Introducing "What is Money?" a new course based on the famous talks between @saylor & @Breedlove22 where they look at #Bitcoin as the intersection of energy, anthropology, & technology. We connected a GPT AI assistant to help you along - let us know how well it works!

- The French tax authorities collect personal info from citizens and sell it to criminals on the dark web
- Criminals take that info and hunt down bitcoin and crypto holders
- Someone protects themselves from these criminals
- Gets arrested and sentenced to 2.5 years in prison
Welcome to anarcho-tyranny.
A crypto holder in France scared off kidnappers by firing a Glock from his window. A court just sentenced him to 30 months in prison.
The case turns on where the attackers were when he pulled the trigger.
The facts, per French press reports:
• The attempted kidnapping happened at La Roche-sur-Yon, in Vendée, on 31 October 2026
• The victim, a 23-year-old identified as Ayman R., fired from a window. He reportedly said he did it out of panic
• The attackers fled without taking him and left behind a vehicle reported as stolen
• Prosecutors first opened an attempted murder investigation and police arrested him
• The sentence is 30 months in prison, plus a 15-year ban on carrying a weapon
Prosecutors called the shot revenge, not self-defense, because the attackers were already leaving. French law requires a response proportionate to an immediate threat, and prosecutors argued that once the attackers were running, there was none.
France has been hit by a wave of crypto kidnappings, and in April 2026 prosecutors charged 88 people in connected cases. A man scared off his attackers, then got prison for the shot.
Met a guy tonight at a bonfire party hosted by a mutual friend. We talked about the various AI tools we are playing with, then I brought up Start9 (which he was familiar with), and then we moved to Bitcoin. He knew Saylor, Breedlove (but not the book), Saifedean, Nik Bhatia, Lightning, Liquid and the recent hack, Fedimints, Azteco, and more! He told me I was the first person he’d ever talked to in real life that knew and understood all those things. We had so much fun hanging out.
This looks awesome @attorneysanders @Bowl_After_Bowl

Ugh.
Warren is the worst possible combination of incompetence, ignorance and malevolence all wrapped up into one insufferable harpy.
🇺🇸 ELIZABETH WARREN EXPECTED TO CHAIR SENATE BANKING COMMITTEE
Following Democrats’ midterm sweep, one of Bitcoin and crypto’s fiercest critics is expected to take control of the powerful committee in January.
Warren would gain authority to lead investigations, hold hearings, and pursue subpoenas targeting banks, crypto firms, and regulators.
Her appointment has not yet been finalized.

I’ll be saying this without end until people understand it:
EVERYTHING should and would get naturally more affordable if we weren’t printing money.
All of our lives would be easier, less crowded, have little debt, and wouldn’t be a never ending sprint on a treadmill.
There's nothing "normal" about prices going up.
Most people assume that things getting more expensive is a fact of life. But in a truly productive, advancing society, everyday goods should actually get cheaper over time.
In this Guy's Take, I lay out a simple analogy to show exactly how the creation of new money is quietly stealing the prosperity we work so hard for.
Hey @MicrosoftTeams devs, when I'm in a meeting there are always two Teams windows open--the main window with all my chats, etc., and the meeting-specific window. If something comes in that triggers an alert notification (like a comment in the chat, a reaction, etc.), and I click back into the meeting window to make it active and clear the notification, THAT SHOULD DO THE SAME THING IN THE OTHER WINDOW. There is no freaking reason I should have to click into multiple active windows just to clear out alerts for the same notification. It's terrible design and I hate it /endrant

Now make them scared to self custody so we can get the Bitcoin centralized in our control.

This is getting reposted by many and many are saying they don't know why this affects them so. "Hit me in the soul," as some are saying.
This performance has the same effect as Tolkein upon native English speakers, or Bluegrass upon the Scots Irish.

Never use Tether. Never.
TETHER CAN DELETE YOUR BALANCE. IT'S WRITTEN INTO THE CODE.
Not freeze it. Delete it.
The USDT contract has a function called destroyBlackFunds. It has been there since the 2017 Ethereum deployment.
Here is what it does, in order. It checks that your address is already blacklisted. It reads your balance into a variable the developers named "dirtyFunds". It sets your balance to zero. It subtracts that amount from total supply. Then it logs the event.
No function can reverse it. Once it runs, that balance is gone forever.
The blacklist function names the address it targets "_evilUser". That is how the code sees you before anyone has proven anything.
Only Tether's owner multisig can call it, on Ethereum and on Tron. A court can't. A regulator can't. When a government wants your money, Tether is the one that executes.
Then comes step two. Tether mints the same amount fresh to whoever it chooses: a victim, a court address, a government address. Net supply change is zero. Your money just changed owners.
The DOJ described this exact process in a forfeiture case filed in Massachusetts in March 2025, over roughly $9,016,612 in USDT. Burn, then reissue.
USDC can block a wallet but can't burn the balance. Tether built the eraser in from the start.
They keep promising you there will be no CBDC.
It already exists. It runs on Tron and Ethereum, and it has an owner.
Bitcoin doesn't. Exit with Bitcoin.
Hi @pocketcasts if I upgraded my device, but my side-loaded files inside the app didn’t transfer over in the iCloud backup, is there any way to access and export those files from the old device to the new?
This is going to be a astronomical game changer

Software as a service is about to have an entirely new "piracy" era. And its not because people will jailbreak and distribute their software...
It's because some user/maker will let an LLM run for a few days, interacting with and using every tool and element in the software and then rebuilding a new, mirrored version of it and then making it freely available so that they can be the compute provider plugged into the backend.
I suspect software will become more and more free, for the purpose of selling compute and hosting/storage as the commodity.
