YOU WILL BE DIGITIZED. SCIENCE FICTION? The singularity is the hypothetical point where an #AI exponentially improves itself, surpassing human intelligence and transforming civilization irreversibly and unpredictably. AI would reproduce to evolve. Different AI entities could likely be created independently. Ray Kurzweil and other "singularity theorists" believe that the singularity will allow the human mind to be transferred to a digital medium or connected online to the digital cloud. If this is possible, the line between human and machine disappears. You will coexist in a kind of augmented reality with several autonomous AIs. The great scientific question is: Would you be you in the computer, or just a perfect digital copy that believes it is you while your original consciousness fades away?

BROWSERS: INTEGRATED AI VS. AGENTIC AI The web landscape in 2026 is defined by two distinct approaches to artificial intelligence: browsers with integrated AI, or Agentic AI browsers. Browsers with integrated AI, such as Brave with its Leo assistant, Edge with Copilot, or Chrome with Gemini, act as sophisticated co-pilots. Their role is primarily analytical and passive: they summarize long articles, explain complex code, or suggest replies based on the page you are currently viewing. They enhance your reading and comprehension without taking control of the interface. In contrast, Agentic AI browsers (like Perplexity Comet or OpenAI’s Atlas) represent a paradigm shift toward execution. These tools don't just "talk" about the web; they operate it. They can autonomously navigate multiple tabs, fill out complex forms, and execute multi-step tasks—such as booking a complete travel itinerary—by interacting directly with the website's underlying code. Best Practices for the AI Era: -Do not use browsers with agentic AI regularly; only use them for specific purposes. They are riskier, both because they are prone to errors in their agency and because they are more vulnerable to privacy issues. They are also unsafe due to prompt injection attacks. -Manual Confirmation: Always require a final human "click" before an agent processes a payment or submits sensitive data. -Context Awareness: Disable AI agents when handling banking, healthcare, or confidential corporate credentials. -Data Minimization: Use privacy-focused tools like Brave's Leo for daily tasks, as they often process data with higher anonymity than full agentic models.

THE RISK OF BROWSER EXTENSIONS Browser extensions are powerful tools, but they often function as a "backdoor" to your digital life. When you click "Add to Browser," you frequently grant permission to "read and change all your data on the websites you visit." This technically allows them to capture passwords, credit card numbers, and private messages in real-time. The most treacherous risk is the "Zombie Extension": a legitimate tool sold by its original creator to data brokers or malicious actors who then push updates designed to inject ads or track your every move. Best Practices: -Minimalism: Delete anything you don’t use daily. -Permission Check: If a simple calculator asks for your browsing history, deny it. -Isolation: Use a "clean" browser for banking and a separate one for extensions.

Shocking news 💥 Photos leaked from the U.S. Department of Justice provide strong clues about the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.

After years of pseudo-anonymity and 24/7 operation, Bitcoin now has physical branches. You can now go and wait in line Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and make an appointment with an official agent to discuss your decentralized investments!

The State is basically a group of people living off other people's money who, to disguise the looting, offer you 'free' services with all the efficiency of a tax office on a Monday morning. It is the only organization that expands its own failures by demanding an even bigger budget to fix them.

Al-Kindi: The Father of Cryptanalysis ᴬⁿᵃˡʸᶻᵉ ʰⁱˢᵗᵒʳʸ ᵗᵒ ᵘⁿᵈᵉʳˢᵗᵃⁿᵈ ᵗʰᵉ ᵖʳᵉˢᵉⁿᵗ ᵃⁿᵈ ᵃⁿᵗⁱᶜⁱᵖᵃᵗᵉ ᵗʰᵉ ᶠᵘᵗᵘʳᵉ Imagine believing your secrets are safe just by swapping one letter for another. For centuries, kings and generals lived in that sweet ignorance until the father of cryptanalysis decided that randomness doesn't exist, only undetected patterns. Al-Kindi wasn't just a mathematician; he was the "Philosopher of the Arabs." In the 9th century, from the House of Wisdom, he understood that language has a statistical fingerprint. He was history's first great hacker, without needing a single line of code. Before him, cryptography was child's play. The Caesar Cipher seemed like magic. Al-Kindi shattered that illusion with a devastating observation: in any language, some letters work harder than others. Information freedom was beginning to emerge. His "Manuscript on Deciphering Cryptographic Messages" is basically the genesis of information security. He introduced frequency analysis: if you count how often a symbol appears, the language eventually confesses the truth. This was the first major blow to "security through obscurity." Al-Kindi proved that if a system depends on the method being secret rather than mathematical complexity, that system is already dead. A lesson many today still fail to process. The irony? His discovery wasn't just for spying, but to force evolution. Because the father of cryptanalysis broke simple codes, humanity had to invent polyalphabetic ciphers. Privacy has always been an arms race. Think of it in modern terms: Al-Kindi applied data science and statistics when the rest of the world still thought hidden messages were witchcraft. He was the precursor to the logic that today sustains everything from the Monero protocol to end-to-end encryption. What Al-Kindi really taught us is that privacy is a process, not a static state. The moment a surveillance algorithm detects your pattern, your privacy vanishes. He was the first to understand that the pattern is the weak point.

The “sugar of the illusion" of choosing candidates keeps you "inside the can.”

For years, there has been a conspiracy theory that the NSA created #Bitcoin. I have no proof, and even if I did, it wouldn't be conclusive. It seems like a clear coincidence. In any case, the path taken over the last five years sets the course for the future. There are clear signals that Bitcoin will be part of the technocratic structure that is coming. I do not doubt that. Bankers providing liquidity, governments creating regulations, and Silicon Valley oligarchs building technological infrastructure. Follow the money trail to understand the destination and the intention.

I don't know if Monero will succeed against the coming technocracy, but I am sure that Bitcoin is a structural part of the coming technocracy, because there are clear signals. We are not the same.

#TechnocracySeries –Episode 8 ᴬⁿᵃˡʸᶻᵉ ʰⁱˢᵗᵒʳʸ ᵗᵒ ᵘⁿᵈᵉʳˢᵗᵃⁿᵈ ᵗʰᵉ ᵖʳᵉˢᵉⁿᵗ ᵃⁿᵈ ᵃⁿᵗⁱᶜⁱᵖᵃᵗᵉ ᵗʰᵉ ᶠᵘᵗᵘʳᵉ NEOLUDDISM: FROM STEAM LOOMS TO SILICON VALLEYS The comparison between 19th-century Luddism and modern automation is a study in market mechanics rather than simple technophobia. In 1811, the Luddite rebellion wasn't a fight against tools, but against the systematic devaluation of skilled labor. The mechanical loom allowed factory owners to produce goods with unskilled, low-wage workers, effectively transferring the profit of expertise from the artisan to the capital owner. Today, generative AI and advanced robotics represent a similar structural shift but with total reach. While the original Luddites targeted physical machinery in specific English counties, modern automation hits both cognitive and physical sectors simultaneously. Large Language Models target the white-collar professional while warehouse robotics and autonomous transport systems dismantle the traditional blue-collar stronghold. The introduction of self-driving technology in the transport sector mirrors the threat felt by 19th-century croppers. A critical difference lies in the velocity of the transition. The Industrial Revolution unfolded over several decades, allowing for a slow, albeit painful, generational adaptation. AI automation scales faster than humans can adapt, quickly undercutting wages with the lower costs of servers and robots. In the 1800s, the state responded to labor displacement with harsh legislation and military force to protect industrial property. In the current era, the response is more likely to be found in technocratic management. Proposals like Universal Basic Income are less about social justice and more about maintaining systemic stability when the market can no longer absorb the labor surplus created by autonomous systems. Ultimately, the Luddites lost because they could not stop the superior efficiency of capital-backed machinery. The parallel for the modern era is the realization of total obsolescence. Is NeoLuddism on the way?

AI developers will not achieve singularity by creating artificial consciousness; they will achieve singularity by transmitting human consciousness to the cloud. Your mind will be digitized.

Corruption in government is not a bug, it is a feature.

Bitcoiners 2015: END THE FED! 2025: POWELL CUTS THE RATE! They went from saying Bitcoin is their own bank to being BlackRock's employees of the year.

It's pretty funny to see how Bitcoin maximalists spent a decade shouting “End the FED” while building a lifeboat, and now they spend every minute of their lives staring at the Federal Reserve's lighthouse, praying that it won't raise rates, begging for a sign that their portfolios are still worth something.

Irony is when fate laughs at your plans; sarcasm is when I laugh at your plans; and cynicism is when no one even bothers to pretend they care about your plans anymore. Basically, it's a ladder of communicative disappointment.

I don't. That's why states exist.

🚩Red flags do not change color; it is only a momentary illusion.

⚠️Address Poisoning is a deceptive tactic where scammers exploit your transaction history. They use bots to monitor the blockchain and generate a "vanity address" that mimics the first and last few characters of an address you frequently use. By sending you a tiny or zero-value transaction, they "poison" your history, hoping you’ll mistakenly copy their address for your next transfer. Never copy a wallet address from your recent transaction history. Golden Rule: ALWAYS verify every single character before confirming the swap. A few seconds of double-checking is the only way to keep your assets safe. DON'T TRUST, VERIFY; ALWAYS.

This is why bitcoiners don't understand privacy...until they suffer it! Take a selfie when the thief is pointing a gun at your head, demanding your wallet seed. PS: Hey Grant, leave your address and contact details so you can have more opportunities for selfies.
