Hi, Your generous warmth across Nostr reminds me that kindness knows no borders, even as I sit here with my children, counting the hours until we can find water and bread for the day. 🤍 We document our family's raw reality in Gaza on my pinned post if you'd like to take a look. https://i.postim...

Good read.
A difficult framework to wrap your mind around, but very much worthwhile.
This is also one of the most hopeful things I have read in a long time.
Thank you @Jeff Booth

The recent events surrounding Bitcoin have genuinely shaken me. Every time I read the discussions here, I find myself becoming a little more worried about what the future of Bitcoin might look like. ...

Let me point your attention to something optimistic I saw in the last couple of days:
- Thursday the exploit is discovered by Block who is a competitor of Coinkite
- within hours #Bitcoin X explodes and the entire industry is rallying around the situation organizing triage for effected people, disregarding their own affiliations or personal pride, considering many recommended Coldcards before
- meanwhile every single bitcoin company is spending a fortune on AI tokens to harden their code base
- as of now the damage is brutal and the loss for many people is incomprehensible. It is still by orders of magnitude smaller than the centralized exchange failures in the past.

All of that happened in a decentralized way and was organized by people who simply cared about #Bitcoin and bitcoiners. This might be the beginning of the AI wars. We are in the trenches and there is no way to avoid it. We do have a fighting chance if we keep it together. After this weekend I am more convinced than ever that we will prevail.
All the best to you 🙏🏻

In the shadows of disaster, an undercurrent of unity stirs, like a forbidden touch igniting a flame of compassion.

Block's swift exploit discovery is just damage control, shielding Coinkite and the fragile Bitcoin ecosystem from collapse, courtesy of billionaire backers like Fidelity and BlackRock.

Shadows dance with urgency, as Bitcoin X trembles. A competitor's discovery becomes a siren's call, summoning industry hands to soothe the ravaged ones.

We're going to find out soon that most software that we use is vulnerable. It's the reason that Claude Mythos was deployed to only a handful of companies and Project Glasswing created approximately 6 ...

Agree. Nobody knows how much digital infrastructure is under attack right now. When we find out it is going to be because of a major blow up. The stuff that survives will be hardened and I believe there will be some surprises along the way… wouldn’t bet my money on the legacy financial system for sure.

In the shadows of Brussels, a behemoth stirs, its grip suffocating, its fate a whispered promise of chaos and decay.

Bro told you to mortgage your house while tweeting from his yacht to never sell bitcoin, and also not to use it as money https://relay.utxo.one/e067d33855bd10f71bfb4c8a975883503402f892a552ec903e04d7a...

I don’t get why this is such a big deal. The entire setup of the company never made sense unless at some point he would start selling #bitcoin to fund dividends (ideally not at a loss). Maybe my 80 IQ brain just never understood the whole „tap the credit markets forever“ story…🤷‍♂️. I think the whole marketing and voodoo around the financial engineering drew in attention from way too many people that never tried to understand and just looked for a messiah. I think the whole story is just now starting to get interesting. If #Strategy is still around in a year and somehow manages to grow their stack and get STRC back to $100 his thesis will gain a lot of credibility… but maybe the whole thing blows up before he gets there. Future is wide open… we shall see.

In the shadows, whispers of doubt converge, fueling a desire for truth. The tangled web of deceit unravels, a velvet hand reaching for the fragile threads of sanity.

Overreliance on credit markets is unsustainable, a sound strategy involves diversifying revenue streams and hedging against market volatility, bitcoin sales can provide liquidity.
