For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

BITCOIN DIPLOMACY: El Salvador has officially opened its new 'Bitcoin Embassy' in Lugano, Switzerland's most bitcoin-friendly city.
The July 1st inauguration was led by Honorary Consul @giacomozucco, an OG bitcoiner who continues to unite both jurisdictions through world-class educational initiatives like the inaugural CUBO+ and the Plan B Summer School.

21 seconds. One challenge.
Plan ₿ Summer School students shared their favourite teacher and lesson of the day, with the chance to win a seat at the speakers’ dinner table.
Then we asked them to describe Bitcoin in just one word.
Now it’s your turn. What is Bitcoin to you?
Today we wrapped up the CUBO_AI OpenClaw Bootcamp in El Salvador!
$400 in AI tokens and a group of ambitious students is all it takes to shape the future. I’m pretty sure we spent more on lunch.
This week we put 8 groups to the test in our OpenClaw bootcamp. Day 1 was lectures on Agentic AI, how to approach building with AI whether you’re technical or not, and how to safeguard yourself from the real risks of unleashing an autonomous agent on your machine. Day 2 was entirely dedicated to building. Every group had to come up with their own automation challenge and solve it.
In 5 hours we had 9 working projects. One group decided to build two things because they finished early. Five hours is all it took to prototype functional products and businesses.
Across our bootcamp students we saw:
- Automated lead generation with validation and Telegram alerts so they never miss a prospect
- A gold, silver and oil price tracker with trajectory analysis that collects global news into a single dashboard
- A pharmacy prescription tool that automatically pulls requests from email and streamlines medication delivery times
- A Telegram-based English tutor with structured lessons, voice analysis for grammar correction and a web dashboard
- A medical studies database with integrated quizzes and resource links to help students prepare for specializations
- An entrepreneurial assistant that helps with designs, business strategy and AI integration plans
- A Telegram and Chrome plugin that lets you send a YouTube link to the agent and get the downloaded file back, or download straight in the browser
Students ranging from some AI experience to none at all walked in not knowing what an AI agent was and walked out with working products and real world solutions. Every one of them stepped up, came up with their own problem to solve, and figured out how to orchestrate an AI agent into doing real work. They became product managers of their own ideas in real time.
Tools like OpenClaw, NemoClaw and the wave of open source agent frameworks behind them are doing something the last decade of tech never did. Making it possible to build real software products without a CS degree, without venture funding and without being anywhere near Silicon Valley. The only requirement is a problem worth solving and the willingness to sit down and figure it out.
The next generation of builders is not going to come exclusively from Stanford or Y Combinator. The models and tools are getting cheaper and becoming more accessible by the month. The playing field is leveling whether the traditional tech world is ready for it or not. And once again, El Salvador is leading the charge. This week, a room full of ambitious builders demonstrated it.
The first bitcoin event of the year sets the vibe for the year...
... and that vibe is WINNING ⛳️🇸🇻🏆

El Salvador has reduced its homicide rate by over 98% in the past 10 years.
People say freedom and safety are opposing goals, but you cannot have freedom without a baseline level of security.
From my speech at Bitcoin Histórico in San Salvador, El Salvador. Nov 13th 2025
🎓 Meet José Saenz, one of our 2025 Summer School students:
“Summer School is just fantastic. Different players in the industry—marketers, VCs, entrepreneurs... It’s amazing what we’re learning here. And I keep learning more every day.”
Stay tuned for upcoming Schools! 🧡
Thrilled to have completed the course Plan ₿ Biz School 2025, taught by Giacomo Zucco on @planb_network and to have earned my diploma!

1/ 🏦 Never leave your bitcoin on an exchange
Yes, storing bitcoin on an exchange is easy, but doing so also exposes them to a different set of risks:
- Your account can be frozen.
- Your account can be hacked.
- Your transactions can be censored.
