For a young founder on a shoestring budget, it meant the world. I know many people that originally learned about me and my security work through this newsletter.

Celebrating that Virgil Griffith is being released tomorrow, after having served his 63-month term in a carceral space of American empire. While I am happy for Virgil and his loved ones, I am still disgusted by the country that imprisoned him.

Generative Art Edition on Bitcoin, immutably inscribed on-chain using recursions. Stoked to see already 30+ editions minted - each one adding to the story. This won’t stay open forever, and the final supply number will be something to watch as it carves its place in the future.

A noteworthy amount of people who are OGs in the space discovered Bitcoin from 4chan or Silk Road. Top Ethereum protocol researchers are here because of darknet markets - usage or hearing about it in the news.

There's a very interesting fiasco playing out at Bluesky currently. For those not following, Bluesky is a social network based on a theoretically decentralized identity system (atproto). Practically, there's only 1 implementation and 1 app to interface it: Bluesky.

The idea is to migrate from a monolithic “builder” entity to a distributed building process, that doesn’t necessarily replace today’s actors so much as it lets them specialize, e.g. in searching, or more efficient merging techniques, which they can be paid for.

Full nodes have become inaccessible. 4TB hard drives are expected to be required in 6 months. Light clients are coming, and we'll see their adoption gradually. Helios, Portal, and Nimbus are currently leading this way. also EIP - 4444 is quite important.
