Me in the Whole Foods parking lot when a spot opens up

Here’s a test for your self custody: Tell your next of kin to retrieve your coins as if you had died. They are only allowed to use the info they have now. No new note or instructions allowed- if you died today they wouldn’t have those instructions either. See how the test works.

Here we go again...

Wait until you realize the real matrix is the illusion that you are stuck as the person you are. When you ask yourself: "How do I change who I am?", the answer is that you first realize you are nothing, you are beyond the self, and then you can choose which 'self' to be. I’m not a fan of believing there are infinite versions of us. There is only what pours out of us unconsciously, or what we have molded ourselves to become consciously. If you don’t choose, then yes, fate awaits you. When you are born, there is no matrix, there is no trap, there is just beingness. But your surroundings, your environment, your family and friends all mold your character. Change characters, that’s it. Choose which character to play, over and over, and the game itself bends to your choices.

Today I call upon the blockchain industry to calmly begin planning for "bunker mode". My personal recommendation is to set in motion a controlled mass migration of assets to fresh addresses, i.e. addresses whose pubkeys remain hidden behind a hash. Holders, starting with large and sophisticated ones, should consider moving the bulk of their funds to addresses that have never signed a transaction. And when they do sign one, they should also move remaining funds to a new address (possibly generated from the same seed phrase). Don't rush. While I believe there is cause for action a rushed migration would do more harm than good. Don't panic either. Moving assets to protected addresses is a simple, preventative step which does not require new cryptography or new wallets. IMO it is now reasonable to brace for the possibility that ECDSA breaks before qday, in the worst case in months not years. By "break" I mean fast private key recovery (e.g. in one week) on available hardware (e.g. a large GPU cluster). Recent days have been humbling for human mathematical intuition. Long-held, unquestioned hypotheses have fallen. This includes the n log(n) bound for integer multiplication and the 3SUM conjecture. In hindsight, May's unexpected disproof of the Erdős unit distance conjecture was our warning shot. Yesterday's OpenAI drop made it clear that mathematical superintelligence is upon us. They say there are weeks where decades happen. We are about to live through weeks where centuries of mathematical progress happen. Could our magic 64-byte ECDSA signatures be too good to be true? Was it just security through obscurity all this time? Elliptic curves feel especially vulnerable to superintelligence. Curves carry rich structure, with room for fancy tricks like Schoof, Frobenius, pairings. (By contrast, hashes are designed to minimise algebraic structure.) Separately, as Ewin Tang can attest, an efficient quantum algorithm sometimes foreshadows an efficient classical one. We should be open to the possibility of a classical counterpart to Shor that breaks elliptic curves and RSA at once. Also noteworthy is the striking under-representation of cryptographic breakthroughs among the 722 mathematical results OpenAI published. I've witnessed first-hand the US government censoring academic quantum cryptanalysis results. Backroom interventionism is my base case. I urge large, sophisticated actors to lead by example. Project11's "risq list" (bitcoin-risq-list.projecteleven[.]com) is a great tracker of exposed BTC pubkeys. Binance, Bitbank, Robinhood, Bitfinex, and Tether have an opportunity to harden their cold storage. Next month I'll address institutions in London in a live Q&A (forum.ethereuminstitutional[.]org/london-2026). Again, please do not rush. Wallets holding under 50 BTC enjoy partial cover from "Satoshi's shield", i.e. his 20K exposed addresses that hold 50 BTC each. Load-bearing signers like oracles and L2 security councils should consider rotating ECDSA pubkeys with every signed message and/or multi-signing with a hash-based schemes like SPHINCS. Exiting bunker mode safely will require post-AI cryptography. My inclination is to go all-in on hash-based cryptography and avoid structured mathematical assumptions entirely, whether from curves, lattices, or isogenies. A single battle-tested hash (e.g. from the SHA or BLAKE families) yields plausible post-AI security. The Ethereum roadmap on strawmap[.]org fully embraces hash-based cryptography with end-to-end formal verification as a response to the quantum threat. Those timelines must now be revisited and accelerated in light of mathematical superintelligence. I'll be pushing for maximum defensive acceleration.

Some @gamestop investors are claiming their GME holdings are being displayed as “units” (not shares). Hopefully this screenshot helps with the confusion.

Hey @Computershare, I noticed when I login on the investor centre app, I’ll look at the "details" of my GameStop holdings and it shows them as "Units". Why are they showing up as Units?

It's an increasingly common take that AI hacking means cybersecurity is doomed. I disagree. I think cybersecurity is naturally defense-favoring once people get their shit together. And anyone who continues to hold cryptocurrency (including me, ~90% of my net worth) is implicitly making that bet. Here's why I am making that bet. First, the oversimplified punchy one-line statement: If AI can prove Navier-Stokes and FLT, then AI can prove the statement "this program is secure" as a mathematical theorem. Even if the program is very complicated. Now, the nuance: (See also: vitalik.eth.limo/general/202… ) The word "secure" is hiding all kinds of skeletons in the closet in terms of what it actually means. What does it mean for Signal (the encrypted messenger) to be "secure"? The most basic definition you might think of is: no one who doesn't hold the recipient's secret key can read the contents of the message. But: * Did you remember to include _other_ critical forms of security? Can the adversary forge messages? Can the attacker prevent messages from reaching the recipient? Can they cause your client to crash by sending malformed messages? * Have you made sure that your model of the adversary includes attackers that interfere with the protocol actively and not just passively? And attackers that interfere by replaying messages to you or the recipient that either of you sent over the wire at any point earlier? * What if the adversary hacked (or _is_) the Signal server? * How did you learn which public key belongs to the recipient in the first place? What if that process was tampered with? * What if your device gets hacked at some point in the past or future - is your message still safe then? * What if your key leaks because of a bug in your operating system? Or because you got a bugged version of the Signal client? Or what if the database is corrupted? * Or the libraries, interpreter or compiler of the programming language you wrote it in? * What if your key leaks because tiny perturbations in perceptible signals generated by the hardware leak mathematical relationships that can extract the key a few hundredths of a bit at a time? * Are you hiding the *size* of the payload? Does that matter? * You're definitely not hiding the identity of the sender and the recipient, and the exact time each message was sent (think: not just time-of-day, but also time deltas between one message and the next). Is that not enough to deduce a lot of important facts about what relationships you have, and what *kinds* of conversations you are having? So ... even definitions can be over a thousand lines of code, and need deep careful thought to figure them out. Working on making definitions more human-readable is of extreme importance - it's perhaps the only "high-level language" that matters right now. But even still, even despite all of the above, for security-critical components, the definition is a much smaller attack surface than the implementation. Verifying that the definition is adequate is a much more tractable task than scanning over the code directly - and can become even more tractable with better tooling. Definitions are also _additive_: if two groups have two different definitions A and B, then, well, you can just prove that the program satisfies both A and B. Code is not additive in this way: if a program is A + B, a bug in A _or_ B can sink the whole thing. Definitions are additive. And if you can't satisfy A and B at the same time, you've isolated the most important philosophical issue for your project to spend its next few weeks grappling with. Sometimes, definitions are not much smaller than the implementation - UI components might be one example. But for many of the most critical components - message-passing protocols, sandboxes, cryptography like SNARKs and FHE - the asymmetry is real. Historically, a large class of failures with this approach have come from people only verifying a small portion of their code, that they self-declared to be the security-critical portion, and ignoring the rest - and it turns out that something in the rest of the code is security-critical too. This was reasonable back when verification was difficult and scarce. The solution today: sorry, you have to verify over literally your entire program, including database, networking, any caching layers, everything. Modern AI can do it. So it's not about "the good guys find all the vulnerabilities before the bad guys do" - that could maybe work too, after all a finite program only has a finite number of vulns, but it's riskier - it's specifically an asymmetric strategy of making code that is much more resilient in the first place. This is the kind of direction that Ethereum is going in for the next few years. There is no future for blockchains - especially blockchains with scalability and privacy - without doing this. We need to make software actually secure. And we have already made a lot of progress.

Holy smokes! If he thinks the difference between direct ownership and beneficial ownership is semantics, is it because he never have heard of financial intermediaries? 🤦‍♀️

Now that our GEN02 collection has sold out, it's time to start posting videos of what you can do with them. Quantum Frame Early Access releases this week on Epic. Who said NFT gaming couldn't be beautiful?

Some of the very worst people in the world who have been wrong about everything are now calling for government to have unprecedented power over a new technology. Bro. Who do you think government is? Where are you going to find these wonderful nice people to suddenly assume power and be both wise enough to know what to do and kind enough to do the right thing? It’s a fantasy. Government power is violence. Placing Ai power into the hands of government is the worst possible idea. Instead we should all be focused on using the power of Ai to decrease the power of the state and increase the power of the individual.

most of you prolly never heard abt @CYBERCREWNFT yet which is not weird since they've been away from ct for over 5yrs but a lot of ogs should remember them these guys have been in the nft space for years built gaming assets worked around the gamestop nft ecosystem built their own gaming ecosystem and now they're entering eth and robinhood chain but cybercrew is not just another pfp collection they're building web3 games and nft collections, with their games available on both pc and mobile and the new gen02 collection genuinely caught me off guard, the art is so sick bro can't believe it hasn't minted out yet, prolly because not enough people have discovered them yet i think once more eyes get on cybercrew, people will start looking deeper into what they've actually been building another thing i really like is their approach to asset ownership you don't just own an nft you can actually own the 3d model attached to it, with a token-gated system for downloading the assets holders also get commercial rights to use their assets in their own content, as long as they don't sell the asset itself this is the kind of stuff i think more nft projects should be experimenting with cybercrew has a lot more cooking too imo they're bringing a pretty interesting narrative back into nfts new chain, new audience, but 4+ years of history behind them definitely one to keep an eye on below are a few gen02s still minting they're so sick bruh probably nothing

Too all the original @gamestopnft investors and crypto visionaries. Cybercrew has now developed a more sustainable structure that will allow you to actually own your assets in game. They have just debuted their Gen 02 NFTs that were amazingly designed by @engwind_art. There are only about 3000 clones left for just $15 a mint. You buy them blindly like opening a pack of Pokémon cards (one per mint). You can login into the link provided in the post below. You must have an ethereum compatible wallet (ex: MetaMask). For more information, Join their discord provided on their X profile. Lots of development in the last 2 weeks. I think it could be something really cool! They are currently in the Beta phase of their CybercrewArcade. Try it out!
