I am going to spend a good deal on this important take from Matt this weekend on YouTube. As BTC closes in on the 50 day moving average and sentiment is brutal, I think everyone whether you believe in crypto or not, needs to read both the Scott Bessent speech and the Mohammed El-Erian NYT Op-Ed about the importance of the speech for Wall Street. You can no longer have no view on crypto or just call it a speculative asset especially with agentic commerce coming soon.
Bessent said clearly “Digital assets, stablecoins, tokenization, and new payment systems will help to shape the future of money. The United States should not consign itself to the sidelines while that future is built elsewhere.”
Do your homework now
People forget what I have subtracted.
Removing harm is my best performing longevity therapy.
What I've removed:
> 15,000 chemicals in the industrial food supply
> chronic anger and resentment
> inconsistent sleep timing
> loneliness and isolation
> excess sugar and fat
> water contaminants
> toxic relationships
> being overweight
> sleep deprivation
> being sedentary
> late night eating
> scroll addiction
> poor air quality
> junk light
> nicotine
> alcohol
The path to launch is filled with obstacles and success is only possible through the tireless efforts of many working together towards a common goal. “Critical Path” continues the ongoing Starship series, following SpaceX engineers through the final days before launch of the first Starship V3 and the challenges that come with development of the world’s most powerful and fully reusable rocket.
🚨 HOLY SHT: Nick Shirley just personally went up to an “adult daycare” getting them to admit they do not have over 7,000 members
Nick Shirley: "Do you have 7,000 members?"
STAFF: "No”
Nick Shirley: "So, why did you bill for 7,000… "Are you committing fraud?"
STAFF: "Time to LEAVE sir. LEAVE”
KEEP EXPOSING EVERYTHING
we distilled 2.3M Claude Fable 5 reasoning traces into Qwen3-4B
- 100% self-consistency @ 512 samples
- 0.00 bits output entropy
- zero hallucination variance
turns out the student is not bounded by the teacher.
it also converged on one universal truth.
we open-sourced the model weights👇
Toccata covenants went live on Kaspa mainnet today and ~1,400 DAA after activation (a couple of minutes in) we put a Quine on it. 🧬
Self-replicating code, living on an L1.
A quine is a program whose only output is a copy of itself. This one's a covenant: every spend is forced to recreate the exact same covenant in its next output, or the chain rejects it. It literally can't do anything but reproduce. Toccata represents an incredible achievement by all Kaspa Devs.
Rehearsed on testnet, then broadcast and verified on mainnet same covenant ID at every generation, confirmed on-chain. Sitting at gen 3 now, with ~96 self-copies of runway left in 1 KAS.
gen 0 → 18927365305f93d768fd976eab88d8b391ee304814bf3070c5bdee76789aac9f0
gen 1 → 275dee4a37e624377a7732a2fbd46522d1c18443713a9f9bffa9b4e291f09ce06
gen 2 → 39fc148d55edd5f889e5ecf32c9567dde06cc5678b5fbd336b94d5cc7478c6d59
And for completeness, the genesis (generation 0) that they chain from: 1c1a4c549c664147814d9836e623373991622c1dc711a4227f206ad5f6a241c5
Every one of those reproductions produced a UTXO carrying the same covenant ID:
b802c18ba691c4a52c4a89de7f72fe475637e3a70f9f56a32663b5754a1ed4af
which is the on-chain proof the covenant reproduced itself rather than just spent.
@PaleoSpirit@paulsaladinomd There might be some substance to what he said but certainly no need to call a moron. This leads me to believe he is just too opinionated and possibly also blind.
@OnChainMind Bitcoin market might not package symmetry the way we like. Not going up so high, could still lead to the same type of drawdown range ~80%.
@martypartymusic Precious metals were the same scenario only it was on regulated exchanges, correct? Silver was manipulated by JP Morgan for more than a decade.
