🚨 🇫🇷 BITCHAT EXPLOSE EN FRANCE
Alors que les manifestations étudiantes prennent de l’ampleur, Bitchat, l’application de messagerie décentralisée de Jack Dorsey, connaîtrait une forte hausse de popularité en France.
Sa particularité ? Elle permet de communiquer sans connexion Internet ni réseau mobile.
Concrètement :
→ Fonctionne grâce à un réseau maillé Bluetooth.
→ Aucun Wi-Fi, numéro de téléphone ou e-mail nécessaire.
→ Permet d’échanger des messages entre appareils à proximité, même lorsque les réseaux mobiles sont saturés.
Selon certains manifestants, l’application pourrait également faciliter les communications en cas de restrictions d’accès aux réseaux sociaux. x.com/BitcoinNewsCom…

I built an open-source chain analysis tool that anyone can use.
It requires no payment, no login, and no data you search is ever seen by Tracey’s server.
Everything you search in Tracey is processed directly in your browser.
All of Tracey’s heuristics are public and have comings. The entire website comes with tooltips explaining to you what each step does. Most of its clustering rules are pulled from the disclosed research papers, some I wrote myself to be more conservative.
I built Tracey for myself, but thought it might be useful to other people as well – especially in light of all the recent thefts of funds. It can’t help you create evidence, but it may help you find some leads on where your money is moving on bitcoin. 1/4 🔽

cleaning up my icloud notes and found this from 2025.
"I've instead bought into the worldview that liberal democracy with strong/competent institutions and strong social safety net coupled with strong protections for the most vulnerable is the best system. The problem is, making such a system work requires a lot of effort and never-ending work to maintain government and social institutions that are competent, effective, and responsive to the people."
no idea where it came from. i know i didn't write it but it must have resonated enough that i saved it.

this is very bad policy. i hate to see america behaving like sweden. we need to fix this.
My O-1 visa got denied :(
I have about half a year left to leave the country. It sucks but I'm positive about it. I truly believe things will work out if I'm building something great.
With @instabox_sh, we got into YC and raised $8M. Personally, I have served as a hackathon search paper, and have seven recommendation letters from infra experts and staff-level engineers. But I guess it's still not enough 🥲
I'm having my @bot help me look for other lawyers recommended by YC.
Worst case, I'll just leave the country and figure out another way to come back to the US.
But no matter what and where I end up, I will keep working on InstaBox 😤

another one off cashu project for magical(.)cash. this time we're hardware hacking.
this is cashu pixel. it's built with a pi zero 2 w and a hyperpixel 4.0 display. it displays cashu qr codes that anyone can claim by scanning with a cashu wallet.

I’m beginning to suspect you don’t really have any clue what you’re talking about and are just sort of autistic and on amphetamines. I still support but feeling glum

🚨 PARAGUAY 🇵🇾 RIOTS IN THE STREETS AFTER 3 MILLION PEOPLE GOT LOCKED OUT OF THEIR OWN MONEY
The central bank shut down Ueno Bank, one of the biggest banks in the country.
3 million customers. About 60% of all adults in Paraguay.
Salaries. Pensions. Savings. FROZEN.
No app. n $380 million of the state pension fund is stuck inside.
Covid locked people inside their homes. This locked them out of their own money.
Then it turned POLITICAL.
President Santiago Peña, the right-wing friend of Milei and Kast, was a SHAREHOLDER in Ueno's holding company until 2025.
And the man he picked to run the central bank in 2023 used to run Ueno.
Within 24 hours:
• the central bank chief signed his resignation after Peña asked for it
• Ueno's CEO handed himself in to police, 5 more executives DETAINED
• crowds in central Asunción demanding Peña's exit
• the opposition pushing to impeach him
The last time Paraguay's banks broke, in 1995, more than half of them went down.
If you want the parts of this story Paraguay's government would rather you never heard, follow me.

Moldbug’s continued failure to understand politics when his party is being raked over the coals over basic kitchen table issues that they got elected over not two years prior should immediately clear up how retarded he is to everyone.
Want a really brutal midterm wakeup?
