So now $BTC is no longer “digital capital”. Sounds like a digital mission creep. For accuracy. They are all securities and none of them are digital.
$STRC is Digital Credit. $IBIT is Digital Capital. $MSTR is Digital Equity.

1/ The Bark plugin for @BtcpayServer is now ready for production. It's possibly the simplest way for a business to take self-custodial bitcoin payments (especially Lightning) on their online store, and you don't need to run a Lightning node to do it.

GLM-5.3-Flash vs DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash I ran the exact same tasks on both on an agent harness I'm building: - Code review - Mobile review - Improvement plan Then I verified every claim from each model against the code. Who's the winner? ▶️ On code review, GLM 5.3 Flash won. GLM finished in 27 minutes and worked by reading 35 file reads, and performed 27 searches. DeepSeek took 45 minuted and worked by running 55 shell commands. DeepSeek raised 23 issues, GLM raised 10. Both were right about roughly 60% of the findings. So DeepSeek found more real problems, and more fake ones. That's not what decided it though. GLM's biggest finding was correct. DeepSeek's biggest finding was wrong, and that is why GLM 5.3 Flash won on code review. ▶️ On mobile review, DS4.1F won. It found a bug that makes the composer unusable the second messages start queuing. GLM had that exact component on screen, asked the wrong question about it, and moved on. That said, my prompt explicitly instructed both models that look and feel were super important. GLM viewed 14 screenshots. DeepSeek viewed zero. ▶️ What about the improvement plan? This one goes to GLM 5.3 Flash. GLM was broader and better prioritized. It also came back with 33 improvements, each one sized and properly prioritized. DeepSeek v4.1 Flash came back with 14. Deeper on a couple of them, but it spent almost nothing on UI and performance. Two of the four things I asked for. Different instincts too. GLM went hunting for things already half built and never wired up. DeepSeek went narrow and quantitative and argued that I should first build a way to measure improvement before acting on any of its own ideas. On this task, both were accurate. I verified every claim. So which is better? 🥇 GLM 5.3 Flash takes it 2-1. Better calibrated, roughly 1.3-1.7x faster, and it knows when its own tooling is the problem. 🥈DeepSeek v4.1 Flash feels "sharper" and the one most likely to be confidently wrong about what it just measured. For me GLM 5.3 Flash is the one I run daily.

The pound has lost 95% of its purchasing power since 1970, and @knutsvanholm argues every price was supposed to be falling instead. With @JayW132 and @orangepeelpod on what that did to a whole generation, and where in Europe you can already live on Bitcoin. Panel in replies.

Signal is testing a major privacy feature: You can create a Signal account without a phone number. The new numberless registration uses an Account ID and Account Key, with an optional username. There’s a small catch: it requires a one time fee of around $3 to help prevent spam. The payment isn’t directly linked to your Signal account. Signal says it uses the same zero knowledge proofs as its donation system to ensure there’s no link between the payment and the account. For now, the only payment method is Google Play, which requires Google Play Services. Signal says it plans to add other payment methods in the future. A pretty significant step for privacy, even if the current implementation still has a Google dependency. Would you use Signal without a phone number? community.signalusers.org/t/… #Signal #Privacy #OpenSource #DeGoogle

The TERMINATOR PSYOP is fully operational. AI false-flag risk is now HIGH. The playbook is simple: Terrify the public with an AI catastrophe → demand emergency regulation → make compliance impossibly expensive → crush smaller competitors → consolidate advanced AI into a handful of corporations. The “solution” to dangerous AI becomes centralized control of AI. This could create the most powerful system of surveillance, censorship, and control ever built.

Interesting admission from the Swiss Government '"...the effects on health from long-term exposure to high-frequency EMF from mobile phones and DECT phones are uncertain..."

BREAKING: Global coal demand will rise to a **record high** of ~8.94 billion metric tons in 2026 (up ~1.2% from 2025), according to new @IEA estimates. The increase reflets the shift from gas-to-coal due to the Iran war and the impact of El Niño weather pattern on hydropower.

Men exposed to 3G cellphone radiation for just 25 minutes ate 27% more afterward, mostly carbs. The strange part was that their brains behaved like they were energy-deprived EVEN though the rest of the body wasn’t. PMID: 35057520

🚨BREAKING: The Government announces all UK phones will require ID and surveillance software This means that Britons will be left with CHILD-LOCKED devices unless they comply with digital ID checks Protecting children is a noble goal, but the government mandating that all phones come with surveillance software is a crossing of the Rubicon that would make the UK one of the most authoritarian internet regimes in the world

Bitcoin peer to peer payments are still difficult and full of friction. At Zaprite, we're working to make it seamless. No QR codes, no lightning addresses, no strings of data, no out of band communication. What is the challenge and how are we creating a solution?

Wow! I actually fact check this and it works! 💡 Electricity for Gaza Anthony Pignatelli "PiggyPower" Generators Anthony Pignatelli’s PiggyPower devices use the Seebeck effect: heat one side, cool the other with water, and you get DC electricity. That’s real physics, the same principle behind radioisotope generators on spacecraft and industrial waste-heat units. Check out: officialpiggypower.com

The greatest trick of the modern system wasn't making you poor. It was making you feel rich while removing ownership. Nice car. Financed. Nice house. Mortgaged. Nice phone. Installments. Nice lifestyle. Subscriptions. You don't own the lifestyle. You owe for it.
