Anthropic's CEO admitted AI job displacement may be "intrinsic." Here's my question: Would you trade the old economy — 40-year careers, mandatory retirement, dying broke — for one where AI cures aging, colonizes Mars, and generates post-scarcity abundance while you do what you actually love? That's not a threat. That's the deal.
The Iran war “ended” the day before the biggest IPO in history, Trump’s birthday, and a UFC card at the White House.
What a coincidence. What timing. Wow.
Demis Hassabis is arguably the most serious scientist around. He's not someone who engages in hype to sell products.
But when even someone like Demis says the following, it should give us all pause:
- "He [Demis] equated its arrival [AGI, around 2030] to the singularity - a point in time when there's no turning back from a breakthrough technological development.
- "Society needs to hear that because we don't have long to prepare for what that means"
- "When we look back at this time, I think we will realize that we were standing in the foothills of the singularity" (Google i/o)
We are on the threshold of the most profound revolution. Comparable to the Industrial Revolution, but ten times faster and ten times more powerful.
Food for thought
We are running 21st‑century monetary policy on a 1913 operating system. It is time to scrap the Federal Reserve’s regional offices and their presidents and admit that a map drawn for the age of railroads has no place in a world of real‑time data.
The 12 regional banks were a political compromise, not a sacred design.
They were built for localized banking, slow communication, and expensive travel. Today, the Fed does not need a president in Minneapolis or St. Louis to tell it what credit markets are doing; markets and payment systems report conditions to Washington in milliseconds. The “regional voice” rationale has become nostalgia masquerading as governance.
Worse, the current structure diffuses responsibility while adding noise. Regional presidents give speeches, move markets, and sometimes dissent, yet they are neither consistently Senate‑confirmed nor clearly accountable when policy errors pile up. Their research shops largely share the same academic priors as the Board in Washington, so the supposed decentralization mostly produces duplication, not diversity of thought.
A cleaner model is straightforward: a single, nationally accountable central bank with a smaller, clearly identified policy committee and a professional staff. Preserve regional information channels, surveys, business contacts, outreach, without propping up 12 quasi‑independent fiefdoms invented to pass the Federal Reserve Act.
If we were designing a central bank from scratch today, no serious planner would reproduce this sprawl. We would not outsource key votes to lightly scrutinized local presidents or confuse blurred lines of authority with checks and balances. Streamlining the Fed, eliminating regional offices and their president is the necessary first step toward a central bank that is both more limited and more accountable.
Interesting defeatist attitude this one has…
Your first point is most likely correct: Bitcoin may not become the default medium of exchange, but it could if people decided to take their money back. Do with that as you will. If you want to bend over to government suppression and unfair extraction of your time, energy, and value, then keep getting railroaded, my dude.
The actual physical cost is a feature, not a detriment.
It makes sense, but your lack of education on Bitcoin’s potential solutions clearly prevents you from considering anything beyond the current system.
I get it… it’s hard to imagine a different approach, but maybe you can open yourself to building a radically different future for yourself and your loved ones.
🎯nothing new to see here, but for those who are uninitiated, welcome to the thesis so well written, thank you friend 🫡
Fix the💰 , then we have a chance to fix the 🌎.
It all starts with the movement bitcoin:native is meant to inspire. Votes have less impact today than they ever have. Where you express your power as a sovereign individual is by how and where you spend your time and energy (in monetary form).
Use your time & energy to shape the world around you into the future you demand be built. Be a net producer to society and vote with your monetary energy.
That gives me confidence we can create the future we all want and deserve, as long as we are willing to put in the proof of work to build it.
Hot take: Universities charge $300,000 for a degree that teaches you skills any LLM can do for free. At some point we need to have an honest conversation about whether higher education is the greatest individuals misallocation of capital in recent history.
I would absolutely lose my shit laughing if Saylor managed to trigger a liquidation cascade by selling 32 $BTC and then ATM’d the living hell out of the common to pick up 3,200 BTC at a discount.
Bitcoin down, gold down, silver down, stocks down, bonds down (yields up) where is the money going?
Beginning to feel like a correlation of one event.
We know what that means.
Kevin!
🚨 It's not just ZCash.
Opus 4.8 also found a vulnerability in $USD that allows for unlimited issuance which could theoretically enrich insiders at the expense of all holders
huge breaking
Good evening.
I’m getting a lot of questions about whether my conviction has been impaired or my thesis has changed about Bitcoin with its recent price weakness. The answer is an emphatic no. Why? Because I like to keep it simple and focus on first principles. While other assets are enjoying the warmth of the hot ball of money, Bitcoin will simply continue to reflect the debasement of all government sponsored currencies over the long run. Nothing more. Nothing less. Hope this helps.
Have a great night.
Bitcoin is volatile for a reason. The path to adopting bitcoin is not a security but instead understanding why it stores value. You will spend 40,000 hours of your life trying to make money. It's worthwhile to spend 100 hours figuring out how to keep it.

Let's be real... It's easy to post "buy the bitcoin dip."
But it's much harder in reality.
But... when the US Gov is literally telling you they are building a BTC Reserve that will become the bedrock of the new global monetary system...
And you can still get one for about $65,000
