"Code is precise, structured specification," I said, imploringly. "Attempts to replace code with imprecise human language either fail or gradually turn back into code as they mature." But he didn't hear me; he was busy debugging the YAML file he uses to vibe code his web app.

No miner has ever sold the bitcoin network a counterfeit block and the bitcoin network has never failed to pay a miner for a block it has purchased.

It's not *my* fault; I *didn't know* that buying that used couch on Craigslist would lead to the collapse of independent journalism.

When code becomes words, then development becomes discourse, implementation becomes theory of mind, libraries become memories, API calls become conversations, security becomes making threats, debugging becomes therapy, and infrastructure becomes people management.

It's *like* Hadoop but there's no zookeeper; the various and sundry JVM processes are independent agents that don't trust each other. Giant marketplaces incentivize them using bitcoin payments to flock together in exascale mapreduce jobs. More murmuration than computation.

Bitcoin is for generations. It’s not just yours—it’s for the people you love. Have you planned what happens if something happens to you? Your legacy is worth more than bitcoin.

A decentralized currency with a fixed supply released on a predetermined schedule REQUIRES decentralized *timestamping*. (This is one reason why #Bitcoin has a "timechain".) Q: Does a decentralized payment network (a "Layer 2") REQUIRE decentralized *routing*?

Decentralization comes from carefully aligned economic incentives enabled by bitcoin—not blockchains.

A brief history of cryptocurrency: * Hashcash: Computations are money * BitGold: Bundles of computations are money * B-Money: Computations create money * #Bitcoin: Computations purchase money * Altcoins: What are computations?

Many are woefully confused and misguided when it comes to the perceived competition that bitcoin is engaged in with other cryptocurrencies. In reality, it isn't a competition at all. @parkeralewis and @dhruvbansal explain why. tftc.io/bitcoin-not-cr…

Recently I was targeted by an extremely sophisticated phishing attack, and I want to highlight it here. It exploits a vulnerability in Google's infrastructure, and given their refusal to fix it, we're likely to see it a lot more. Here's the email I got:
