The enemy is once again at the gates. Today is a good day for all Americans who are concerned about the constant erosion of their privacy to speak out.

I'm seeing new trend of requests to add web sites to my Bitcoin resources list. They claim to be educational or provide various services, even claiming years of operation. But upon closer review they're LLM generated and only a few months old. 🚨
Internet Archive is a great tool for assessing reputation!

America just minted the world's first trillionaire and he's an African immigrant.

America is a nation of immigrants.
America will need immigrants more than ever.

BitGo is expanding its Lightning Network offering with a new way for institutions to earn.
Lightning Earn lets corporate bitcoin treasury companies and institutional allocators deploy their bitcoin as liquidity on the Lightning Network, receiving bitcoin-denominated routing fees in return.
Powered by an integration with @AmbossTech rails, the offering comes with the security controls, operational workflows, and governance infrastructure BitGo clients expect.

Interesting new analysis of quantum vulnerable bitcoin from ChainQuery which does a deeper dive into known redeem scripts for exposed UTXOs and discards the ones that don't incorporate pubkeys.

Awesome new Casascius Explorer by Wicked!
This is by far the best one in existence now.

I rebuilt the Casascius collection in 3D: every coin, bar, holographic sticker, edge, thickness, and material, laid out to scale and ready to explore.

This ought to be obvious, but you should NOT paste sensitive data into data formatting web sites! You should assume it will be stored forever and eventually leaked.

Great news for privacy enjoyers; @obscuravpn is now available on Android!
You can install from Google Play Store or Aurora Store, but hardcore cypherpunks should install via Obtainium by adding the following URL:

LLMs, like any tool, can be wielded effectively or poorly.
Companies won't automatically get a productivity boost just by throwing AI tooling at employees. They can easily end up worse off after burning tons of money.
You should use AI like a scalpel, not a bazooka. Be precise.

An unfortunate example of why I've long said not to expect Bitcoin to implement strong cryptographic privacy at the base layer.
Doing so greatly increases risk of undetectable monetary supply inflation. Few folks value privacy more than supply integrity.

AI related equities are irrationally exuberant while bitcoin is irrationally pessimistic.
A prudent contrarian investor would be selling the former to buy the latter.

🚨PHISHING ALERT🚨
Malicious actors are pouncing on the recent Trezor security disclosure to claim that you need to update your firmware. This is FALSE and the link directs you to a fake Trezor Suite web app that will try to trick you into giving your funds to the attacker.

Biological slop generators are worried their job of throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks has been automated away, and their tenure is being threatened by a few matrix multiplications, which can't be socially expelled from academia .

Mathematicians are now sufficiently worried about AI Slop and have issued the Leiden Declaration to outline their concerns and recommendations for how peer reviewed researchers should approach the use of AI tooling.

Many Bitcoiners are upset and beefing with each other. I suspect root cause is the bear market combined with TradFi markets experiencing an AI boom. Folks want a scapegoat for disappointing returns.
BTC could have been more interesting but devs were told we had to ossify...
