HODL but for a democratic society that is the opposite of every crypto miner and mercenary for themselves. Bitcoin is a profoundly pessimistic and dystopian project. A fantasy where all roads lead to Mad Max, except we still have enough power to spend it all on mining rigs.

Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: corporate
Written for: Founders, marketers and operators

ICE is occupying communities and shooting Americans. Now, former CNN anchor Don Lemon has been arrested for covering what ICE is doing. Arresting journalists is what happens in tin-pot dictatorships. We must fight back against authoritarianism.

guys can we please slow down. we are at the beginning of march and: - xAI imploded - Qwen is imploding - Anthropic is a supply chain risk - OpenAI is now seen on the same level as the NSA - Google now 2nd tier behind OpenAI and Anthropic I can't do 10 more months of this

This is nuking every single supply chain that passes through the US in any way, under the illusion that 45 years of deindustrialization can be fixed in one day of 45% tariffs. Countless low-margin businesses, including US exporters, will be pushed into unprofitability.

META IS SO BACK! This costs like $3 per 1000 voice minutes. Zuck is making AI an extreme commodity if you just think about it.

Whenever an exchange gets into hot water like this I withdraw first and ask questions later Worst case if you withdraw immediately? You have to re-deposit Worst case if you don't? Your shit is gone Rather be safe than sorry

Senator Cynthia Lummis

America can’t lead in global financial innovation if we can’t even write the rules. The Clarity Act paves the way to make the U.S. the digital asset capital of the world: ✅ Clear line between securities & commodities ✅ Strong consumer protections ✅ American innovation

Fable one-shotted a Rust rewrite of the TerminalTextEffects Python library in 11M tokens. Startup time went from 87ms to 2ms and rendering speed is up by 9.6x. Now zero dependencies and a 3mb single exec 🤯 t.co

I just hoped back on Kimi K2.7 for some work yesterday. Hadn't been using it since GPT 5.6 and Fable. But great reminder of just how good these open-weight models have gotten. For what I was doing, Kimi was faster and just as good. Excited for K3!

The Omarchy 4 branch is now 30,000 lines of new code. The majority of it was written by GPT5.5. It's been so, so good at QML. You still need to review, but there's just no way this scale of a conversion would be feasible without AI in a reasonable time. t.co

I think it's great that all the model providers are coming out with their own CLIs, but let's be honest, no dev is going to want to have five different CLIs installed. They're going to want to learn and use one tool with all the models. For me, that tool is OpenCode.

I love the models Anthropic are offering, but I seriously hope it's a mistake that they're blocking alternative harness providers, like @opencode, from working with their subscriptions. Seems very customer hostile. t.co

Apple exodus set to continue. This is the price of keeping a bean counter at the head for so long. Cook's legacy will not improve by dragging his own departure out any longer. Maybe he should do like Ballmer and buy a basketball team?
