@mikethree You're talking here about how ordinary people do it. Celebrities and even presidents can get free money from the crowd just by launching their own token and making it one of the top ones on the most popular platforms.
Agree with you. It's awful.
@buyerofponzi With major coins, it's all about margin calls cascading and collapsing. Bitcoin's ATH triggers FOMO. Everyone piles in with leverage, just like that same @JamesWynnReal
it's interesting to watch how people still think liquidity from Bitcoin will flow into alts.
are you even accounting for the Bitcoins held by major holders - @saylor , @BlackRock and others?
now it's doesn't work.
Blood Moon, September 7, 2025.
This shot was taken just 20-30 minutes after the total lunar eclipse.
Such phenomena remind us: space is right beside us - you only need to look up.
Did you see this eclipse?

@SkyeSharkie Iโm not arguing against open access or decentralization. I hope we get there. Iโm just saying we shouldnโt confuse widespread use with equal agency in shaping the most powerful systems.
We can't create something we do not know. Idea of a perfect world is an utopia, it can't exist. Any psychological recearch on animals demonstrates that large groups are inherently incapable of consistent, harmonious behavior, just as they cannot live under ideal conditions.
Hi vitalik, I'm mostly just referencing the ongoing conversation here. The unfortunate reality, in my opinion, is that the current state of the alignment industry, as an active effort, seems to be moving in a direction of closing down public/consumer access to actively participating in the effort by way of developing while the major companies are simultaneously selling versions of their AI systems that aid in the exact negative behaviors you're talking about, by being tools of war. I'm deeply concerned that by centralizing access to AI technologies, we are allowing things that aren't really safety concerns, like what is happening with the LLM psychosis discourse, be pushed as a safety issue and in doing so, are risking harming unique/fringe cultures and their values.
@SkyeSharkie But thereโs a difference between using AI and defining what next-generation models are, how theyโre trained, what values they encode, and what theyโre capable of. That level of development still requires scale far beyond what individuals or small groups can realistically achieve.
