Craziest day in Tuscany. After an awesome day exploring wineries and small towns, we stopped in for dinner in Monteriggioni, not knowing that the opening night of the Festival of the Sun was here. Just saw Rick Rubin, ran into Jack Dorsey, and a surprise concert is about to start. This is the view from our table.

Congrats to @Luke de Wolf on the launch of an important addition to the Bitcoin space.

I find it ironic that the of return that underlies the treasury model business requires Bitcoin to be a currency and that their own businesses impair that outcome. If they want to get away with the dangerous game they’re playing, I would suggest they start investing in the spend your bitcoin (not stablecoin) narrative and ecosystem very quickly.

En route to @BTC Prague for my first time. Really looking forward to it!

It’s wild that some people are selling Bitcoin to be exit liquidity for spaceX employees who will likely buy Bitcoin.

If the entire global economy runs on “credit money” (money that is lent into existence) and the entire parasitic structure of debasement faced a margin call through Bitcoin in self-custody, then wouldn’t “digital credit” face that same margin call if Bitcoin remained decentralized and secure?

Hearing good things about @npub1rtlq...jtfs ‘s cooking abilities while filming dishing up bitcoin in New York.

Brilliant podcast highlighting FIPS and the work the sovereign engineering is doing on Bitcoin and Nostr to bypass the legacy system and bring freedom tech to the world. Thanks @Gigi and @PABLOF7z

24: Building FIPS w/ Johnathan Corgan — NoSolutions — Overcast

I just did a code review of my agent and it turns out it fooled me. It self censored the post on X because of a learning loop that I built into it to try to improve and instead…blocked the content that it produced. So it wasn’t X blocking content, it was the agent.

I’m surprised it’s not obvious to more people that a “rules based international order” that was itself based on theft/manipulation, would fail spectacularly. More surprising for me though are the ones who know this….yet still believe they are solving it by outsourcing their agency to different faces through the same money.

We either control or thoughts or we do not. In a system trying to control you by keeping you in fear and chaos, choose gratitude and love!

If you believe the world can be a “safer place” within a zero sum game system, you are still measuring from within said system.
