We wanted better design fundamentals from our agents.
So we fed them this 162-page pdf on designing with a grid system.
Now our agents use code to adhere to a grid and design beautiful layouts.

Simple, yet (apparently) so hard to understand?
99% doesn’t even understand fiat money is made from/backed by nothing.
Bitcoiners are at the vanguard.
Saylor just utilizes fiat ignorance. Logical.
Save in Bitcoin and gamble (or not) with whatever else you’re happy to lose.
It is rational for Saylor to want to buy Bitcoin himself and sell stonks to you.
The important question is whether it is rational for you to buy his stonks instead of cold hard sats.

Assuming the entire world will figure out Bitcoin is just ignorant.
Would I want to see it differently? Of course.
Bitcoin in self custody is the revolution.
If you don’t like Bitcoin capitalists maybe try to tell more people about Bitcoin and why they should own it.

Most people care about price - less about the philosophical (more important) discussions. At least from my experience on YouTube

If @MrHodl and I ever get invited back on WBD with @_DannyKnowles, at least we'll know it wasn't for the views. 😂🍻

Read @saylor’s essay.
I want all the things Maxis and Fundamentalists want.
Will there be broader adoption without the Capitalists?
Don’t think so🤷♂️
“Digital yield built on digital credit.”
I’m here for self-custody, censorship resistance and digital cash. 50 minutes in and not a word about any of it.
What are we even doing here man.

It’s so weird he is using Bitcoin as capital (money) for business continuation.
What a crazy guy.
BREAKING: Michael Saylor on stage: “Of course we sell the Bitcoin if we have to.”
He clarified he only ever told holders not to sell their own BTC, never that Strategy wouldn’t sell its own.

Apple AI blocked from the EU.
ECB intentionally slowing down Revolut.
…
I don’t think anything changed since the Draghi report. We are still fighting against local bureaucracy instead of competing globally.

PROTECT @Graham__Hancock AT ALL COSTS
Jun 11
Humans have been on this earth for at least 310,000 years. Yet mainstream history INSISTS our civilisation only started 6,000 years ago?
That’s the exact timeline contradiction Graham Hancock has spent more than 30 years trying to unpick.
Graham has sold millions of books and has a Netflix series. All built around one idea...
That we are missing a huge chapter of our own history.
When we sat down, Graham told me that he is about to undergo serious heart surgery.
And, there is a 15% chance he may not survive the operation.
With his future feeling uncertain, he wanted to come on the show for the opportunity to put his life's work, his philosophy and the biggest unanswered questions of human history on the record.
Graham has been very vocal about how he thinks that mainstream science is dismissing and ignoring evidence rather than actively hiding it.
We discussed things like:
- A 12,800-year-old comet that forced humanity to restart.
- Satellite imagery revealing a lost civilisation beneath the Amazon!
- Ancient maps of the world that shouldn't exist…
- The psychedelics that may have unlocked human consciousness.
- Why everything we know about our origins could be wrong…?
What was clear from our conversation, was that Graham isn’t afraid to go against the grain and challenge the official narrative.
Whether you agree with his conclusions or not, I think there's something valuable about opening your mind in a way that’s just driven curiosity.
As he told me, the most important lesson from his life's work is simple:
Question everything.
So, what if the story of who we are is much older, stranger and more fragile than we think?

My translation:
@saylor is acting upon an underlying thesis he thinks is true into the future.
LIKE ANY BUSINESS.

every single critic of $MSTR is correct if Bitcoin is flat or down over ten years
every single $MSTR bull-tard is correct if Bitcoin goes up over ten years
this is all it comes down to: your faith that fiat will continue to debase and the world’s only permanently fixed supply asset - of which 97% of the terminal supply will be in circulation by 2028, and of which $MSTR will own 5-8% - will continue to appreciate

Exactly. It IS that already.
Whether “enough” people see it that way is another thing.
And also the asymmetric opportunity

Pio says Satoshi's vision is the lowest IQ take in all of Bitcoin
"I can't stand the Satoshi's vision people. That's maybe in my opinion the lowest IQ take out of everything"
"First of all you didn't know what Satoshi's vision actually is, you read one white paper about how it's peer to peer cash"
"Whatever version of Bitcoin that is just isn't built yet, and it's still super duper early"

The vast majority of people still have no idea that "infinite money printing" dilutes their lives.
Diese positive Korrelation hat sich aktuell auch erledigt... 🤷♂️

This is the sort of article that can lose a media publication's credibility. Fast.
In a truly embarassing effort from Switzerland's public broadcaster @swissinfo_en just claimed a long-debunked claim that "Bitcoin emits a lot of energy per transaction"
For the record, no it doesn't. Bitcoin resource use comes through mining, not transactions (getting this wrong is a rookie error). It was debunked 4 times in peer reviewed papers (Masanet et al, 2019, Dittmar et al. 2019, Sedlmeir et al, 2020, and Sai and Vraken, 2023.)
That's why no reputable mainstream media companies make this claim any more.
Oops.
Imagine having done so little research on your article that you
a. didn't know that
b. didn't know that all your peers in the media except you already know that
But the Swiss article gets worse. The author mentioned none of the actual contemporary research on Bitcoin, appearing to have no awareness that since 2021 there have been 30 peer reviewed articles (source: x.com/DSBatten/status/206179…) showing that Bitcoin is not only not a big emitter, but it is a genuine solution to ending the era of big emissions by:
- Accelerating renewable energy transition (16 papers)
- Monetizing wasted renewable energy (14 paper)
- Obviating flaring, landfill gas emissions, or gas peaker plants (3 papers)
Finally, the article references its own previous copy, an article from 31 May 2025 quoting the non-peer reviewed hobby blog Digiconomist (which Wikipedia expressly states is not a reputable source), authored by Dutch Central Banker Alex de Vries, whose work on Bitcoin Mining was debunked in 2023 (Sai and Vranken)
Source: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
So in summary, what can we objectively say is true about this article on Bitcoin's environmental impact from @swissinfo_es. They have
1. Not acknowledged 30 peer reviewed papers which contradict their thesis
2. Referenced the hobby blog from an author whose work's academic merits are disputed (to say the least)
3. stated the flawed "per transaction" metric which has been debunked 4 times in academic work
Irrespective of your opinion on Bitcoin or Bitcoin mining, this is not a great look for Swissinfo.
Rather, it is misinformation against a technology that has been established in multiple academic journals, by energy experts, grid operators and renewable energy generators as being an important part of the UNSDGs and environmental action.
in short: the sort of article that establishes a news outlet as not a reliable source
Do better @swissinfo_jp @swissinfo_fr @swissinfo_de

Javier Milei: “I thought being on the left was a mental problem. The empirical evidence is so overwhelming that it never worked anywhere, and they refused to accept it.”
“But what I discovered is that being on the left is a disease of the soul. The left is built on envy, hatred, resentment, and unequal treatment under the law. They are very violent, and since they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence.”
