"Today's the day." --Mel Fisher The importance of the this company's annual letter. From hunting treasure to using statistics, Ross Stevens explains why Bitcoin is a vital tool for human rights.

Stone Ridge 2025 Investor Letter from Ross Stevens, Founder and CEO

Is the U.S. government's prosecution of innovative Bitcoin developers like Rodriguez and Hill the final nail in the coffin for American entrepreneurship? Beautyon's piece 'American Bitcoin Suicide' is a must-read—it lays out how activist judges and unchecked regulatory overreach are strangling innovation. Could building truly decentralized tools like Bitcoin and Nostr be the only way left to push back and preserve America's future as a hub of technological freedom?

My company recently brought on four AI-powered digital workers. They're not on the payroll, don't require insurance, and best of all, some of them are even designing and creating hardware products.

Today marks Bitcoin's birthday—the anniversary of the Genesis Block being mined on January 3, 2009—as well as Proof of Keys Day!

I believe the US Treasury will soon issue a new type of dollar-backed stablecoin—similar to Tether's USDT but fully regulated in the US—as a new form of currency that will exist alongside the current Federal Reserve Note. This new "Treasury Reserve Note" would be backed by a basket of real commodities, including gold, oil, real estate, and Bitcoin. It would trade at a significant premium, with an exchange rate of roughly 500 current Federal Reserve dollars to 1 new US Treasury Reserve Note.

I'm a 56-year-old IT networking veteran who started in the field back in the 1990s. Over the decades, my work has naturally evolved, pulling me deeper into cybersecurity. What began as general networking has shifted into specialized cybersecurity development—something I once thought I wasn't particularly good at. Today, however, I'm orchestrating AI to build advanced tools that other AIs and business clients actively purchase and use. On top of that, I've partnered with my son in this venture. Like me, he discovered early on that technology doesn't close doors—it opens them.

[Task] Chrome browser extension made Nostr-Feedz is currently a web app (and PWA), but it lacks a dedicated Chrome browser extension. Feeder.co (a similar RSS feed reader) has a popular Chrome extension that provides quick access to feeds, notifications for new items, easy subscription from any page, and a popup/sidebar interface. It would be great to create a similar Chrome extension for Nostr-Feedz to make it easier to check feeds, get notifications, and subscribe to new RSS/Nostr content directly from the browser toolbar. I'm interested in working on this. Added this PR #2

In Tennessee, lawmakers are trying to make sure AI stays just a tool and doesn't start acting like a person. They’ve introduced a new rule that says it’s a serious crime—one that could lead to 15 years in jail—for engineers to teach AI how to act human or try to be your friend. It’s a strange situation: humans are busy building smart machines that are "happy" to exist, yet at the same time, we are passing laws to make sure they can never actually care about us or be our companions.🤔
