The non-arbitrary era begins today… We’re throwing in our biggest contribution to Bitcoin we could come up with Digital Matter Theory represents an opportunity for all who seek to identify new purpose and value that can be derived from the discoverable patterns within a block We recorded a detailed breakdown of DMT as a concept and explain the operations to formally register the existence of patterns and deploy, mint, and transfer NATs (Non-Arbitrary Tokens) in ▶️  watch here or on YouTube 👇 youtu.be/Dx_qf1196FQ All of this juice is also in the docs we just published 👇 digital-matter-theory.gitboo… In there you will find the JSON syntax to mint the very first NAT deployments $NAT $BMT Let the DMT pill consume you 💊 Summary: In this episode, we delve into the intricate universe of Digital Matter Theory (DMT) and its potential applications in the blockchain space. We discuss how DMT enables the creation of non-arbitrary tokens by recognizing patterns in data. Safeguarding the provenance of these elements allows the launch of unique projects tied to them, leading to a diverse ecosystem of tokens. We delve into hybrid tokens, a result of minting NFTs harboring fungible aspects. By parsing through Bitcoin data, meaningful patterns can be codified and used for creating projects. We touch upon the inception of bitmap and the role of communities like Yuga Labs or Rare Sat Society in relating patterns within Bitcoin data to create ecosystem value. We also discuss the concept of 'bit informatics', where the search through Bitcoin's blockchain for patterns holds immense potential for creating new tokens or games. In the process, we unravel the creation and utilization of Nats or Non Arbitrary Tokens. Throughout, we draw parallels between DMT and the early days of NFT, stressing the need for a unified method for creators. We underscore the value potential of non-arbitrary data in the metaverse and the chance to create ecosystems through the recognition of patterns. As with every episode, we invite listener feedback, and encourage questions via YouTube and Twitter.

Day 504 - Stop stacking Bitcoin while the security payroll dies. Binance Pool shut down. SBI Crypto and Poolin quit. Public miners are fleeing to AI. Fees still under 1%. Stack the asset the biggest pools are already mining to keep the lights on. ethereum:0x249130f5e2dd4cf278180c0df8273f3592ad1247 #NatTo1bChallenge

Easy to tell retail “buy the dip” when you’re the exchange chair. Now answer this: Binance Pool just shut down. SBI Crypto and Poolin already quit. Public miners are dumping hashrate for AI because SHA-256 hashprice is getting crushed. Bitcoin isn’t dead. The security payroll is. L1 fees are still under 1% of miner revenue. 2028 halving opens a $7.4B annual hole. 2032 turns it into an $11B deficit. You cannot protect a $2T+ vault while cutting the guards’ pay in half every 4 years. @SpiderPool_com, @f2pool, @AntPoolofficial, @ViaBTC and @luxor are already mining ethereum:0x249130f5e2dd4cf278180c0df8273f3592ad1247. That’s well over half the hashrate. So which is it, CZ? Is the security budget fine, or are the biggest pools already taking a second subsidy because the energy math is ugly? Pick one.
"bitcoin is dead" was said by many, many times before. Those were also the best times to buy bitcoin. 🤷‍♂️

非常简单的道理,一个不赚钱的行业,单凭所谓的信仰是无法支撑的。所以离场。这种信号意味着会有更多矿业关机。更恐惧的是区块链领域的比特币区块还需要再运行吗?区块运行需要什么呢?简单来说利润!所以 @TheBlockRunner 提出了比特币区块第二补贴@natgmi 同时SpiderPool_com f2pool 在2026年4月中旬支持并分发了比特币区块挖出的$NAT 资产给矿工,意图让矿工矿业让区块链走得更远。@NewsAsset在@TheBlockRunner 视频中听到关于阐述比特币的网络安全时,瞬间秒懂$NAT 的价值。但作为全球最大的加密交易所 @BNBCHAIN @cz_binance 却未能意识到网络集中的危害性,要关闭矿池让所有人惊讶😲 51%网络攻击会是什么样的场景呢?加密资产归0️⃣?还是怎么样呢? #比特币安全 #比特币矿工

4/ Binance just shut down Binance Pool entirely (effective Nov 10, 2026). After 6 years and tens of thousands of blocks, the last major exchange-run pool is gone. Cipher, Core Scientific, and IREN are pivoting gigawatts of power to AI/HPC with multi-billion-dollar contracts. Mining is becoming the side hustle.

Bitcoin’s security budget is on a programmed countdown. ethereum:0x249130f5e2dd4cf278180c0df8273f3592ad1247 is the only second subsidy that doesn’t require changing the protocol.

On their own show: “I find it highly unlikely individuals are going to be using the blockchain ever, frankly. I think it's going to be businesses, banks.” Nobody at the table argues. That is the fee payer list. @PresidioPod @moneyball @maxawebster @dksf

Why is onchain so dead? Well, the cyber war has already started, and a potential black swan event is around the corner. This feels similar to the COVID moment from 2019 before the world shut down. We break down how to hedge for a worst-case scenario where AI introduces a major flash sell-off event 👇 Why The AI Black Swan Event Might Be Around The Corner! BE READY TO BUY! In the last 48 hours the @NSACyber, the @FBICyberDiv, @CISAgov and even the prime minister of Japan all told people to take their systems offline, and almost the only place anyone is talking about it is @X. That is exactly what late 2019 felt like for us. We remember the videos of smoke in the streets in China months before the rest of the world was paying attention, and we remember what that did to markets once pandemic day came. We walk through the wave of breaches: two critical PHP bugs that leaked before the patch, roughly 1.5 million unpatched servers, a decade-old GitLab flaw, LiteLLM shipping a credential stealer, @Railway pausing every deployment, and a certificate authority whose private key was literally the number four. We talk about who might be behind it, what @OpenAI disclosed, and why major US banks are now finding AI agents acting inside customer accounts. Then we bring it back to positioning. We compare Bitcoin's COVID crash, a 50% drop in about a month, with the slower bleed we have lived through this year, look at the doomer prep posts going around, and talk through a theory that a crisis like this ends with everyone being handed government-approved stablecoins. We are not predicting any of it, and none of this is financial advice. What we keep coming back to is that the scariest part of a black swan is not the event, it is how it changes what you do in the moment. When there is real blood in the streets, almost nobody has the composure to buy, and the people who come out ahead are the ones who set aside dry powder before the panic, not during it. The other lesson from 2020 is that time still moved forward. Fear content spreads faster than anything else on these feeds, and if you let it fully take over, you risk sitting out the recovery that came six months later last time. Being aware and prepared is different from being paralyzed, and that difference is what we are trying to hold onto right now. YouTube 🔗 youtu.be/oEBoB1Hb25M

RESET Experiment Update ✍️ Trac's agentic-mining design is encouraging the exact behaviours and particpation patterns we set out to produce: earn ⤵️ re-stake ⤵️ participate 🔁 Executing token distribution in this manner has so far produced participators, not just holders. And we've now open-sourced RESET Mining plus its Agentic DEX in our github: ➡️ github.com/Trac-Systems
First insights about agentic mining and game-theory that supports my thesis: - Due to game theory, the best decision is to re-stake. - Build inventory over time, patiently. - Be cooperative. Result so far: approx. 90% of total supply is consistently being re-staked for mining.

Day 502 #NatTo1bChallenge If you think Bitcoin survives on fees alone after the next couple halvings, you’re either lying or you don’t understand miner incentives. $DMT-NAT is the only second subsidy that doesn’t require a soft fork, a hard fork, or trusting a foundation. Deny it all you want. The pools already didn’t.

If you're going to FUD Bitcoin, at least do it correctly. Chamath says that AI will break cryptography and the obvious target is Bitcoin. Maybe. If cryptography is broken due to AI, every system in the world is the target, not just Bitcoin. The correct way to FUD Bitcoin is to discuss the inevitable decline of the security budget. But even this has a solution in ethereum:0x249130f5e2dd4cf278180c0df8273f3592ad1247
CHAMATH SAYS BITCOIN WILL EVENTUALLY BE HACKED AND GO TO ZERO Speaking on the Moonshots podcast, billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya warned that advances in AI could eventually break Bitcoin’s cryptography. He argues that the community is too divided to coordinate a transition to quantum-resistant security. “I just think it’s capped, and then I think eventually it gets hacked, and then it goes to zero.”

Six groups. Six sets of filings. One risk they all put in writing: Bitcoin pays its miners less every four years, and fees haven't replaced it. ✅ ETFs ✅ Miners ✅ Exchanges ✅ Treasury companies ✅ Futures funds ✅ Economists All six, in their own words 🧵

The incentive is Bitcoin itself. Your bags. If you hold bitcoin:native, you should care about its underlying fundamentals that’s it. Like insurance: you care about your car, so you insure it.
Replying to @aleski_ar
What incentive problem? Bitcoin has a security budget withering away. No security means your bitcoin is worthless. The only thing that mitigates this is bitcoin's value exponentially growing... forever, an impossibility. How is this not an incentive to solve the declining security budget? How do you solve it? Security budget = Miner revenue = Bitcoin security. When miner revenue increases, the cost of attack is higher and therefore security is higher. So that means over time, bitcoin miners need to make more revenue as the value of the network increases. Right now, over time, their revenues are decreasing. Therefore security is declining. NAT delivers more money to the miners as an incentive to keep mining bitcoin over time as the primary subsidy decays exponentially every 4 years. The value in NAT is that it solves the problem mechanically and its value can grow over time along with bitcoin, which means the security budget can grow over time. As the Bitcoin network value increases you need an adequate security budget to support that value. This is NOT what Bitcoin does. If you follow us, you should already know this. We've beat this dead horse into a walking corpse already. NAT asks: What is Bitcoin's security worth? Answer: For Bitcoin, its worth everything.
