"People who say that crypto or blockchain does not have real utility live in a bubble, because they live in countries where the financial system works perfectly for them and because they have not seen how it is to have a broken financial system.”
Crypto. Saves. Lives.
Still a skeptic? See the onchain effect of @Decaf_so, @StellarOrg, @MoneyGram, and @circle in Colombia.
The chatgpt desktop app has been completely unusable on many macs for a week following the GitHub issues and my own experience. @thsottiaux any ideas what’s happening?
Lots of options for cloud agents (Claude, Orbs, Cursor, Warp, Devin, ...), they're just slightly different UX.
Claude Code Cloud is especially good at multi-repo multi-pr management and my go to.
What's missing is an open source "cloud agents". Does anything exist for that yet?

@NIST now puts the quantum threat to today's cryptography at 2029 and beyond. Every blockchain, not to mention the encryption technology behind every major industry, faces the same migration.
Stellar's advantage: account identity is separate from signing keys. No one has to abandon the account they already have to become quantum-safe.
The plan 👇

Stellar continues to be one of best blockchains for real world use.
DTCC and the Stellar Development Foundation announced today plans to enable the tokenization of DTC‑custodied assets on the @StellarOrg network. This collaboration advances DTCC’s multi chain strategy and expands how traditional assets move across digital ecosystems.
DTC‑tokenized assets are expected to be made available on the Stellar network in the first half of 2027, supporting the evolution of a more open, interoperable, and efficient financial ecosystem.

4/ So why did Stellar get picked? And why might it actually work? First, unlike some other projects in this space, Stellar is actually open access. Don't believe me? Go make a wallet right now! You can! It's easy! You can also see what is going on. The chain is right there.

This is the one we've been working toward (and worthy of my very first 🧵).
Today, @The_DTCC and @StellarOrg announced that DTC custodied assets will be tokenizable on the Stellar network.

Today, @The_DTCC and SDF are announcing plans to enable the tokenization of DTC-custodied assets on Stellar.
The connection supports the rapid conversion of traditional assets into tokenized form, and the full asset lifecycle, including corporate actions and reporting.

Unfortunately, he’s right: Stellar has no “economic security” :(
You have to choose your counterparties. No spicy anonymous Russian validators.
You can’t front-run users. There’s no MEV market.
You can’t upcharge fees. Validators don’t get paid.
You can’t pull reorg attacks. Instant finality.
You can’t hide shady behavior. Validators are public.
You can’t buy authority. The community has to give you its trust.
You can’t get away with bad behavior. Anyone can revoke their trust.
Terrible system.
What's that saying about trying every bad solution before stumbling on the right one? Keep trying guys.
Sorry to interrupt the party, but Stellar is not a legitimate blockchain and does not offer any of the guarantees of a good one. There is no economic security, just a fantasy about "overlapping quorum" among disparate slices. It's BFT with a built in assumption that generals from different countries will magically agree on everything forever.
I'm not surprised DTCC would go this route, since Stellar's design allows them to maintain control and pick their counterparties. But that's why it'll fail.
I'd call this announcement innovation theater but it's not even innovative, Stellar has been around a decade and achieved nothing.
Anyway, you may now return to your Suit Simp celebration.

AI code assistants can be super useful, but *please* don't YOLO your file system! These tools have been known to wipe entire drives. I'm excited to release a near-effortless way to reduce the blast radius: jai.scs.stanford.edu/

✨ @StellarOrg sets a new all-time high
A single block just reached 356 tx/s, a 40% jump in peak throughput
For a network powering real-world blockchain solutions and expanding financial access, higher performance means greater reach and impact 🌍

Solidity smart contracts on Stellar are looking more and more real. Excellent work by the Solang team medium.com/@salaheldin_sameh…
This applies to most agents I think. I find myself frequently starting new threads. Often not bothering with summarising or bringing context. Use a fast model and prioritise solutions that are easy to understand and it can rediscover the relevant without the noise.
Wrote a guide on how to get the most out of the context window in Amp:

I think one of the tricks of working with AI effectively, especially if you're using a parallel workflow, is to set it up to work inside what you can take on as cognitive load. The limits of context switching and the steep effort of reviewing big prs do not disappear.
