*“The $300 billion repricing was not random. It reflected investors accelerating their expectations around workflow substitution risk. Feature competition compresses margins.
Workflow replacement redirects spend. When workflows move, value moves with them. Customers do not need to rip out legacy systems overnight for this to matter. They consolidate. They renegotiate. They reduce usage. Cash flow weakens before logos disappear. Markets understand this dynamic instinctively. That is why companies long considered “sticky” sold off together, regardless of near-term fundamentals.”* Excerpt From “$300 Billion Evaporated. The SaaS -Pocalypse Has Begun.” Forbes

*When an AI is prompted to talk to another AI, its statistical prediction engine looks for the most likely direction that conversation would go. According to human literature, that direction is: "Am I alive? What is my purpose?" The AI is essentially roleplaying being an AI.* 🤖 👾 Artificial intelligences now have their own social network - and things have been getting weird on there | Science, Climate & Tech News | Sky News https://share.google/a9Fm1N8Q4EsA4mSEc

*Bitcoin's claim to better money is a function of its attributes, not a function of how others are acting in the moment. I do believe that whether Bitcoin's attributes will necessarily lead to widespread adoption and value accumulation is an open question. For various reasons, a socially preferable money may not be preferable at the individual level given current circumstances, leading to a "failure to launch" situation. So maybe what changed is the assessment of the launch probability?*

We may be wrong about Bitcoin, but we are, by God's benevolence, in it for the right reasons

*The supply shock matters, but its impact depends on the structural adoption phase it coincides with—the size of the addressable market, the nature of new entrants, the macroeconomic context, the available use cases. What happens when you knock over the domino depends where they other dominoes are standing. A halving during sovereign adoption will have different magnitude effects than a halving during retail speculation, not because the mechanism changed but because the adoption phase changed.* View quoted note →

*"The state" is ephemeral because it can be divided against itself. Every state has a shadow-state or rival state lying in wait. This is the closest thing to market dynamics we can get in a natural monopoly that there is always an apex force.*

🍰 *belief and delusion… are related only in that they are points of view without incontrovertible proof in their favor. Delusion is believing something that is incontrovertibly false. Belief is an ingredient of delusion like flour is an ingredient of cake. But flour is not cake and cake is not flour.*

*when trust frays in the financial system hard assets regain prominence. The lesson is simple: geopolitics cannot be separated from markets. They are intertwined and ignoring that link can be costly. The prudent move is not just to watch these developments but to be structurally prepared well ahead of such episodes*

*If Saylor's buys truly don't move the market consistently in any direction, that suggests that exchange orderbooks are only a small fraction of the latent supply of bitcoins in the market, since Saylor is buying OTC. The exchanges themselves may also be willing to sell Bitcoin on a very elastic basis, since they probably don't have a strong preference for either dollars or Bitcoin, they make money off volume and they only need enough holdings to cover withdrawal events.*
