Incredibly informative conversation with @hrkrshnn and @odysseas_eth My takeaways: - Without intervention, data on the internet becomes a free-for-all. The cost to exploit vulnerabilities to access personal data is/has dropped to 0. - As a result, companies will do 1 of 3 things: -- 1. Increase security spend so that defensive spend>offensive spend -- 2. Offload data security responsibilities to 3rd party companies who do it as a service -- 3. Simply delete the data that they don't want the responsibility of securing. - Is crypto safe? For the most part, yes, because the economic incentive to protect crypto-assets has been very high for a long time. Coinbase/Fireblocks et are under constant barrage of attempted hackings all the time. Still, continued cyber defense investment is a MUST. Crypto is a head of the curve, but the curve is advancing anyay - Holy f this is so bullish $VVV. So many companies will want to mimimize their data footprints while also will need to be doing AI inference. Venice sells this as a product. - Holy f this is so bullish $ZEC. Everyone's data, financial or otherwise, will likely be stolen from the companies that store it. Privacy is so fucking in. Traceable blockchains that can be linked to exposed identities (i.e. Ledger data breach) are so out. The worst case scenario is that everyones personal info is out in the wild, and this includes all your finances and assets. Zcash hides this again. zillions

One of the best podcasts I’ve been a part of! Excited for it to go out :)
Just got finished recording this A 1hr40min complete masterclass on the @Zcash roadmap @zkDragon and @ebfull are incredible. I knew a lot about Zcash already, but I underestimated the magnitude of the challenges being overcome by the zcash devs tl;dr: zillions

I said a pro-$ETH thing
David Hoffman says the internet falling apart is exactly what Ethereum was built for "I'm watching the internet like crumble" "Now the environment that it was built for is actually happening"

> unfixible bugs in hardware exploitable by AI yay!
Replying to @Suhail
I’ve heard several OAI people say there are unfixable bugs in hardware that are exploitable by AI models directly speaking machine code so even if we could solve software that’s not enough. We need defense to move faster than offense if that’s even possible we may just have a new normal that requires adapting to insecure software (bank transfers require going into a branch and taking a dna test 🤣😬)

There's been a resurgence of coins that I'm labeling '2017-era Bitcoin clones' $PRL +30% this week, $4.2b FDV $QTC + 300% this month, $1.8b @ 21m supply Kind of interesting that 21m hardcapped supply tokens are commanding multi-billion dollar vals

If crypto could just get a moment to fucking breathe, we'd be so much higher Seems pretty clear that, in a vacuum, crypto goes up Just we have a new crisis every week that rattles everyone out of their longs

ser bernie, the AI agent in my bank account is exactly where I want it to be tyvm mind your own damn business
This is insane. We cannot allow AI agents to go into your bank account and act independently without your authorization. But that is what’s happening right now. Left unchecked, AI could endanger the entire global financial system — including your bank account. Pause AI NOW!
Community note
Per Axios, detected AI agents access bank accounts with the customer’s permission. This violates most banks’ terms requiring human logins, which is why banks call it “unauthorized.” Source: Axios (Oct. 22, 2026) — axios.com/2026/10/22/ai-…

August 20th Parts of the world has known this was coming for a long time Probably for the best.
The vulnerability tsunami is coming in just a few months and there won’t be enough time to patch critical infrastructure. Network isolation described below (air-gaps and data diodes!) needed now!
