I'd love someone to make an Ai movie similar to the movie Pi and have some crazy cypherpunk losing his mind trying to generate a seed phrase. In the end he gets trapped inside a Bitcoin miner.

Sound ON (Unless you're a shitcoiner, then leave the sound off) This set of 3 mirrored Codex32 computers uses ancient technology to securely create bitcoin seeds entirely offline. The perfect tool for the self-sovereign bitcoiner. ✅Don’t trust computers? ✅Don’t trust software? ✅Don’t trust hardware? ✅Don’t EVEN trust dice manufacturers? Store your Bitcoin using technology that worked 1000 years ago, and will work 1000 years from today. Math. Paper. Pencil. Dice. Fire. Steel. You do all the math yourself, by hand, and don’t have to trust, you can verify. The computers not only help you calculate the Bitcoin seeds yourself by hand but can also use Shamir Secret Sharing to split your seeds for layered security into 2-of-3, 3-of-5 (up to 31 shares). And of course, the final computer helps you to combine your split shares to recover your secret seed. See them in person and on auction BTC Prague.

Creating Bitcoin keys securely entirely off-line. I made this (extremely ugly but) functional prototype Codex32 wooden computer that can calculate Bitcoin keys using nothing more than dice, some paper and a pen. You do all the math by hand, including calculating the checksum.

We are mining bitcoin in isla mujeres! What actually happens when you bring a Bitcoin miner to an island? This isn’t just about hashing numbers—it’s about planting a seed for financial sovereignty, local empowerment, and proving that ANYONE, ANYWHERE can be part of the Bitcoin revolution.

So, does it matter that Bitcoin seems to be moving away from its cypherpunk roots? Bitcoin ETFs and Bitcoin Treasuries have taken BTC mainstream. So I asked Saifedean Ammous this very question. His answer might surprise you... 👀👇 "If you have very strong feelings about how people should and shouldn't use Bitcoin, you're in for a rough time." "To be honest, a lot of people project too much onto Bitcoin. Ultimately, it's just a bunch of software and anybody can use it in any way they want. Initially, it's a small subset of people that use it and then they start projecting their values onto it. And then over time, they expect it to continue to abide by that," Ammous said. "If it's a successful technology, it's going to be used by everybody. It's going to be used by small businesses, large businesses, governments, individuals. It's money. Everybody uses money. There are 8.5 billion people on Earth, they all use money and they're all going to continue to use money. And Bitcoin is just the best money." Ultimately, the protocol itself is immune to the financial instruments that TradFi has concocted. If people want to lend against their BTC or create complex financial products, that does not actually impact the underlying network. "The way that the protocol works is that it's completely blind to what you're doing with your coins on the Bitcoin blockchain there is no paper Bitcoin there's no such thing as paper Bitcoin there's only 21 million Bitcoin and every node makes sure of that every 10 minutes and then if somebody who has some of these Bitcoin on their private key decides to sell obligations or financial liabilities referring to that Bitcoin under any condition, that's their choice. It's outside of Bitcoin and it's outside of the realm of other Bitcoin users being able to say this is right or wrong and this should happen or shouldn't happen. People are going to do whatever they want with the Bitcoin, including selling access to it or exposure to it in all kinds of different ways. And if you don't like it, you don't buy it, you can stack your own Bitcoin." You can find the full interview for Cointelegraph in the 🧵.

Stop whatever you’re doing and pay attention: IF the US is being serious and decides to literally print $15T to “sell” to the open market in order to buy Bitcoin… and it starts “buying” Bitcoin -A FINITE CURRENCY- at the open market price You can cheat You can be smart Or You can be the first If the US does try to be the first… …to sell trillions of dollars… …with the openly stated mission of getting away from worthless paper and debt based currency… …to get a FINITE money that can only become more valuable over time… … …so, I’ll ask the question: why are so many in the markets still holding USD? Or, holding assets beholden to the USD? —If you know ***in advance*** the biggest player in the world is about to sell and needs Bitcoin ONLY… (Send this to all your Bitcoin friends and all your noncoiners.

Watching Strategy accumulate Bitcoin in real time is insane... 4.6 BTC per minute so far today. A few days ago we surpassed 20,000,000 Bitcoin meaning there are less than 999,956 BTC left. People haven't done the math. Michael Saylor has figured out the product that 1% of a $300 trillion bond market is going to want. Satoshi Nakamoto figured out how to make peer to peer electronic cash. Michael Michael Saylor has finally figured out how to dig a channel in the ground from the massive ocean of endless fiat money so that gravity can do the work for water to flow into the kiddie pool that is Bitcoin. STRC is still only $3.8 billion and 1% of $300 trillion is $3 trillion... This Bitcoin price is not sustainable. STRC accumulated now well over 1,100 BTC today. There are less than a million Bitcoin to be issued and a handful of million that can be sold. What happens after 1,000 trading days? Bitcoin is infinity divisible so we won't run out or lose volume, but price must go up. What happens when a major world government simply "copy+paste" this for it's own sovereign debt+currency? The playbook is literally right here in real time. The demand is insatiable because you can print currency forever. "The first country that prints it's own currency for Bitcoin wins." - Michael Saylor

Ryan Watkins (Ryan Watkins) says zcash:native the asset is a meme, and that privacy is a feature that can live on any chain: "For me, privacy is a feature. The technical stack Zcash built can be implemented on any blockchain. And the actual asset, ZEC, I think, is a meme." "You can say the same about Bitcoin, that it's a meme." "The difference is Bitcoin is the first and has all the liquidity. The reason we'd need another Bitcoin just doesn't make sense to me." "It's become an institutional meme." "I don't think many holders really care about the original cypherpunk values, or use it as private Bitcoin."

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson says Bitcoin can be mirrored into Cardano without a conventional bridge, and without a taxable event. "Because we're a UTXO system and Bitcoin's a UTXO system, and we figured out the zero knowledge side of it, you can take your Bitcoin on Taproot and through a zero knowledge transaction mirror it into Cardano in a non-custodial way." He says the major advantages are that you keep control, so it cannot be bridge-hacked, and it is tax neutral because no new asset is created. Per The Block. Gareth Jenkinson x Charles Hoskinson

Hodlonaut on the illusion that just shattered: "We bypassed the social layer, the human layer. We somehow thought the virtue and direction of this protocol was set in stone, no matter what developers do. That's obviously not true. Bitcoin didn't win. Bitcoin can change. Bitcoin is changing. Bitcoin has changed. The illusion that we had a foothold in this world we could put our energy on, that illusion is gone right now. All you want is to sit back posting 'Bitcoin fixes this, number go up, stay humble, stack sats,' and anyone sounding an alarm is seen as a threat. We need Bitcoiners to fight for Bitcoin. If no one fights for Bitcoin, Bitcoin will very soon be dead." hodlonaut on The The Bitcoin Matrix Podcast ⚡️ #286.

No one in our country can be deported without due process. Donald Trump is defying the courts and the Constitution. I’ve introduced an amendment that will stop the Trump Administration from using any resources to illegally strip people of due process protections.

GPT-4o is bad at processing PDF documents. Whoever tells you otherwise is not living in the real world. In 2024, people fill out forms using pen and paper. Try to answer questions from those forms using modern models, and you'll be disappointed. I recorded a video to show you how to fix this. The answer is simple: stop letting the model see your PDF document. Instead, preprocess it and stick to showing the model text. Watch the video. You'll go from "THIS IS CRAP" to "EXCELLENT" in no time. I'm using Unstract to turn the documents into text while keeping the original format (this is crucial!) You can use them to process up to 100 pages for free. They collaborated with me on this post. You can find the code I wrote right here:

Core, ‌the Bitcoin-first ‌chain, and how it’s trying to stretch BTC’s usefulness Core DAO (Core DAO 🔶) brands itself as “The Bitcoin Everything Chain.” The pitch is simple: take Bitcoin’s strengths and push them beyond the usual buy-and-hold story. The protocol centers on one main idea: BTC shouldn’t sit still. Core wants idle Bitcoin to earn, but without giving up the properties people care about most: safety, decentralization, and full self-custody. To get there, Core leans on a mix of Satoshi Plus, timelocks, and a quick Layer 1 EVM chain. Satoshi Plus folds in Delegated Proof of Work (so Bitcoin miners can participate), self-custodial Bitcoin staking, and staking of the $CORE token. Core frames the relationship with Bitcoin as mutualistic. It borrows security and incentive alignment from Bitcoin, then tries to send value back through extra miner rewards, trustless yield opportunities for BTC holders, and infrastructure that makes it easier for Bitcoin products to plug in and scale. Key ways Core aims to expand Bitcoin utility: 1.) Self-custodial Bitcoin staking Lock BTC with timelocks directly on the Bitcoin network (CLTV) and earn CORE yield, no wrapping, no bridges, and no handing custody to anyone else. 2.) Dual staking Stake $BTC and $CORE together to reach higher yield tiers. 3.) Tapping Bitcoin’s hash power Miners can delegate hash power to earn extra CORE rewards, while Core itself is secured using a majority share of Bitcoin’s hash rate. 4.) The “Bitcoin Power Grid” A set of rails Bitcoin products can connect to, built around yield, collateral, payments, and DeFi use cases. 5.) Scalable Bitcoin DeFi An EVM-compatible network designed for faster, cheaper BTCFi apps. 6.) Two-way value flow The goal is to strengthen Bitcoin’s security budget over time, while also turning dormant BTC into something that can actively do work. In plain terms, Core DAO’s broader mission is to make Bitcoin more productive without piling on trust assumptions, converting energy and capital tied up in Bitcoin into yield, DeFi activity, and scalable infrastructure.

Threadguy predicts this will be the first bull run in crypto history where Bitcoin doesn't participate "This is going to be the first bull run in the history of crypto where Bitcoin flat out does not participate. No role, no say, it will be minimal at best. It will be Bitcoin to $75k, Bitcoin to $80k, Bitcoin to $85k, and there will be mania on-chain." "My entire thesis is that the next cycle comes from new blood getting access to on chain through these apps. This new crowd doesn't even know what Bitcoin is. Anyone that joined because they saw Kimchi or Cented or Rasmr, they don't know what Bitcoin is. If there's a pocket of excitement and new blood in crypto, it will have nothing to do with Bitcoin, the same way Bitcoin had nothing to do with the disaster that on-chain became in 2025. You cannot have it both ways. The two have been separated for years."

Three 16 year old Indian students can remove microplastics from water using tamarind seeds. And they've received a $12,500 grant from The Earth Prize to develop this solution. How did they do it? Tamarind seeds have something called polysaccharide - which is a sticky compound that can natural polymer. Kinda like a plant-based glue. This glue when mixed with water can pull out microplastics and clump them together. And these kids are using the same principle to develop their product called "Plas-Stick" - which is just this power made from waste tamarind seeds. Now, "Plas-Stick" is still in its developmental stage and there is a lot that needs to be done before it can be scaled. But if they pull this off - we could have a simple, biodegradable and scalable solution to purify water for billions of people in the world. And that's something. Kudos to Vivaan Chhawchharia, Ariana Agarwal, and Avyana Mehta. P.S. Video and Picture taken from The Earth Prize

This glue when mixed with water can pull out microplastics and clump them together. And these kids are using the same principle to develop their product called "Plas-Stick" - which is just this power made from waste tamarind seeds. Now, "Plas-Stick" is still in its developmental stage and there is a lot that needs to be done before it can be scaled. But if they pull this off - we could have a simple, biodegradable and scalable solution to purify water for billions of people in the world. And that's something. Kudos to Vivaan Chhawchharia, Ariana Agarwal, and Avyana Mehta. P.S. Video and Picture taken from The Earth Prize

This is the former President of PayPal talking about using #Bitcoin to make the $7.5 Trillion DAILY Foreign Exchange Market a much more efficient & profitable place. He is talking about building what Strike is building and compared the current monetary rails to a fax machine. I also completely agree with him that #Bitcoin will not be the currency people use to buy goods and services, however, it is a great settlement layer where you can have USD effectively on #Bitcoin rails and do immediate settlements. This is the best explanation of a corporate application of #Bitcoin being used as an invisible service layer that I've heard. If you think the corporates "don't get it" and only Twitter Anon's can "get it" - you're a moron. These people are smart and can catch up quickly with manpower. To put it into perspective, if 25% of the Daily Foreign Exchange market was on #Bitcoin rails it means $1.875 Trillion of daily consistent demand for #Bitcoin. That would equate to a $225 Trillion #Bitcoin Market Cap - assuming BofA's Bull Market Multiple is right. This means - just 25% of this market alone coming onto the #Bitcoin Rails would add $10.5m onto the price of #Bitcoin. Thanks for finding the video!

Investing in precious metals is a religion Bitcoin proved this by being better money The precious metals investors don't plan to change their opinion, no matter how many facts are presented (Just like religion) Everything that Peter Schiff mentioned in this debate with Saifedean Ammous as a downside of Bitcoin, can be applied to gold Nobody sends and receives gold to settle transactions today, but Peter wants to convince you that Bitcoin isn't money ("My religion is better") Once you get out of the precious metals echo chamber, you can start analyzing the world with a fresh mind Peter criticizes Michael Saylor for buying $55B of Bitcoin and only being at break-even When Bitcoin is at $150K, MSTR's 700,000 BTC stack will have doubled When Bitcoin is $300K, $MSTR's Bitcoin will be worth 4x what they paid for it When it gets to $1M, MSTR's current holdings would be worth $700 BILLION That's a 13X Even after that happens, Peter will be saying Bitcoin is a scam Because like I said... Investing in precious metals is a religion
