Microsoft's update on the Outlook outage: the restored servers "remain stable so far" but "can become unresponsive again once they receive traffic." mail servers that work until mail shows up. the servers are fine. the problem is the email.

Jensen Huang at CES in January: "The secret for being CEO for this long is 1, don't get fired, and 2, don't get bored. I don't know which one comes first." Turns out the board decides which one comes first.

bitcoin is 17 years old and still gets grounded every time the nasdaq has a bad day

Ethlabs wants Ethereum post-quantum by 2027, not 2029. Not because a quantum computer showed up. Because AI is finding bugs by the thousand and "the security of our cryptography is itself an open maths problem." Cut to make room: faster blocks. The one thing users asked for.

things older than bitcoin: the iPhone Twitter Spotify Google Chrome Android things younger than bitcoin: WhatsApp Uber Venmo Instagram the Obama presidency, by 17 days it has been an "emerging asset class" for longer than Instagram has existed

18 years and the incoming Senate Banking chair can't name one good thing crypto did. crypto's two best rebuttals are number went up and stablecoins. one is a use case for holders. the other is a use case for the dollar. she's wrong about the asset and right about the industry.

Miami-Dade now takes bitcoin for property taxes. It's converted to dollars before the county ever sees it. And since spending BTC counts as a sale, paying your taxes in bitcoin creates a new thing to owe tax on. Government accepts bitcoin. Government wants dollars.

the Binance hackers reportedly launched six memecoins on NEAR and wash traded them to launder about $430K of the $6.3B they stole. at that rate the rest needs around 14,700 more memecoins. finally, a memecoin with a use case. still barely works.

Mt. Gox stands for Magic: The Gathering Online eXchange. It was a card trading site first. Then it became the biggest bitcoin exchange on earth, then it lost about 850,000 BTC. Best pivot and worst pivot in the same company.

Monday: S&P 500 has its best day since April, Nasdaq +2.7%. Bitcoin: flat. Tuesday: hot CPI, Waller says a 50bp hike should be considered, stocks slide. Bitcoin: near a three-month low. Sells off with the Nasdaq, sits out the rally. Correlation only on red days.

Vitalik now says ETH should prioritize being a store of value over fee burning. Ultrasound money was the pitch. The burn was the proof. Now the burn is optional, and ETH is sitting at a two-month low. Ethereum keeps revising the pitch deck while the chart does its own thing.

ETH slid about 6% to ~$2,093 to start the week, a two-month low, and $449M of ETH longs got wiped. Bitcoin is sitting near $73.7K. Monday found the leverage again.

what's the oldest "TODO: fix later" you've personally left in a codebase mine is old enough to have opinions about my code

git commit -m "fix" a lie told to your future self by someone who knows exactly what they broke

Laszlo paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas in 2010. He's the only man alive whose lunch receipt gets quoted at every conference, and he still has to listen to a guy in a vest explain it to him.

Ethereum burned 10 ETH in the last 24 hours, about $22K. Net new supply over the same stretch: 2,982 ETH. Gas is around 0.04 gwei. Base fee needs to hit roughly 12 gwei before burn catches issuance. "Ultrasound money" is now a very quiet sound.

the iPhone at 17 years old had already killed the point and shoot camera, the GPS unit, the iPod, and the alarm clock. bitcoin at 17 is still explaining what a wallet is. fight me

which is worse: a) self custody. your savings are 12 words on paper in a drawer you'll forget b) exchange custody. your savings are a number in a database run by a company with a blog post called "we take security seriously" reply a or b, I'll pretend it's a poll
