🎉 We’re celebrating the first anniversary of the Trezor Safe 7 hardware wallet, secured by TROPIC01 and launched at the Trustless by Design event in Prague in October 2025. 🔧 Trezor Safe 7’s PIN protection runs through our TROPIC01 chip, a secure element whose design is published for audit. Trezor uses it to encrypt the wallet seed on the MCU, with keys from TROPIC01 and a second secure element effectively creating three layers of security working against attackers. 📂 TROPIC01’s PIN scheme, its API and Trezor’s integration code are public, so you can see how a shipping wallet uses the chip.

THIS IS INSANE!!! A San Francisco startup says it just turned mercury into real gold. The company is Marathon Fusion. This week they announced they'd made stable gold using fusion neutrons, at 10x the record CERN set in 2025. CERN's record was 29 picograms over four years. So nobody's pouring bars yet. The method is what got me. You hit mercury-198 with a fusion neutron. It loses a neutron, becomes mercury-197, and over the next few days decays into gold-197. The exact same gold sitting in central bank vaults. Their 2025 paper says a one-gigawatt fusion plant built this way could make around 2 tonnes of gold a year as a side product, while it's selling electricity. I've said it for years. Gold is a shiny rock. It's valuable because there's only so much of it and pulling it out of the ground is hard and expensive. If this holds up, gold's scarcity turns into an engineering problem. And you can only delay technical progress. You can't stop it. To be fair, the gold comes out mixed with radioactive isotopes and would need to sit for well over a decade before it's safe to touch. Nobody outside the company has verified the result yet, and commercial fusion is still years away. Peter Schiff has spent years telling everyone Bitcoin has no intrinsic value. This week a startup says it made gold out of mercury. There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin. No reactor on Earth can make one more.
Last month, we demonstrated high-rate alchemy: turning mercury into real, stable gold, beating CERN’s record by a factor of 10. Last week, we enriched isotopes in the world’s most powerful plasma centrifuge, beating the Soviet record that stood for 40 years. Now, we’re building a fusion reactor in San Francisco to achieve record power density.

Introducing Bitwater: the water heater element that mines Bitcoin. It screws into the electric tank you already have. Physically decentralized mining that runs no matter what 🧵 Heat water. Mine Bitcoin. Same tank.

A perfect depiction of the decay that comes with a high velocity trash economy enabled by fiat money.

A Golden Cross appeared on the chart in September. Why does it matter? A Golden Cross occurs when two moving averages cross. In the past, such crossovers have often signalled a change in Bitcoin’s price trend. In October 2025, a Death Cross pushed us into a downtrend. Now a Golden Cross is pointing the other way.

Yes, I have same concern like this. It is a reckless race for money and power. Unfortunately, the stakes are the future of humanity. In the best-case scenario, we would cut ourselves off from current technologies and networks, start from scratch, and do things better.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

"We've watched Spain become one of Europe's most Bitcoin-curious markets, and the data confirms it: adoption here already leads its peers. What's held people back isn't apathy — it's the absence of regulated, trustworthy infrastructure. That's precisely why we pursued a MiCA licence rather than operate in a grey zone. Entering Spain in full regulatory compliance, with Aldona (@MadBitcoin_) leading the market, is a natural next step in building the accumulation-first, Bitcoin-only neobank we set out to create."

Lifestyle creep je situace, kdy s rostoucím příjmem automaticky a často nevědomě rostou i vaše výdaje. Ne o jednorázovou radost, ale o trvalé navýšení standardu. To, co bylo včera luxusem, se dnes stává „nutností“. Je to pomalé. Proto je to nebezpečné.
