ethereum:0xc944e90c64b2c07662a292be6244bdf05cda44a7 - Diagonals breaking up as more volume coming in. OBV breaking up with price is bullish.
ethereum:0xc944e90c64b2c07662a292be6244bdf05cda44a7 - And looks like more volume is starting to show up on the chart. Pretty clean R:R with both price and OBV diagonals breaking.

Hester Peirce: mass KYC collection builds honeypots that get crypto holders phished, hacked, and physically attacked. Her answer: zero-knowledge proofs - verify without exposing anyone. Meanwhile, SDNY is retrying Roman Storm in April 2027 - on the theory that he committed a crime by NOT building one of those honeypots. The government's own expert, AnChain.AI's Philip Werlau, told the jury Tornado Cash needed a "user registry": a list of authorized users, with logins "like Gmail, Spotify." On cross he admitted it "could have collected personal identifying information." When the defense asked whether hackers target exactly such databases, prosecutors objected. Sustained. The jury never heard the answer. Surveillance is privacy. Free Roman Storm. Study the case. Read the docket. See for yourself how bad this precedent is. Make some noise. This case is a threat to every developer and every user who values privacy. The more people know, the harder it is to get away with.
JUST IN: 🇺🇸 SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce calls to end mass KYC data collection, warning it puts crypto holders at risk of phishing and physical attacks. Pierce says the current KYC/AML system creates massive databases of sensitive information that can be hacked, leaked, or exploited. She's pushing for zero-knowledge proofs (ZK proofs) that could verify users meet regulatory requirements without exposing their personal information.

What’s the over/under that this was ripped off someone else using Claude? You can’t use Claude to develop IP.
Claude has discovered a previously unknown enzyme system hidden in the DNA of bacteriophages. Beside the enzyme’s gene sits a long array of repeating DNA—a structure that looks somewhat similar to CRISPR. We don’t yet understand what this system does, but only a handful of known systems share its features, and all of them are able to cut, copy, and paste DNA. Historically, the discovery of such programmable systems has helped revolutionize medicine. CRISPR, for instance, is now the foundation of genetic medicines. But it will take much more work to learn what this system does, and whether it can be put to similar use. Read more: anthropic.com/news/claude-di…

@poteto interactive chat while I'm driving to work will be helpful. Talking to Grok is great, but I'd rather chat with the CoS of the squad.

If CLARITY moves forward, venues and intermediaries will need reconstructable ledger trails. @graphprotocol is the proven stack for indexing this. Newcomers will try building their own indexers. They’ll hit the same walls everyone else has—and rebuild.

Anthropic and OpenAI probably see that 90% of AI usage does not require the leading models. Most use AI to scale fair simple products/tasks.
Dario has written that we need to “pace the frontier,” and Sam has agreed. People may be surprised by my response: go ahead. You guys are the frontier. By any reasonable metric — market share, revenue growth, model capability — the two of you have a duopoly on frontier intelligence. You’ve also claimed the lead is widening because of recursive self-improvement. I don’t see what you see in the lab. If the unreleased models are scary enough that you think you should slow down, I support your decision to be responsible. But stop pretending you need anyone else’s permission. Stop pretending antitrust law has to be suspended so you can form a cartel. Stop pretending you need a regulatory approval process that supersedes product liability. Stop pretending METR is independent when it is intertwined with Anthropic’s investors and staff. Stop pretending you need those same evaluators to police competitors who aren’t even at the frontier. Most of all, stop pretending the motivation to slow down is purely altruistic. You face massive product-liability exposure if your products enable a truly damaging cyberattack. The market already punishes models that behave in unpredictable or unauthorized ways. After the Hugging Face episode, it is simply good business for OpenAI and Anthropic to trade some raw power for reliability and predictability. Call it alignment if you want. It is also just giving customers what they want. Pacing the frontier would also create breathing room for a more intelligent conversation about regulation than Bernie Sanders’ “shut it all down.” China is very unlikely to join a global agreement, as you know, and that has to be taken into account as well. So go ahead and pace the frontier. You are the ones setting it. The easiest way not to build superintelligence is for you to agree not to build it. Demanding your preferred regulatory framework as the price of that will look like blackmail of the public and the political system. So just do it. If you do, you’ll buy goodwill for the next conversation. If you don’t, we’ll know this was just another bid for regulatory capture — or an election-season psyop.

This idea has been floating around the space for a while. What’s the blocker on actually doing it?
The Revolut story (thanks @zachxbt for bringing us to our attention) is a good time to bring back zkKYC. Prove what’s required without exposing a passport, selfie and home address every time. Zero-knowledge should mean less personal data to collect, retain and hand over. Who’s building this at scale today? I remember working on it. > @KeyringNetwork > @zkme_ > @zkPass > @PrivadoID > @GalacticaNet What’s the current state of play and why those players are not getting adoption during those years?
