Bitcoin, technology, freedom. CEO of @lexeapp. Formerly @CalBlockchain, @lightning, @ChangeTip, @UCBerkeley. Privilege is responsibility.

I have three Claudes set up in three git worktrees all working on the @lexeapp codebase. This allows me to waste ~0 time waiting for Claude to finish its work in one worktree, as I can switch to prompting the Claude on the other worktree in the meantime. So nearly 100% of my time

Great thread and analysis.
🧵1/ I wonder how many people realise that what's really going on with stablecoins is a massive US statecraft play to re-dollarize the world on its own terms. You could even call it a "re-stablization op" (yep - there's a gag in there).

I was recently asked: "How can I get started doing open-source work in Bitcoin?". I published my answer here:.

I have to share - an agentic coding ('vibe coding') tool has finally passed the critical tipping point for me where it saves me time working on the production-level @lexeapp codebase. Previously, vibe coding flows would generate so many mistakes, cut corners, and style.

But against all odds, we must continue the fight - for self-sovereignty of our data, for artificial intelligence which works for us instead of addicting us with dopamine, for more decentralized and better distributed control over the Arrakian spice of our civilization: compute.

A corollary is that the power dynamics that have defined software up until today - well-resourced megacorps generally mogging personal computing due to their superlinear returns to scale - will only continue to be exacerbated as we enter the singularity.

In the continuum of software - from the simplest if statement of decades ago to enterprise software to the unfathomably complex LLMs we have today - there is no line we can draw where one side is definitively 'AI' and the other is not.

We already have people vibe coding on it :).
Announcing Lexe's Sidecar SDK!. First revealed at the @PresidioBitcoin hackathon, Lexe's Sidecar SDK makes it extremely easy to build apps which send and receive Lightning 24/7. Here's a video of Lexe dev @phlip9 vibe coding a Lightning tip page in less than 3 minutes: 🚀⏩

Having access to (and knowing when to use) Deep Research is a superpower. I can cut straight through the endless marketing materials from B2B SaaS, and save tons of time on product research in general. Most people I know are still in the "ask for advice from friends" stage.

Absolutely game-changing, in the literal sense.
Ukraine just mounted an attack that marks a turning point in the history of warfare. Hundreds of drones were pre-deployed and then struck 40+ aircraft 1000+ km inside of Russia. >$1B in damage by <$1m of drones. Critical infra is no longer safe.

This is the correct metaphysics 👍.
@tracewoodgrains In this framework, "I'll be reborn as a baby" doesn't mean "myself in a new shell". It's not even about filling a gap you leave; it's the realisation that there is no difference between the "I" that dies, and the baby that is born; you're all the same ever-flowing pattern.
