Satoshi was asked this directly. In a January 2011 email to Mike Hearn he wrote: "I didn't find anything to recommend a curve type so I just... picked one." The NSA-backdoor reason is a theory people added later, and the nice side effect is that secp256k1 has no seed at all (its equation is just yยฒ = xยณ + 7), so this mystery never touched Bitcoin's curve.

๐Ÿšจ BITCOIN IS HANGING ON THE 200 WEEK MOVING AVERAGE. This is the line that held every bear market before. Right now price is sitting right on it near 62K. If it breaks, it can get ugly fast. The support ladder below. โ€ข 250W near $58K,000: Likely. โ€ข 300W near $54K,000: Possible. โ€ข 350W near $48K,000: Unlikely, but BIG opportunity. This is exactly the zone I have been mapping for my $20,000,000 Bitcoin trade.

The last time LINK broke out of a macro wedge, it went on a MONUMENTAL run. This time will eclipse it. - Greater Use Case - Greater Adoption - Whales Ripping it Off Exchanges - Strong Branding - $30 Trillion Enabled @chainlink is built different.

The coolest thing about $LINK is no matter how much bullish news they post the price never goes up.

People underestimate how long it takes to win big. You struggle for 10 years. Eventually, in one day, you achieve more than you did your entire life. Be patiently aggressive.

Itโ€™s definitely not the best cypherpunks in the world putting together a hackathon series to advance zcash, privacy, and sovereignty, anon teapawt.net/fhenix/status/19893785โ€ฆ
1/ We're sponsoring the Zypherpunk Hackathon for @Zcash (Nov 10 - Dec 1) with $15,000 in bounties. Why? Because privacy without programmability is like having a safe you can't open. ๐Ÿงต

Why do I keep talking about TEEโ€™s? Because 2025 will be the year of the TEE with focus on AI+Blockchain wrapped in PRIVACY Zero Knowledge Proofs are great for scaling & single user privacy, but are poorly equipped to handle private compute Enter @SecretNetwork and @fhenix among other DeCC / DePIN Imagine being able to combine TEE + ZKP + MPC (TC) + FHE into a smart contract w/programmable PRIVACY for all or specific subsets of data $SCRT was born an all star, leading the way for privacy in web3 since day one, half a decade ago! Secret contracts available on Ethereum, ZKsync, Polygon, Arbitrum, Solana, Cronos, Gnosis, SEI, Linea, Lisk, moonbeam, Aurora, XDC, the Cosmos and more! Privacy = Functionality Decentralized Confidential Computing (DeCC) and Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) will shine.

You probably think this is some crazy sci-fi fantasy but it's really not. It's an existing high-end OEM robot with a custom casing and face. The code is open source and anyone can hack on it. Has NVIDIA Isaac Lab integration so you can develop in the simulator.
BREAKING: @elizawakesup and our collaborators are building one of the most advanced humanoid robots ever released outside of research labs. This isn't hyperbole โ€” this is a watershed moment in robotics, ai, crypto, and tech. elizawakesup.ai/robotics @ai16zdao @OldWorldLabs @AI__Combinator @RyzeLabs @eliza_studios
