🚨 THIS IS SATOSHI NAKAMOTO This time pointing to Daira Emma Hopwood, a trans woman previously known as David-Sarah Hopwood, a cryptographer who worked on $ZEC. Why him? Back in 2010, Satoshi mentioned key blinding concepts in a post, which connects to Hopwood's later work on private transactions and blinded keys. Add British citizenship to the mix, and the fact that Satoshi used British spelling and was active during GMT hours, and people started connecting dots. I get why it sounds compelling at first glance, but it doesn't really hold up when you look closer. The timeline is off. In 2008-2009, when Bitcoin was being built, Hopwood was early in his career. Creating Bitcoin required deep expertise across cryptography, distributed systems, and economical design - that kind of knowledge takes years to develop. The technical overlaps aren't unique, either. Key blinding is fundamental cryptography that tons of people in the field work with. It's not some secret knowledge that points to one specific person. But the biggest thing that doesn't make sense? Behavior. Satoshi disappeared completely in 2011 and has stayed hidden for over 13 years. Hopwood has been publicly active in crypto this whole time under his "real" name. If you went through all that effort to create Bitcoin anonymously and vanish, why would you then publicly work on privacy coins where everyone knows who you are? These theories pop up constantly - Szabo, Finney, dozens of others. They're usually based on surface-level coincidences that fall apart under scrutiny. This one follows the same pattern. But whoever Satoshi really is - thanks for Bitcoin (at least for now). Without that first step, we wouldn't have crypto cards like @useTria, no AI like @Velvet_Capital has that helps you with managing DeFi positions, etc. The whole ecosystem exists because someone had the vision to start it all. I hope it won't become a system for global financial control, where there will be no place for privacy, because if it will become one, we know how to blame (not exactly). Do you think this is him, who launched this space?

My cinnamon roll game just went through the roof.
Huge AI news from Google Google Research just unveiled a bold new ML paradigm that views a model as a stack of nested problems so it can keep learning new skills forever without forgetting the old ones, a huge leap toward AI that actually evolves like a brain. 👀 On tests of language modeling, long context reasoning and continual learning, Hope (self modifying architecture) outperformed traditional transformer architectures and older methods. Big progress

Dnipro. A young girl was pulled from the rubble, her mother survived — but her father is still missing. The city is under ballistic missile strikes right now. This is russian terror. Pure, unrelenting horror.
Dnipro. The inside of the damaged building — absolute hell. There are people under the rubble.
Ironically in a market where everything actually pumps, it can be hard to discern the leaders from the rest at times. How do you choose between $ZEC, $FIL, $H, $FET, $STRK and many others? The leaders will continue to lead. The next few days will be important if this actually is a real rally

Этот пост — классический пример советско-патриотического фейка, где всё перевёрнуто с ног на голову, чтобы подпитать миф о «великом одиночестве СССР против фашизма». Разберёмся спокойно и по фактам. ⸻ 1. Цифры — чушь. «Дания 6 часов», «Франция 40 дней» — это выдумка из ватных пабликов. Реальность: •Франция сражалась 6 недель, а потом продолжала бой через Сопротивление и колонии (Северная Африка, Сирия, Индокитай). •Греция дала немцам отпор на 5 месяцев, а не 24 дня. •Польша билась 36 дней, причём одновременно с нападением СССР 17 сентября. •Югославия сражалась более 10 дней, но там началось партизанское движение, одно из крупнейших в Европе. ⸻ 2. «Дом Павлова» — мифологизированный символ. Да, оборона длилась 58 дней, но сам бой шёл в рамках огромной сталинградской битвы, где потери СССР составили миллионы. Сравнивать это с целыми странами — примерно как сравнивать шахматную фигуру с целой партией. ⸻ 3. Европа действительно спасла мир от фашизма. Без промышленности США, без англо-американского фронта, без союзных конвоев, без тысяч самолётов, танков и тонн продовольствия СССР бы просто не выстоял. — В 1941 году по ленд-лизу СССР получил бензин, сталь, машины, паровозы, тушёнку, обувь, авиабензин — всё, чего сам производить не мог. — А открытие второго фронта в 1944 году окончательно похоронило Третий рейх. ⸻ 4. СССР сам помог Гитлеру начать войну. Не забудем — 1939 год, пакт Молотова–Риббентропа. СССР и Германия делят Польшу, вместе устраивают парады в Бресте, вместе торгуют нефтью и металлом. Без этого союза Гитлер не рискнул бы напасть на Запад. ⸻ 5. Европа не капитулировала — она возродилась. После войны именно «те самые страны», над которыми издеваются ватники, создали Европейский союз, НАТО, высокий уровень жизни, демократию и науку. А «победоносный СССР» через 40 лет рухнул под тяжестью лжи, коррупции и экономической деградации. ⸻ Итог: Этот мем — не про историю, а про комплекс неполноценности. Он пытается принизить чужие подвиги, чтобы забыть, что СССР сам был соучастником начала войны и удерживал под сапогом пол-Европы после неё. Так что пусть авторы таких постов лучше откроют не «Дом Павлова», а книгу по истории без цензуры.
