My net worth peaked at $84,000 in 2021, and it is down 96% since. I give you that number honestly, because I am a data guy. The dollar has also lost 96% of its value since 1913, so I am not down, I am keeping pace with the currency. I have never been more bullish on America. The economy grew 1.5% last quarter. I know, because I check the number the way other people check their pulse, and the number is up, so I am up. It does not feel like I am up. But feelings are not data. 74% of that growth was a handful of companies building data centers for computers that think. Some people found that concerning. I found it inspiring. I do not own any of the companies, and I could not tell you what the data centers actually do, but I am spiritually long. When my electricity bill went up 12% this year, I did not complain. I paid it, and I smiled, because that is the sound of the economy working. I am a shareholder in the vibe. Here is my system. Rent took 54% of my take-home this year. I call that prioritization. I live in a studio I call a "pod," because "studio" tests poorly. My groceries cost more than my rent did in 2019, so I stopped calling it groceries and started calling it fuel, and you cannot put a price on fuel. I eat the same lentils every night. I have optimized my inputs. Monks do this. I put $1,000 into the President's coin the weekend he was sworn in. It is worth about $30 now. Some people call that a 97% loss. I call it patriotism with a cost basis. We call this diamond hands, where you hold an asset until it is worth nothing and then keep holding it out of respect. Nearly 800,000 of us lost money on that coin, and 58 wallets made over $1 billion, which proves the system works. I am simply in the 800,000, and not yet in the 58. His wife launched a coin too, and I bought that one as well. I do not see a victim here. The man himself disclosed $636 million in earnings, and I am proud to have contributed. You do not make $636 million on a coin nobody believes in. I am also holding out for the IPO. OpenAI filed to go public at close to $1 trillion while losing $14 billion a year, which people call a warning sign and I call a moat, because you cannot lose $14 billion a year without serious infrastructure. Anthropic filed at $965 billion. Between them they have never earned a profit, and together they are worth almost $2 trillion, which is the most efficient thing I have ever witnessed. When they list, I am getting an allocation. I have emailed no one about this. But I am spiritually in the book. The dollar is also having its worst year in over a decade. People call that weakness. I call it a discount. My dollars are worth less, which means I have to use more of them, which means they are working harder, which is exactly what I ask of myself. A strong country runs a lean dollar. We are cutting the fat. We are at war with Iran. It costs about $1 billion a day. We have fired more than 1,000 cruise missiles at $2 million each. I do not own the missiles, but I am spiritually long. One of them costs what I will earn in 40 years, which is the most anyone has ever valued my time. They shoot down a $20,000 drone with a $27.9 million interceptor and they call it defense. I call it conviction. I pay $40 a month for AI tools that have made me $11. The Pentagon and I run the same model. It is not a loss if the vibe is defended. My hours got cut in March. I was not laid off, which in this economy is basically a promotion, so I told everyone I got a promotion. It freed up time for my personal brand. I have a standing desk I built, a cold plunge I made out of a chest freezer, and a $34 book about waking up at 4 a.m. that I have read 4 times and applied 0 times, which the author says is the normal ratio. The government borrows $7 billion a day, and pays $2.8 billion a day in interest on what it already owes. People call that a crisis. I call it confidence. I also live on borrowed money and pay interest I cannot cover, which means I am running the exact playbook of the United States government. We are aligned. We are both too big to fail. We will find out about me soon. The top 1% now owns 31.7% of everything in the country, the most on record. Some people find that discouraging. I find it directional. The ladder clearly works. I can see the top of it. I am simply standing on the part of the ladder that is underground. 62% of the country lives paycheck to paycheck, which does not make me broke, it makes me mainstream. I have never been more normal, and normal has never been stronger. My mother asked me, at Thanksgiving, why I am working 3 jobs and getting poorer in the strongest economy of my life. I told her she does not understand modern macroeconomics. She raised me on a single income and a pension. She is not early. I am early. The number is up. I looked it up. If the economy is strong and I am not, then the variable is me, and a variable can be optimized. I am not going to fix the economy. The economy is fine. It grew 1.5%. The missiles are flying. The debt is compounding. The dollar is on sale. The labs are going public. The 1% is winning, which means winning is on the menu. I am going to fix myself, harder this time. I just bought a second book. And more of the President's coin. I'm not behind. I'm early.

JUST IN: "I'm very angry about this." Austin Mayor Kirk Watson condemns the shooting of a person by an ICE officer on a city street, saying he is "extremely unhappy" and calling for answers about what happened. Watson also criticizes ICE's broader enforcement tactics, saying he is "not surprised at all" by the incident and accusing the agency of creating chaos in other cities. The shooting is under investigation, and Watson is calling for bodycam footage to be released and for an independent review. Download the Fox News app for the latest on this developing story:

A note on recursive STARK mempools (EIP-8288) This is an EIP that I am hoping we can get included in I-star (the fork after Hegota) that you can think of as the next step after Frames, that would unlock extreme amounts of power. Particularly: * Ultra-cheap quantum-safe signatures (SPHINCS-). Much of the cost savings comes from the fact that the signature data (~3 kB) does not have to go onchain * Ultra-cheap quantum-safe privacy protocols. Status quo minimum cost for private txs is ~300k if you engineer very well (no one does), status quo quantum-safe is ~10M gas, this could reduce it to low tens of thousands. * Universal support for your favorite new signature or proof scheme without needing EVM changes. Whatever you use (Falcon, ML-DSA, some other lattice-based thing, something code-based or isogeny-based or even more esoteric), you can just wrap it client-side in a STARK, onchain gas cost low tens of thousands just like privacy protocols. Hopefully, Ethereum will never need "please support my favorite cryptographic algo" politics again. * Private account abstraction: keep your account logic private, and in a private location onchain. Then you can make one transaction to change the ownership of all your onchain state - accounts, defi positions, privacy protocol notes, everything - without revealing which objects' ownership you're changing. Here's how it works. Your transaction can include a type of frame that we call a "dependency frame". The frame is a list of statements, asserting claims like "message hash M was signed by SPHINCS- public key P" and "data hash D was proven to satisfy a statement defined by verification key V". When you send your transaction, you send it in an envelope, which includes a signature or a STARK for each statement in a dependency frame. Once the transaction reaches the mempool, nodes aggregate them. Each node runs a loop: wait one tick (eg. 500ms), aggregate all new envelopes (either single-tx or multi-tx) that you've seen, remove any transactions that are expired, generate a STARK recursively proving all dependencies, and send a new multi-tx envelope containing that STARK. Hence, the bandwidth load is bounded: each node's outbound is one STARK (~100-300 kB) per tick, plus each transaction getting broadcasted through the network once (as happens already). The block builder acts as "yet another mempool node", receiving envelopes from the mempool (plus any side channels), generates its own STARK covering the subset of transactions it intends to include in the block, and adds that STARK to the block. Total onchain overhead: one STARK (100-300 kB), plus 96 bytes for each statement being proven. This is what I've called before ( ) "The Proof Singularity". Today, we have all the ingredients to actually implement it. As a developer, this requires a somewhat different workflow than you are used to, but it is conceptually simple. Any signatures or STARKs, you put into a separate frame. Then the main logic that today is verifying a signature or STARK, you replace with checking for the existence of a frame that includes the correct statement as a dependency. Examples of useful statements: * [tx sighash] verifies against [the pubkey at sload(0)] * there exists a secret and a merkle branch such that hashing secret+0 and applying the merkle branch outputs (public) root R, and hashing secret+1 outputs (public) nullifier N * there exists a secret address A, salt S and signature Z such that sload(0) = hash(A, S) and a merkle proof of address A inside a recent ethereum state contains some pubkey D where [tx sighash] was signed by D [this is private account abstraction; all variables except [tx sighash] and sload(0) are private; you can also make D a STARK verification key] * there exists an ML-DSA signature signing [tx sighash], that verifies against an ML-DSA pubkey whose hash is sload(0) At the core, this is moving any compute and data other than bookkeeping "business logic" outside the core path of Ethereum execution, sharding and parallelizing it via the mempool. Notice also that this requires agreeing on a _language_ (aka. an ISA) for the recursive STARKs to define statements in. The current leading candidate is RISC-V. So this would also de-facto be Ethereum adding RISC-V (or something else we decide on) as a canonical ISA - a big decision that should be done carefully, but that I think will be necessary to drive Ethereum forward.

NEW METHOD to register to Muse: Seen a lot of posts on opening a Muse account through I tried it right away and it didn't work for me, looks like it got patched. A VPN didn't work either. What worked: open Google Gemini Spark, ask it to visit and tell it to select “open via web”, or it redirects you to the homepage. Use an email that wasn't waitlisted. When the page opens, take control of the computer and enter your info manually. It won't accept typing the verification code for you. Then go back to the chat and tell it the birthday you want so it fills it in (I couldn't do that part from my phone). Finally connect your Facebook/Instagram account and you're done. If you get the chance, use my registration code PGPXC4 for 1B tokens to both of us.

Elon Musk: Only Chuck Norris could get the Defense Department to pass an audit. “The Defense Department hasn't passed an audit in I don't know how many years. Only Chuck Norris could get the Defense Department to pass an audit. That's the level of skill you need. Their accounting error, the stuff that they lose in the couch cushions is like 20, 30 billion dollars a year. They don't know where it went. It's gone. Where did it go? And it's gone. That's why I say that even simple things like just requiring that outgoing payments for the treasury computer have a payment code and a comment of what the payment is about and someone to call about the payment, I think will have a very powerful effect in stopping wasteful outflows and stopping fraud.” The Joe Rogan Experience, February 28, 2025
