Notes may be permanent. My opinions aren't. Founder, Tetrapolar — bitcoin-native settlement for global trade. Secure, non-custodial, discreet.

I understand that the world is not a “fair” place. But if you win by lying, cheating, gaslighting, blackmailing, etc, is it really something to be proud of?

Say, I invented a new way of doing payments. Nothing complicated, just never tried before. But this business model is not covered by any existing “crypto” license.

Do I just do it? Or do I ask for permission to do it, likely getting a “no” or risking years of delays waiting for a “yes, but with these numerous conditions”?

If not for bureaucracy, we’d surely be way more ahead today.

When you have an idea that you think is cool and then start asking yourself “Am I allowed to do that?”, there’s something wrong.

How cool will it be if Plati actually succeeds as a business?

Nostriches would be the witnesses of how I started tinkering with AI, then fully immersing myself in vibe-coding, then (coming soon) launching the MVP, getting users, hiring or partnering with technical and marketing people, growing it. All in real time, every step broadcast, so that it can be looked up in the future.

Or, like most businesses, it can go the other way and end up as another item in my “mistakes are experience, bro, you’re on a journey” bucket.

In Russia, there’s the Fast Payments System.

I’m 99% sure they stole the UX from Bitcoin because it uses QR codes for payments. Payments are instant and final. They cannot be reversed — you have to talk to the merchant about a refund, not the bank.

Most merchants, online and offline, accept this payment method. Most banking apps support paying with it.

It’s perfect for Plati’s architecture, and I’m starting with that.

I’ll try to be what they call a “facefag” for a little bit.

This is the coolest bitcoin dashboard I’ve seen. Makes me want to have an extra monitor in my wallet somewhere.

Now that AI is here, it’ll actually be easier to explain to my kids why they shouldn’t trust everything they see on a screen. As a matter of fact, it may be better to train them to treat everything as fiction unless proven otherwise.
