Dear 2026, I’m coining a new term… β€œPerformance Artware” β€” vibecoded software with layers of entertainment around it that makes you feel like you actually may be living through an AI bubble, even though you do see some semblance of utility there.

Wake me up when AI figures out how to make a printer that actually works reliably. This is my litmus test for superintelligence.

Grateful for this bear market in a weird way. There’s a lot that you hear from experienced market participants that you really have to experience for yourself to set in. Seeing and/or experiencing real pain creates the desire for proper risk management in the future.

Even if you thought BTC could go to $10K from current prices, with a 2025 target of $180K you're looking at a 1:9 risk-reward ratio with 50% potential downside but 900% upside. Invest 1% of your portfolio, you're risking 0.5% with 9% upside to your overall holdings. No brainer.

People from Nigeria, Ethiopia, Senegal, Togo, Venezuela, and Afghanistan keep telling me here in person how they use bitcoin to deal with authoritarian bank control or persistent inflation that continually wrecks their savings. While westerners on Twitter say it’s useless.

Graph algorithms be damned. I could have multiple mapping applications running at the same time, with real-time traffic and crowdsourced data, all verifying the same exact route. As soon as my mother gets in the car and I step on the gas, she’ll tell me I’m going the wrong way. – at Washington, DC
