Look, I'm not glazing the Bitcoin "ecosystem". I think most of it is a lot of nonsense. I just think that the reason we see all these AI attacks focussed on technologies at the periphery of Bitcoin now is that
a) Bitcoin Core actually is really fucking solid, so AI has to poke around software that is privileged to gain access to a Bitcoin balance or secret.
b) Bitcoin is easy to dump. Everything is paired to it. It's got tons of liquidity and buyers. All because it's a successful project. Which makes it an attractive target.
c) It's one big bug bounty that you don't have to negotiate. You just take the goddamned money.
I'm glad we're dealing with this now, rather than during the the noise of a bull market.
Saw the Passion of the Christ for the first time. Found it a little gratuitous, actually. It's just Jesus getting the piss knocked out of him for like an hour. Once you see Jesus gore, just know you can break for the bathroom and not miss much.
"Gluing one's balls to one's butthole again" is fast becoming my go-to idiom for when I absolutely knew better, but did it anyways.
"So you decided to keep running Core Lightning?"
"Yup, guess I just can't help but glue my balls to my butthole again, I guess."
Saifedean Ammous' debate between JW Weatherman and Giacommo Zucco is the perfect troll podcast listen. if you want to needlessly raise your blood pressure without actually absorbing any good information, this one is for you.
In Amethyst, if you add "monero" to your Hidden Words setting, it basically hides, not only content that mentions Monero, it hides the posts and replies of people with "monero" in their profile.
10/10 would recommend.

All that hardware wallets did is move the risk out to the social layer, where one wrong click or one panicked moment is just as catastrophic as a corrupted wallet.db backup or a forgotten Core decryption password.
XBT, up to this point, has been a popular alternative ticker symbol for BTC.
Apparently Blake2BCoin now has the XBT ticker symbol on Neoxa Exchange, so it's transformation as a deceptive scam is now complete.
Accuses Bitcoin of being centralized development. Warns we will have tail emission any day now.
They have a leader. He spins a wheel and decides what the next hash algorithm will be.
They rail about how hash is too centralized on bitcoin. It's under attack.
