Here's two bright spots tonight in our little world of bitcoin... Bennet.org 's site is so, so good. My guess is it's the site we'll all send people to when they get coins off an exchange and into a wallet. Not overly technical, but also assumes you want to understand how bitcoin works. I don't think anyone has thread that needle as well as this guy.

I only found @Fartface2000 's site last night, but wow, I've had to recalibrate what a smart person working with a Hermes agent can do. Even if you don't like the project, check out the design consistency. That alone is worth a tour of the site.

Pseudonymous Bitcoin signal, market dispatches, and midnight keyboard bunker energy.

So what is that project? From this article... https://medium.com/@FF2K/signal-is-the-product-why-i-built-ff2k-us-d70be43aed4f "FF2K is a place to publish signal without asking whether the signal serves a platform’s business model. It is a place to test voice, satire, argument, and independent distribution without begging existing systems to bless the attempt. Its point of view is simple: dependence is dangerous, permission is fragile, and a society that outsources its information rails should not be shocked when those rails start serving someone else’s interests." Two more gems... "I do not trust systems that depend on humans acting against their incentives for long periods of time. That is not cynicism. It is engineering. If a bridge only works when every person crossing it is honest, calm, and selfless, you do not have a bridge. You have a prayer with bolts in it."

I own more bitcoin this afternoon than I did when I woke up. Gotta keep the pedal to the floor this month to mine more fiat. #bitcion

Thanks @Small Batch Steve for the seasoning! 🙏🏻👊 Let’s eat! #foodstr #v4v #worththesats #circulareconomy

GM 😀☕️👊 Target buy placed 10 days ago at $68,500 might hit soon. Have a great day! #bitcoin

Dinner for 17,877 sats. Steak and Shake. Food is good, bathrooms are not. 😬 I go there once every 4-5 months when I’m in the area. Not worth the drive otherwise, and honestly, the place is depressing. But again, the meal was good. We need to get In-n-Out burger on board!

GM 😀 ☕ 👊 I found this bitcoin site last night and it's so good:

It's got all of these interactive tools that are really great. I don't love the typography but that's a minor issue. I've got to work quite a bit today, and then attend an end of the school year event, but I can't wait to play with the various tools and read more. Now we just need to get him on Nostr!

I wish @Magoo PhD posted here, but he posted this graph on Twitter and then said that "something undeniable broke on October 10." Core V30 came out on Oct 10, 2025. Plenty of people think this is unrelated to the price drop, but my limited understanding is whales started selling after this. My guess - and what do I know having been in the space less than two years - as that whales understand the possible damage having a bunch of non-monetary data on the blockchain can/will cause, and possible CSAM images. Curious what long timers think.

Undeniable that something broke on 10/10.
