๐ฌ Why Vitalik didnโt go full Satoshi โ no masks, no mystery
On The Network State podcast, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin explained why he launched Ethereum openly, unlike the anonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. In 2013, Buterin was 19. He admits he didnโt think much about anonymity โ he was just excited and inexperienced. He also pointed out the timing: Back in 2008, crypto was unknown and risky. Governments? Unpredictable. But by 2013, the blockchain world felt more stable โ less danger, more clarity. Vitalik went public โ and it worked. ๐

Now in preview via Copilot Labs, but only for users in the US, UK, and Canada (for now). Itโs cute. Itโs smart. Just try not to fall for it. ๐ป๐

๐ธ Vince Gilligan is back โ with Pluribus, a new Apple TV+ sci-fi series
The Breaking Bad creator returns with Pluribus, a genre-bending sci-fi drama starring Better Call Saulโs Rhea Seehorn. The twist? Itโs about โthe most miserable person aliveโฆ who must save the world from happiness.โ Yeah. That. Premiering Nov 7 on Apple TV+, the show kicks off with 2 episodes, then weekly drops. Itโs already renewed for season 2, before anyoneโs seen season 1. Total faith from Apple. Set in a reimagined Albuquerque, this isnโt the drug-fueled desert of BB, but a warped version of reality facing radical change. Sci-fi with a human core.
Weird, deep, and maybe a little sad โ classic Gilligan. Letโs go.

Italian researchers built WhoFi โ a system that turns regular Wi-Fi into an invisible motion tracker. No camera. No device. Just you. Your body distorts radio waves, and WhoFi reads those patterns like a biometric signature. Accuracy? Up to 95.5%. It works in total darkness, even through walls. On the outside: normal Wi-Fi. Inside? A neural net trained to recognize your unique signal distortion. Privacy? LOL. With tech like this, youโre always โonlineโ โ even when youโre not. ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ
Matt Hougan from Bitwise just dropped a hot take: the classic halving-based BTC cycle is over. Why? ๐น Halvings used to shock supply โ now constant buying from institutions overrides that. ๐น Market crashes? Less likely with stronger regulation and institutional backing. ๐น The new force: ETF inflows, just warming up. Legislation like the GENIUS Act is letting Wall Street flood in โ and theyโre bringing billions.
Hougan predicts not a supercycle, but a โsteady, sustainable boomโ through 2026 โ with plenty of volatility along the way. ๐

๐ฎ Lego Game Boy: looks like a dream, plays like a brick
Lego just dropped a Nintendo Game Boy set โ and yeah, itโs gorgeous. Nearly true to size, working A/B buttons, printed details (no stickers!), even a serial number easter egg. But... ๐ฎ You canโt actually play. At all. Itโs a static model. Still, it comes with two swappable cartridges featuring lenticular screens โ tilt it and youโll see Mario or Zelda come to life, old-school style. Price: $60. Preorders open, ships Oct 1. A cool tribute for retro fans โ just donโt expect gameplay. Itโs stylish nostalgia. Totally useless. Still want one. ๐
