Wild that the 10Y is back to mid-February levels and it is receiving nowhere near the amount of attention it was in mid-April. Everyone distracted by the "Riyadh Accord". Let's see if the basis trade blow up fears begin to take hold again. image
The compounded leverage of building a company that leverages AI tools and sweeps profits into bitcoin is going to be the biggest asymmetric plays of the next decade. naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzq3e0gs8jnmued6f2rp4c6vs07xqvs4vs8zpwt82smcdch4txjvq7qqexy6t5vdhkjm3d9vkkz6f6943k7mtzd9hx2epdd3jhvetjv9nk2tt0vckhg6r994hx27r594jx2cmpv3js3c8v3l
Bitcoiners have identified the need to become sovereign in our monetary matters, it probably makes sense to become sovereign when it comes to our healthcare as well. naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzq3e0gs8jnmued6f2rp4c6vs07xqvs4vs8zpwt82smcdch4txjvq7qq0kgefdve6kuepdvf5kwttsdpshymtp94mkjarg943xjarrda5kumhuh68
It is imperative that anyone who cares about being able to hold bitcoin in self-custody, mine bitcoin, and send bitcoin in a peer-to-peer fashion makes some noise around the Samourai case. The SDNY is drunk with power and could set a dangerous precedent. naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzq3e0gs8jnmued6f2rp4c6vs07xqvs4vs8zpwt82smcdch4txjvq7qq78g6r994ekzmt0w4exz6fdwaskcmr9wskkxctnv5khw6tvdskhxet594sj6an9wfuj66tdwphhyarpde6z6urjv43k2er9de6qax0tl2

Bitcoin is catching on. You may want to get some.
It's been a hell of a week for bitcoin in Austin, TX. Here are some of my reflections so far. Headed over to @btcplusplus to run the live desk for Day 2 of the conference.
While everyone is focused on the OP_RETURN discussion, @calle and other Cashu developers are pushing code to improve the UX of ecash. Multinut payments are here and they are a forcing function for risk distribution and competition among mints.
