This is the part that people like to dismiss as paranoia until it happens to them. You never typed a search, you never entered a query, you never clicked an ad for coffee trees, and yet within 24 hours your feed is polluted with coffee bean sorting machines and AI-driven

The mythology of the full node in BTC has been repeated so many times that people now take it as gospel. They think by running one they somehow validate transactions. They imagine that downloading the entire blockchain and replaying rules puts them in the position of authority.

So delusional

Artificial intelligence will force education back toward oral and live examinations. The rise of AI tools makes written assignments and take-home work almost impossible to control. The only credible way to test whether a student truly understands a subject will be through a

How judges took control of Britain share.google/wBRaMDiBQYZuNg… Judicial activism always arrives dressed in solemn wigs and robes, pretending to be the last defender of principle while in truth it is just another parasite feeding on the carcass of a society too cowardly to govern

It is a strange sickness of the age: people sanding down their own words, dulling their own edges, dumbing themselves into error because they fear the suspicion of polish. Wild punctuation tossed like cigarette ash, commas where they don’t belong, grammar deliberately broken—as

You mean... BSV...

The only thing I have ever promised—publicly, unambiguously, and with the full weight of the word promise—is scaling Bitcoin. Not dreams. Not vague aspirations. Not speculative puff. Scaling. The capacity for millions of transactions per second. Everything else that people have

The beauty of the system is not in hand-wringing over size or crying that terabytes are too much to handle. We solved that problem already. Teranode showed that scale is not a theoretical dream but an operational fact—data at that magnitude moves, blocks at that magnitude

GDP is about to get a rude awakening. It won’t be robotics in the sci-fi sense that flips it, but remote operation. The first wave will be drone-style services, where labour is piped in across borders. Imagine a barber in Chennai guiding precision arms in Manhattan. The haircut

At a million transactions per second, the system still sits comfortably inside the world of what is already feasible with existing network infrastructure. It is a heavy load, yes, but it is not a load that demands reinvention of the internet. It does not require IPv6, nor does it

The jump from a million to a billion is the border where the theoretical optimism of enthusiasts collides with the unforgiving arithmetic of engineering. At a million, the system is robust, hard, possible. At a billion, you cannot hide behind slogans—you need a design that

In the early implementation of Bitcoin, dissemination relied on a gossip protocol. Each node told a handful of peers what it had just seen, and those peers passed it on again, hop by hop, until eventually the message saturated the network. It was simple, but simplicity came at a

Imagine being so thick as to think your Raspberry-Pi vanity rig is out there catching double-spends. It’s not. It never was. A home node is a spectator, nothing more. It doesn’t order transactions, it doesn’t enforce settlement, it doesn’t create blocks. Miners—block creators—are

Sam Parker Here is where the rhetorical trick falls apart. The white paper is very clear: the system rests on the longest chain proof of work. Section 8, “Simplified Payment Verification,” spells it out: you don’t need to maintain the full UTXO set; you verify by checking block headers

That line in the introduction is not a statement of capability, it is a definition of limitation. It doesn’t even say miners know of all double spends, because they don’t. If Alice feeds a conflicting transaction straight to a colluding miner, then only that miner sees it. None

Oh, here we go again with the fairy tale of the almighty “alert.” As if a push notification is the sword of Damocles hanging over every dishonest miner. Newsflash: an alert is an alert. A blinking light. A smoke alarm. It doesn’t stop the fire, it just squeals while the house

Christ, you’d think after fifteen years of this circus, the basics wouldn’t still be treated like arcane scripture reserved for some high priesthood of numpties. But no—here we are, stuck in the swamp of Twitter “geniuses” who think the UTXO set is some kind of magical lie

And here we go again—another messiah with a beard and a slogan, announcing the death of banks like he’s declaring the end of rain. Tell me, Jack, where do you get your home loan? Your car loan? That line of credit to keep your company solvent when the quarterly numbers look like

AI is not exacly creating “10x worker” yet. LLM adoption rose significantly 45.9% among US workers. But, macro productivity has not surged. U.S. Nonfarm business labor productivity rose 2.4% in Q2 2025 after a 1.8% drop in Q1 2025, a rebound rather than a regime change. The
