The Mission: The Separation of Money and State.
The human brain runs on just ~20 watts of power, yet it effortlessly handles massive sensory input, runs countless automatic processes in the background, makes conscious decisions (even in rare edge cases), and controls a self-repairing body. That’s insanely advanced technology.
Meanwhile, today’s best AI models that try to approach human-level performance need entire data centers consuming megawatts of power.
Right now, data-center AI is the main event and will keep dominating for years.
Human-like robots and humanoids will gradually play bigger roles in society, but we’re still a long way from anything that comes close to the efficiency and versatility of a biological brain.
Here are two straightforward video guides that show you how to turn your Bull Bitcoin app (paired with SeedSigner) into a proper multi-tier wallet setup — either as “Checking + Savings + Cold Storage” or as a classic “Hot + Warm + Cold” wallet:
Video 1: Adding your SeedSigner to the Bull Bitcoin app
Video 2: Sending transactions with the Bull app + SeedSigner
These two short videos walk you through the complete process step-by-step.
When you buy Bitcoin, you are buying free-maintenance private property that no one can take or devalue from you, and you can pass this property to future generations. The value is handed over to future generations; this property will acquire 100% value because of Bitcoin's 100% scarcity
Corruption often sustains itself through the involuntary or unwitting participation of those it disadvantages.
By consciously withdrawing support—whether through economic choices, civic disengagement from corrupt systems, or advocacy for transparent alternatives—one can contribute to diminishing its influence over time.
This approach underscores the power of individual and collective agency in fostering systemic change.
Opt out to Bitcoin and sound money.
Incorporating alternatives like Bitcoin Knots for L1 verification, alongside the inherent multi-implementation design of L2 solutions, would likely increase the overall robustness of the Bitcoin ecosystem by minimizing single points of failure and enabling proactive integrity checks.

The Human Rights Foundation examines the quantum vulnerability of Bitcoin, identifying what is genuine, what is exaggerated, and what would be required to secure the network. From wallet redesigns to the ethical dilemma of whether "fixing" the past would violate Bitcoin's core values, such a change would necessitate social and technological chaos.

This is what stablecoins give to humanity: the same central control that governments crave. CBDCs will make it even simpler and more creative to program humans for state control.
Bitcoin No2x day
The SegWit2x "No2x" hard fork was an attempted hostile takeover of Bitcoin that failed.
The SegWit2x proposal aimed to increase the Bitcoin block size limit from 1MB to 2MB, which was opposed by many in the Bitcoin community who felt it was a corporate takeover attempt that would undermine Bitcoin's decentralization.
As a practitioner of Stoic philosophy, I do not pursue emotional disturbance through music; rather, I employ it to strengthen rational discernment.
What lies within my control?
My response alone. What does not?
The empire, the storm, the visions themselves.
The apocalyptic lyrics function as a memento mori, serving to remind me that empires collapse, bodies decay, yet virtue endures as sovereign.
Enjoy

A Tesla Model 3 is equipped with 9 cameras as part of its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving hardware suite. This includes 8 exterior cameras for 360-degree visibility and environmental sensing, plus 1 interior cabin camera for driver monitoring.
The data collected by these cameras is used to train every other Tesla vehicle, as well as the humanoids that will soon assist people.
