Hug your loved ones today. And tomorrow. And the day after.

Such a short ride. 🩵

If Adam Back were Satoshi, citing himself in the whitepaper would defeat the whole point of disappearing. Simple psychology.

The quiet joy of witnessing a person heal ✨

Kinda crazy to think that a good chunk of humanity’s problems could be solved with better sleep, less processed food, and nervous system regulation.

I like how a good night’s sleep is becoming the new flex.

First time in quite a while I listened to Bitcoin presentations and felt inspired

Energy in Africa is different

“Teaching people how to spend is teaching people how to save” 💯

“The age of communities is here” 🔥

There is something deeply beautiful about feminine and masculine energy when they arise from a safe, grounded place.

Morale will improve once humanity remembers its own divinity

I’ll be giving a technical intro session on Ark

- hope to see many peeps there soonish! 🫡

This is a very decent, non-technical overview of the core idea of zero-knowledge proofs.

Most verification today is over-disclosure by default.

Zero-knowledge proofs decouple proof from disclosure. They let an entity prove that a statement is true (e.g. “this transaction is valid”, “a requirement is met”, “this identity got verified”) without revealing the underlying data.

ZK-KYC won't remove compliance, but it can remove unnecessary extraction, collection and storage of personal data. So, verification still happens, but no data honeypot is created.

A complete dissolution of what one once believed to be true.

Between catharsis and rebirth lives the notion of bardo.

Individually, it’s profound; collectively, it’s transformative.

I’m witnessing a rise in people experiencing intense personal catharsis.

A person’s capacity for growth is closely linked to their willingness to face and work through the parts of their past that remain unresolved.

Criticism isn’t the problem. Collapse fetishism is.

Modern life is engineered to pull you in every direction, except inward.

The sheer amount of beauty in this world is humbling

BitVM is quietly evolving:

The new design, BitVM3, drastically reduces onchain costs in the case of a challenge (by ~1000x).

In earlier versions, while challenging was permissionless, the high costs meant only a few well-capitalized entities could realistically participate in the process. BitVM3 may change that, opening the door to a broader set of challengers.

The tradeoff: garbled circuits introduce a multi-terabyte offchain setup. Reducing this overhead is an active research area and likely to see improvements.

What’s a recommendable amount of relays to connect to and what are the downsides of connecting to „too many“?

shoutout to all the shadowy supercoders out there - you're awesome! 💜
