Not a pilot. Not a sandbox test.
Real financial infrastructure. For sovereign money.

Public blockchains are being assessed for sovereign-grade settlement.

Transparency. Uptime. Security.
Now policy considerations.

> UBS chose Ethereum.
> BlackRock chose Ethereum.
> Franklin Templeton chose Ethereum.

Now potentially the European Central Bank.

Crypto rails are moving from markets to institutions to governments.

This is not about hype.
This is about who controls the financial rails of the future.

And Ethereum just entered the sovereign conversation.

This is why:

* Self-sovereign identity, data and money (so you control your account, not a third-party provider)
* CROPS AI (so other people cannot do this to *your computer* https://t.co/zmG8wrfzAi )

@AndyGuzmanEth We should go a step further, and move beyond the USD index itself

Have personalized per-user indices (think: consumer prices, labor prices, energy prices, rent)

then do PMs/options over all of the above

So combine https://t.co/efALVOuJjf and https://t.co/isSkr3901W

One of the many things I dislike about the style of "make AI go well" discourse from frontier AI companies is how nationalist the whole thing has gotten.

In the 2010s, it was: "we're here to benefit all of humanity"

In the 2020s, "we're here to benefit all of 4% of humanity"

And even the Good People are buying into this frame completely😢

And they expect humanity to go along, because "come on, be a realistic adult, it's either us or Chiiina" or something like that

(And on the EU side, you get "[X] with European values", which too often seems to mean "the same stuff they're doing, but with Us instead of Them in charge")

Very big-dog-small-dog energy, morally speaking.

Despite not having $hype exposure i’m happy to see hyperliquid win
