I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Our new report "State of Token Markets" is live! Most tokens spend their lifetime below launch price. Across 540+ tokens launched since 2020, the average token spent 70% of its life below launch. Tokens launched at inflated FDVs with minimal float, which handed the initial pop to insiders and farmers. The typical token underperformed BTC by 7% per unlock. By the tenth unlock that underperformance had compounded to -47%. Now the model is shifting. Hyperliquid routes 97% of protocol fees into HYPE buybacks. Uniswap voted in December to burn $600M of supply and flip its fee switch, with the burn sized to match the fees holders would have received since 2018. But buybacks alone aren't enough. Jupiter ran a similar program but had $3.78 in unlocks for every $1 bought back. Hyperliquid has been the outlier since no insider supply was fighting the bid. Buybacks only matter when supply discipline matches them. Revenue alone doesn't guarantee market cap growth. Pump runs one of the largest onchain buyback programs but that hasn’t translated into durable token performance. A revenue-weighted portfolio of the top 10 protocols by revenue returned 30% since January 2025 while BTC was down 17%. The market is now paying for real cash flow.

Selling a business that wasn’t working to someone who thinks they can make it work is imo actually the principled and user-aligned decision. The founders probably made $0 on this equity sale (if you raise $180m then you have at least 180m in liquidation preferences to repay). They would’ve made >$0 by issuing a token. So I struggle to see how this is a rug, IMO launching a token for a product that isn’t working would’ve been a rug.

Me 5 minutes after meeting somebody new: it's of utmost importance for you to - open a broker account and buy Vanguard S&P 500 UCITS ETF (USD) Accumulating (VUAA), and - take 10g creatine per day yes 5g was the previous recommendation but after 5g the benefits are cognitive and in studies it delays Alzheimer - start lifting weights 3-4 times per week, strength training avoids guaranteed age-related muscle atrophy and bone density loss, no running is not enough, you need both strength training and cardio, get a personal trainer to check your form - build a business or SaaS so you can escape the system of employee servitude which is generally built to exploit you, the only way to get really rich is own your own business and the earlier you start the sooner you'll succeed because it takes years to understand how to do a business so better start now - as a guy you probably have low testosterone, it's an epidemic due to our processed food and soil depletion due to intense farming, you don't realize this is completely affecting your identity and behavior as a man, and in turn your relationships with women, and as a woman similarly your hormones are imbalanced too - fix your hormones to how they should be (like they were 100 years ago) by working out, lifting weights (both for men and women), cardio and a clean diet of whole foods (meat, veg, fruit, eggs, water) and no processed food (whatever is made in a factory, eg 90% what's sold in stores) - get therapy if you need, it's good if it solves things (like cognitive behavioral therapy) but it should always be combined with heavy workouts and a clean diet - live near your friends because especially for men of middle age (your future) there is a loneliness epidemic, so to avoid this hang out with your friends every week (even if your gf/bf blocks this, override it, it's of utmost important for your mental health) That's it for now 😊

that’s because the core business model of the banks was never seriously disrupted. (Lending)

Before understanding the fundamental need for $BTC, the past must be studied.
