Sad news: Kaichi has now shut down. We loved what that team attempted on Solana first with Solcial and then Kaichi.
The Solana socialfi torch is still carried on by @BULB Official though and we're here for the long haul with them.

"Love is the closest thing to madness".
This quote forms the premise of a story birthed by Thed Utuh and I.

SWALLOWTAIL is a book we wrote with pieces of our experiences interwoven into a tale of love, loss, darkness and some glimpses of light.

Four years after the first draft
Three years after the first release
I am soo glad to announce to you that "SWALLOWTAIL " is now available for download on AMAZON https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0G91RHVT2/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0

A financial sector CISO recognizes the inherent risks of MCPs, that are used by agentic AIs, and role-plays the attackers to find vulnerabilities to protect the overall environment! Focusing red and purple team investments to areas that are likely to be leveraged by malicious adversaries is a great way to prioritize resources for maximum proactive benefit. 

This will be an area of intense risk in the coming year.

The aesthetic energy inkd brings to the Solana ecosystem is always worth a look. This specific work, inkd-drip-01-05-202666, feels like a snapshot from a future we are already half-living in. The contrast between the shadows and the neon highlights is brilliantly executed.

InksOnChain's #003 is all about the depth created through repetition. By layering thousands of fine lines, the artist creates a topographical map of a world that only exists in ink. It’s a stunning example of how "less is more" when you focus on the movement of a single stroke. 🖋️

Watching Bitcoin with the calm of someone who has seen many cycles unfold.

Waiting around 59k. 

Every correction carries its own lesson, and every dip tests conviction more than strategy. 

The real question is never if it will recover, but how deep the market needs to breathe before momentum returns. 

In the end, volatility fades, and what remains is the long arc.

Inflation isn’t new, but the way it organizes everyday life has changed.

It shows up quietly — in food, rent, and the shrinking space between income and survival.

For some, it’s constant pressure. For others, barely noticeable.

In my new essay, I look at inflation not as an error, but as a symptom of a system built around assets, abstraction, and unequal protection.

If living feels more expensive, this text starts from that experience.

New article on my profile.

I’ve been having difficulty swapping SOL and BULB tokens. I can’t complete this week’s swapping challenge. It either shows “Cannot Swap,” or even when there’s an equivalent BULB amount for my SOL, it prompts “Cannot Swap” again, and both becomes 0 when I try.

Gold just made a powerful move upward before a sharp pullback. This isn’t random — it’s driven by global risk and investor fear.

There is something so magnetic about the way rax blends liquid forms with sharp digital silhouettes. Seeing this figure take a "Smallstep" into such a vibrant, chaotic world is a vibe. If you’ve followed rax’s work on Mallow or seen their "acid" style on Instagram, you know they have a unique way of making the digital feel fluid and alive. This piece is a perfect example of that ethereal, glowing journey.

Does this process flow look familiar? It is the compounding failure due to an absence of cybersecurity fundamentals.

When innovation plows forward without the benefit of cybersecurity, there will eventually be tears, finger pointing, and loss.

Cybersecurity should partner at every phase to help communicate risks, architect in security principles, develop strong defenses, test for vulnerabilities, establish operational security monitoring, and prepare for crisis to strengthen resilience.

​See those pale, speckled spots on my water spinach? It’s not a nutrient deficiency—it’s actually the work of Whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci).
​These tiny pests are "polyphagous," meaning they aren't picky eaters. They migrated right over from my chili plants to feast on these tender leaves.
My Fix-it Plan:

1. ​🟡 Deploying Yellow Sticky Traps.
2. ​🧄 Spraying a mild organic garlic solution.
3. ​📏 Increasing the distance between different plant varieties.

If only I could sell my spins. XD Spinning all these points will make me sleepy XD.

In my new article, I share some reflections on my experience writing on BULB so far. From usability and community to tokenomics and open questions.

Worth the read. Curious to hear what you think.

🗻 Mount Roraima: The Lost World on a Floating Island

🏔️ Mount Roraima rises where Venezuela and Brazil meet, towering like a floating island above the clouds. With sheer cliffs and a vast flat summit, this ancient plateau feels like a lost world frozen in time.

Bitcoin is often judged by its price.

This article looks beyond speculation: at scarcity, monetary power, and long-term sovereignty.

A new essay on Bitcoin, debt, and why the protocol still matters.

Read the full piece on my profile.

📈 Why is Monero (XMR) pumping today?

• +7.5% price surge in 24h
• $282M hack funds rotated into XMR via THORChain
• Low liquidity amplified the move
• Strong technical bounce from $614–625 support
• Renewed interest in privacy-focused assets
🔍 XMR shows how narrative + structure can move markets fast.
⚠️ But regulatory risks still loom large.

🚀 The sale of Farcaster revives a core Web3 question: how do platforms balance decentralization, sustainability, and growth?

Even ideal-driven projects face real limits.

On BULB, this moment invites reflection: platforms aren’t fixed ideologies, but living systems shaped by how they adapt with their communities.

A CRYPTO “DOOMSDAY” SCENARIO ? 🔥 💀 👀 👇

Stop crypto becoming pure speculation, push toward true decentralization + Web2 UX.

Speculation erodes trust, centralized L2s recreate single points of failure, and concentrated AI risks surveillance.

Decentralized preserves freedom and resilience.

Masha Allah, a stunning day started now . Done by morning prayer and short walk. Waiting now for my breakfast, the best scent of Brazilian coffee reaching to me , definitely

So.... This "Bitcoin" ETF is cash, BTC and shares of the other Bitcoin ETF?

It's Wall Street games all the way down What's the bet Coinbase isn't even holding BTC?

The 2008 financial crisis proved: you can't trust what you can't verify. Tradfi have engineered crypto products that, legally, replaced 'verify don't trust' with 'trust me bro'.

The CIA's Operation Acoustic Kitty failed because nobody stopped to ask:

"Even if we CAN make a cyborg cat, will it actually follow directions?"

Anyone who's owned a cat could have answered that question for free.

Perfect Example of Cybersecurity Leadership Failure
An uninformed leader (in this case of cybersecurity) who does not understand the assignment and leaks sensitive data via an AI chat tool.

Even though CISA has a policy that forbids ChatGPT, because of the risks of data exposure, the new head of that agency lobbied for an exception and then accidentally leaked sensitive information when using the tool.

We must do better. It starts with having competent leadership.

Crypto is bleeding. When that happens, the emotional crowd leaves and the feeds fill up with slop and theories.

What’s refreshing is seeing that BULB, at least a bit, doesn’t follow the panic.

Good texts keep circulating.
Good thinking keeps getting published.

Let’s keep it that way — a community that puts quality first.
