🚹Chamath Palihapitiya believes Bitcoin will get hacked and go to ZERO. Chamath says if AI is aimed at crypto, the obvious target would be "Satoshi's wallet," to "drain the wallet and then go short." What's your take?

Rootmode.ai is going parabolic !

Rootmode.ai now supports Monero , Bitcoin mainnet and lightning Only AI creator platform that you can use all the latest models GLM 5.3 Kimi K3 Deepseek 4.1 PRIVATELY and SECURELY.

Hooking up all 20 home RTSP camera feeds to a DGX Spark running YOLO local AI model. Alerts on suspicious behavior. Like having my own 24/7/375 security guard.

Only thing I’m waiting for is for both bitcoind and monerod to sync- we will then have decentralized p2p inference on rootmode powered by BTC and XMR
 theoretically if all testing and syncing goes well by the end of this week

All of China's PQC algorithms have been broken in one day.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
NGCC first-round PQC candidates (84 public-key submissions) were announced Sept 20; reports detail mostly implementation bugs in reference code for some, not all candidates or any finalized algorithms. niccs.org.cn/niccs/Notice/p

What if you could send money like sending a photo on whatsapp?

And the rootmode AI X account got suspended. So posting from my personal account. I don’t know why it got suspended, maybe this has something to do with it ?

So, you can now use rootmode.ai with Claude, Codex or OpenCode harnesses and route your requests to any open model including Kimi K3 or Qwen Code 3.8 GLM 5.3 and others 
. Paying only in USDC (Bitcoin and Monero coming next week
) rootmode.ai/blog/use-it-else

PETER THIEL CALLED IT. The Antichrist wouldn’t build the doomsday machine. This clip aged terrifyingly well. Peter Thiel predicted in June, 26, 2025 exactly what is happening right now with Anthropic, Coxon and the AI-safety landscape. “The way the Antichrist would take over the world is you talk about Armageddon non-stop, you talk about existential risk non-stop.” The 'Antichrist' wouldn’t seize power by creating an AI apocalypse, but by CONVINCING everyone that the apocalypse was coming and then offering safety in exchange for CONTROL. A must watch.

P2P AI inference is here ! I launched rootmode.ai Decentralised worker GPUs serve open weight LLMs like Kimi K3 and GLM 5.3 Runs on USDC on Base 90% goes to workers 10% goes to the protocol. Live now. Works with Claude and Codex. It’s my daily driver

đŸ‡ȘđŸ‡ș Le Parlement europĂ©en vient de voter une monnaie qu'il sera impossible d'Ă©pargner 😬 Cette semaine, la commission ECON a adoptĂ© sa position sur l'Euro NumĂ©rique : 43 voix pour, 14 contre. Dans le texte, trois verrous : 📌 Un plafond de dĂ©tention par personne. 📌 Interdiction de fourniture d'intĂ©rĂȘts. 📌 Interdiction aux entreprises de conserver plus de 24h. En somme : impossible d'Ă©pargner. Pourquoi brider Ă  ce point un projet prĂ©sentĂ© comme une avancĂ©e majeure ? Parce qu'un euro de banque centrale ne peut pas faire faillite, contrairement Ă  un dĂ©pĂŽt chez une banque. S'il Ă©tait librement accumulable, chacun viderait son compte vers la BCE. Un plafond Ă  3 000 € amputerait la rentabilitĂ© des banques de 30 points de base, et conduirait Ă  une fuite possible des dĂ©pĂŽts jusqu'Ă  739 milliards d'euros, soit 10 % de l'Ă©pargne des mĂ©nages. Le BCE se retrouverait ainsi Ă  Ɠuvrer activement contre la stabilitĂ© financiĂšre qui fait pourtant partie de ses missions. La vie privĂ©e « by design » ? Lagarde a tranchĂ© dĂšs 2022 : l'anonymat comme le cash n'est pas une option viable. Il faut pouvoir tracer, suivre, identifier, pour respecter les rĂ©glementations financiĂšres. L'Euro NumĂ©rique, c'est aussi une concurrence dĂ©loyale au privĂ©. Il existe dĂ©jĂ  des solutions de paiement EU qui fonctionnent. Wero, portĂ© par 16 banques, dĂ©passe 50 millions d'utilisateurs dĂ©but 2026. Le rĂ©seau Cartes Bancaires traite l'essentiel des paiements par carte en France. L'Euro NumĂ©rique, lui, arriverait avec un privilĂšge que ces acteurs n'ont pas : l'acceptation obligatoire par les commerçants, au titre du cours lĂ©gal. On demanderait donc aux banques de financer deux infrastructures pour le mĂȘme usage. CoĂ»t annoncĂ© : 1,3 milliard pour la BCE, et 4 Ă  18 milliards pour le secteur bancaire. Le rapporteur du texte, Fernando Navarrete (PPE), prĂ©vient lui-mĂȘme que ces milliards risquent de ne servir Ă  rien si une solution privĂ©e atteint l'Ă©chelle paneuropĂ©enne avant la BCE. Sa prĂ©fĂ©rence va au privĂ©, « moins cher, plus rapide, plus innovant ». On nous prĂ©sente pourtant l'euro numĂ©rique comme « la monnaie qui nous rend libre ». La formule est d'Aurore Lalucq. La mĂȘme dĂ©putĂ©e qui, sur MiCA, dĂ©fendait qu'« une rĂ©glementation n'a jamais tuĂ© un secteur » et a portĂ© une ligne dure contre les acteurs europĂ©ens. Quelques annĂ©es plus tard et Ă  quelques jours de l'Ă©chĂ©ance du 1er Juillet, 95% des entreprises crypto europĂ©ennes devraient bientĂŽt disparaĂźtre. La mĂȘme dĂ©putĂ©e dĂ©clarait en 2025 « Les stablecoins sont une attaque contre l'idĂ©e mĂȘme d'institution monĂ©taire ». Pendant qu'elle lutte contre, les Etats-Unis dollarisent l'Europe avec leurs stablecoins. Difficile de rĂ©clamer la souverainetĂ© aprĂšs avoir contribuĂ© Ă  Ă©touffer ceux qui pouvaient l'assurer. Une monnaie plafonnĂ©e, sans rendement, traçable, et qui fragilise nos seules alternatives europĂ©ennes. L'Euro NumĂ©rique est un projet absurde et dangereux, en plus d'ĂȘtre coĂ»teux et contraire Ă  la souverainetĂ© europĂ©enne.

Unpopular (but real) opinion - Bitcoin will have its Deepseek moment - a new technology will be born that will replace it. Bitcoin will become an ancient relic deeply appreciated but no longer fit for monetary purpose. It lacks speed, fungibility and privacy.

I was asked to conduct a blockchain investigation into stolen funds for my employer. Using Claude Code, I built Python tooling to recursively trace fund flows, identify pooling (many-to-one) accounts, and generate the full investigation report. Impressive leverage.

Today we are launching a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal that I co-authored with @lopp. It addresses incentive & safety issues for migrating the ecosystem to post quantum cryptography. Anyone who cares about the value of their BTC should support this proposal.
Today we publish a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal addressing incentive & safety issues for migrating the ecosystem to post quantum cryptography. BIP timeframes are relative to a future point at which quantum computers are deemed a significant threat. github.com/jlopp/bips/blob/q
