@JasonPLowery was at pains in #Softwar to establish the subtle truth that ‘object-oriented’ software design concepts are arbitrarily derived abstractions…
…SO THAT he could establish the proper department to analyze the abstraction “COIN” as belonging to cybersecurity and computer science.
Hey Spaceboi, Wen DoD gonna start strategically STOCKPILING Bitcoin? 👀

She should have mocked Charlie Kirk’s death instead. She would have been given a professorship by the school.

Why is nobody talking about the fact that Senator John Thune suddenly has a BLACK EYE? 👁️🧐

Raising boys is hard enough as it is. But the thought of all the porn so easily accessible is mind-boggling.
I’m ashamed of us as human beings.
As Christians. As people of every faith that believes in God.
Under the guise of free speech, we’ve allowed unlimited access to a demonic plague that hunts and takes souls.
Abused women. Perverted men. Fueled by greed, lust, and every sin that kills the spirit of the world.
Why aren’t we all agreeing to ban porn?
What’s wrong with us?

The information war on coffee is a parallel to the 5GW we are currently experiencing. So much information no one knows if its good or bad. Also, this is a trash observational study. 😆 🤣
Physical power always overpowers abstract power. But the question of moral power, physical power, as well as abstract power projection has yet to be answered thoroughly.
W/out ethics, physical power projection resolves to “might is right.”
🚨 You can’t make this up!
Joe and Jill Biden showed up in Dublin to watch HUNTER BIDEN receive an award for "public discourse."
It ended in total CHAOS as angry protesters pelted them with milk cartons and cops had to intervene.
A complete and total global embarrassment!

Hey @saylor and @saylordotorg if I write a book on S. Thomas Aquinas and Proof-of-Work, will you include it not only in your library, but in your course offerings?
Think about it: A measure deserves trust to the degree that its issuer cannot change it, and the surest way to keep an issuer from changing a measure is to make the measure costly to produce in the physical world.
Ptolemy and Oresme tied the honesty of money to the restraint of the prince. Today, we tie it to physics, because physics cannot be bribed into restraint.

BREAKING: Groups behind the November 7 anti-Elon Musk protest in Austin have been linked to funding from George Soros’s Open Society network.
Fox News identified the organizers. Tax filings show that two of them received Open Society grants.
Fox News also reported that some of the same groups helped lead the 2025 Tesla Takedown protests. Indivisible, another Open Society grant recipient, was a lead organizer of the 2025 Hands Off protests against Musk and Trump.
Soros hates humanity.

.@SECWAR “MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING. This is not about me.
Politicians in Washington have accused the sailors and pilots who struck narco-terrorist boats of WAR CRIMES for doing their job.
Senators in cute videos have suggested the same.
This resolution is the next step: put the Secretary on trial today, and the men and women who carried out those orders tomorrow.
IF THEY WANT TO COME FOR THE WARRIORS, THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO COME THROUGH ME.”
Aquinas: 'truth is adaequatio rei et intellectus,' i.e., truth is the conformity of the intellect and thing. Similarly, proof-of-work runs the same order: the ledger doesn't decree reality, it answers to energy actually spent.
Secular Humanity: "The mind is the measure of all things."
Wrong: "All things measure the mind."
Same goes for fiat money: there can be no consensus by fiat, but only truth measured by the real, i.e., Bitcoin is 'proof-of-real.'

Hey @JasonPLowery maybe someday, somebody will write a book analyzing why physical power without justice is just force...
BTW, here is a link to the Second Survivability Problem: Connecting Cold War Deterrence Theory to Proof-of Work Defense in Cyberspace.
Let me know if you want it signed 🐸

All Tesla Cybertruck trims are now sold out for 2026, with estimated delivery dates now showing January-March 2027 (from Dec-Jan before).
• Premium AWD: $92,490 (Jan-March 2027)
• Cyberbeast: $102,490 (Jan-March 2027)
If you want a Cybertruck, order now. Elon warned that Tesla may not be able to fulfill the entire order backlog before shutting down the line, which will result in some people getting order fee refunds. They'll be dismantling the Cybertruck production line around June/July 2027 for Cybercab expansion.

Goodbye forever, Dave Chappelle 👋🏻
I never would have thought that purchasing digital copies on Amazon could later come with the frustration of being unable to throw them away 🚮

Saifedean is on the NGU Bitcoin team. Why is this so hard to understand. Bitcoin protects value - therefore if it’s worth nothing, it’s not done its job.
How do we judge if it’s doing its job?
Price goes up - this does not need to be religious.

Jack Kruse says Bitcoin would be at $300K–$400K if @Saylor hadn't created the preferreds and other treasury companies hadn't followed.
I respect Jack, but the numbers say the opposite.
In 2026 alone, corporate treasuries added about 193,000 BTC, roughly 1.4x everything miners produced. Strategy holds about 848,000 BTC.
The money raised from those preferreds didn't sit idle. It bought Bitcoin.
So who was selling?
→ Miners. MARA sold about 23,000 BTC in six months. Riot sold 10,599 in one quarter. Most are dumping coins to build AI data centers.
→ Long-term holders taking profits after the $126K top.
→ Leveraged traders wiped out in June.
Remove the treasury companies and you remove the biggest buyers in the market, not the sellers.
Is there a fair criticism? Yes. Leverage adds fragility, and capital spent defending preferreds isn't capital buying Bitcoin.
But "Saylor cost Bitcoin $300K" doesn't hold up.
Without the buyers, the price goes down, not up.
Really enjoyed this interview yesterday. I disagree with Jack on a lot of shit, but I fucking love people who are authentic and unapologetic.
In a world drowning in fakeness, bullshit, and people too scared to say what they actually think, Jack doesn’t give a fuck. He speaks his mind, pisses people off, and doesn’t apologize for it. I personally respect and admire thats a lot.
Great interview. Had some good laughs, and it was refreshing to hear someone who isn’t constantly trying to please everybody.
