Cloudflare CEO @eastdakota believes the next two years of AI cyberattacks will be terrifying but will ultimately make the internet more secure.
"The next two years are going to be incredibly, incredibly, incredibly fraught with new tools that have infinite patience to go look for vulnerabilities across the Internet."
"It's going to feel like the sky is falling. It's going to feel like there's nothing we can do."
"There are going to be stories that characterize AI as the bad guy. AI is not the bad guy here, AI is the good guy."
"AI didn't create these vulnerabilities, AI found them."
"If you're living in a house with deadly monsters in every closet, but you don't know they're there, are you in a better place or a worse place than if you start going through the closets and finding the monsters and killing them?"
"It's going to be a lot more frightening to go through and kill the monsters, but you're probably going to get a lot safer."

We gave the whole team a Grok Bot that knows our brand. Now anyone can make a great deck in seconds, and I don't have to worry if someone is using the wrong font.

After four incredible years, Friday is my last day at HRF.
Working alongside activists on the frontlines and seeing firsthand how technology can be used to empower has been a true privilege.
I've met some of the most courageous, brilliant, and kind people in the world.
Eternally grateful to @gladstein and the HRF team for the opportunity and trust.
Has truly been a dream.
The work continues.
Onwards 🫡

CleanSpark is headed to @imagineif_bna in Nashville next week. The summit explores the convergence of Bitcoin, AI, energy and freedom tech, and how these technologies shape what's next.
Catch our speakers @smatthewschultz, @harry_sudock and @sprainhill on stage as they share their perspectives on the future. See you there!

A thousand people ran through mud and mountains this week. 250,000 watched online.
Most of them weren't Bitcoiners. But everywhere they went, the trail, the medals, the finish line it was Bitcoin.
No pitch. No sales talk. Just a slow, long game of helping people discover this thing.
Run for Freedom.

Today I had the pleasure of judging another AI Hackathon for Freedom. Picking the top 3 Freedom Tech projects out of 10 was incredibly hard.
I’m absolutely mind-blown by how dramatically AI is accelerating the development of powerful tools for freedom. In just 24 hours, we saw 10 fully working projects with the potential to reshape how people around the world fight censorship, repression, and authoritarianism.
🥇 First place went to Carine Kanimba with her project “Behind the Jersey.” 👏

When banks and payment apps couldn’t reach Afghan women, Bitcoin offered another solution.
Read my essay in The Wall Street Journal about how access to Bitcoin opened new possibilities for financial independence.

Almost nobody pays for AI out of pocket yet
Only ~3% of US consumers do, up from under 1% in 2023
The youngest buyers are adopting at 4x the rate of the oldest

Bitcoin is not a dead cat, @Jason ! It has many lives ahead.
Check out our latest Bitcoin Brainstorm with @bitcoinpark_ focused on the convergence between AI and Bitcoin.
The dead cat continues to bounce.
What is Bitcoin, 17 years later?
It’s not great for transactions or smart contracts; the user experience is still intimidating for most, and it’s no longer capturing the public’s imagination.
If it comes up at the dinner party, it's followed by a hearty “remember that!”
It’s a boring store of value, trusted as that—which is its biggest value.
It's boring.
Folks expect bitcoin to be stable and that it’s no longer a way to get rich quick.
Institutions embracing and accumulating it took $btc from punk rock to Muzak.
Advocates went from pirates to suits in orange ties, awkwardly sharing cringe memes — just like the cool kids do!
If Bitcoin were going to reach mass adoption and an important use case, it does better than anyone else, it would have by now.
Bitcoin feels like the CD in the age of Spotify, the DVD in the age of Netflix — a bridge technology that folks who invested in “their collection” keep saying is the better experience.
Perhaps bitcoin is vinyl, cool memories and fun to drag out and put on display, but a technology that served us to get to where we are now.
