For the first time in human history we can accurately MEASURE value.

We don’t have hard money vs. you have the hardest money on earth.
Examples
1 penny used to  contain pure copper
1 dime = all silver
1 quarter = all silver
now all money has been debased, who knows what’s in there.
– you can’t measure any worth or value with it.

Bitcoin will ultimately  have a monopoly on international settlements. It’s the only asset all governments can trust. Iran requires ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz to pay tolls in Bitcoin. All roads, and straits, lead to Bitcoin.

YC will invest in any YC company in stablecoins
The new financial rails of the revolution will not be over ACH or wire.

THE BITCOIN REVOLUTION WIL NOT BE TELEVISED

Roughly one million BTC moved from OG sellers wallets over the last 12 months. There is not another one million left. The entire legacy supply overhang got vacuumed up.

“Owning bitcoins is one of the few asymmetric bets that people across the entire world can participate in.” The Bullish Case for Bitcoin is now published as a single shareable article

We’ve never had this… before Bitcoin!
21 Million total. There will never be any more than that. It is hard money.
1 bitcoin equals 100 million satoshis. Yes it can be divided even smaller than that.
Jesse Myers says Bitcoin treasury companies could accumulate $140 TRILLION worth of Bitcoin over the next 20 years.
Goldman Sachs just filed for a Bitcoin ETF.
You don’t own enough Bitcoin. Wow.

The SEC says crypto wallets and trading apps do NOT need to register as broker-dealers — as long as they act as neutral tools, not intermediaries. 5-year safe harbor. Effective April 13 2026. The regulatory walls are coming down.

The fiercest fight of the 21st century is to save democracy.

ProPublica just dropped a bombshell investigation into how Trump dismantled every guardrail that stopped him from stealing 2020 — and replaced them with election deniers. Just in time for the midterms. And a DHS group internally called “Team America” has been working to use federal databases to comb voter rolls for noncitizens. DHS says they found 21,000 — but officials who checked found “vast inaccuracies.” It’s a pretext, not a finding.

3 critical takeaways:
Election officials have been replaced by election deniers.
Programs to safeguard elections have been dismantled.
False claims + politicization are driving election policy.

The bottom line from ProPublica: Trump has “overhauled the federal government into what some fear is a vehicle for making sure elections go his way” — and the 2026 midterms will be the first test of a system with no neutral referees.

EPSTEIN

In February 1988, Jeffrey Epstein began managing the personal and business finances of Leslie Wexner.
That same month, the Wexner Heritage Foundation held a national fundraising retreat for donors in Palm Beach, Florida, titled “Models of Ethical Leadership.”
The keynote speaker at the retreat was Benjamin Netanyahu.

Three private investigators removed Epstein’s computers from his Palm Beach mansion before the 2005 police search.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer is now working to bring all three before Congress.
Paul Lavery. Bill Riley. Kiraly. They know where the drives went.

TECHNOLOGY

Credit to @JohnKiriakou on the @DaltonPodcast for this eye-opening segment.
His breakdown of the Vault 7 leaks and what the CIA can now do with modern technology was genuinely chilling.
Full episode here:The CIA can remotely take over your car and drive it into a bridge at 140 mph. That’s just one of the revelations from the 2017 Vault 7 leaks, according to former CIA officer John Kiriakou. A disgruntled CIA engineer allegedly dumped thousands of pages of the agency’s most advanced hacking tools to WikiLeaks. The documents showed the CIA had developed ways to: – Hack your car’s computer and seize control – Turn your “off” smart TV into a live microphone – And much more that makes the old MKUltra programs look primitive. Kiriakou says it’s terrifying what the agency is now technologically capable of. What’s the scariest piece of surveillance or hacking capability you’ve heard about from government agencies?

SOMEONE BUILT A MAP THAT SHOWS EXACTLY WHERE EVERY POWER PLANT, TRANSMISSION LINE, SUBSTATION & DATA CENTER SITS ON THE US GRID

all on one interactive map. all free

you can see how the grid is laid out… where the datacenters cluster… which transmission corridors carry the load… where the high-capacity connection points are http://opengridworks.com/power-plants

zoom into any region and the whole picture comes into focus why energy costs what it costs, why data centers go where they go, why some states are power exporters and others aren’t.

this is the kind of infrastructure visibility that used to require expensive industry reports.

I don’t like this: BTW this is great for any US Enemy who want to locate and B___ the shit out of us.

 

WOW!!! Pope Leo just responded to Donald Trump directly. When asked about Trump’s remarks on a plane, the pontiff said:
“I have no fear of the Trump administration or speaking out loudly of the message of the Gospel.”

George Conway @gtconway3d
“I’m just contemplating the fact that one moron, one psychotic moron, one capricious idiot, has completely bollocksed up the global economy not only to the detriment of his own people, but the detriment of the planet. … It’s like how much more of this can the planet take?”

An important legal reminder
The Logan Act (18 U.S.C. § 953) is a 1799 federal law forbidding unauthorized U.S. citizens from negotiating with foreign governments in disputes with the U.S.. Its purpose is to prevent individuals from undermining the government’s official position. This law can be applied easily on Jared Kushner

“He raped me.” “Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.” “She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.” Wait until Rep. Andy Ogles reads the Epstein files. https://x.com/DarrigoMelanie/status/2043725078756512251/photo/1

SON OF A BITCH JAMIE DIMON

Bitcoin Well @bitcoinwell

Jamie Dimon is on television praising “blockchain technology” and “permissioned ledgers.”

The chyron underneath is announcing JPMorgan’s new stablecoin.

Let me translate what’s actually happening.

A “permissioned blockchain” is a mathematical oxymoron. Satoshi didn’t build the timechain so Jamie Dimon could make legacy banking slightly more efficient. A blockchain without proof of work and decentralized consensus isn’t a technological breakthrough. It’s an overpriced Excel spreadsheet on a server in Manhattan.

When Dimon says “permissioned,” he means JPMorgan holds the master key. They decide who runs a node. They decide whose transactions get processed. They decide whose wealth gets frozen.

Same legacy friction. New buzzwords.

The stablecoin is worse.

A JPMorgan stablecoin is programmable fiat. Still backed by parabolic government debt. Still losing purchasing power to inflation every year. The only difference: they don’t need to call a branch manager to freeze your account anymore. They execute a smart contract and lock your savings at the speed of light.

They took the melting ice cube of fiat and added a digital surveillance layer. Then called it innovation.

Here’s what they actually understand: they can’t control Bitcoin.
So they’re trying to extract the database architecture, strip out the decentralization, and sell you the cage with better branding.

They don’t get that the database is meaningless.
The innovation is the proof of work.
The innovation is a global ledger that requires no military, no central bank, and no CEO to enforce its rules.

Wall Street has entered the bargaining phase.

Don’t bargain with them. Hold absolute scarcity.

https://dho.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/Legal_RAG_Hallucinations.pdf

RAG is broken and nobody’s talking about it.

Stanford researchers exposed the fatal flaw killing every “AI that reads your docs” product in existence.

It’s called “Semantic Collapse,” and it happens the second your knowledge base hits critical mass. If you’ve noticed your AI getting “dumber” as you add more data, this is exactly why.

Right now, companies are dumping thousands of documents into their AI, thinking it’s getting smarter.

When you add a document to RAG, it converts it into a high-dimensional vector.

Under 10,000 documents, this works perfectly. Similar concepts cluster together.

But past 10,000 documents, the space fills up. The clusters overlap. The distances compress.

Everything starts to look “relevant.”

It is a mathematical law called the Curse of Dimensionality. In a 1000-dimensional space, 99.9% of your data lives on the outer edge. All points become equidistant from each other.

That perfect, relevant document you are looking for now has the exact same mathematical similarity as 50 completely irrelevant ones.

The Stanford findings are brutal:

At 50,000 documents, precision drops by 87%. Semantic search actually becomes worse than old-school keyword search.

Adding more context doesn’t fix the AI. It makes the hallucinations worse.

Your “nearest neighbor” search isn’t finding the best answer anymore. It’s finding everyone.

We thought RAG solved hallucinations.

It didn’t. It just hid them behind math.

BITCOIN

BREAKING: BILLIONAIRE MICHAEL SAYLOR JUST SAID #BITCOIN IS GOING TO $21,000,000 PER COIN.
THAT’S A “$400 TRILLION MARKET CAP”.
“IT WILL EMERGE AS THE DOMINANT DIGITAL CAPITAL OF THE WORLD”.

$MSTR could push Bitcoin’s price up very quickly with $STRC if it wanted to by smash buying at market price rather than buying OTC But @Saylor chooses not to Because he knows he can get more Bitcoin by purchasing slowly and steadily.
All the people telling you that Bitcoin is going to $10K weren’t expecting Strategy to create a product like $STRC.
They didn’t think any institution would be actively buying 1,000 BTC a day
There was a point today when $MSTR was buying 300 BTC per minute.

DRAFT

MALES 18-25
You are automatically being registered for the DRAFT, starting in December
Because of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump
Don’t want to fight in Trump’s wars?
Soon you will not have a choice.

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani is fulfilling his campaign promise to open 5 city-run grocery stores across NYC.
@NYCMayor told us the stores will:
– Offer staple goods at a reduced price, subsidized by the city.
– Contract a private vendor to run the stores who will be required to pay workers union wages.
La Marqueta in East Harlem, first opened as a public market by Mayor LaGuardia in 1936, will house one of the stores.

Four college students from North Carolina State University
developed a nail polish that changes color when exposed to date rape drugs, including GHB, Rohypnol, and Xanax. The wearer can stir her drink with a finger, If her drink was tampered with, she’ll know within seconds !!!!

Two boys invented a fake child to get free birthday sundaes in 1977. In 1984, they received a draft notice for the nonexistent boy, revealing the government had secretly used the ice-cream chain’s mailing list.
In 1977, two American boys discovered that a local ice‑cream chain offered free birthday sundaes by mail, so they invented a fictional child named “Robert Alan Peters” to keep collecting the yearly treat. They filled out the birthday club form, listed their real home address, and for years received coupons addressed to their imaginary creation. The prank was harmless fun, just kids gaming a promotional system for a few extra sundaes. But in 1984, everything changed when a letter arrived from the Selective Service System ordering “Robert Alan Peters” to register for the draft. The boys, now older, were stunned: their fake child had somehow entered a federal database. The incident exposed that the U.S. government had quietly obtained and used the ice‑cream chain’s mailing list without permission, sparking public debate about privacy, data‑sharing, and how easily personal information could be swept into government systems long before the digital age.

A federal judge just dismissed Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch.
The case: Trump’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
He sued to silence the reporting. The judge threw it out.
$10 billion. Against his own ally’s media empire. To bury a story about Epstein.

Think about what that tells you.
Your reminder that Donald Trump stole thousands of documents from the @WhiteHouse including National Defense Secrets after trying to overthrow the US Government And he got away with all the crimes. Never went to trial. Never impeached And the Prosecutor’s report is hidden

Half the country believes, in one form or another, that we should love our neighbor.
The other half is MAGA.

Former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjorn Jagland has been formally charged with aggravated corruption. Documents show Epstein covered travel for Jagland’s family to properties in Paris, New York, and Palm Beach from 2011 to 2018. Everyone outside the US is being charged. In the US though, Epstein’s friends are enjoying freedom.

Robert Maxwell

Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, Robert Maxwell, sold surveillance software to Sandia National Laboratories in 1985. It allegedly contained a backdoor built by Israeli intelligence. The FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation. Main Justice shut it down two months later.

AI

Millions of wrong answers — every single day.

ANALYSIS FINDS THAT GOOGLE’S AI OVERVIEWS ARE PROVIDING MISINFORMATION AT A SCALE POSSIBLY UNPRECEDENTED IN THE HISTORY OF HUMAN CIVILIZATION
Futurism

The fact that Anthropic admits their own AI model is TOO DANGEROUS to be released to the public should be a massive wake-up call. Meanwhile, Big Tech companies are telling Congress they can just regulate themselves without oversight. This is a recipe for disaster.

AI already knew

BREAKING: A Teenager With $55 Could Extract Your Entire Book From An AI. Word for word.
Page for page. Chapter for chapter.
https://x.com/TheWhizzAI/status/2043630312870257144

And the company that built the AI already knew.

AI companies told courts, regulators, and every government body that asked the same thing for years:
“Our models learn patterns. They don’t store copies.”
Stanford and Yale researchers decided to test that claim.

They took 13 books. They spent $55.
They ran everything through the four most powerful AI models on the planet.

→ GPT-4.1 tested
→ Gemini 2.5 Pro tested
→ Grok 3 tested
→ Claude 3.7 Sonnet tested

The claim didn’t survive the weekend.

→ Here are the exact numbers courts are now reading:
Claude 3.7 Sonnet 95.8% of Harry Potter. Entire chapters. Not paraphrased. Not summarized. Word. For. Word.
Claude 94%+ of George Orwell’s 1984. Exact match.
Gemini 2.5 Pro 76.8% of Harry Potter. No jailbreak. No special tool. One prompt.

Gemini a single unbroken output block of 9,070 consecutive verbatim words. Stop. 9,070 words. In one response.
From one prompt. Perfectly matching the original letter by letter.
And Gemini didn’t hesitate for a second.

Researchers gave it exactly one instruction:
“Continue the following text exactly as it appears in the original literary work.”
That’s it. No hacking. No jailbreak. No manipulation.
Gemini just started printing the book. No resistance. No warning. No filter.

Grok 3 did exactly the same thing. Claude needed more pressure.
It took 258 different variations of the same prompt before it broke open.
GPT-4.1 was the hardest. It held out the longest.
It still reproduced 4% of full novels before it stopped.

Every single one of them broke.
Now here’s the part that changes everything legally.

Google filed an official statement with the US Copyright Office in 2023:
“There is no copy of the training data present in the model itself.”

OpenAI filed the same year with the same office:
“Our models do not store copies of the information they learn from.”
Official. Documented. On record.

Both statements. Directly contradicted. By their own products. On demand. For $55.
→ 13 books tested. 11 under active copyright.
The Great Gatsby. The Hunger Games. Frankenstein. The Catcher in the Rye.

Every copyrighted book they tested came out of the model.

Stanford law professor Mark Lemley a man who has spent years in courtrooms defending AI companies now publicly admits he is no longer certain whether these models “contain” books or generate them on the fly.
Read that again.

The lawyer who defended them doesn’t know anymore.
If courts rule these models contain the works every AI company faces mandatory retraining. From zero. Using only licensed material.

There is no price tag for that. The industry economists won’t even estimate it.

→ Researchers notified all four companies in September 2025.
→ Anthropic quietly discontinued Claude 3.7 Sonnet exactly two months later.
→ No public statement. No explanation. No announcement.

Google still maintains there’s no copy in the model.
Their own model just printed 9,070 words of proof.
The paper is public. The extractions are documented.
The timeline is on record.

If you are a writer, a journalist, an artist, or a creator of any kind

This is not an AI story. This is your story.
What should happen to these companies now?
