Had the pleasure of interviewing @JeremykCPR . Jeremy founded the first cell phone repair (CPR) franchise in 2004 and is widely considered the “God Father of the Cell Phone Repair industry”. Jeremy sold his ownership stake in the Cell Phone Repair business in 2013, but stayed on in a consulting capacity. In 2019, the Cell Phone Repair franchise with over 700 locations worldwide was sold to Assurant - a 10+ billion dollar publicly traded company.

Private proof of stake seems a lot more important in the current AI era
You just can't afford to let people know which holders and block producers to attack

18 years ago today, a stranger changed money forever.
On October 31, 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto sent a 9-page paper to a cryptography mailing list with an idea and a name nobody had heard before: "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System."
Two months later, Satoshi mined the very first block and hid a London Times headline inside of it about banks on the brink of a second bailout. Days later, the first transaction on Bitcoin took place, with 10 BTC moving from Satoshi to Hal Finney.
By 2010, Bitcoin was real enough that Laszlo Hanyecz traded 10,000 of them for two pizzas.
And then Satoshi started to fade. The forum posts stopped in December 2010, and in April 2011, one last email said "moved on to other things."
Since then, $BTC has grown far beyond what anyone could have imagined, even without its creator.
It survived four halvings, became legal tender in El Salvador, Wall Street got spot ETFs, the US government created a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, and in October 2025, it touched an all-time high of $126,198.
Happy 18th Birthday, Bitcoin! 🎂🧡
Any country that cannot build its own compiuters cannot defend its own sovereignty.

❗️ Cargo thieves have stolen more than $100M in hardware bound for US data centers since June, NBC News reports.
They hijack freight-broker accounts, post fake loads and send carriers malware links to take over their accounts too.
In one of the biggest heists, an SUV struck the security escort of a trailer carrying ~$10M in server rack components from California to Texas.
The trailer sped off. An app was tracking it, but its coordinates had apparently been spoofed.
In another, a sedan hit the off-duty police escorts of a $13M server load bound for Georgia, and the trailer drove on.
None of the equipment from either load has been found.
Why do we give senior discounts again?
We already have UBI. You just have to be 62 or older and you receive it whether you need it or not.
We already have socialized healthcare. You just have to be 65 or over. Whether you need it or not.
You can have your property tax subsidized by others. If you’re 65 or over. Whether you need it or not.
We’ve been doing socialism it’s just based on the stupidest possible metric.
The US needs more builders like Andrew!
PCBs made in America. Twice as fast as Shenzhen.
Today @CircuitHub is unveiling The Grid, our factory-scale robot in Massachusetts that builds circuit boards on demand.
No changeovers, no per-design setup. Prototypes and production batches, fully automated.
The world needs decentralized ledgers and hardware to make elections trully fair and square.
The predicate for what the US does here will be a little different from Maduro.
Lula doesn't run a drug empire worthy of a season of Breaking Bad, at least that we know of.
There is no case for the DOJ.
But that won't save Lula.
It just means the US will resort to the simple stuff.
Overthrowing the government using a dizzying array of dirty tricks and then having Lula assassinated either by US forces or US sponsored insurgents.

You can fix america in under 4 years:
Year 1-
Raise taxes 10%.
Cut spending 10%.
This will lead to a budget surplus.
Pay down a small amount of debt.
Year 2-
Stay the course.
Do not buckle, start new wars, start spending.
Pay down another small chunk of debt.
Year 3-
The bond market sees we are serious.
Interest rates will fall to zero. literally as low as we have ever seen.
With it, mortgage rates go down to covid levels.
Economy grows 5%+.
Year 4-
Refinance all outstanding debt.
Bumps up rates, but still well under what spot is now.
By the end of the 4 years, the US economy is growing faster than anyone else on earth.
Borrowing costs are at all time lows.
The extra tax revenue more than covers the short term cuts we had to do.
everyone is richer, we secure another 250 years of the american empire, there is more money for everything.
At any point, any political party can do this.
but its like cooking a meal vs doordashing taco bell.
Its harder to do, so no one does it.
Lots of reports that many iPhone duo users allegedly easily crack the screen.
Lets be honest - foldable phones are not the best idea.
Humbly. As a guest that does not require my guests to do any cleaning, I understand why some properties do.
Airbnb hosts a wide array of none traditional homes such as remote wilderness locations were no bedding is even given and a guests are asked to tidy up and clean up as their really is no cleaning crew thats going to get to the property before the next guest.
Airbnb will lose this sub market and maybe thats the goal.

AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile are jointly lobbying the FCC to preserve existing rules as @SpaceX moves closer to launching its own independent cellular network that would compete directly with the three major U.S. carriers.
On Oct 20th, reps from all three major U.S. wireless carriers met with FCC officials to push back against proposed changes that would give satellite companies more freedom to offer cellular service.
The carriers urged the FCC to:
• Block satellite companies from using certain 5G frequencies currently used by wireless carriers.
• Keep rules requiring satellite companies to get permission from wireless carriers before using their licensed spectrum.
• Allow wireless carriers to maintain control over these agreements, including the ability to end them.
• Reconsider proposed interference limits to protect existing cellular networks.
Based on all the public communications from these carriers, and the lobbying, they are clearly worried that SpaceX's @Starlink Mobile network is going to be a major competitor to them. Starlink Mobile will become the first network operator to deploy both satellite and terrestrial spectrum.
The FCC recently announced that they are considering new rules that could make it easier for satellite companies like SpaceX to offer cellular service without relying as heavily on existing wireless carriers, so this is partly what the three big carriers are fighting against.

.@jayleno says the middle of the consumer market is disappearing, from cars to hotels to restaurants.
"The middle is dead."
"I see Porsche moving upscale and they want to be like Ferrari."
"Everything is that way now. With hotels, you're either at the Motel 6 or the Four Seasons."
"Restaurants are either fast food or top end restaurant."
"We have no middle class anymore."
