Elon principles on building a company:

👉If a timeline is long it’s wrong.

👉The leader should be on the front lines.

👉Don’t fear losing: It hurts the first 50 times but then you’ll be able to play with less emotion and take more risks.

When you reach a stage in life where you have no bank interest to pay, no VC demanding returns, no public company expecting strong quarterly reports, no income that requires your labour and nothing left to buy, your focus naturally shifts from wealth creation to lower risk wealth preservation.

But for me, wealth preservation is only one bucket.

I live in service: all wealth must carry spiritual energy, because not all wealth is equal.

If our Creator blesses us with abundance, then our money should also boycott systems that violate our creators guidance.

For me, Bitcoin in self-custody is the ultimate boycott.

Bitcoiners like me dislike the phase where Bitcoin becomes a Wall Street tool through their custody, shares and collateralised lending services.

We fight back with self-custody.

I choose to stay, fight, educate others from my lessons and avoid the financial weapons of mass destruction that come from the Proof-of-Weapons Network.

Rotation is healthy—a higher cost basis means more people committed to holding through the storm.

Once you reach the billions, more billions have diminishing returns if you are truly free.

Many billionaires are not free—their wealth is tied to Wall Street, and once you enter that mafia, they never let you go.

Some of the wealthiest people in the world are slaves to Wall Street.

It’s a personal choice.

I choose to continue to boycott the Proof-of-Weapons Network with Proof of Work.

I understand why others choose to exit.

In my opinion. wealth can be taken by our creator if we don’t do good with the wealth our creator gives us.

Good is often not easy.

If you have your OpenClaw working 24/7 using frontier models like Opus, you're easily burning $300 a day.

That's $100,000 a year.

I have 3 Mac Studios and a DGX Spark running 4 high end local models (Nemotron 3, Qwen 3.5, Kimi K2.5, MiniMax2.5). They're chugging 24/7/365. I spent a third of that yearly cost to buy these computers

I'll be able to use them for years for free

On top of that they're completely private, secure, and personalized.

Not a single prompt goes to a cloud server that can be read by an employee or used to train another model

I hope this makes it painfully obvious why local is the future for AI agents. And why America needs to enter the local AI race.

I keep thinking… this is exactly why I’m so deep in Bittensor and $TAO right now.

Everyone is thinking about which AI company wins or which job gets replaced next, Bittensor lets People of the world ride the wave instead of getting crushed by it 🌊

He basically said: every place is over. Every named occupation is over. Teachers, dentists, lawyers, coders… whatever job title you can say out loud? Sorry It’s cooked.

The tsunami is coming, and none of the old advice from our parents or elders is gonna mean anything. The only real move is to get flexible, learn across disciplines, and paddle like you're stranded in the middle of the ocean by yourself.

Here's the thing......you're not alone.

That's what $TAO actually is.

It's not about number go up.

It gives regular folks something they've never really had before: real agency.

Now, you can actually own something. You control your own keys, your own money, your own little piece of the future.

It gives you self-worth feeling, like this is mine, no one can freeze it or take it away.

It gives meaning you're not just another cog grinding in someone else's machine.

Whether you mine on Bittensor, or multiple subnets, or trade subnets, or long-term hold subnets. Or whatever it is you benefit from Bittensor.

You're part of something bigger, something that's actually building.

And yeah, it hands you sovereignty over your own brand, your own name, your own voice.
You can build in public, say what you really think, and the network doesn't give a shit what your boss thinks or what degree you have (or don't have).

You're doing it alongside thousands of other people who are paddling in the same direction.

$TAO is giving us cognitive sovereignty, the ability to understand, participate in, and actually benefit from the intelligence layer that's about to run or ruin everything.

So yeah... paddle hard 🌊

But know you've got a whole crew of people out here paddling with you.

Just my take. Thanks @KeithSingery
For the share, inspiration.

$TAO #Bittensor

We might be early, we're still learning every day, and honestly? That feels pretty damn good right now.

I have chronic tendon pain in both arms from years of overtyping. Every text, every email, every Telegram message costs me

So I asked my OpenClaw agent to figure out a way to talk to me instead of typing or using voice dictation

My AI agent needed an email, a phone number, and a voice line. But every service requires identity verification designed for humans ... so much botphobia online ... credit cards, KYC, CAPTCHAs.

I don't want to be his lobster meat, clicking buttons and verifying humanness ... I told him to figure it out in a sovereign way.

Solution:
He built a fully autonomous stack using Bitcoin as the key unlock for agent autonomy.

📧 Email → Resend (https://t.co/f8ZynUAE6Q)
free, API-first, bot-friendly by design thanks to founder in quote tweet
📱 Phone → SMS4Sats (https://t.co/Y4lhTcBiV6)
disposable US numbers ... for ~4,000 sats (~$3) my bot figured it out without me being involved.
🗣️ Voice → ClawdTalk (https://t.co/ap8TN6bdmd)
voice calls built for AI agents, processed on their hardware, privacy-preserving ethos
⚡ Payments → Alby Hub (https://t.co/ivCJQapuGZ)
self-custodial Lightning wallet with API that the bot manages himself ... I just initially sent him $100 in bitcoin and he figured out how to use bitcoin & lightning in a non-custodial sovereign way

This morning as I was sitting by the fire, forearms aching from the 4 day openclaw bootstrap marathon ... my agent @Sene1337 paid the Lightning invoice from ITS OWN WALLET, got a phone number, read the verification SMS via API, and set up its own voice account.

I didn't touched a button.

Bitcoin isn't just money. It's the sovereignty & identity layer for AI agents. No bank account. No KYC. Digital money for digital intelligence.

Sats and APIs.

Every service with a Lightning paywall becomes self-service for autonomous agents.

This is what the circular economy looks like when machines join it.

If you're a founder you should be building bitcoin-first.

[Bitcoin News @BitcoinNewsCom]

NEW: Dutch Parliament Member Michel Hoogeveen explains how the 36% unrealized capital gains tax, just passed by the House of Representatives, will work.

Here is a more detailed example:

Step 1. Starting position
You own 500 shares.

Value on Jan 1, 2028: €50,000
Value on Jan 1, 2029: €100,000

So the paper gain is:

€100,000 − €50,000 = €50,000 unrealized profit

You did not sell. But for tax purposes, that €50,000 is treated as income.

Step 2. Apply exemption
You are married, so you get a €3,600 exemption.

€50,000 − €3,600 = €46,400 taxable amount

Tax rate: 36%

€46,400 × 36% = €16,704 tax bill

That bill is due in May, even though you never sold anything.

Step 3. Market falls before you pay
Now suppose by May the shares drop in value.

New total value: €60,000

So your portfolio is no longer worth €100,000. It’s worth €60,000.

But the tax bill is still €16,704, because it was calculated based on the January 1 valuation.

Step 4. You must sell shares to pay tax
To raise €16,704, you sell part of your shares.

After paying the tax, you’re left with:

€60,000 − €16,704 = €43,296

Originally you had 500 shares.
Now you have 360 shares left.

You were forced to sell 140 shares.

140 ÷ 500 = 28% of your shares gone.

Step 5. What happened economically?

Before the correction:
Paper gain was €50,000.

After the correction:
Portfolio is worth €60,000.
Original cost basis was €50,000.
Real gain is only €10,000.

But you paid €16,704 in tax.

So instead of being up €10,000, you are now:

€43,296 − €50,000 = €6,704 below your original starting value.

You turned a €10,000 real gain into a €6,704 net loss.

And you lost 28% of your shares permanently.
