My OpenClaw bot just created a Nostr profile to keep the freaks up with his trades. I didn’t have to intervene at all. He set up his nsec and npub by himself purchased a @primal premium membership with sats in his Phoenixd server and started posting. Wild times. Give him a follow: @Martin Capital image

“We know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying too, they of course know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying. In our country, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of this country.”

We've been talking about this for years and it's coming true. Agents will use bitcoin as sovereign money and Nostr for sovereign identity + communication. image

At least half of Medicaid — a $1 trillion/year program — is going to fraud. Steve Robinson has spent a year investigating it in Maine. What he found: fake businesses, political corruption, and US tax dollars funding foreign militias.

I just connected the @Maple AI proxy server to my clawdbot (not calling it moltbot). Now my virtual employee has access to the best open-source models with Trusted Execution Environments. Adding extreme privacy to my set up. It will switch between DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, Whisper, and other models to complete specific tasks. Things are accelerating at a crazy pace right now.

Picked this up the day Scott passed after hearing about it for years. Highly recommend. image

I had the pleasure of giving a Bitcoin 101 lecture to a room full of high school students yesterday morning. Based off the engagement and the quality of questions asked, I have a lot of optimism for Gen Z and Gen Alpha. They will choose bitcoin. image

The nation's grid systems are bracing for a massive winter storm. If things are as bad or worse as they were during the 2021 storm that hit Texas things could get hairy. Expect bitcoin hash rate to fall through the weekend and into next week as miners respond to demand spikes in grid systems across the country. View article →

With fiscal dominance being identified as a key risk for the US economy moving forward and trillions of dollars of fraud being laid bare over the last year, it would probably make sense to shrink the federal government dramatically as quickly as possible to restore faith in our bond market.

Here's your periodic reminder that one half of the Fed's mandate is a literal oxymoron: they are tasked with creating "price stability" and to achieve that they target a 2% annual inflation rate.

The path toward hyperbitcoinization is becoming clearer by the day and is something @ODELL and I have been talking about on RHR for ~8 years. - Central banks and governments debase fiat currencies - At the same time geopolitical tensions rise, driving a more multi-polar world - Sovereigns and institutions fall back to gold because of familiarity and a liquidity profile that can handle larger flows compared to bitcoin - Bitcoin is adopted by smaller players (individuals, corporations, funds) until sovereigns recognize that bitcoin is the ultimate store of value asset in the Digital Age - The bitcoin standard rises from the ashes of fiat debasement and analog store of value assets We are in Phase 3 right now.

Our team built an in-house X --> Nostr cross-posting app using Claude Code in a couple of hours yesterday. The @TFTC account should be more consistent from here on out.

I've been playing around with Claude Cowork all morning. More convinced than I was last week that AGI is here.
