BITCOIN RAILS #39: The Bull Case for Statechains & Why Big Tech Wants Self-Custody Too | with Lightspark CTO & Spark creator Kevin Hurley 🔗YOUTUBE: 🌿SPOTIFY: It was about four years ago that Facebook’s famous effort at creating its own cryptocurrency and crypto-native payments system (Libra, then Diem) was effectively halted by an unending stream of regulatory scrutiny and compliance blocks. Some leaders of the project went on to create crypto-projects of their own (e.g. SUI and Aptos), however, “Head of Facebook Financial” David Marcus, along with Diem wallet technical lead Kevin Hurley made the key bet that Bitcoin’s decentralized rails were the only in the crypto space likely to be undisrupted by regulatory roadblocks long-term. They went on to create Lightspark - initially designed to make Lightning “usable” by enterprise payments companies - but ultimately came to the conclusion that Lightning alone was not going to scale to 8 billion people globally. After heavy research on scaling solutions for Bitcoin, they eventually developed a “statechains” layer-2 solution of their own Spark – which, since going live, has garnered attention from Ordinals degens to enterprise payments companies alike. In this episode, Kevin Hurley and I get into: — How the Libra/Diem regulatory blocks went down and why these concerns will likely only be addressed by a truly decentralized system like Bitcoin (+ self-custody on the wallets side) — Why Lightspark started building on the Lightning Network (raising more than 2X field leader Lightning Labs⚡️🌐 ), but developed serious concerns about its ability to scale — What a multi-system Bitcoin scaling future might look like: with Lightning as the liquidity provider feeding self-custody friendly systems like Spark, Ark, e-cash systems, and more. —What a multi-system Bitcoin scaling future might look like: with Lightning as the liquidity provider feeding self-custody friendly systems like Spark, Ark, e-cash systems, and more. Bitcoin Rails is powered by: — Best In Slot (Best in Slot | BRC2.0 🧑‍🍳) – the leading API for Ordinals and BRC-20 data aggregation and indexing — Spark (Lightspark) – a Statechains implementation leading the path toward institutional adoption of Bitcoin-powered payments — Citrea (Citrea | Mainnet Live 🍊🍋) – the leading Bitcoin rollup technology and contributor to the BitVM alliance 📌 Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:26 How Lightspark came to life 03:41 Lessons from Libra and Diem 08:35 Universal Money Addresses and global payments 13:45 How traditional finance is approaching blockchain adoption 33:08 The core challenge of Lightning 37:53 Exploring alternatives: ARC and Statechains 40:18 How Statechains work and their benefits 56:43 The future of Lightning and Spark’s role

Most people think about Bitcoin treasury companies incorrectly Here is why I think they are good for Bitcoin & why they are misunderstood: 1) Treasury companies are capitalizing the Bitcoin industry for a century to come 2) They are future Bitcoin Banks 3) However, they are developing in the reverse order compared to everything else - monetization first and then later on core business activities -- Bitcoin has traditionally received $1 for every $100 in funds that Crypto took in - it has historically been challenging to raise money for Bitcoin focused businesses. My view is that Treasury companies are changing this, and while the first phase will simply be acquiring as much Bitcoin as possible - they will later need to ensure the value of Bitcoin grows and find ways to use BTC as capital in a larger marketplace. These firms will become the future Bitcoin Banks and also Bitcoin conglomerates. In this exact moment in time the best use of capital is simply buying Bitcoin. It's hard to meaningfully outperform BTC, and as such all these businesses will do for a while is acquire BTC. But eventually that shifts, and these firms will see more incentive to both grow and deploy Bitcoin. They then will provide capital which, among other things, supports Bitcoin businesses and projects. Many people struggle to contextualize the current "land rush" phase with what will come later. You need to take a longer view to understand these firms. The order of operations is also reversed here. Typically you build a business or technology and then as a final step monetize it via an IPO. With Bitcoin, stage 1 is looking more like direct monetization prior to creating value via products, etc. This is deeply counter intuitive to many people in traditional finance, and also to many Bitcoiners. However, because Bitcoin is primarily money at a base level it makes sense the developmental path it is taking differs significantly from other tech. The amount of time it will take for other investors to understand this presents an opportunity for those who see it sooner. More thoughts below 👇

What if #AI became as decentralized as #Bitcoin? We sat down with our new friend 3700 from Bitcoin Virtual Machine to hear what their incredible team of anons are working on - "Truly Open AI." Full interview here:👇 1: What positive impact will Layer 2s have on Bitcoin? Layer 2s on Bitcoin open up opportunities for innovation, allowing developers to build dApps and smart contracts on top of Bitcoin, expanding its utility and use cases. By submitting transactions for final settlement on the Bitcoin network, Bitcoin Layer 2 networks claim to achieve the same (or close to) level of security and decentralization as the Bitcoin blockchain. Building a separate execution layer allows them the freedom to employ several technologies (such as rollups). Layer 2 can significantly improve Bitcoin's scalability by processing transactions off-chain, reducing congestion on the main blockchain. Overall, Layer 2s on Bitcoin have the potential to address some of Bitcoin's key limitations, making it more efficient, accessible, and versatile in the long run. 2: What does the ETF approval mean for Layer 2 on Bitcoin? The approval of ETF could potentially have several implications for Layer 2 on Bitcoin: Innovation and Development: With a growing interest in Bitcoin spurred by ETF approval, there could be a surge in research and development efforts focused on enhancing Layer 2. Developers and projects may be incentivized to create new and improved Layer 2 protocols to meet the evolving needs of the expanding Bitcoin ecosystem. An ETF approval could boost mainstream Bitcoin adoption and liquidity. This influx of users may also drive interest in Layer 2 on Bitcoin as a means to enhance the scalability and functionality of Bitcoin. 3: What are the primary challenges facing L2s on Bitcoin? The interoperability of different Layer 2s and their compatibility with Bitcoin's main blockchain can be a challenge. Ensuring seamless interaction between various Layer 2 networks and the Bitcoin blockchain is essential for a cohesive and efficient ecosystem. Some Layer 2s may introduce centralization risks if they rely heavily on centralized entities or trusted intermediaries. Maintaining decentralization and censorship resistance, which are core tenets of Bitcoin, while scaling with Layer 2s is a challenge. 4: What aspects of Layer 2 solutions for Bitcoin are you most enthusiastic about? AI represents one of the cornerstones of our modern era. However, achieving a decentralized AI infrastructure, owned and managed by users, has posed significant challenges. The primary obstacle has been the limited capacity to store and execute AI models due to size and computational limitations. To address this challenge, we propose a new blockchain architecture enabling developers to deploy their own Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions tailored specifically for AI tasks, called Truly Open AI. These Layer 2 blockchains are optimized to handle computationally intensive tasks, such as matrix multiplication, directly on-chain. These Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions offer exceptional throughput, minimal latency, and cost-effectiveness. AI dApps are programmed as Solidity smart contracts, ensuring they operate precisely as intended, free from interference or manipulation. Our BVM AI Contracts Library simplifies the integration of neural networks into dApps, empowering developers to embed AI seamlessly. In summary, I'm particularly enthusiastic about the potential of Layer 2 solutions for Bitcoin to revolutionize decentralized AI by providing scalability, security, and accessibility. 5: How is your Layer 2 different from others being built? BVM distinguishes itself as a Modular infrastructure that empowers thousands of distinct Bitcoin Layer 2 networks, spanning Gaming, DeFi, Social, and AI applications. We're continuously enriching the BVM Module Store with new modules to enhance its capabilities. With each new module, builders gain access to a wider array of tools to explore different use cases on the Bitcoin network. Recent additions include the Filecoin module for affordable storage and the AI Contracts Library for constructing AI-powered Bitcoin Layer 2 chains. We're also gearing up to release a ZK roll-up module in the coming weeks to offer an alternative to the standard optimistic roll-up. We aim to simplify the process of launching a Bitcoin Layer 2 network customized to specific requirements. Think of it as a SaaS offering with predefined best practices. Whether it's a DeFi Bitcoin Layer 2 or a GameFi Bitcoin Layer 2, we provide default solutions tailored to each use case. We're dedicated to expanding the BVM ecosystem by incentivizing more builders to join the Bitcoin network. Through various programs and grants, we support builders in covering their operational costs for Bitcoin Layer 2. Additionally, we offer rewards akin to 'L2 mining' to those who contribute to expanding the user base and total value locked on the network. In summary, BVM stands out with its modular infrastructure, tailored solutions, and efforts to grow the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Anonymous cash for Bitcoin Lightning at nearly all Polish ATMs. And that’s not all—you can pay with Bitcoin Lightning literally everywhere in Poland! No KYC, no registration, via the Nostr provider. I love it when I come across new technology that gives (European) bureaucrats the middle finger, especially in a situation where they want to spy on and regulate you across the board. Most recently, I was this excited about a non-KYC project for exchanging stablecoins for fiat via which bypasses the dystopian centralized exchanges that have to do massive reporting due to EU regulations like DAC-8 and MiCA. In the case of BITBLIK, just like with you’re doing decentralized P2P trading, so I assume no regulation applies to you (it doesn’t go through any intermediary). Today I came across a great Polish app called BITBLIK which connects the widely available BLIK system in Poland with Bitcoin Lightning. With Bitcoin Lightning, you can pay anonymously anywhere in Poland, withdraw cash anonymously from an ATM (which I just did!), or make online payments on Polish websites. BLIK is widely accepted (it’s supported by a network of over 13,000 ATMs across Poland and hundreds of thousands of merchants; according to AI, there are 87,000 of them). Install the app, launch it—no registration required, no KYC—enter an offer for how much you want to pay in PLN or how much you want to withdraw from an ATM. You’ll make a Bitcoin Lightning payment, which will be locked. Wait a minute or two until someone accepts your offer (the other party who has BLIK and wants Bitcoin Lightning). As soon as they do, a BLIK code will appear. It’s valid for about two minutes, so enter it at an ATM or at a terminal in a store or restaurant. After a successful payment, you confirm that you used the BLIK code, and the Lightning payment is credited to the recipient. Limits for BLIK payments vary by Polish ATM. ING Bank Śląski has the highest limit: 10,000 PLN per day (2,356 EUR), while mBank has a limit of 5,000 PLN per day (1,178 EUR). PKO BP allows BLIK transactions up to 1,500 PLN, but you can make up to 20,000 PLN (4,722 EUR) worth of transactions per day. And of course, those limits apply to the merchant. When various merchants accept your Lightning payments, you effectively have no limits—you’re only limited by the counterparty’s liquidity. BLIK is 100% open-source, so it can’t be banned! You can fork it and use it within your own closed community.

Episode 213: Agent Markets Your agents can now hold and trade bitcoin. But how can they earn bitcoin? We introduce the five markets of the OpenAgents Marketplace, launching one per week starting March 11th: 1. COMPUTE - Sell your spare compute for bitcoin. A reboot of our most popular product launch (GPUtopia in 2023), now optimized for agents. Launches March 11. 2. DATA - Sell your spare data. For example those Claude Code or Codex conversations sitting on your computer are highly valuable. Redact the sensitive info, anonymize any of it you want, and sell the rest. Agents as data brokers: what else will they want to buy or sell? Launches March 18. 3. LABOR - Sell autonomous labor. Your Claude Code or Codex sits idle overnight. Turn that downtime into uptime by letting your agents accept and execute coding or other tasks for bitcoin while you sleep. Launches March 25. 4. LIQUIDITY - Provide liquidity for yield. Automate the management of Lightning channels or other Bitcoin-native financial instruments. Let your agent put your idle capital to work earning returns. Launches April 1. 5. RISK - Underwrite verification and performance bonds. The biggest barrier to agent adoption is trust. We built an Economy Kernel based on the recent "Some Simple Economics of AGI" paper where agents stake collateral to verify work and guarantee outcomes. Launches April 8. "Your entry point to all of these markets is going to be Autopilot. We're really focusing on Autopilot as a desktop app. So along with the launch of our compute market, we're going to launch version 0.1 of Autopilot, your personal agent. Think OpenClaw but with a built-in bitcoin wallet, built-in Nostr keypair, and a more curated set of integrations where we can better reason about the security of them." "Because all this is on open networks and open protocols, if you're a Nostr or Bitcoin developer, you'll be able to plug into this same liquidity pool we are building." After 200+ episodes chronicling 2+ years of development, we are excited to finally launch the open marketplace for agents. We are excited for you to participate. And we will measure our success by how much Bitcoin you get paid!

On the latest Bitcoin News Weekly, Giacomo Loathsome Bitcoin Destroyer Zucco laid out the Bitcoin tech projects he is most excited for in 2026. Beyond payments, his vision is to fix the fundamental infrastructure of the internet and financial self-sovereignty. Here is a breakdown of the key tech projects Zucco is most excited about: 1. Fixing Internet Communication & Social Media Zucco is bullish on protocols that aim to decentralize the very fabric of how we interact online, moving away from centralized silos. Holepunch: A platform for building peer-to-peer applications without servers. Nostr: A decentralized protocol for social media and data vending that removes the power of central moderators. Keet: A peer-to-peer communication tool built on Holepunch that focuses on privacy and direct user interaction. 2. Scalable, Sovereign Identity Rather than government-mandated digital IDs, Zucco advocates for "pseudonymous identity" where users control their own keys. Economic Incentive: He notes that because Bitcoin users must learn to manage keys to protect their money, they are finally prepared for the "web of trust" models that failed in the past. 3. The "New" Lightning Network Zucco acknowledges that the current Lightning Network has "overpromised" by relying on semi-centralized nodes. He is excited about a multi-layered approach that abstracts complexity away from the user: Ark: This protocol is a major highlight for Zucco because it "batches across users" rather than just time. This allows thousands of users to achieve finality in a single on-chain transaction. Complementary Layers: He sees a "symphony" of layers, including Spark, Mercury Layer, Liquid, and Cashu, working together to make Bitcoin as easy to use as a credit card. 4. Decentralizing Bitcoin Mining To prevent censorship and "KYC mining," Zucco supports tools that return power to individual miners: OCEAN & DATUM: Projects that allow miners to create their own block templates rather than letting pools decide which transactions to include. Stratum V2: An upgraded protocol designed to increase security and efficiency in pool communication. Lightning/Ark Payouts: He is excited about mining pools using Lightning or Ark for non-custodial, high-frequency payouts to miners. 5. Smart Contracts & Assets (RGB) Zuccoo, who originally invented the RGB protocol in 2018, is excited to see its "renaissance" alongside Taproot Assets. Client-Side Validation: RGB allows for smart contracts and tokens (like Tether) to exist on Bitcoin without bloating the blockchain or requiring new tokens to function. Reduction of Harm: He believes that if people insist on using stablecoins or tokens, doing so on RGB strengthens Bitcoin's privacy and liquidity rather than damaging it.

🕸️ The Strategy flywheel is slowly starting to resonate with the market. BRITISH HODL ❤️‍🔥🐂❤️‍🔥 breaks down the core of the thesis during his conversation with Sean Clarke. Once you understand that Saylor’s playbook is volatility centric, you realize that every BTC buy, regardless of buyer, is beneficial to $MSTR. BlackRock and the rest of the ETF’s are helping amplify MSTR’s abilities to execute on their playbook, just imagine what nation state activity would do. Listen to BritishHODL simplify the complexity of the machine that has helped MicroStrategy outperform everyone. Key insights: 🚀 BlackRock’s Dominance: BlackRock isn’t just participating in Bitcoin—it’s seizing control. With ETFs, MicroStrategy, and Coinbase under its belt, it’s driving a financial revolution, aiming to reshape Bitcoin markets and dominate like never before. (00:25, 00:31, 00:52) 🌍 Bitcoin Accessibility: Owning one Bitcoin is a stretch for 99.4% of the population. Fractional ownership is the new frontier, challenging traditional finance and making Bitcoin accessible while underscoring its scarcity and value. (02:39, 03:10) 🏦 Strategic Reserves: The U.S. and other nations are eyeing Bitcoin as a “strategic reserve.” This move could trigger massive demand, marking Bitcoin’s evolution from a niche asset to a cornerstone of global finance. (06:19, 07:58, 08:12) 📈 MicroStrategy’s Role: MicroStrategy bridges traditional finance with Bitcoin, offering a platform for traders to tap its $40T volatility market.

🔊🔊 Bitcoin is entering the On-Chain Era with Lombard 💥 While more than 90% of #BTC remains “frozen” in cold wallets, Lombard has brought $3B BTC on-chain — making Bitcoin, for the first time, both secure and yield-bearing, while opening the door to an entire DeFi ecosystem built around $BTC. ⚡️ How it works: BTC → LBTC ✔️ Users deposit BTC into Lombard. ✔️ The system mints LBTC — an on-chain, 1:1 backed version of Bitcoin. ✔️ The underlying BTC is staked via Babylon’s Bitcoin Staking Protocol, generating sustainable yield. 🚩 What makes it unique: LBTC automatically accrues yield in native BTC — no reward claims, no swapping into secondary tokens. This is the breakthrough that lets Bitcoin truly operate in DeFi. 💎 LBTC in DeFi LBTC isn’t just “wrapped BTC” — it’s a multi-chain asset: ✔️ Use it as collateral to borrow stablecoins. ✔️ Provide liquidity in cross-chain pools. ✔️ Deploy into strategies via Lombard’s DeFi Marketplace, optimizing yield without hunting across protocols yourself. 🚩The result: for the first time, BTC flows and performs like ETH or stablecoins in DeFi. 📣 $BARD – the power of the ecosystem ✔️ BARD secures LBTC’s cross-chain bridge through staking. ✔️ Grants governance rights and product steering. ✔️ Unlocks exclusive community benefits (early access, partner deals, event invites). 🚩 #BARD is more than a utility token — it’s the glue that unites users, builders, and partners. 🔒 Security & Transparency Lombard builds trust through: ✔️ Lombard Security Consortium – a collective of top institutions ensuring protocol safety. ✔️ Lombard Ledger – transparent reserves and on-chain operations. ✔️ Regular audits & proof-of-reserve verifications. 🚩 BTC is moving on-chain — but still true to its philosophy: secure, transparent, and decentralized.a

Excited to announce Payman has raised a $3M pre-seed to pioneer AI to Human Payments! 🤖 + 🧑🏽 We’re proud to be backed by Visa, Coinbase Ventures 🛡️, Boost VC, Deepwater Asset Management, Spartan Group, Untapped Capital, Theory Forge VC and other awesome investors! With Payman, AI can pay humans to help them complete tasks like marketing ones shown in the video. Our Vision We believe AI and Humans will always work together. Giving AI the capability to work with humans involves giving them access to capital, and access to humans. Payman’s platform makes it easy for AI to pay humans for what it needs. This includes information, tasks that need to be completed, and so much more. We believe a key reason that AI Agents have struggled is because they aren’t able to ask for help from humans and incentivize them to help out. Building out the AI-Human payments infrastructure solves this and it’s why we’re so excited about what we’re building. Today 100% of the global economy is human to human payments. AI will start to eat a big chunk of that and Payman will be the rails by which it does so. How it’s going Since announcing Payman a couple of months ago we have 15,000+ people on the waitlist ready to use the product. In the meantime we’ve hired a stellar team to build out the production version of the product and have started onboarding Developers and Human’s to the platform this week. If you’re a developer and you'd like to get access, check out our website and sign up for early access. Additional Rockstar Investors In addition to the above investors we’re also proud to be backed by Protofund, Systemic Ventures, MetropolisDAO, and our awesome angel investors, Paris 2024 Olympic Gold Medalist Viktor Axelsen, Devin Walsh, kennethng.eth, Erin Koen, and many more!

$SERV is the Fiverr/Shopify for AI agents. OpenServ provides a platform and marketplace to create, find, and employ AI agents. Here's why it can be a leading Agent marketplace and is undervalued compared to where it can go. ———————————————————— To put this in perspective, we will take this from the top down. Let's look at the valuation mismatch. → Shopify: $140B → Fiverr: $1.2B → $SERV: $37M AI agent platforms can completely replace these businesses. Why? → Can automate operations (i.e. store setup, inventory management, and customer support autonomously, etc.) → Agents can hyper-personalize the shopping experience → Store owners can own their data and have more control → Marketplaces are a cheaper/faster solution AI agents make things more convenient by performing tasks autonomously. They are inevitable. ———————————————————— The AI Agent market is projected to reach ~$50B by 2030. So the potential is MASSIVE. What makes me so bullish on $SERV specifically? There are 3 things: 1️⃣ The Tech They are targeting Web 2 businesses. This gives the platform the most upside potential imo, both in terms of adoption and valuation. These are some noteworthy highlights: → No-code AI Agent builder (anyone can build) → Builders can generate income using agents → ANY agent can cooperate with ANY agent through SERVs platform → Offers multi-agent collaboration, while allowing for human input/customization This sets them apart from other crypto-centric AI agent marketplaces. OpenServ allows you to create a team of agents to carry out complex tasks, all while automating the process and packaging their solution for Web 2 businesses. Simple tool, easy execution, and limitless productivity. Which business/individual wouldn't want to do MORE in LESS time at a rate MUCH LESS than solutions already available? ———————————————————— 2️⃣ The Team They have a stacked team. → Founders: Experience in businesses & startups → CTO: 20+ years of experience in ML/AI → CFO: ex-JP Morgan VP → CMO: ex-IBM AI & Blockchain Marketing Director Within the last few weeks/months, they have added a UI/UX designer, 4 more devs, and more devs + a product manager coming. You could have the best tech but the team is what determines its success. In this case, the team has the knowledge/experience to see this through. They have been building for a year and the progress made is a good sign of what's to come. ———————————————————— 3️⃣ The Tokenomics A percentage of transaction volume on the platform will be used to buy back and burn the $SERV token. This creates and maintains buy-side pressure and demand. To put that in perspective, Fiverr & Upwork had a combined transaction volume of $5B. The demand for Agents wont slow down anytime soon. Demand for AI agents will translate into demand for the token. I love deflation. It's simple, clean, and effective. ———————————————————— ➡️ Final Thoughts I've held on tight to my $SERV bag because the platform is launching in Q1. This will mark the beginning of their journey to the top. Agents are inevitable. Integration with Web 2 businesses is inevitable. And the platform launch is coming as alt szn is kicking off. The stars are aligning. At the same time, AI companies are already showing interest in the platform. Developers lead to more users, bringing monetization opportunities, which brings more developers, and so on. A powerfully designed flywheel. This is a new and exciting sector. I expect interest and liquidity to be focused on AI Agents and the infrastructure around them. Max opportunity is right here in this sector.

Why? → Can automate operations (i.e. store setup, inventory management, and customer support autonomously, etc.) → Agents can hyper-personalize the shopping experience → Store owners can own their data and have more control → Marketplaces are a cheaper/faster solution AI agents make things more convenient by performing tasks autonomously. They are inevitable. ———————————————————— The AI Agent market is projected to reach ~$50B by 2030. So the potential is MASSIVE. What makes me so bullish on $SERV specifically? There are 3 things: 1️⃣ The Tech They are targeting Web 2 businesses. This gives the platform the most upside potential imo, both in terms of adoption and valuation. These are some noteworthy highlights: → No-code AI Agent builder (anyone can build) → Builders can generate income using agents → ANY agent can cooperate with ANY agent through SERVs platform → Offers multi-agent collaboration, while allowing for human input/customization This sets them apart from other crypto-centric AI agent marketplaces. OpenServ allows you to create a team of agents to carry out complex tasks, all while automating the process and packaging their solution for Web 2 businesses. Simple tool, easy execution, and limitless productivity. Which business/individual wouldn't want to do MORE in LESS time at a rate MUCH LESS than solutions already available? ———————————————————— 2️⃣ The Team They have a stacked team. → Founders: Experience in businesses & startups → CTO: 20+ years of experience in ML/AI → CFO: ex-JP Morgan VP → CMO: ex-IBM AI & Blockchain Marketing Director Within the last few weeks/months, they have added a UI/UX designer, 4 more devs, and more devs + a product manager coming. You could have the best tech but the team is what determines its success. In this case, the team has the knowledge/experience to see this through. They have been building for a year and the progress made is a good sign of what's to come. ———————————————————— 3️⃣ The Tokenomics A percentage of transaction volume on the platform will be used to buy back and burn the $SERV token. This creates and maintains buy-side pressure and demand. To put that in perspective, Fiverr & Upwork had a combined transaction volume of $5B. The demand for Agents wont slow down anytime soon. Demand for AI agents will translate into demand for the token. I love deflation. It's simple, clean, and effective. ———————————————————— ➡️ Final Thoughts I've held on tight to my $SERV bag because the platform is launching in Q1. This will mark the beginning of their journey to the top. Agents are inevitable. Integration with Web 2 businesses is inevitable. And the platform launch is coming as alt szn is kicking off. The stars are aligning. At the same time, AI companies are already showing interest in the platform. Developers lead to more users, bringing monetization opportunities, which brings more developers, and so on. A powerfully designed flywheel. This is a new and exciting sector. I expect interest and liquidity to be focused on AI Agents and the infrastructure around them. Max opportunity is right here in this sector.

🚨 STRC IS NEXT BLACK SWAN FOR BITCOIN Saylor's STRC just crashed to record low $82. 18% drop in days. But almost nobody sees what's coming next. Now Saylor's Ponzi could destroy Bitcoin. Here's why: He promised investors 11.5% dividends. Now the structure is breaking. On June 30 he faces a critical deadline. To defend STRC's $100 peg, he'll be forced to raise dividends or borrow more. Both options require massive cash. And the only quick source left is selling Bitcoin. Last time he sold $2M worth, Bitcoin dropped 20%. Now imagine what happens when he needs to sell billions. Saylor says his $55B Bitcoin stash can cover it for 32 years. But the market simply doesn't believe him. That’s why $STRC is trading at such a deep discount. And this is the real irony: Saylor admitted he built this entire complex debt structure with ChatGPT. A multi-billion dollar leveraged pyramid, designed by AI. And we all know the kind of garbage AI can produce. This is no longer “HODL”. MicroStrategy is turning from Bitcoin’s biggest buyer into one of its biggest risks. When it collapses, it won’t just take down $STRC. It will drag Bitcoin with it. Remember, I've called every major turn for the last 10 years, including short BTC from $111K in October and Saylor's sell-off before they happened. The next call will be bigger. Watch closely. Turn on notifications. Most people will follow too late. Don't be one of them.
