The reason crypto bros are into longevity tech is because they want to live just long enough to see the next bull market

🚨 URGENT
Two days ago I was contacted by a high-ranking employee of the French Government. After determining this person’s position and proximity to the French couple, I have deemed the information they gave me to be credible enough to share publicly in the event that something happens.
In short, this person claims that the Macrons have executed upon and paid for my assassination. Yes, you read that correctly. More specifically, that the green light was given to a small team in National Gendamarie Intervention Group. I am told there is one Israeli that is on this assasination squad and the plans were formalized.
Again, this person provided concrete proof that they are well placed within the French government apparatus.
Further to this point, this person claims that Charlie Kirk’s assassin trained with the French legion 13th brigade with multi-state involvement.
Journalist Xavier Poussard’s life is also at risk. This is deadly serious. The head of state of France apparently wants us both dead and has authorized professional units to carry this out.
I ask that every person RETWEET and share this.
I do not know who in the American government can be trusted, since this source claims our leaders are aware. But I have more specific information which is definitively verifiable, should they care to reach out to me.
To the brave official in France who did this because they were so moved by the evil of Charlie’s public execution to risk their own life— May God bless you. Truly.

Let all be revealed.

I'm loving this arc of the pope engaging with 21st century themes and offering simple but correct and meaningful advice.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity. The Church therefore calls all builders of #AI to cultivate moral discernment as a fundamental part of their work—to develop systems that reflect justice, solidarity, and a genuine reverence for life.

What I learned from Gaza (& more generally the Palestinian plight).
Some people have humanity but no courage; others have courage and no humanity; most have neither humanity nor courage and only a few, very few, have both humanity and courage.

@zerohedge True.

That is why Bitcoin is based on energy: you can issue fake fiat currency, and every government in history has done so, but it is impossible to fake energy.

If you’re new to crypto and looking for your first role, don’t talk about your qualifications. No one cares.

Just say the magic words to the founders to get hired: “I’m here to make you rich idiots even richer”

@Kinimaethnous I am curious, what are your views on the Greek Melkite Catholics in the Levant? Do they belong to the Greek community? I ask because they’re often forgotten given their unique history positioning of Greek Orthodoxy from Antioch that now aligns w Rome

Your ecosystem doesn’t need more developers. It needs more founders and fully functioning apps with growing user bases.

Take iOS for example. They never focused on hackathons as much as WWDC once a year. The rest of the time was spent on onboarding serious projects to the iPhone to generate adoption.

More cool apps in the iOS ecosystem, more users, more devs will want to build on it.

Focus on bringing the next Uber, the next WhatsApp, etc to your ecosystem (this isn’t an acknowledgment that there are use cases for these apps on Web3).

Don’t focus on Garry the 21 year old dev who Cursored a neat looking app with no adoption potential because it’s his first time at a hackathon.

Forget devrel, do founderel.

Currently the web3 ecosystem feels more like Android. Everyone has an EVM (forks of Android) building copy pasta applications from each other to generate adoption but you end up with fragmentation.

They attract Mercs who deploy the same app to 20 EVM chains, collect their bounty (given to them by a devrel team that needs to deploy awards to show progress) and move on to the next hackathon.

The industry has been running in circles for years like this.

🇸🇾 ISIS BURNS CITIES AND MASSACRES CHRISTIANS IN SYRIA

Since March, more than 1,400 deaths have been documented in Syria as ISIS and allied groups torch towns and target religious minorities.

In Sweida, churches were burned, civilians executed, and entire families wiped out, with over 600 Druze also massacred.

Survivors say, “We are being slaughtered.”

UN investigators confirm mass killings, torture, forced disappearances, and attacks on Christian and Druze communities, while the West remains silent.

🚨 I was just targeted in a sophisticated phishing attempt that almost got me.

But I got the scammer on a live call (video recording below), strung him along, and trolled him with Kim Jong Un gay porn while dissecting his $3k/month malware kit.

Buckle up, this gets wild. 🧵👇

Crypto today is boring in terms of attracting new developers.

If I was a new developer or tech entrepreneur and had the option between AI vs what the current focus of crypto (stablecoins, trading, speculation), I'd probably work in AI.

The answer is twofold:

1. Breaking outside of the constraints that have limited us to building the same things over and over, and I think we're approaching a tipping point where we'll be able to enable net new applications and design space that will be as compelling as AI

2. We need to try and position crypto as just another primitive similar to cloud, mobile, AI, etc... Additive or complementary vs replacement technology. Technology that amplifies human potential rather than competing for mindshare in a zero-sum game.

If you need a place to begin: start by reading Matthew in the Bible as that contains The Sermon on the Mount as spoken by Jesus.

Then if you find comfort in His words, you can attend the church on your own pace. For me, all churches/denominations are just interpretations of men about Jesus. It’s better as a place of community and worship.

It’s only his words that matter, which are found in the Gospel.
