Following up on my blockchain demos on YouTube, (~3M views) I just published a new demo on Zero-Knowledge Proofs.

The blockchain will be obfuscated

Designed as an FPP-first experience, PUBG: Black Budget is a tactical extraction shooter built around tension, survival, and the unknown.

Because vibe coding is so much more efficient but doesn’t tend to do well iterating on existing complex codebases, I think it is much more likely for codebases to instead be rewritten from scratch many times as the programmer learns how to prompt exactly what they want.

#x402 for the first time pairs value transfer with data transfer. While obviously advantageous, it has never been done before.

When I was younger, I devoured the book, “The RenderMan Companion”. I’ve recently been vibe coding a node.js based renderer as a stroll down amnesia lane: https://t.co/BzH6ooklMc

When I was a kid I wasted an extraordinary amount of time on this game. https://t.co/sU4BiW97tn

I think #x402 could be key to keeping the agentic web from centralizing.

Claude code OAuth service is down so I just set up claude-code-router and pointed it to the local ollama models running on my machine.

Atomic transactions are the real revolutionary thing about #stablecoins

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes. From "Lost to the West" by Lars Brownworth.

There’s this new physical bitcoin that’s ripping. It’s called gold.

By the way, the reverse setup happens all the time - withdrawal transactions arrive over nights, weekends, and holidays while banks are closed - but I don’t think we’ve seen a redemption compelled when a chain goes down. I think it is reasonable to expect we will though.

Depending on the shape of the liveness issue, (size and permanence of the mempool) you would likely want to continuously rebroadcast the administrative transaction as well, opening up the opportunity to raise the fee over time.

Presumably the fee wouldn’t have to be astronomical because you can manually check every redemption request the chain finalized before the pause transaction finalized but the pause transaction could become the target of censorship so you wouldn’t want to YOLO a normal fee.

The issuer would be incentivized to either broadcast a blacklist transaction for the address or a global pause transaction if there might be more than one compelled withdrawal. The fee would be quite large to make sure the transaction went in as soon as liveness returned.

If a #stablecoin is on a blockchain that suffers a longterm liveness issue, would be redeemers might engage a court for a redemption even though they can’t surrender their tokens. The issuer would have to honor the request but would open themselves up to “double withdrawals”.

Hot take: If you haven’t seen the Alien movies, watch Aliens before Alien because it is more fun not to really know what you are getting into when you go in with the Marines (which is what Aliens is about) because they didn’t know either. They find out as you do.

#tradfi is super anti-fragile.

Right now the agentic economy is facing a similar question. #AI agents aren’t going to open bank accounts - they will use internet native money. With #x402 there is a strong chance $USDC is the choice as well.
