I was tired of explaining that $ZEC is dropping more only because it pumped giga green while the entire market was ultra red. So I vibe-coded a site to make everyone's life easier.

The easiest way to enjoy something more is by spending 30 minutes beforehand doing nothing. Scroll reels for half an hour and anything afterward will feel like you're withdrawing. Stare at a wall for half an hour and anything after will feel like a drug.

My therapist once told me: Imagine being bitten by a snake and, instead of treating the bite, you waste time chasing the snake to understand why it bit you and prove you didn't deserve it.

The people getting great UI results with AI aren’t using a secret model or a magic prompt. They know what a great interface looks like, and they know how to steer AI towards it.

Work that used to take a week takes a day, and the quality bar doesn’t drop, it goes up, because you spend your time on the things that matter.

At the end of the day, people that use AI best are the ones that were excellent before LLMs as well. The ones that got the fundamentals right, went that extra mile, and cared about the thing they were working on.

Relative performance tells an even clearer story. This isn’t luck... Trust the process. We’re still so early

I'm always impressed by $ZEC’s resilience. While the broader market bled for most of the past year, Zcash hit all-time highs and is still significantly up.

This is a reflection of the depth of work the team and community continue to put in. Privacy is the moat.

I’m in love with this sentence:

“One of the most underrated skills you can learn is the ability to ignore your mood and stick with the plan.”

an idiot in motion goes further than a genius at rest

[vittorio @IterIntellectus]

you must see LLMs as intelligence amplifiers and their amplification depends on your actual intelligence

so, if your IQ is 135+, with AI you can perform at the current AI maximum and it feels like real magic

if you’re 120-135, you get a good 50% buff

If you’re 105-120, you get a 25%

90-105, nothing changes

below 90 it makes you more stupid

the happiest people i know all prioritize the same three things:

1’ their memories: creating moments nobody else will have

2’ their body: eat and sleep well. move. train hard

3’ their people: finding them and guarding them like your life depends on it

And they say Bitcoin is going to zero...

@GoodTexture I’d also appreciate any books, videos or podcasts you recommend on financial literacy and the power of capital. I did well in Brazilian stocks by following experts, but 2 years ago moved fully into BTC/ZEC. I respect your thinking and genuinely want to understand your case

[Tiago Kant 🛡️ @tiagodetox]

@GoodTexture Fair enough! I’m genuinely curious to understand your view... What do you see as Bitcoin’s specific long-term failure mode: security, declining demand, regulation, incentives, or lack of cash flows? And does STRC reflect a Bitcoin problem, or mainly Strategy’s financing model?

The best times to buy Bitcoin are also the most difficult

[Jack Mallers @jackmallers]

"Crypto" is going to zero. Bitcoin is going to 1M+.

I've been working on Bitcoin since early 2013 when it was ~$50. First it was going to zero because of Silk Road. Then Mt. Gox. Then governments were going to ban it. Then it was slow technology and it was going to be crushed by all of the other coins. Then Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX were sending it to zero. Now there are new narratives. New people that are far too levered, don't understand Bitcoin, but are somehow here to fix it.

Yet, somehow, here we are. A $1T asset.

Bitcoin has been the best thing I could have poured my life into over the last 13+ years. Meanwhile, trust in governments and their ability to stop destroying the people and their purchasing power has never been worse in those same 13+ years.

At the end of the day, my advice to you: the Bitcoin journey is a hero's journey. You kill your ego. You surrender the idea that you're the all-knower of the future, the main character, and important enough to matter to this thing. Bitcoin doesn't care what you think and it doesn't need your permission. You either have the balls to build conviction in it or you don't. You built Barstool, you know this. There is no free lunch. Nobody gets paid to show up when things are easy. Life isn't charity. Participation trophies are worthless. Those that end up getting paid do so because they build something that was simply too hard for others.

Nobody has to convince you of anything. You have to convince you. If you believe in the government and their ability to not print away your purchasing power, sell us your bitcoins. If you don't and you think Bitcoin is an idea worth believing in, have some guts.

Your choice. Bitcoin has been and will continue to be successful either way. It's on a journey of its own and it will be there for you whenever you're ready.
