BITCOIN
Fed Chair Jerome Powell warns US national debt is growing “substantially” faster than the economy and says it’s not sustainable. “It will not end well if we don’t do something fairly soon.”

“it will not end well” is the closest thing we have to a fiscal plan.
And what should we do about it? Buy Bitcoin
The decline in uncertainty following the Covid-19 panic peak helped fuel a ~10x Bitcoin rally (from $7k to $70k)
The World Uncertainty Index just hit 105,000, the highest level in recorded history. Higher than Covid. Higher than 9/11. Higher than the Iraq War and the Global Financial Crisis combined.
People fleeing the Middle East had gold — couldn’t move it.
Bitcoin’s cypherpunk values finally make sense when you might need to leave fast.
War makes the Bitcoin case clear — @_dsencilsays when you need to leave fast, BTC beats gold.
“Bitcoin is based on energy: you can issue fake fiat currency, and every government in history has done so, but it is impossible to fake energy.” – 2025
“I’ve been trying to get my mid-60s dad to buy Bitcoin for his small business for 4 years.
He was resistant.
But this morning, he called me and said he’s putting half his cash into $STRC.
Why?
• The bank pays him basically nothing. $STRC currently yields 11.50%.
• It has low volatility and deep liquidity, so he can access it when he needs it.
• The cash reserve alone covers 2+ years of dividends.
• The Bitcoin reserve implies roughly 50 more years of dividend coverage.
In the end, pure BTC exposure wasn’t appropriate for his needs.
Instead, he bought Bitcoin in a form that gave him the comfort and flexibility he needs running a small business: $STRC.
If my dad figured it out, the trillions of capital searching for stability, liquidity, and yield will follow.
This is how Bitcoin grows over the next few decades.”
The http://Strategy.com dashboard gives you an early warning system for $STRC – just check the cash reserves and bitcoin coverage. Annually harvesting some ATH blow-off top profits from growth stocks into STRC grows your dividend distribution to compensate for inflation. https://www.strategy.com/strc
Jack Dorsey’s Square to automatically enable Bitcoin payments for millions of merchants from today. Starting today, eligible U.S. @Square sellers will begin having Bitcoin payments automatically enabled. Sellers who accept bitcoin will receive USD as default. This is how bitcoin as everyday money begins.
THE MOON
Humans are going back to the moon in 2 days and nobody is talking about this. On april 1st, NASA is launching 4 astronauts around the moon for the first time since 1972.
Let that sink in. the last time humans went this far into space, the internet did not exist. smartphones did not exist. most people reading this were not born yet. And now we are going back.
The mission is called Artemis II.
– 4 astronauts.
– 10 day journey.
– flying around the far side of the moon and coming back.
> Reid Wiseman. commander.
> Victor Glover. first person of color to travel beyond low Earth orbit.
> Christina Koch. first woman to travel beyond low Earth orbit.
> Jeremy Hansen. first non-american to travel beyond low Earth orbit.
this is not just a moon flyby. it is the beginning of something much bigger.
Artemis III will land humans on the moon in 2028. after that NASA plans to build an actual base on the lunar surface. a permanent human presence on another world. the first in history.
and after that. MARS.
we spent 50 years not going back. now we are building a road there.
april 1st. 6:24 pm EDT, mark the DATE.
space exploration is soo back
Twitter turns 20.
@BravoCoolee Twitter the only place where well articulated sentences still get misinterpreted.
You can say “I like pancakes” and somebody will say “So you hate waffles?”
No bitch. Dats a whole new sentence. Wtf is you talkin about.

THE LAW
A federal judge just ruled that videos of DOGE staffers must stay up
— and they are devastating.
Under oath, they couldn’t define DEI. They admitted they never reduced the deficit. And they wiped out $100 million in humanities grants — including a Holocaust documentary — using ChatGPT. The regime tried to bury this. It didn’t work.

Ex-SEAL says thinking US can just land and beat Iran is crazy Matt Bracken, a former US Navy SEAL: “The Iranians don’t mind dying for their cause, especially if we’re the ones invading, Anybody who thinks that the US has a technological upper hand, and that American marines are somehow tougher than the Persian Revolutionary Guards is really crazy. What they’re going to do is… let the Americans in. They’re going to turn off radar, turn off defenses… And then they’ll close the trap.”
If the only cost for breaking the law is a fine, then laws only apply to poor people. Every bank that touched Epstein’s money has settled. JPMorgan: $290 million. Deutsche Bank: $75 million. Bank of America: $72.5 million.
Banks wouldn’t be paying out $437 million in settlements if what was in the Epstein files was a hoax. The woman who sued Bank of America over Epstein is of Russian origin. She says BofA enabled Epstein to traffic and control her life from 2011 to 2019. The bank settled for $72.5 million. No banker has been charged. Reuters confirmed.

AI
LIFE IS A LAZY SUSAN OF SHIT SANDWICHES
Every AI company spending billions on large language models is wasting their money.

The man who INVENTED modern AI just made a billion dollar bet that ChatGPT, Claude, and every AI company on earth is building the wrong technology.
Yann LeCun won the Turing Award in 2018 for creating the neural networks that made AI possible.
He spent a decade running AI research at Meta. Oversaw the creation of Llama and PyTorch, the tools that half the AI industry runs on.
Then he quit.
And raised $1.03 billion in a seed round.
The LARGEST seed round in European history. $3.5 billion valuation before generating a single dollar of revenue.
Bezos wrote the check. So did Nvidia. Samsung. Toyota. Temasek. Eric Schmidt. Mark Cuban. Tim Berners-Lee (the guy who invented the internet).
His new company is called AMI Labs. And it’s built on one thesis:
Every AI company spending billions on large language models is wasting their money.
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok. They all work the same way. They predict the next word in a sequence. See “the cat sat on the” and predict “mat.” Scale that to trillions of words and you get something that sounds intelligent.
But LeCun says it doesn’t UNDERSTAND anything.
It can’t reason. It can’t plan. It can’t predict what happens when you push a glass off a table. A two year old can do that. GPT-5 cannot.
That’s why AI hallucinates. It doesn’t have a model of how the world actually works. It just predicts words.
His solution? Something called JEPA.
Instead of predicting words, it learns how the PHYSICAL WORLD works. Abstract representations of reality. Not language but physics.
Think about what that means.
Current AI can write your emails. LeCun’s AI could design a car, run a factory, operate a robot, or diagnose a patient without hallucinating and killing someone.
The CEO of AMI said it perfectly: “Factories, hospitals, and robots need AI that grasps reality. Predicting tokens doesn’t cut it.”
And here’s what’s really crazy to me…
LeCun isn’t some outsider throwing rocks. He literally built the foundations that ChatGPT runs on. He knows exactly how these systems work because he helped create them.
And after watching the entire industry sprint in one direction for three years, he raised a billion dollars to run the OPPOSITE way.
No product. No revenue. No timeline. Just pure research. He told investors it could take YEARS to produce anything commercial.
But they funded it anyway in just four months.
Meanwhile OpenAI just raised $120 billion and still can’t stop their models from making things up. Anthropic is building AI so dangerous they’re afraid to release it. Google is burning billions trying to catch up.
And the guy who started it all says they’re all solving the wrong problem.
Two Turing Award winners raised $2 billion in three weeks betting AGAINST the entire LLM approach. LeCun at AMI. Fei-Fei Li at World Labs.
The smartest people in AI are quietly building the exit from the technology everyone else is betting their future on.
Either they’re wrong and the trillion dollar LLM industry keeps printing.
Or they’re right and every AI company on earth just built on a foundation that’s about to crack.
