Bitcoin will likely bottom BELOW Realized Price (~$53k), just like it did in EVERY previous bear market.

Right now the grey Realized Price line has been glued to the black 200-week Geometric MA line since 2023.

What do you think: new low incoming or different this time?👇

Bhutan's Bitcoin mining experiment was a huge success that helped the nation retain financial sovereignty

They avoided IMF debt (and the hooks that come with those loans), generated additional revenue to improve balance of payments, infrastructure, and even government wages

ANNOUNCEMENT: new tool in the enduring mission of correcting false claims about Bitcoin!

Quantum, bubble, environment, and all your favorite Bitcoin myths of the last decade are there, with their fact-based counters - backed up by data and peer-review research

"Bitcoin is a reality, it is a valuable computer science tool as a power projection."

[GrapheneOS @GrapheneOS]

WIRED (@WIRED) has gone ahead with publishing an extraordinarily inaccurate article about GrapheneOS. It presents a highly inaccurate history of the GrapheneOS project heavily based on fabrications from James Donaldson. WIRED failed to incorporate most of our responses to his inaccurate claims.

Donaldson has fabricated a whole alternate history of the project and Copperhead including leaving out the fact that it had 3 co-founders rather than 2. Donaldson lived off income brought in by Daniel's open source project created prior to the company. He certainly didn't fund it as he claims.

Prior to publishing the article, a fact checker at WIRED asked us a long series of questions about the project. These questions made it extremely clear that the article was largely sourced from fabrications from Donaldson despite it not being specified. It's not a real history of GrapheneOS at all.

Our community manager spring-onion (Dave Wilson) handled nearly all of the communications with WIRED. He's a public-facing member of our moderation team and well known in our community. WIRED first reached out to Daniel, promised the story wouldn't be about him and were handed off to spring-onion.

WIRED heavily misled about the article. They led us to believe the article would be about GrapheneOS with little coverage of the history. They repeatedly reassured us it would hardly have any of the content it ended up being based around. Therefore, we had no opportunity to properly address it.

We made a forum post at https://t.co/4m2h5iFBHI which contains an overview of the situation along with the unmodified answers we provided to WIRED's fact checker. You can see for yourself what we provided and that it wasn't anywhere close to adequately incorporated into the article.

After the article was submitted, we received that list of questions from WIRED's fact checker. We realized the article was largely going to be a fake account of the history of the project based on Donaldson's claim. That's when we made these posts:

https://t.co/76lCB688Zm
https://t.co/sDQNYdKpQR

A small portion of our response to those questions was incorporated, but not most of it. There's also more we weren't asked about which we can now see is in the article. We tried to address that at in the initial overview at https://t.co/4m2h5iFBHI prior to the submitted answers.

Bitcoin’s quantum defenses are progressing fast.

In the last 2 days, two major quantum-related updates came out for Bitcoin.

One prototype lets users recover their funds if quantum computers break current signatures.

Another proposal shows Bitcoin transactions can be made quantum-safe without changing the protocol.

Nigeria is ranked #1 in global USDT and USDC ownership.

Not the US. Not the UK. Not Singapore.

Nigeria.

59% of Nigerian crypto users hold USDT. 48% hold USDC. More than any other country surveyed. India is third. Brazil close behind.

The reason is obvious once you see it: in countries where local currency loses 20–40% of value annually, stablecoins aren't a crypto product. They're a savings account. A dollar-denominated store of value that doesn't require a US bank account.

Here's what the data doesn't show: most of those stablecoin holders can't use their USDT to buy anything.

No merchant acceptance. No subscription billing. No automatic payment. No way to pay a supplier. They hold the dollars. They can't spend the dollars. They convert back to fiat every time they need to transact.

The gap between stablecoin adoption and stablecoin utility is most visible not in San Francisco or Singapore. It's in Lagos, Jakarta, São Paulo.

$308B in circulation. The people who need stablecoin commerce most have the fewest tools to access it.

That's not a distribution problem. That's an infrastructure problem. The rails exist everywhere. The billing layer doesn't exist anywhere.

That's who we're building for.

🚨 Georgia House Governmental Affairs CENSORED my Dominion backdoor public testimony—10 seconds SLICED OUT mid-sentence!

That's the EXACT part exposing the truth they wanted hidden. Timestamps prove it. Everyone in the room heard it. ON RECORD.

So I recovered the full audio, watch and listen to what someone doesn't want to be ON NOTICE of.

WHO ORDERED THE CUT???

🤯BREAKING: Alibaba just proved that AI Coding isn't taking your job, it's just writing the legacy code that will keep you employed fixing it for the next decade. 🤣

Passing a coding test once is easy. Maintaining that code for 8 months without it exploding? Apparently, it’s nearly impossible for AI.

Alibaba tested 18 AI agents on 100 real codebases over 233-day cycles. They didn't just look for "quick fixes"—they looked for long-term survival.

The results were a bloodbath:

75% of models broke previously working code during maintenance.

Only Claude Opus 4.5/4.6 maintained a >50% zero-regression rate.

Every other model accumulated technical debt that compounded until the codebase collapsed.

We’ve been using "snapshot" benchmarks like HumanEval that only ask "Does it work right now?"

The new SWE-CI benchmark asks: "Does it still work after 8 months of evolution?"

Most AI agents are "Quick-Fix Artists." They write brittle code that passes tests today but becomes a maintenance nightmare tomorrow. They aren't building software; they're building a house of cards.

The narrative just got honest: Most models can write code. Almost none can maintain it.

🚨 BREAKING: Someone just rebuilt the entire AI assistant stack in Zig.

It's called NullClaw. The binary is 678 KB. It uses ~1 MB of RAM. It boots in under 2 milliseconds.

No runtime. No VM. No framework. No garbage collector. Just raw Zig.

Here's why this is absurd:

→ OpenClaw needs a $599 Mac Mini and 1 GB+ RAM
→ NanoBot needs 100 MB+ RAM and Python
→ PicoClaw needs 10 MB RAM and Go

NullClaw runs on a $5 board with 1 MB of RAM.

Same functionality. 0.1% of the resources.

Here's what's packed into that 678 KB:

→ 22+ AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, DeepSeek, Groq, etc.)
→ 13 chat channels (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, iMessage, IRC)
→ 18+ built-in tools
→ Hybrid vector + keyword memory search
→ Multi-layer sandboxing (Landlock, Firejail, Docker)
→ Hardware peripheral support (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, STM32)
→ MCP, subagents, streaming, voice, the full stack

Here's the wildest part:

Every subsystem is a vtable interface. Swap any provider, channel, tool, memory backend, or runtime with a config change. Zero code changes.

It even encrypts your API keys with ChaCha20-Poly1305 by default.

2,738 tests. ~45,000 lines of Zig. Zero dependencies beyond libc.

100% Open Source. MIT License.

🚨MUAMMAR GADDAFI’S SON SAIF AL-ISLAM GADDAFI ASSASSINATED

Who did it? Our sources on the ground in Libya told us that they suspect that British intelligence used local proxies to assassinate the man seen by many as the one who could reunite Libya, 15 years after NATO bombed Libya into a failed state during their campaign to kill Muammar Gaddafi.

We also know that France has deep motives in Libya, we know from Wikileaks cables that France wanted a ‘greater share in Libya’s oil production’ in 2011, and Sarkozy was negotiating to reserve as much as 35% of Libya’s oil production.

We know that the US, UK, and France feared Muammar Gaddafi’s plan for a pan-African Gold Dinar currency, as well as his promoting of pan-African unity, a legacy inherited by Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi.

Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi spent years campaigning across Libya to stand in perpetually postponed elections, and was seen by many as the most likely candidate to win any Presidential election. He even had support from tribes that originally fought against his father in 2011.

Watch now as the US, UK, and France start to steamroll ahead with the long-delayed elections in Libya, now that the one leading candidate who would have united Libya, and not followed their orders to allow Libya to be a de facto colony that is perpetually looted for its oil reserves, is now dead.
