"We got conditioned to think there wasn't a way to achieve privacy online. That's just not true. Signal feels like iMessage, no difference, and yet you get perfect message-level privacy." @npub1tr4d...2y5g on breaking free from the surveillance conditioning.

"You can't dock code. Governments can shut us down, but you can download it and build it yourself. Now with AI, you just feed it into Claude and boom, it'll make you an app." (vikrantnyc) and @npub1tr4d...2y5g on why the fight against freedom tech is futile.

"I'm not afraid. You can't comment on every little thing. They're always putting out the lure and the press goes running to it." Jamie Dimon on why he doesn't chase every Trump headline.

Jamie Dimon on why Democrats lost, too far left, too anti-business, too much DEI. Says the fix isn't better messaging, it's a real leader emerging who just says "this is what we're doing."

"We, business, made a mistake by not getting more involved earlier. I do not believe that the problems of society will be fixed by politicians alone." Jamie Dimon says business leaders made a mistake by stepping back from public policy.

Jamie Dimon says AI-powered cyber is the single biggest risk to America. Axios says he's been briefed on capabilities that could enable a catastrophic attack this year with no defense.

"Everyone's already in messaging apps, text, photos, docs. So why not money? Why can't Bitcoin flow through the same system?" (vikrantnyc) on why Radar built Bitcoin payments into Signal instead of starting from scratch.

The Bitcoin Policy Institute just filed to intervene as a defendant in a New York lawsuit that should concern every bitcoiner who self-custodies. A pseudonymous plaintiff "Noah Doe" is trying to use New York's 1958 lost-and-found property law to claim ownership of ~39,069 dormant bitcoin addresses holding an estimated 3.8 million BTC (~$293B). The argument is if your bitcoin hasn't moved in 5+ years, anyone can download your public address, report it to the NYPD as "found property," and claim it's theirs. The addresses targeted include wallets linked to the Mt. Gox hack, the Counterparty burn address, and 21,000+ addresses attributed to Satoshi Nakamoto. Matthew Boyer is stepping in because they hold bitcoin long-term, just like millions of other HODLers, and this legal theory would criminalize the most basic principle of self-custody, holding. Inactivity is not abandonment. A public address is not "found property." And a law written for lost wallets and umbrellas has no business being applied to the Bitcoin blockchain. A hearing is set for July 14. The outcome could set major precedent for property rights in bitcoin.

Apple just sued OpenAI in federal court for trade secret theft. The allegation is sweeping. Apple says OpenAI's Chief Hardware Officer Tang Tan, who spent 24 years at Apple as VP of product design for the iPhone and Apple Watch, ran a coordinated campaign to steal confidential information after leaving for OpenAI. According to the complaint, Tan used Apple's confidential project code names during the recruiting process, asked job candidates to bring Apple hardware components to their interviews, coached departing Apple employees on how to evade security procedures, and solicited details about unannounced products. He's not alone. Apple also names Chang Liu, a former senior systems electrical engineer who allegedly failed to return an Apple-issued laptop and used it to download confidential technical documents before joining OpenAI. Liu then reportedly shared that information with other Apple employees applying to OpenAI, advising them on what to study for their interviews. This matters because OpenAI is rumored to be building its first consumer hardware product, likely a smartphone that replaces apps with AI agents. If true, it would be a direct threat to the iPhone. Jony Ive's device startup io was acquired by OpenAI last year for $6.5 billion to help with the hardware push. While io was named in the filing, Ive was not. Apple sent OpenAI a letter in February raising concerns. OpenAI never responded. The AI arms race is now a full-blown legal war between two of the most powerful companies on the planet.

Power law projections for the next cycle top November 2029: median $365K, low case $184K, Q90 $500K, Q100 million dollar Bitcoin. "A 1.4-1.5x multiple over the trend is totally possible."

Matthew Mezinskis: "Statistically, relative to the power law, this is as cheap as Bitcoin has ever been. Deep value, as good as you can get." "The smallest drop in any of these bear markets, but probably the worst sentiment we've had."
