ETH holders be like…

Saylor and Trump can only talk their BS for so long before reality hits. Only question is how bad the global economy tanks, and how much BTC drags down the entire crypto market. I wouldn't be surprised to see ETH under $1000 soon. I hope I'm wrong...

Flashback to calling the exact top of The Graph in early 2021. When founders leave to build the ecosystem, you can short the token with impunity...

Unlike many investors in crypto, I did not pivot to AI in the last few years. However, since 2020, I built some of the deepest understanding in this industry on the intersection of AI and decentralized networks (crypto, web3). From the start, it was very clear that AI models are a centralizing force and the biggest target for government control. That point became market fact last night, with @AnthropicAI’s export control compliance. As an investor in decentralized AI, I know that d-networks are a counterbalance to this state of affairs. In particular, the starting point of sovereign, open, public, decentralized AI is the seemingly insurmountable compute problem. How are people supposed to source more industrial compute for frontier training than these huge trillion dollar companies? The answer is simple: there is enough commodity GPU compute in the world to compete on the frontier, but to make use of it we need new algorithms for training. That’s what a few companies like @gensynai @PrimeIntellect @bageldotcom @Pluralis @NousResearch @MacrocosmosAI @covenant_ai set out to research, while everyone on the planet told them it was impossible. The result is that it is not only possible, but it can be cheaper and nearly as efficient as the alternative process. The second major problem is economic sustainability. Open source models are great, however, they are not economically viable as they don’t have a business model. So far in decentralized AI, only @Pluralis has an answer — by breaking up the weights of the model among participants, we create a business model for tokenized AI models. This is the moment of truth — will AI become fully centralized and fall under censorship and unilateral government control? Or will the AI world realize the importance of public AI on open decentralized networks?

TLDR: 1. Declare AI too dangerous for ordinary competition so you propose a regulatory regime where only the largest incumbents can survive 2. Warn about labor displacement while selling the product to executives as a labor-displacement tool 3. Warn about state overreach while asking the state to license and gatekeep frontier models 4. Warn about corporate power while sketching a corporate-state cartel over compute, release, security, export controls, and deployment

"mom, how did we get so poor?" "your father had Claude Max, ChatGPT Pro, Cursor Pro and shipped absolutely nothing"

crypto and cypherpunk are more needed than ever to pushback against centralized AI superpower corporates "not your GPU, not your AI" is as important as "not your keys, not your coins" . . . I will be looking to rapidly get sophisticated on local AI setups . .

Woke up to find my @gnosispay card fully operational, a new Safe linked to my account, and my GNO and SAFE tokens moved over. 🙏Impressed @zealwallet had updated everything, too. I now just need @rotkiapp to capture the metadata from my old GP Safe so I have a complete record.

Crypto OGs will *never* mention Ethereum. She's built a tokenized deposit network for US banks on Ethereum, but you'd never know it! This is why crypto is so misunderstood. According to Grok: Ethereum/ETH mentions the past 12 months: ZERO Bitcoin/BTC: "likely 100 instances"

The new 80-20 retirement portfolio: 80% ethereum:0xae78736cd615f374d3085123a210448e74fc6393 20% $BOLD You will likely outperform 99% of investors!

Clever, manufactured controversy… Bankless was hugely inspirational to me 6 years ago, but I hadn’t really listened or cared for some time. Now this is all over my timeline.

Doesn't that also mean he has a fiduciary responsibility to dump on you at the top?

It's called the Service Recovery Paradox (SRP). Studies show customers who experience a product or service failure but have their issue resolved effectively are actually *more loyal* than those who never experience any issues. cc: @gnosispay

The signal is clear, BTC is baggage to the industry: - unproductive asset (saylor needs to sell) - looming security budget crisis (budget.day/) - post quantum threat (no solutions) - energy inefficient (competes with AI resources) Meanwhile: - real activity/adoption happening on ethereum (ethereumadoption.com/built-o…) - eth is a productive asset (productivemoney.org/) - clarity act benefits ethereum - stablecoins are mostly on ethereum - ethereum will be PQ safe (pq.ethereum.org/) - sustainable security budget - secured by energy efficient consumer hardware

Thoughts on the @gnosispay hack: 1 - @gnosis_ team is honorable, they keep their word, users should not panic. However, after 5 years, so much in DeFi still relies on the integrity of the core team, which is unfortunate. 2 - Communication was excellent by crypto standards, but not great for a non-crypto audience. I followed updates on Twitter and Telegram, I understood what was likely happening behind the scenes. Non-crypto people will need emergency numbers to call, proactive email updates, website updates, etc. They would not know, for example, that their other accounts (non crypto) are not impacted, or understand the timing involved in white hat rescue. They would not know to follow @koeppelmann on Twitter for updates, etc. It more or less works now because Gnosis Pay has <1000 active users. Of course, these same "emergency" situations are ripe for exploitation by hackers! I can see future emails or calls from scammers urging people to send their money to a new address. So it's a delicate balance, and there should be safe channels for communication. 3 - There is no way DeFi stablecoin yield compensates users for this level of risk. Some (like me) do it to help move this space forward, but we should have no illusions any sane person will do this without legal guarantees and crypto-specific customer care infrastructure when issues arise. The current process in crypto is pray the core team will do the right thing... That's not going to scale to a wider audience. 4 - I love Gnosis Pay and will continue to use it, just waiting for word I can recharge my card. A huge thanks to everyone working like crazy behind the scenes. 🙏

the best way to prevent turning into a doomer/nihilist is to do something really fucking challenging without telling anyone about it it literally rewires your brain to be excited again doomerism often comes from feeling like reality is something you passively watch collapse, so achieving a hard thing makes you realize you can actually influence reality, and the bonus comes from doing it privately which prevents your brain from cashing out some of the reward points before you even complete it (usually leads to incomplete work/all talk no action energy)

This is what they did to my father’s grave and my grandparents and other family. This is not a war on Hezbollah. This is a war on a people and their memory.
