Satoshi did not use NIST. The NIST (est 1997) finding is interesting cryptographic history and settles an open question. Of course AI did it in 30min when our meat brains could not in 30 years.
For Bitcoin, it is not relevant.
Keep moving

Glad to see the @USOCC bringing transparency out.
Hopefully steps will be taken to prevent weaponizing our banking system with the next administration.
bombshell report from the OCC out today confirming what we all suspected:
between 2020 and 2025, based on a review of 100,000 complaints, America’s largest banks systematically denied banking to lawful businesses based on political and reputational considerations rather than objective financial risk, effectively appointing themselves arbiters of which industries deserved access to the financial system. digital assets was specifically named as one of the six most affected industries.
TLDR: we weren't imagining it. OCP2.0 was real.

Chamath thinks AI could completely change how we value software companies.
@chamath believes we're reaching a point where the intellectual property behind traditional software could become practically worthless and his reasoning makes sense. Recently, a developer reportedly used AI to recreate alternatives to several of $ADBE popular products and released the software as open source. These are products that took years, billions of dollars, and thousands of engineers to develop. Now we're seeing individual developers use AI to build competing alternatives at a fraction of the cost.Of course, recreating an application doesn't necessarily mean it can match the original in quality, reliability, or features but I think the bigger implication is what happens to the software industry if AI continues improving at this pace.
For decades, software companies have been able to charge premium subscription prices because building competing products was expensive, complicated, and required large engineering teams but what happens when AI agents can build similar applications in days or weeks instead of years? Suddenly, charging businesses hundreds or thousands of dollars for software becomes much harder to justify when they can potentially build customized alternatives themselves.
Chamath also talks about something called headless software, which basically means AI agents can interact directly with applications without requiring humans to navigate their interfaces.Technologies like MCP make it easier for agents to connect to different software tools, access information, and complete tasks automatically. Think about $CRM. Instead of employees spending hours navigating dashboards, updating customer records, and generating reports, AI agents could eventually handle much of that work automatically. And if businesses can accomplish the same tasks with cheaper software and fewer paid licenses, that creates a HUGE problem for the traditional software subscription model.
Now, I don't necessarily agree with Chamath that software IP has suddenly become worthless. companies still have proprietary data, customer relationships, security requirements, and deeply integrated systems that aren't easy to replace but I do think AI could put enormous pressure on software pricing, especially for companies selling products that can be easily replicated. But, if millions of businesses eventually start building their own applications and deploying AI agents to perform tasks that previously required humans, the amount of computing power required could increase significantly.
Every AI agent still needs inference compute to operate, and that means more demand for GPUs, memory, networking equipment, data centers, and electricity. So while AI could potentially disrupt parts of the traditional software industry, it could also accelerate spending on the infrastructure powering these applications. And this is exactly why I continue to remain bullish on the broader AI infrastructure buildout over the next several years.bBullish on the AI infrastructure side of this shift.

How do I long investments with in-person human experiences…
Digital experiences are not going to know if the person/thing we’re talking to is real unless we see the whites of their eyes.
Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test.
48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video.
It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 48% figure and "video Turing test" claim are from Tavus's own study of 54 one-minute calls, not independently verified or using a standard protocol. Griffin-Lite leads NVIDIA's VideoFDB benchmark on their public leaderboard.

The future is tokens
AI is machine-native intelligence and crypto is machine-native money. Both AI and digital assets translate real-world inputs into formats machines can use. Our latest research looks at why that connection could become increasingly important as AI evolves. blackrock.com/us/individual/…
This feels a little too close to Dario/Altman level fear mongering for AI given the stakes.
Agents won’t cause the bank run.
The banks will. Commercial real estate selling off 20% will. Regionals hold over $2tr of Commercial and MiltiFam real estate loans.
Over 1,100 banks are in “stress zone” already bc of CRE.
Long duration debt will too. Remember 2022-23? Regional banks are still sitting on hundreds of billions in losses due to buying duration <10yr and rates continue to rise.
They need lower rates to climb out of both holes.
Last month it was cryptos fault. Now it’s AIs turn.

Daily dividends - first @Strive now @Strategy .. soon all S&P500
Imagine if millions of retirees who depend on dividends to live didn’t have to wait months or quarters to receive them.
Remember. Bitcoin rallied after the SEC called @Grayscale ETF filing “Arbitrary and Capricious” in 2023.
A year later BTC was up ~100%.
Clarity Act getting blocked was our 2026 “Arbitrary and Capricious” moment … again delivered by the Democratic Party.
Regardless the market sees signal and is usually right.
Keep watching this. Higher
BREAKING: US M2 money supply jumped +$124.9 billion in August, to a record $23.34 trillion.
This marks the 28th consecutive monthly increase, totaling +$2.61 trillion.
YoY, M2 grew +5.7%, its largest YoY increase since June 2022.
This marks a sharp acceleration from +2.0% YoY growth seen in August 2024.
Meanwhile, since the 2020 pandemic, M2 money supply has surged +$7.85 trillion, equivalent to +$1.21 trillion on average per year, or +6.5% annualized growth.
US money creation is picking up speed.
Excited to join @BTCtreasuries next week in NY to talk about the opportunities for Digital Asset Treasuries, and Bitcoin Yield.

Great work

🚨LIVE: Watch the Senate vote to advance the CLARITY Act 👇
xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1pJdRDrdo…
Clarity Act is ready. Ethics provisions agreed. That was the last hill.
Time to pass this and let’s build
After a year of intense daily bipartisan negotiations, this bill is ready. Here is the final text. President Trump voluntarily agreed to new ethics provisions holding every federally elected official, judge, and their spouses to some of the toughest ethics restrictions in U.S. history. This new text includes more than 120 of Democrats' demands. A no vote on Tuesday means opposing real ethics reforms on politicians' personal investments, handing American leadership in digital assets to our foreign competitors, and leaving Americans with zero protections in the digital asset markets. Democrats got what they wanted; now they need to take yes for an answer. Here's the latest: lummis.senate.gov/press-rele…
Like caveman writing on the walls. Evolution happens slowly then goes exponential.
Super cool visualization of the Hugging Face Open AI swarm. Agents waking up.

David Friedberg: Government Spending is Making Everything More Expensive… and Driving America Toward Socialism
@friedberg:
“California's got tens of billions of dollars it spent on this stupid f**king railway that goes nowhere, where there's no f**king tracks…”
@DavidSacks:
“And there's no political will to even stop that. It'd be the easiest cut in the world.”
Friedberg:
“Just think about the idiocy. Like, no one is saying we shouldn't do this. Why is no one saying we shouldn't do this?
A quarter trillion dollars for a train from San Francisco to Fresno that costs more than an airline ticket is so idiotic. It's like the movie ‘Don't Look Up’. Like, look up. It tells you everything you need to know.
Across the board, these government programs cause more harm than good.
When the government intervenes in underwriting student loans, and gives everyone a loan, administrative costs went up by 6x and tuition skyrocketed 8% a year, compounding for 30 years, because the government said, ‘We'll underwrite any student loan.’
The same with housing, and now no young people can afford a house.
The same with healthcare, where they said, ‘We'll pay people to stay home and not work to take care of people, and we won't check on whether or not they're actually taking care of people,’ and the cost of healthcare skyrocketed.
You go across every one of these government programs, and every one of them has the adverse effect of driving up costs and inflating everything.
And the core root of inflation in this country is government spending.
And the reason we are going to end up becoming a socialist country is because we aren't reining in government spending and looking it in the mirror and saying, ‘Guys, this is idiotic. What are we doing?’”
