More than $6 billion stolen in 55 minutes, and bitcoin fell about 5%. Stocks fell hard that Friday too, so not all of that was the hack. One exchange's failure hurts that exchange's customers far more than it hurts bitcoin.



JPMorgan Thinks Bitcoin Will Beat Everything. It's Still Too Conservative.

JPMorgan predicts Bitcoin will outperform every major asset class, but its 10% annual return forecast may be far too low.
This week, agentic AI attacks are threatening the very internet as we know it, with major vulnerabilities discovered in fundamental infrastructure like PHP.

Robinhood says volume is down 50% YOY! Caused them to miss earnings… it’s going to be glorious! Bitcoin exposure? What’s that? Sounds like someone asking how much Danny Masterson exposure I want… none. I’ve heard Halloween bc the orange/orange theme but who knows? Could be tonight? Could be a month from now. So excited! It’s not going to zero, but it will take 10,000 to get a Papa John’s pizza again.

The Return of the Real World

When everything can be fabricated, reality becomes precious.
Last week, I came across a video of a priest conducting a religious service when a large cross suddenly fell and killed him. It was shocking, tragic, and almost impossible to believe.

The Missing Rung

When intelligence becomes cheap, experience becomes priceless—and harder to acquire.
I’ve been thinking quite a bit lately about what artificial intelligence is doing to the workplace.

This is the question I keep coming back to too. Junior work was never really about the output, it was the tuition. If AI does the tuition, firms will have to pay for apprenticeship on purpose, because it won't happen by accident anymore. Whoever figures that out first will own the next generation of seniors.

Your example of junior accountants investigating discrepancies gets to the practical question: what learning replaces the work we automate? I’d give someone a case to assess before showing them the AI’s conclusion, then compare the reasoning together. Otherwise, reviewing an answer can become agreeing with something that already looks convincing. Some of the time saved needs to go into that teaching.

When the Machines Meet the Bond Market

The technology can change the world. The investors financing it can still lose everything.
A technology can be revolutionary, its adoption can exceed everyone’s expectations, and the people financing it can still lose a fortune.

Productivity gains showing up in your own accounting team is a good sign the demand side is real. The dot-com leftovers like fiber ended up cheap for the next owners and the internet kept growing anyway. Do you think the bond market would flag any problem before equities do?


The Right to Say No

The Binance breach and the deeper questions of ownership, power, and financial control.

The line that stuck with me: the ability to freeze stolen money is the same ability to freeze money that isn't stolen. Tether and Circle froze about $3B within hours; the bitcoin that walked out couldn't be stopped by anyone. That's the real choice every holder makes: protection by permission, or ownership without it.

I am glad to know that one has the right to say no
. how does this fheft affect my end!I should think that Binance being the host to all linked wallet's associated to the main ambrela then you should be able to recover the lost funds that should not affect the investor shares.


BITCOIN TURNS 18. KINGDOM BITCOIN TURNS 1

The Adults Are in the Room, and Adulthood Changes the Assignment
On October 31, 2008, someone calling himself Satoshi Nakamoto sent a message to a cryptography mailing list: “I’ve been working on a new electronic cash system that’s fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party.” Attached was the paper that introduced Bitcoin to the world. The network itself would not begin operating until January 3, 2009, but Octob…

The line that stayed with me is that people now treat investing as a necessity rather than a choice. That is the quiet tax inflation charges everyone. You cannot simply work, earn, and save. You have to become a part-time portfolio manager just to stand still.
Bitcoin's fixed supply is what makes plain saving possible again. And it does it without the building, the property manager, or the mortgage that real estate demands for the same job. A house can still be a home or a business. It no longer has to be your money.

Will Bitcoin Catch Up With Global Liquidity?

Bitcoin Research
Bitcoin has rallied over 50% from its bear market lows, then stalled while Global M2 continues reaching new highs. Over the past year, Bitcoin has still substantially underperformed global liquidity. So is that gap about to close?

The Price of Human Labor

The Great Repricing — Part Five
For most of my career, the relationship between work and compensation was relatively straightforward. You developed expertise, accumulated experience, worked hard, and hopefully became more valuable over time. Certain skills commanded a premium because they were difficult to acquire and relatively scarce. Organizations hired specialists because nobody c…

Your point that experience is the multiplier matches what I see in software. AI hands a junior the answers; a senior knows which question to ask and when the answer is wrong. The scarce asset moves from knowledge to judgment. And there's a Bitcoin parallel: when labor gets cheaper to produce, value flows to what can't be produced more of. Deflationary tech needs money that doesn't inflate to match.

Great article. I love that generalists could benefit!
Those specialists you mention - doctors, lawyers, engineers, accountants and consultants have done well out of their narrow but deep knowledge by being able to charge (often) extortionate fees for it.
What I'd love to see is those professions that present huge barriers to doing business due to high costs be replaced. Imagine if legal advice, accountancy and consultancy were fast and affordable?
The generalists that will win would then be the ones who can come up with the best ideas how to profit now that those barriers are massively reduced.


ELECTION DAY: THE STEWARDSHIP OF THE BALLOT

God, Capitalism, Limited Government, Bitcoin, and the American Experiment
Election Day is not merely about which party wins office. It is about what kind of country we intend to preserve and what principles we are willing to hand to the next generation. America began with an extraordinary proposition: our rights do not originate with government. The Declaration says human beings are endowed by their Creator with unalienable r…

The Neocloud Opportunity for Bitcoin Miners

How to capitalize on the rise of neoclouds and distributed AI inference
AI infrastructure created a new class of cloud providers that sell specialized computing capacity rather than general-purpose IT services. Some of the fastest-growing players have roots in mining. As AI inference becomes more distributed, could neoclouds offer Bitcoin miners another way to monetize their existing infrastructure?

The signed-versus-energized gap is easy to see in IREN's numbers this week. Microsoft's Horizon 1 cluster only started billing on August 13, so the quarter IREN reports on Thursday is the first with any of it, and the CFO has warned that most of the capacity due in the December quarter arrives "late in the quarter". In our model the timing alone is worth about $23M: $403.9M of December-quarter revenue if it lands on schedule, $381.0M if it all slips to the last two weeks.
