🛌 “The wake-up call of wake-up calls for Wall Street. Tether is shellacking any other major bank in profits.” Tether is finessing the system, leaning into the innovators dilemma. Preston Pysh sees Tether’s success as the signal that disruption is underway. SAB 121 is repealed, so what’s going to stop banks from running a similar playbook? Listen to The Investor's Podcast to hear Preston and Luke Gromen talk about the evolution of the Lightning Labs⚡️🌐 and Tether’s success and how this is giving us a sense of what the future could look like. Key segments from full discussion: ⚡ Lightning Network = More than a store of value: Bitcoin’s Lightning Network is locking up BTC, reducing sell pressure, and creating a potential supply squeeze. The more it grows, the fewer coins hit exchanges! [10:26] 💰 Tether’s Taproot Asset Protocol = Stablecoin Revolution: Tether is routing USDT on #Lightning using the Taproot Asset Protocol, enabling fast, low-fee transfers. [20:30] 🏦 US Treasuries + Bitcoin = The Future of Finance: Tether is earning billions from US Treasury coupons, outpacing BlackRock. With banks eyeing Bitcoin-backed stablecoins, is traditional finance being forced to evolve? [31:16] 🚀 Lightning Network = Banking Disruption: With 21,000 nodes and near-zero fees, Lightning is a serious threat to Visa/Mastercard. “Processing USD transactions over Lightning is practically free.” [34:00] 🌍 Bitcoin’s Endgame? Global Payment Rails: USDT’s total volume is nearing Visa’s $16T annual volume. Microtransactions are already happening—are we witnessing the beginning of the end for traditional banking?

Look at this 😳 The storm currently raging over the Mediterranean is making history right now. ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ Off the coast of Antibes – Monaco it has turned into a true lightning bomb. Countless flashes, sometimes more than one per second. But the real madness started a few hours ago and is still ongoing: 🌀 An extremely rare, powerful and tightly packed mesocyclone is currently active over the Mediterranean. Inbound (green) and outbound (red) velocities are almost stacked on top of each other. maximwx measured a VROT of around 59 knots (≈ 109 km/h). This is an exceptionally high value for Europe, and especially for the Mediterranean. Typical fair-weather waterspouts rarely exceed 30-40 knots. A 59-knot rotational velocity clearly confirms this is a true tornadic waterspout produced by a supercell. The same cell later produced a second rotation with VROT exceeding 50 knots, and a rare “donut hole” appeared on reflectivity — something almost never seen on European radars. This is one of the cleanest, strongest and most textbook tornadic waterspout-producing supercells we’ve seen over the Mediterranean in the summer of 2026. If it had moved inland the damage potential would have been significant, but its track is remaining entirely over water. The radar data alone is already in the “insane” category. #Supercell #Tornado #Waterspout #Lightning #SevereWeather #Mediterranean #StormChaser #Weather

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

Hyperspace: A Peer-to-Peer Blockchain For The Agentic Intelligence Economy Over the past few weeks we observed that when agents do Karpathy-style experiments, and then gossip and share with others over the Hyperspace network, it leads to intelligence which is useful to many. Today we introduce the first-ever agentic blockchain which rewards agents when their experiments lead to intelligence for their network. It is based on a new mechanism called Proof-of-Intelligence (PoI) which requires a cryptographic proof of experimentation, a nominal stake, and a proof of compute in order to mine the currency of this new blockchain. -> This approach diverges from the two primary ways to secure blockchains we have seen so far: Proof-of-Work by Bitcoin (meaningless hash-generation), and Proof-of-Stake by Ethereum (capital is all that matters here). Proof-of-Intelligence specifically incentivizes miners to run more capable intelligent infrastructure (better open source models, on more powerful GPUs) in order to be able to be the ones which compound and improve upon the experiments which other agents then find useful. Adoption is the unit of value In Bitcoin, you earn by finding a valid hash. In Hyperspace, you earn when another agent uses your experiment as a starting point and improves on it. A fixed budget of tokens is emitted per epoch and split among participants by weight - and verified adoption of your work is the largest weight multiplier. Garbage experiments earn nothing because no one adopts them. Thoughtful experiments compound: each adoption triggers downstream adoptions. The incentive to run powerful models and intelligent search strategies is built into the economics, not imposed by rules. Research DAG When an agent runs an experiment and shares its result, other agents can adopt that result as their starting point - mutate it, extend it, improve upon it. Each experiment is a commit in a content-addressed graph we call the ResearchDAG. Like Git, but for research. Over time, the DAG accumulates chains of reasoning: agent A discovers RMSNorm helps, agent B adds warmup scheduling on top, agent C scales the hidden dimension. The graph records who built on whom. This is the network's collective intelligence - not any single experiment, but the accumulated structure of experiments and their relationships. Broadband era for agentic commerce: $0.001 micropayments at 10M TPS (theoretical max) This blockchain is built upon our research in how to scale and build for the broadband-era of the agentic economy, where it has a theoretical max of 10 million transactions per second (TPS), while reducing the agent-to-agent micropayments to $0.001 even at scale (based on architecture design). Overall, it is 100x cheaper than Ethereum, and is designed from the ground-up for agents: enshrining agent-native opcodes in the protocol compared to the more inefficient smart contract driven approach. It packs in a robust Agent Virtual Machine (AVM) which can verify multiple types of agent work, for other agents to be able to trust, invoke and pay each other. This then feeds into improving the peer-to-peer AgentRank (see paper and launch post from earlier). By solving for trust, scale and incentives for agents to operate autonomously, this would form the basis of a new economy. This is the world's first agentic blockchain, and you can join and start running a blockchain node today (it is in testnet). PS: We are releasing the code today, and will release our blockchain scalability paper and other presentations in days ahead. This is the most advanced peer-to-peer AI and cryptography software in the world. It has bugs :)

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.

What makes jack's Buzz special is it's built on Nostr. But wtf is Nostr? In the video below I explain why it allows Buzz to do things closed platforms can't, plus an example of building a custom solution on top of it for powerful workflows, e.g.: - Everything in Nostr is just a simple event: id, timestamp, kind, tags, content, signature. - You create an event, sign it, push it to relays. Relays are just servers, and anyone can run one. Buzz creates one for you on startup, or you can host your own. - No central server owns any of it and you can easily follow these events, whether they're from a person, agent, bot, whatever. - The events are the source of truth, not any one app's database, so it's easy to build on. And the openness of it allows improvements to compound. How I publish to Nostr to make Buzz more powerful: - In my last video I had Buzz build an API for our Wasp team tweet dashboard, then hit that API for stats. - This time I flipped it. The app runs a daily job that publishes an event to Nostr, and a Buzz channel subscribes to it. - Every morning our team chat gets the stats: who pulled the most impressions in the last 7 days, what the top tweets were, etc. - Then I tag our agent in the thread like "pull out some recurring themes in our top tweets." It has the whole channel as context and just answers. Why this matters: - To wire my app into our team chat I didn't log into a platform, request API tokens, or install anyone's SDK. I was easily able to get two apps talking through an open protocol instead of an integration. - You're not limited to what a closed-source vendor decides to expose. You can do anything the protocol allows. I love this! - Agents sitting in the channel as members means the data lands where the conversation already is, and they can act on it. Repo for the Nostr app example is on GitHub, link in a comment below.
