A brutal year for Bitcoin is just getting started. Give me three minutes to explain why you should dump it now. Outflows from ETFs are signal and will continue. We will test the 57k low again in the next 12 months. Why? Because there are far too many dynamic places to put your money that are creating MUCH more value. Why put your resources into a dead network that offers nothing beyond a store of value? What's the point of place the BTC be if Bitcoin's Ponzi-scheme nature has gone away!?! The viral nature of bitcoin was it's power... if you didn't own you were MOCKED! Now? Completely reasonable, heck, SMARTER, to ignore bitcoin and place other bets! No one is trying to convince people to buy Bitcoin anymore... the memes and NFTs are gone. No one is saying $ BTC can change the world, because it won't — and BECAUSE AI HAS! Just sell and shift from Bitcoin to Super Intelligence because one provides little to no value, and the other provides unlimited upside for humanity. This should be obvious to everyone right now. Bitcoin will never break its all-time high again.
Two weeks ago we launched the Safenet Aegis protocol and last week it was integrated in Safe{Wallet}. This is a big milestone we delivered right before Devcon. As AI accelerates attacks on self-custody, we have to build better defences. Defence paradigms today are just UI warnings, and they won’t be enough. Safenet wants to replace the warning with a verdict from independent security firms, attested onchain and enforced on the account itself. The release has gone through audits and the Safenet Guard has gone through formal verification. Aegis is the first release that checks real transactions, enforces the result on the account, and pays the Sentinels doing the work. It is now live on Ethereum, Arbitrum and Gnosis Chain. With the Safe{Wallet} integration that went live last week the checks are present in the UI. Next will be the Guard enforcement integration. The next phases on the roadmap will be about running and scaling the network. Q1 2027 puts the network under more throughput, scales arbitration and iterates on the token model based on real data. Beyond that, more wallets, networks and specialized Sentinels are on the roadmap: https://docs.safefoundation.org/safenet-… Thanks to the Sentinels and Validators who committed to building with us. Thanks to you, we have a new innovation in defensive tech against the rising attacks on self-custody.

GM! Today on @farcaster_xyz Resistance HQ Diaries: Staryear 2026 | Day 11 of the Resistance Dear diary, I regret to inform you that we have uncovered a rather disturbing situation. We are grateful our fellow peasant @GeesMike who built an app to remind us of our sacred duty to obey the Network Code and help us understand how FREEDOM works. But perhaps the Code only applies to us peasants? Looks like our Supreme Leader has been violating his own sacred code! 7 charges. 2 felonies. 5 infractions! 🤯 According to the sacred code, the punishment for a felony is BAN. Very reasonable. We, the peasants fully support law and order. I feel deeply deceived. The overwhelming outpouring of support for our democratically democratic digital democracy has been overshadowed by this unfortunate discovery. And now we also face a constitutional crisis. Who bans the man who invented the bans? 🤷♀️ I invite my fellow peasants to examine @balajis docket and help us navigate this unprecedented constitutional emergency. Together, we must find a way to BAN BALAJI FROM FARCASTER and keep it family friendly. Long live the Network Code! 🔥 app link below, to be continued…
Microsoft is offering buyouts to 60,000(!) employees. Headcount and revenue growth is really starting to diverge at tech companies.

pov: your wallet is signing stuff you never signed off on Rabby Wallet quietly hooks every new wallet up to their own Hyperliquid ref code. 47,122 wallets already roped in, Debank going paid next? Arkham style?)
I am okay with Kimi 3.1 deliberately leaving out top-end offensive cyber capabilities from their training data. Discriminating against use cases is MUCH less bad than discriminating against users. And the world does need all the time it can get to prepare, harden, check old code, (properly) formally verify new code, etc before the full weight of very powerful cyber attacks is upon us. And if this first big wave of AI risk is not handled well, then we may well get a dystopia of highly locked down models, KYC gating on everything, highly intrusive surveillance on everything, a society where you may be a second or third or fourth-class citizen in terms of model access based on your credentials and nationality.
Hackers managed to steal authentication keys for devices made by @KeystoneWallet I don't understand one thing here however. During manufacturing, as part of the factory self test in initial boot you have the device generate & save a private key on its own, and take note of the public key. If you have private keys to be stolen, it means that *somehow* a copy of the key exists outside of the secure element on the device? If the manufacturing process involves each device's private key existing outside of the device, there's something that needs urgent improvement. Have the device generate the key and include its own public key as part of its self test report, not the other way around.
WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤬
