"other relevant parties to trace and recover the assets" I'd negotiate a white-hat 1%, not having to look over your shoulder for rest of your life is priceless 👌 1% is still a massive stack. 1.4K views · 16 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

I can not overstate how great last years https://t.co/92jLrC82iX was. The first #bitcoin conference I had been to in YEARS that felt like the OG conferences I remember. None of the corp crap, just great talks, bitcoiners sharing ideas, building and beer. Psyched its on again 🔥 5.5K views · 87 likes · 28 reposts · 8 replies Open on X →

An unspoken systemic risk that could collapse markets is AI's impact on scarcity value of software. +90% of S&P 500 value is "intangible assets".
