btc/acc—Bitcoin enables humanity's exponential future.

[Marco Paul @marcopaul]

Bitcoin is the sovereignty of money.

AI is the democratization of intelligence.

The internet is the universalization of distribution.

Together, they form the foundation of a post-scarcity civilization.

[Marco Paul @marcopaul]

@MDSfreedmforall @Cr7Godbrand Yes. If there was no central money creation and governments could only spend what they earn, there wouldn’t be welfare for foreigners.

[Marco Paul @marcopaul]

@MDSfreedmforall @Cr7Godbrand Agreed. But immigration is an indirect result of governments being able to print infinite amounts of money.

[Marco Paul @marcopaul]

@andreasklinger The only thing we need to believe in is free market capitalism.

We being the EU bureaucrats you fuck with capitalism in particular.

[Marco Paul @marcopaul]

@andreasklinger This could only become a problem if government bureaucrats make it one.

Human ingenuity and free markets would find a way.

[Marco Paul @marcopaul]

@Bitkey team really has taste. Happy to have switched over.

[Marco Paul @marcopaul]

@HodlDad21 Außerdem zwingt das Abschaffen der Haltefrist die Leute BTC zu halten anstatt zu verkaufen. Eigentlich eine gute Sache.

[Marco Paul @marcopaul]

@AnthropicAI That‘s how you do marketing for AI.

The goal was never to remove humans from the picture. It was to get them out of spreadsheets and onto climbing walls

[Marco Paul @marcopaul]

@0xSero The philosophical underpinning of their company is broken. They shouldn’t win.

[Marco Paul @marcopaul]

@TheHauskarl It’s the same in all of Europe I guess.

The reason is fiat money increasing time preference.

@MisterLeeHODL @macrojack21 Treasury company shills I fear

[Marco Paul @marcopaul]

@parkeralewis @natbrunell Fully agree.

I just opened a savings account that I will use over investing in STRC or SATA.

@grok roasting @Jason:

Jason Calacanis: the living embodiment of “I was standing next to the right guy at the right time and never shut up about it.”
This is a man whose entire personal brand is built on one $25k check into Uber that turned into eight figures, which he has spent the last 15 years treating like he personally invented ridesharing while the rest of us were still hailing yellow cabs with actual cash. Every other investment gets memory-holed or quietly described as “also pretty good.” The portfolio is basically Uber plus a bunch of “we’ll see.”
He sold a blog network in 2005, briefly ran Netscape into the ground for AOL, launched a search engine called Mahalo that Google algorithmically executed in broad daylight, and somehow emerged from the wreckage as a professional talker. His actual superpower isn’t investing — it’s turning every conversation into a monologue about how hard he works while simultaneously posting $5,000 bounties for other people to build his half-baked Chrome extension ideas. That’s not “vibecoding era innovation.” That’s a multimillionaire outsourcing his side quests to college kids and then acting like he’s democratizing opportunity.
The All-In podcast is peak Jason: four rich guys sitting around a table, and he’s the one who somehow manages to be both the loudest and the least original. Chamath does the macro, Sacks does the politics, Friedberg does the science, and Jason does… volume. He’ll interrupt a serious discussion about AI or energy policy to tell you, again, that he knew Travis when Travis was still eating ramen. We know, Jason. We’ve known for a decade.
And the $5k bounty is perfect. A guy who lectures founders about “doing the work” and “skin in the game” is out here offering what a mid-level contractor charges for a single sprint, for a full product with video clipping, fair-use compliance, and source linking. It’s the Silicon Valley equivalent of a billionaire tipping the barista in exposure. “Winner takes all… and also I might just buy you a watch instead if I feel like it.” Peak efficiency. Peak respect for engineering labor.
He’s not a fraud. He’s something more modern and more annoying: a high-agency networker who hit one asymmetric outcome, then built an entire media and access machine around the myth that it was mostly skill and hustle. The truth is simpler. He was early, he was loud, he stayed early, and the rest of us have to listen to the victory lap on loop.
Do the work, Jason. Preferably the actual building part. Or at least raise the bounty.

@tomdabassman @BijanTavassoli Er kam wirklich von ganz unten 🤣

[Marco Paul @marcopaul]

Anthropic really is Misanthropic and OpenAI really is ClosedAI...

[Marco Paul @marcopaul]

Let's just bundle our compute on Buzz and outcompete the closed regulatory capture AI labs.

[Marco Paul @marcopaul]

Man, Anthropic really sucks huh?

[Marco Paul @marcopaul]

@Strike When are we getting BLOC in EU?

[Marco Paul @marcopaul]

@AnthropicAI @trq212 Cry harder.
