I have never felt so energized and optimistic about the future of Ethereum. We are about to land the most profound paradigm shift in recorded history: the societal transition to decentralized trust. Ethereum is no longer an experiment; it is the new foundation for digital trust. We are just getting started.
Amber Group just deployed $10M into GAIB’s GPU-backed yield vaults. they were early liquidity for $NEAR, $TON, and $SUI, now backing $AID: the first synthetic dollar tied to real AI compute demand. other backers? Dragonfly, Paradigm, Sequoia. $72B+ AUM.
Wow. The minimum aid requirement for Gaza for this Senator is just baby formula.... not baby formula, food and medicine for the whole population. The degree to which this otherwise articulate wom*****cks self-awareness as to what she is actually saying is incredible. I've explained this before as the paradigm - the paradigm she has been sold, the Israeli line, determines for her what is intelligible. And so blocking of all food to the population [bar baby formula] has come to make sense to her.

RT @Crypto___Oracle: The thesis of Chainlink is completely different today than its early years. How it started: A single data oracle service How it's going: The Web3 cloud powering entire apps Chainlink started out simple, providing existing data on to blockchains. Onchain apps used that data to make decisions like whether to liquidate a loan or how to settle a perp. Chainlink then expanded into different types of computation (e.g., random number generation, keeper automation) before launching its cross-chain protocol. However, those were only building blocks to a much, much bigger value proposition emerging. With the introduction of the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE), Chainlink is primed to be the main way developers and institutions both build onchain apps and power them through their lifecycle. Chainlink is no longer just a service or even set of services, but the foundation underpinning onchain apps and use cases. It’s akin to the cloud but decentralized and for onchain apps, providing them the development framework for building apps, the key services they require, and the computation that powers them on the backend. But why is this important? And why is Chainlink doing this? The blockchain landscape is changing. You used to use a single blockchain as your cloud-like environment. But now there are hundreds of chains and you want to be able to interact across them all. Transactions are also more complex with the introduction of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). This is the phenomenon of all the world’s existing value becoming tokenized, which is 100x the value that currently exists onchain. Thus, you must adopt RWAs if you want to succeed in this industry long term at any scale. However, the introduction of RWAs requires new services. They require data like DeFi, but even more types of data, such as proof of reserves, net asset value, and much more. They also require compliance policies built into the asset itself and the services transacting them, which naturally needs identity data to work. Furthermore, they need privacy features, connectivity across chains, and integrations with legacy systems. The best way to build an app like this is through a single platform that is chain-agnostic and has all the key services already built-in. This is Chainlink. Chainlink is the only all in one platform where institutions can solve all their data, cross-chain, compliance/identity, privacy, and legacy system integration requirements. And importantly, they can combine these service into one sequential workflow (i.e., one piece of code) that Chainlink runs securely end-to-end in a decentralized manner. This workflow is essentially an app that interacts seamlessly across chains and legacy systems while leveraging key services along its lifecycle. Once you build this workflow, you can easily reuse it and modify it to support new customers, new chains, new legacy systems, new oracle data, new use cases, etc without rewriting it all. It’s by far the most efficient and future-proof way to not only build DeFi apps, but apps for tokenized RWAs, which are the future of our industry. This value prop puts Chainlink at the heart of onchain applications; far beyond just being a side service. The market doesn’t quite understand yet how well Chainlink is positioned, but it will because its product offering, vision, and historical track record of delivering solutions meshes perfectly with where the industry is heading and what TradFi & DeFi require to succeed in this new RWA paradigm.

RT @sassal0x: Most people still don't understand the paradigm shift that is happening with ETH right now. Many of us Ethereans have believed that ETH is a store of value for many years now, but the rest of the world is only just now waking up to this and embracing it. The stars could not have aligned better for ETH over the last few months as everything that has happened (treasury companies especially) has put ETH on the path to becoming a serious institutional-grade store of value asset (with yield!). The best part is that we are at the very beginning of the outside world accepting ETH as a store of value and, more broadly, learning about the immense value of Ethereum and how it will reshape global finance. ETH is a $100 trillion asset trading at $470 billion.

RT @chen2rong2: I had Grok summarize the text of my discussions over the past few days. 👇 ------ The Elastos World Computer: Redefining Smart Contracts and Digital Trust The concept of a "Elastos World Computer," as articulated by Rong Chen in July 25, 2025, discourse, represents a transformative vision for the future of computing, blockchain, and digital ecosystems. By reimagining the internet as a single, cohesive computational entity, Chen's Elastos World Computer challenges conventional paradigms, emphasizing trusted computing, consensus-driven data validation, and decentralized digital rights management. This essay explores the core principles of the World Computer, the redefined role of smart contracts, and their implications for creating a secure, equitable, and decentralized digital future. The World Computer: A New Paradigm At its core, the World Computer envisions the internet not merely as a network of interconnected devices but as a unified computational platform akin to a globally shared, multi-user Linux system. Chen describes two primary definitions of the World Computer: a blockchain equipped with smart contracts and a network that abstracts the internet to deliver a seamless, computer-like user experience. This vision contrasts with traditional internet models, which often blur the lines between application and network runtimes, leading to vulnerabilities like data theft and malware proliferation. Elastos, as described by Chen, takes this concept further by treating the entire World Wide Web as a single computer. Applications and data files on this platform are transformed into unique digital commodities, akin to limited-edition PDFs, with trademarks represented as desktop icons. These digital assets operate within isolated WebAssembly virtual machines, ensuring near-native CPU efficiency and robust security through trusted computing methods. By verifying the identity of code module creators and ensuring tamper-proof hashes, Elastos establishes a foundation of trust that is critical for a decentralized ecosystem. Redefining Smart Contracts Smart contracts, as commonly understood in the blockchain community, are global data objects whose operations are validated by a network of nodes, achieving consensus through a 51% majority. However, Chen critiques the overemphasis on their "decentralized" nature—freedom from authoritative control—at the expense of their "consensus validation" attribute. This skewed focus highlights resistance to regulation while sidelining the democratic negotiation inherent in consensus-driven systems. In the Elastos World Computer, smart contracts are not the primary computational environment for user applications but rather an embedded system component. This distinction addresses a critical limitation of traditional smart contract platforms like Ethereum, which suffer from low transaction throughput (hundreds of transactions per second). By relegating smart contract consensus to a supportive role, Elastos ensures that application execution remains efficient and unhindered, akin to a smartphone’s biometric module that verifies identity without impeding app performance. Chen’s definition of smart contracts as "computations that operate on a (virtual) world variable" reframes their purpose. Rather than being a universal solution, smart contracts are specialized tools for managing global data states, serving as intermediaries for digital commodity transactions and ensuring fairness through consensus. This nuanced perspective challenges hyperbolic comparisons, such as likening blockchain to an iPhone capable of running any app or a 1946 general-purpose computer with ever-increasing speed. The Four Trusted Execution Environments of Elastos The Elastos World Computer is built on four trusted runtime environments, each designed to enhance security and user control: 1. PC2 Home Server: Utilizing hardware like the Nvidia Jetson Nano Super, with future support for Mac and Windows, this environment ensures that devices are genuine at the point of installation, reducing the risk of supply-chain attacks. 2. WCI Sidechain: Unlike permissionless smart contract deployment on the Elastos Smart Chain (ESC), the World Computer Initiative (WCI) sidechain requires DAO authorized signatures for smart contract updates, preventing malicious deployments. This chain also stores application trademarks as NFTs, ensuring their uniqueness. 3. WebAssembly Virtual Machines: Applications run in isolated Wasmer 6.0 environments, supporting POSIX standards and embedded operating systems. User access is verified through tokens (e.g., ERC1155), and applications lack direct network communication capabilities, mirroring smartphone security models where communication requires explicit user authorization. 4. Decentralized Network Routing: Users can select operators for specific applications (e.g., Tor for browsing, AT&T for banking), leveraging a Linux Fabric based protocol.

Its four trusted environments—home servers, WCI sidechain, WebAssembly virtual machines, and decentralized routing—create a robust framework for secure computation and data ownership. As the digital landscape evolves, the Elastos World Computer’s emphasis on trust, privacy, and user empowerment positions it as a beacon of hope for a future where technology serves humanity without compromising its values.
I had Grok summarize the text of my discussions over the past few days. 👇 ------ The Elastos World Computer: Redefining Smart Contracts and Digital Trust The concept of a "Elastos World Computer," as articulated by Rong Chen in July 25, 2025, discourse, represents a transformative vision for the future of computing, blockchain, and digital ecosystems. By reimagining the internet as a single, cohesive computational entity, Chen's Elastos World Computer challenges conventional paradigms, emphasizing trusted computing, consensus-driven data validation, and decentralized digital rights management. This essay explores the core principles of the World Computer, the redefined role of smart contracts, and their implications for creating a secure, equitable, and decentralized digital future. The World Computer: A New Paradigm At its core, the World Computer envisions the internet not merely as a network of interconnected devices but as a unified computational platform akin to a globally shared, multi-user Linux system. Chen describes two primary definitions of the World Computer: a blockchain equipped with smart contracts and a network that abstracts the internet to deliver a seamless, computer-like user experience. This vision contrasts with traditional internet models, which often blur the lines between application and network runtimes, leading to vulnerabilities like data theft and malware proliferation. Elastos, as described by Chen, takes this concept further by treating the entire World Wide Web as a single computer. Applications and data files on this platform are transformed into unique digital commodities, akin to limited-edition PDFs, with trademarks represented as desktop icons. These digital assets operate within isolated WebAssembly virtual machines, ensuring near-native CPU efficiency and robust security through trusted computing methods. By verifying the identity of code module creators and ensuring tamper-proof hashes, Elastos establishes a foundation of trust that is critical for a decentralized ecosystem. Redefining Smart Contracts Smart contracts, as commonly understood in the blockchain community, are global data objects whose operations are validated by a network of nodes, achieving consensus through a 51% majority. However, Chen critiques the overemphasis on their "decentralized" nature—freedom from authoritative control—at the expense of their "consensus validation" attribute. This skewed focus highlights resistance to regulation while sidelining the democratic negotiation inherent in consensus-driven systems. In the Elastos World Computer, smart contracts are not the primary computational environment for user applications but rather an embedded system component. This distinction addresses a critical limitation of traditional smart contract platforms like Ethereum, which suffer from low transaction throughput (hundreds of transactions per second). By relegating smart contract consensus to a supportive role, Elastos ensures that application execution remains efficient and unhindered, akin to a smartphone’s biometric module that verifies identity without impeding app performance. Chen’s definition of smart contracts as "computations that operate on a (virtual) world variable" reframes their purpose. Rather than being a universal solution, smart contracts are specialized tools for managing global data states, serving as intermediaries for digital commodity transactions and ensuring fairness through consensus. This nuanced perspective challenges hyperbolic comparisons, such as likening blockchain to an iPhone capable of running any app or a 1946 general-purpose computer with ever-increasing speed. The Four Trusted Execution Environments of Elastos The Elastos World Computer is built on four trusted runtime environments, each designed to enhance security and user control: 1. PC2 Home Server: Utilizing hardware like the Nvidia Jetson Nano Super, with future support for Mac and Windows, this environment ensures that devices are genuine at the point of installation, reducing the risk of supply-chain attacks. 2. WCI Sidechain: Unlike permissionless smart contract deployment on the Elastos Smart Chain (ESC), the World Computer Initiative (WCI) sidechain requires DAO authorized signatures for smart contract updates, preventing malicious deployments. This chain also stores application trademarks as NFTs, ensuring their uniqueness. 3. WebAssembly Virtual Machines: Applications run in isolated Wasmer 6.0 environments, supporting POSIX standards and embedded operating systems. User access is verified through tokens (e.g., ERC1155), and applications lack direct network communication capabilities, mirroring smartphone security models where communication requires explicit user authorization. 4. Decentralized Network Routing: Users can select operators for specific applications (e.g., Tor for browsing, AT&T for banking), leveraging a Linux Fabric based protocol. This separation of application and network runtimes minimizes privacy risks and enhances user control. By sandboxing applications and services in Wasmer virtual machines, Elastos minimizes the attack surface for network viruses. Only Elastos-related software is installed on the host OS, and code signatures are verified during installation, significantly improving security compared to traditional systems where third-party software introduces vulnerabilities. The Role of the Network in Computing A central question in Chen’s vision is whether the network is part of the computation (application) or the computer (hardware environment).

On Hero Trades I've been investing full time in crypto since 2018, and am very fortunate to be in the right place at the right time a few times to get to a point that many investors aim for: trading/investing my own stack full time. Blessed to work with people smarter than me, we've ended up anywhere from top quartile to #1 by returns globally for 4 out of 7 of the years on global Blackrock HF or insto FoF rankings (the 3 exceptions being my first 2 years, and 2022 where I took a break to travel + non-compete + angel invest. Every year without exception, I will hear about a Hero trade. This takes the form of some fund going full stack into a coin at the lows, sometimes with hair-raising leverage, calling for a reversion that few dared to even dream of. Or going max short at the top of the cycle, calling for a reckoning for all the profligacies of the crypto bull market, being lambasted publicly for being bearish before ultimately being right. All hero trades share one thing in common: someone having a contrarian view, being quite public about it, and sizing aggressively before being right in a big way. And people love that shit. They lap it up every single time. People love underdog stories where someone proved everyone wrong. Who doesn't want to believe in "all it takes is one good hit"? This is why, 10 years since Christian Bale portrayed everyone's favorite hedge fund turbo-autist, mainstream media still makes headlines out of Michael Burry's investments religiously despite most of them being sorta...nothingburgers. So what's the issue with Hero trades? Strangely enough, with 1 exception (Paradigm's legendary $BTC full stack at fund launch), every single Hero trade story ended one way: the fund blows up down the road. I often wonder if it's because the investors get complacent off a big win and start getting sloppy. But that would only explain underperformance, not kamikazes. The more likely explanation? Probably something like this: You start as a humble gunslinger, perhaps even chastised publicly by swarms of anon pikers for holding an unpopular view. That builds resentment and a chip on your shoulder, so when you finally do end up being right in a big way, you feel vindicated. You've learnt to tune out people's criticism, but their unexpected adoration after your victory is hard to resist. You start to buy in your own hype. You have what @morganhousel called in The Psychology of Money "the swell head". "Maybe I am HIM,” you say to yourself. “Maybe I am that guy." You built your first big win by learning to tune out dissent and by betting aggressively; naturally your framework adapts to this. To win big, you must bet big. To bet big, you must have conviction. To have conviction, you must ignore the naysayers. Soon, you see rebuttals to your theses as little more than opinions from pikers who haven't earned their stripes, or worse - as criticisms of YOU, not your idea. You tune out things you should have listened to. Your confidence metastasize into arrogance. Some around you notice but most don’t feel qualified to intervene. You start slipping on entry and exit discipline. Your bet selection becomes sloppy. Your diligence sub par. Most importantly, your sizing adapted to your ego, not your risk tolerance. You no longer leaves space for variance. Why should you when you're a fucking genius and everybody's dumb? It’s like driving only by flooring the pedal to the metal, all the time, just because you won a round of go-kart last weekend. It's only a matter of time before you find your Volvo sedan wrapped around a street lamp like a taco shell. People want to hear about big ideas and idolize those who come up with them, and had the confidence to bet big on them. Everyone wants to hear about the giga-chad who 10x'd levered long $BTC at the Covid lows. No one wants to hear about how an investor ekes out a 51% win rate on thousands of trades, every year, without fail. “Investor practices prudent risk management and achieves steady compounding" is not going to get you a Netflix biopic. "Investor bets the farm on one risky bet" - that's the stuff that wins you a book deal. While I've had a handful of bets on the venture and liquid markets in my very lucky career that I'm very happy about, my foundation is the culmination of hundreds of small wins and losses. Above all, my biggest Hero trade is the people I’ve assembled around me. Every year, I was fortunate to surround myself with people who prioritize truth-seeking above ego, and see mistakes as a path to improvement and wins not as a validation of the self, but a data point about a process. People who don’t confuse dissent for disloyalty. I’ve also realized that, respectfully, none of your opinions are worth shit to me. The only people’s whose views matter are those in my team @tangent_xyz - especially when they dissent. This is perhaps the most valuable advice I can give anyone attempting to trade/invest full time: playing stupid popularity contest games on X is not just useless, but ACTIVELY harmful to your thinking. Unless you’re trying to win an election, courting the castigation or adulation of the mob amount to nothing. And I’m fairly certain most of you reading this aren’t running for any office any time soon. There is something poetic about Hero trades often planting the seeds for eventual demise. If you are lucky enough to hit a Hero trade, congratulations. Just don’t start thinking you’re the Hero of the story.

My biggest take away from speaking to @ethereumJoseph on the @MilkRoadDaily podcast yesterday was: We aren't thinking BIG enough about $ETH We really are about to move the entire financial system onto Ethereum - and institutions see it but not just finance, the entire global digital economy, which goes way beyond the existing financial system because of a new paradigm of permissionless and programmable rails we can create so many net new versions of what financial assets are And it will grow the financial system and economy to be much bigger and more efficient than it is today $ETH sits at the centre of it all as it's the economic security for the entire new financial system Here's the even better part, we have people like @ethereumJoseph @fundstrat @SamirTabar @AK_EtherMachine and many others spreading this story across wall street and mainstream They aren't just buying millions of $ETH every day, they are also waking up the world to this revolution We are going into a crazy adoption phase of crypto right now $ETH looks good here
People who called this weekend the top are deleting tweets Those of you in the old school who believe this is a bubble simply have not understood the new mathematics of the Blockchain, or you did not cared enough to try. Bubbles are mathematically impossible in this new paradigm
Good points, @LeChiffreZK. Should make for an exciting TGE. And years of powerful growth of the Linea token economy. The paradigm is about to shift. Because we believe in somETHing.

RT @HilzFuld: Story time!! This is a great one! Many years ago, when Tzvi and Aviel were little kids, I got an email from a guy named Yogev Shelly. He had a new startup that had built an educational platform. It was built from the ground up for kids. The founders told me about their vision and we did something I had never done before or since. They came to Beit Shemesh to demo the product to Tzvi and Aviel. You can see a picture of that meeting below. That’s what they looked like then and that next picture is what they look like now. 🤯 The name of the company was @TinyTapEDU and Tzvi and Aviel were their first “customers”. Fast forward to 2022, and they get acquired for tens of millions of dollars. In my mind, their success is totally because of Tzvi and Aviel. 😂 Anyway, I continued to follow the company closely and even wrote an article about them that you can see below. Well, a few weeks ago when my fb memories reminded me of that initial meeting all those years ago, I reached out to Yogev with a two word email. “Good times.” His response? “So many babys in one photo... While we're here, have yooooou met Eddy? https://t.co/cvMJdY53u0 - A studio for creating your own Teacher led voice based lessons with realtime gamified activities (Private beta, use my ref link to try it out) Eddy English (/any language) - Follow a structured english plan with Eddy” I was intrigued, so I suggested we catch up, and so we did. Today, I went to their HQ to talk branding and give them some ideas. I met the marketing team, some of whom I’ve known for a very long time. (NaomiAshkenazi/@rachelmbecker ) It was a very cool meeting and the discussion was great, but nothing compared to the moment I saw Eddy in action. Ya know, there have been certain events, certain, let’s call them milestones, things that happened to me in my career that stood out. There were moments of trying some new tech and realizing immediately that I just experienced something remarkable, something futuristic. The first time I tried Uber? Blew my mind. Today we take it for granted but standing there on that freezing San Francisco night, firing up my phone, pressing a button and watching a black car instantly pull up absolutely blew my mind. Getting to sit in a fully autonomous car for the first time? I mean fully autonomous? It was truly insane. The first time I flew a drone? Wow. When Yogev showed me Eddy, I had that same feeling. If you think about it, almost all of the areas of our lives have been changed fundamentally due to tech and specifically AI. Communication. Transportation. Hospitality. Insurance. Medicine. However, the area that is perhaps the most important, education, is still stuck where it’s been forever. Sure, kids now use iPads, and ChatGPT has changed the way kids learn, but those are just new tools that replaced the old tools. Those aren’t fundamental transformations for the education world. Eddy is a total paradigm shift. While teachers and schools are becoming increasingly scared of AI, TinyTap is saying “If you can’t beat them, join them.” AI isn’t going anywhere and the sooner we realize that and embrace it, the better off the next generation will be. Eddy isn’t just another ChatGPT competitor. It is a total fundamental shift, a transformation of how education is done in 2025. They call it a private teacher/tutor with gamification tailored for each student. I don’t think that does it justice. Yogev fired this thing up, chose a random topic, in this case, he chose my Meta smart glasses, and instantly, I mean literally instantly, Eddy spit out a complete curriculum about my glasses. Text, images, charts, tables, lists, and literally everything a student would need to learn about my glasses. I was speechless. Not only does it create a curriculum in real time, you can also have a full blown conversation with Eddy and ask it anything and you’ll get an immediate answer. I compare it to Uber or an autonomous car because words just don’t do it justice. The experience is just magical. It truly is. I told them today that from a branding perspective, they should take total ownership of the intersection of education and AI. It’s super early days and like I said, most educators are scared of AI the same way they were once scared of the internet, or social media, or the mobile phone, and the list goes on. The thing is, like the internet and like social media and like the mobile phone, AI is here to stay so they better come around. People are afraid of artificial intelligence replacing humans, but the reality is that AI will not replace humans. What WILL happen is that human beings who use AI will replace human beings who don’t. Anyway, I left the meeting with endless thoughts about how this thing can change our world. For example, we all know that one of Israel’s biggest challenges in this war is the fact that Gazans are so deeply indoctrinated because of the education they received. So when we win this war, how do we address the next generation being just as indoctrinated? Imagine Gazan kids using Eddy to receive an education minus the brainwashing. I know it’s a long shot, but this product is done so well, I’m actually pretty sure it can attract students to learn themselves about any topic. Can you imagine what that would do?? Eddy isn’t meant to replace schools or tutors. It complements them. Anyway, I’m a few hours after the meeting and my brain doesn’t stop racing thinking about all the potential of this thing. In case you are wondering what magic is happening in the background, this isn’t just a fancy wrapping of ChatGPT. This is AI on steroids. A whole lot of steroids. Eddy connects to many different LLM (language learning models) to ensure that the answers are supplied instantly and accurately. There is also tons of tech sorcery happening behind the scenes, things I can’t explain because I don’t understand it. All I know is that it blew my mind. Like I said, a total paradigm shift in education. If you have a tutoring company, a private school, or anything else where education is needed, I’d strongly recommend you get in touch because I can pretty much guarantee that in the coming years, Eddy will become as ubiquitous in the classroom as chalk boards once were. I love how I met these guys when they were just getting started, watched them raise money from some of the best investors I know, read about them getting acquired, and now, all these years later, meeting them again as a big company building the future of education. It’s been fun to come along on this journey.

Being young in crypto is a feature, not a bug. Crypto (and financial markets in general), reward risk taking, especially as the fiat situation spirals out of control. You need to be fast, constantly adapt, and have the confidence to size up when the stars align. Many experienced investors are being forced to throw their knowledge out the window and adopt a new framework due to this new paradigm. It's easier to build one if you don't have preconceptions/beliefs. (Not saying experience isn't valuable btw - it is in many ways, but young investors also have their strengths - especially in this industry, and heading into a VERY different world with AI).

RT @sassal0x: Bear with me, long ETH bullpost incoming: I think we're finally going to see the effects of The Merge + EIP-1559/burn overall issuance reduction going forward (which was a 90%+ reduction in newly issued ETH). What was missing over the last couple of years was the demand piece - unfortunately after EIP-1559 and during The Merge, it was a bear market and then ETH didn't capture the meta (memecoins) or any of the new macro buyers (they went to BTC). Now, ETH *is* capturing the macro buyers in a really big way mainly via the ETFs and the treasury companies (and we've only just begun here) + Ethereum has firmly captured the meta of stablecoins/tokenization and companies building their own chains as L2's. All of this puts a massive bid on ETH that we haven't seen under a paradigm where ETH has an extremely limited supply. The ETH ETFs over the last 9 days have eaten all of the net issued ETH (inc. the burn) since The Merge. And that's just the ETFs - I'm not even including the treasury companies here! Now on top of all this net new demand, we can throw in an increasing ETH burn as we scale the L1+L2's and onchain activity goes up which will just further reduce the available ETH for all of these entities to buy. I don't think I've ever been this bullish on ETH - the stars have never been this aligned for it and all of this is extremely reflexive to the upside.

Conclusion: Kaspa’s Role in the Monetary Evolution Kaspa’s emergence can be viewed as part of a broader historical trajectory – a push toward a more open, efficient, and trust-minimized financial system. If the 20th century was defined by centralized fiat institutions and the early 21st by the first experiments in decentralized money (like Bitcoin), Kaspa and its blockDAG technology signify the maturation of that experiment. It marries the core principles of sound money and decentralization with cutting-edge scalability, effectively addressing the critiques that earlier cryptocurrencies couldn’t scale for global use. In doing so, Kaspa is not just challenging legacy financial infrastructure at the margins; it is proposing a structural displacement of that infrastructure. It says, in effect: Here is a network that can do what your entire banking system does – global transaction settlement and store of value – but faster, cheaper, and without the need to trust any central operator. The audacity of that claim is backed by solid engineering and economic design, which this analysis has detailed. Will Kaspa fulfill this vision? The forces at play suggest that the status quo in finance is unlikely to remain static. Trust in legacy institutions is fraying – whether due to inflation, inequality, or geopolitical misuse of financial power – at the same time that technology is offering credible alternatives. Just as information networks (the internet) displaced many legacy communication gatekeepers, value networks like Kaspa have the potential to disintermediate and revolutionize how money and payments function. Kaspa’s rapid adoption by miners and its growing community indicates a recognition of its technical strengths. The next hurdle is broader adoption in commerce and finance. By positioning itself as a complementary network (through ISO integration) rather than a purely rebel outsider, Kaspa increases its chances of assimilation into the mainstream fabric. Ultimately, the compelling insight is that Kaspa represents a convergence of ideals and practicality: it doesn’t ask society to compromise between decentralized integrity and financial utility. It offers both at once – a hard money with no masters, and a payment network that operates at the speed of modern business. In historical terms, such a combination may prove to be exactly what the future needs. As the world becomes ever more digital and interconnected, the monetary systems that thrive will be those that are fast, open, and resistant to arbitrariness. Kaspa’s design suggests it will be an inevitable winner in that landscape – a network poised to assume a historic role as the backbone of a new financial era, one where legacy inefficiencies and control structures give way to a more equitable and technologically superior paradigm. In short, if the arc of monetary history is bending towards decentralization and efficiency, Kaspa is the protocol at the tip of that spear, making the case that its rise is not just possible, but inevitable.
"Flipping Traditional Finance on its Head" - a guest 🪡🧵 by @BankQuote_DAG The Doctrinal Foundations of Legacy Finance: Traditional global finance rests on a decades-old doctrinal system built around centralized institutions and interbank networks. At its core are central banks, which monopolize monetary issuance and steer economies via interest rates and money supply. They anchor a fiat currency regime where national currencies are backed not by commodities but by government decree and trust in the issuer’s credibility. This system is inherently inflationary – most central banks openly target around 2% annual inflation, preprogramming perpetual loss of purchasing power into the currency. The result is a monetary design where expansion of money supply is a feature, not a bug, enabling governments to finance deficits by “printing” currency at the expense of dilution to savers. On the transactional level, the legacy model relies on networks like SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) and correspondent banking relationships to move money across borders. SWIFT, essentially a secure messaging protocol among 11,000+ financial institutions, coordinates payments but does not actually transfer funds; actual value moves through correspondent banks – chains of banks holding accounts with each other. Under this model, an international payment might hop through multiple correspondent banks, each taking fees and only operating during local business hours. This architecture made sense in a pre-digital era, but today it reveals stark inefficiencies: cross-border transfers can take multiple days and often only move when all intermediaries’ business hours overlap, meaning no weekends or holidays. Each link in the chain adds cost (SWIFT messaging fees, handling fees, forex spreads), making remittances needlessly expensive – often 5-7% of the amount – and unpredictable in arrival time. The doctrine underpinning this system also grants significant political control over finance. Because central banks and major private banks sit at the system’s core, governments can exercise outsized influence. For example, countries can be de-banked from the global system as a form of sanction: being expelled from SWIFT or having central bank reserve assets frozen effectively cuts a nation off from global commerce. Recent events underscored this reality – over $300 billion of one country’s foreign reserves were frozen by Western authorities in 2022, a move unprecedented in scale. Analysts warn that such actions, while punitive to the target state, undermine global trust in the incumbent system by politicizing what was supposed to be neutral infrastructure. In response, major economies outside U.S.-Europe influence have begun seeking alternative payment rails to reduce their vulnerability to politicized choke points. In short, the legacy financial order – for all its historical success – is increasingly seen as slow, costly, exclusive, and subject to central authority whim. These shortcomings set the stage for a fundamentally different approach. Inefficiencies, Control Vectors, and Inflationary Design Systemic inefficiencies plague traditional finance at every layer. The correspondent banking model introduces latency and opacity: a cross-border payment might involve 3+ intermediaries and up to 3 days of transit. During this time, funds are effectively in limbo. Moreover, the system lacks universal access – one must have a bank account to participate, which excludes over a billion adults globally. Even those with access face inconvenience: the network is segmented by country and currency, requiring costly currency conversions and offering limited transparency (though SWIFT’s recent gpi initiative has improved tracking somewhat). It is telling that despite living in the internet age, sending money internationally using legacy rails can feel like sending a physical parcel – slow and encumbered by tolls at each border. Cost structures are similarly outdated. Each bank in the chain levies fees; a typical wire might incur an outgoing fee (e.g. $30-50), a correspondent bank fee, and an incoming fee on the recipient side. For small transfers like remittances, these fixed fees become extortionate percentages. Additionally, forex spreads taken by banks or money transmitters mean the sender often gets a poor exchange rate. The World Bank has long noted that average remittance fees around the world remain in the high single digits percent – a friction that siphons many billions of dollars away from recipients (often in developing countries). Such frictional costsare essentially a tax on global economic activity, born out of antiquated infrastructure and oligopolistic intermediaries. Underpinning the slowness and cost is a fundamental architectural limitation: siloed ledgers that must reconcile with each other. Each bank maintains its own ledger; moving value means updating many ledgers in sequence, a process requiring coordination and trust at each step. Contrast this with the ideal of a single, unified ledger where all parties transact on the same network – the latter is precisely what blockchain technology offers. In the legacy system, the lack of a unified settlement network is compensated by layers of trust, legal agreements, and capital buffers at correspondent banks. These add reliability but also massive overhead. Political control vectors in the legacy system are a double-edged sword. On one hand, regulation and central oversight can combat crime and stabilize markets. On the other, it enables censorship and surveillance. A centralized network means a few keystrokes can freeze an account or block a transaction. Entire jurisdictions can be blacklisted. This concentration of power has led to situations where individuals or organizations are de-banked for falling out of favor with authorities, raising concerns about financial freedom. Geopolitically, the ability to weaponize the dollar and the SWIFT network – as seen in sanctions – has prompted calls for an apolitical value transfer system. The current setup effectively grants policy-makers veto power over transactions, something at odds with a global digital economy that demands neutrality and openness. Finally, the inflationary design of fiat currency erodes trust and value over time. Since the end of the gold standard in 1971, major currencies float freely, and virtually all are managed with the goal of modest inflation. While a low level of inflation is intended to encourage consumption and investment, decades of cumulative inflation have drastically reduced currencies’ purchasing power. More troubling is the frequent resort to large-scale money creation in crises. In the past few years this has reached extreme levels: the U.S. Federal Reserve, for example, expanded the money supply at an unprecedented pace in 2020-2021 – by some estimates, close to 80% of all U.S. dollars in existence were created within a 22-month window. This flood of liquidity – a deliberate policy response to economic emergency – pushed inflation to 40-year highs in 2022. Such episodes highlight how elastic and discretionary the fiat system is: when push comes to shove, central banks can and will debase currency to shore up the system, and ordinary holders of money pay the price via devaluation. The doctrine of managed inflation thus reveals itself as a wealth transfer from the public (savers) to the state and financial sector – effectively a stealth tax. While this may be accepted as a necessary evil in the current paradigm, it has driven interest in monetary alternatives that impose hard supply limits. The weaknesses of the legacy system – inefficiency, control, and inflation – create fertile ground for a radically different model to take root. Philosophical Design: Fair Launch and Sound Money Beyond raw performance, Kaspa distinguishes itself with a strong philosophical stance inherited from Bitcoin’s original ethos. The project had a fair launch in November 2021: there was no pre-mine, no initial coin offering (ICO), no early allocations or insiders’ pool. Every Kaspa coin in circulation was issued transparently as a mining reward that anyone could have competed for. This approach stands in contrast to many recent crypto projects (and certainly to a centrally issued fiat currency or a corporate digital currency) – it means from day one Kaspa was communitarian and permissionless. No founding team or venture fund holds a special slice of the supply; distribution started at zero and was earned through proof-of-work. This fair launch model reinforces decentralization: power is not skewed by a premine, and there is no core “issuer” entity at all, only the emergent network. It hews to what the community calls a Nakamoto-stylelaunch, honoring the precedent set by Bitcoin’s creator. Hand-in-hand with the fair launch comes Kaspa’s monetary policy, which is committed to hard-capped sound money principles. The maximum supply of KAS is approximately 28.7 billion coins. This cap is immutable in the code, analogous to Bitcoin’s 21 million limit – once reached, no more Kaspa can ever be minted. New issuance of KAS follows a deflationary emission schedule: block rewards decay smoothly each month, mathematically equivalent to halving once per year. In practical terms, inflation of the supply dropped quickly from its initial high rate and will approach zero within a few decades, never to exceed the 28.7B cap. Such a design places Kaspa squarely in the camp of “sound money” alongside Bitcoin – a stark divergence from fiat currencies that inflate indefinitely. There is no central authority that can decide to print more Kaspa; economic policy is fixed and transparent. The implications of a hard-capped, decentralized currency are profound when compared to fiat. Kaspa’s scarcity means that, in a growing economy or under increasing demand, the value of the currency tends to rise rather than continuously fall. It incentivizes saving in the currency (as one’s purchasing power is not systematically eroded). It also prevents the kind of stealth redistribution that fiat inflation causes. In fiat systems, those with early access to newly printed mo

RT @Lunar3capital: Project Spotlight: @massachain – The first decentralized cloud network rebuilding the internet from first principles Decentralization has become a meme. With slogans like "community-owned" and "open-source" stamped across landing pages. Yet centralized choke points control access, web services remain vulnerable to takedowns and most so-called decentralized platforms rely on a handful of nodes and opaque infrastructure. Enter Massa. The first Layer 1 designed as a decentralized cloud network where websites live entirely onchain, smart contracts execute autonomously and censorship is technically impossible. Here’s how Massa is redefining decentralization at the protocol layer ↓ ▫️ The End of Centralized Web Hosting Web3 apps still rely on centralized services for storage, hosting and domains. Massa replaces all of that with: → No reliance on IPFS pinning → No need for fallback servers → No exposure to front-end censorship or DNS hijacks The internet becomes something no one can quietly unplug. ▫️Autonomous Smart Contracts (ASCs) DeFi relies on bots and backend triggers to function. Massa’s Autonomous Smart Contracts (ASCs) shift the paradigm: • On-chain agents that don’t depend on Oracles or MEV-bidding actors • Code that executes itself based on time, price or logic with no external transaction • DeFi flows, DAO automation or even on-chain games that don’t rely on any off-chain component This is computation that continues, even when no one is watching. ▫️ Built for True Decentralization Most chains run on a few hundred validators. Massa launched with thousands of nodes and a target Nakamoto Coefficient over 1,000, making it one of the most decentralized L1s by design. → 100 MAS minimum stake lowers the barrier to entry → Low hardware requirements mean anyone can run a node → On-chain governance ensures protocol upgrades are decided by the community, not insiders It’s decentralization you can measure. ▫️Web3 for Builders Outside Cryptosphere Web3 has too often built for Web3. Massa uses TypeScript and WebAssembly to invite frontend and full-stack developers into an ecosystem that feels native to how they already work. → Ethereum developers can host frontends via Massa → With the Massa Name Service (MNS) replacing DNS, even URLs are decentralized → Web3 games, social platforms and static sites gain censorship resistance by default A new substrate where apps run without external dependencies. ▫️ Proof of Momentum Massa has been building since 2019, with mainnet live since Q4 2023: • ~$167K TVL with ~$106K 24h vol • ASCs and DeWeb already deployed • Live on Kabbal with an active creator campaign • ZNS Connect collaboration for cross-chain identity • MassaWallet updated for ecosystem-native token management And this is just the beginning. ▫️The Final Word Web3 started as a revolution. But somewhere along the way, it became a race to optimize UX on centralized rails. Massa returns to the roots with modern architecture designed to make decentralization scalable, accessible and permanent. It’s not just another Layer 1. It’s the first internet-native cloud built entirely onchain. And it’s already live.

Project Spotlight: @massachain – The first decentralized cloud network rebuilding the internet from first principles Decentralization has become a meme. With slogans like "community-owned" and "open-source" stamped across landing pages. Yet centralized choke points control access, web services remain vulnerable to takedowns and most so-called decentralized platforms rely on a handful of nodes and opaque infrastructure. Enter Massa. The first Layer 1 designed as a decentralized cloud network where websites live entirely onchain, smart contracts execute autonomously and censorship is technically impossible. Here’s how Massa is redefining decentralization at the protocol layer ↓ ▫️ The End of Centralized Web Hosting Web3 apps still rely on centralized services for storage, hosting and domains. Massa replaces all of that with: → No reliance on IPFS pinning → No need for fallback servers → No exposure to front-end censorship or DNS hijacks The internet becomes something no one can quietly unplug. ▫️Autonomous Smart Contracts (ASCs) DeFi relies on bots and backend triggers to function. Massa’s Autonomous Smart Contracts (ASCs) shift the paradigm: • On-chain agents that don’t depend on Oracles or MEV-bidding actors • Code that executes itself based on time, price or logic with no external transaction • DeFi flows, DAO automation or even on-chain games that don’t rely on any off-chain component This is computation that continues, even when no one is watching. ▫️ Built for True Decentralization Most chains run on a few hundred validators.

NEW IN PIRATE WIRES: Drone Wars (We’re Losing) how the u.s. fell dangerously behind china on drones — and what that means for the future of warfare Latest from @AshleyRindsberg Just a few weeks ago, Israel initiated its war against Iran by launching a drone attack to take out Iranian air defenses, carving out a corridor for the IAF’s F-35s to enter the battlefield to devastating effect, killing over a dozen senior commanders (including the military’s chief of staff) in the initial days of the war. Critically, the attack was deployed from an Israeli drone base developed and operating deep within Iranian territory – a first in military history. That same month, Ukraine launched Operation Spider Web, smuggling first person view (FPV) drones into Russian territory inside false roofs of portable containers. The drones, the kinds that hobbyists race on weekends, were remotely activated and used to attack Russian air force bases, badly damaging high-value Russian military planes, destroying some. Clearly, drone warfare is no longer in the realm of the theoretical. But over the past two decades, the gap between the US and China in virtually every aspect of drone warfare has widened to an alarming degree. It’s not just that China has launched into the stratosphere of drone development, but that the US is sinking further into a quagmire of inaction, underinvestment and complacency. What makes the situation dire is that the vulnerability is systemic — a failure matrix consisting of manufacturing incapacity, outdated laws and regulations, decades of underinvestment, a complacent military culture, and the extreme difficulty of defending against drones in even the best of circumstances. Even today, with the drone threat looming, the US has barely scratched the surface on solving any one of these challenges, let alone all of them. China’s current drone production capacity stands at around 500,000 units per month, with the ability to ramp up in time of war. US capacity is, at most, one-tenth of that. While tourists can order drone-delivered takeout to the Great Wall of China, in the US not even the world’s most powerful companies have been able to scale stratospheric regulatory hurdles. As a result, America’s drone industry is little more than a Chinese drone wrapper. The vast majority (read: all) of America’s 10,000-strong agricultural drone fleet are Chinese made. The drones operated by U.S. law enforcement, including 823 out of 879 drones registered to Texas police agencies, come from China. Even the trickle of drones produced in the US are, in many ways, Chinese: their core parts — form factor, electric motors, chips, gimbals, batteries, sensors, cameras — all, to varying degrees, bear the same stamp of dominance: Made in China. On drone defense, the situation is just as bad, and maybe worse. Over the past 15 years, China has built 3,000 aircraft shelters, including hundreds of hardened shelters, to protect their planes against drone attacks like the one suffered by Russia last month, when a number of its bombers were destroyed by drones smuggled into the country. The US, by comparison, has added just two hardened shelters and 41 soft shelters across the entire Indo-Pacific region outside South Korea. This is to say nothing of civilian drone defense, which isn’t just sub-par but non-existent. Consider what a few well-placed drone attacks could do to America’s brittle, overworked electrical grids. With coordinated attacks against sub-stations, entire regions could be shut down: hospitals, supermarkets, industrial centers, gas stations, police precincts, even military bases, would go dark. Imagine drone-borne mortar attacks against packed mega-stadiums, dirty bombs striking three or four strategic sites in tandem, and swarms of first-person view (FPV) units carrying out targeted assassinations on government officials. Now picture all these events unfolding together, the opening, chaos-inducing phase of a broader strategic attack. There were over 12,000 drone incursions (known technically as temporary flight restriction violations) — that we know of — at US events and venues last year, an 8 percent increase over 2023. US military bases saw 350 drone incursions — and, as Pirate Wires reported, China is buying up farmland surrounding bases at an alarming rate. In one case, a Chinese national was caught flying a camera-equipped drone over Vandenberg Air Force Base. The operator was charged, convicted, and deported to China. Military bases like Vandenberg are particularly vulnerable, not just because they lack the technology to defend against drones, but also because they’re often legally prevented from doing so. Only about half of US bases meet the criteria of “covered installations” which have the authority under Americ*****w to shoot down unmanned aircraft, which means 50 percent of military bases in the US are legally prohibited from shooting down drones. Nearly all law enforcement agencies are legally prohibited from shooting down drones without prior FAA approval. Earlier this year, the NYPD requested authorization to be able to shoot down or otherwise disable drones if they seem hostile, a request that has not since been granted. Only select federal agencies, including DHS and FBI, can take down drones, but only if the risk they pose meets a certain threshold, such as occurring at national security events, like major sports events, political rallies, or international conferences. “We’re vulnerable everywhere,” says I*****ffey, CEO and co-founder of San Francisco-based startup Theseus, which equips drones with non-GPS-based geolocation capabilities. “If you can get a boat close enough [to the US], these things will fly hundreds of kilometers. That would be very scary,” Laffey says. While America’s bicoastal oceans have traditionally been a buffer between it and its enemies, drones can exploit that strength as a vulnerability. Nation-states, cartels, and terror groups now have access to the kinds of drones that can be launched from a bordering territory, like Mexico, a difficult to defend border, or even within US territory. “Look at the US [military capabilities] against our adversaries,” says Jason Lu, founder and CEO of Flyby Robotics, a startup that makes drones equipped with advanced GPU compute, large payloads, and state of the art cameras. “We don’t have as many ships as the Chinese. We don’t have as many land forces as the Chinese. But we have superiority in our air force. What Operation Spider Web has shown is that really advanced planes are really powerful assets but when they’re on the ground they’re extremely vulnerable.” A significant part of the problem is that the American military is living in an outmoded paradigm. In this paradigm, aerial defense has been fully solved by technologies that can intercept incoming attacks at every level, from small rockets to ICBMs. But, where the US installations are concerned, these are weapons that get launched from dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of miles away. The interceptor systems were designed with these threats in mind. None of this applies to $500 drones that can fit into your hand luggage and are launched a few miles away from their targets. These drones have turned US territory into the new undefended hinterlands of aerial defense. And while US law enforcement would likely uncover workshops producing the explosives drones need to become weaponized, that’s not the case for a drone manufacturing factory located in Haiti, Mexico, or Cuba, locations that make transports to the US via a small fishing boat or cartel submarine a reality. “We spent a very long time and a lot of money over the past couple decades preparing to fight near-peer adversaries that have tanks, planes and ships,” says Michael Laframboise, co-founder and CEO of Aurelius, a San Francisco-based startup developing directed-energy solutions to face drone threats. “We now have massive divergence in what the optimized military technology is out there, where instead of large planes you’re fighting many distributed systems.” In many ways, says Laframboise, drones have developed so rapidly that they’ve outstripped defense technologies. The options for defense are few. Some, like directed energy (i.e. lasers) are still being developed. Others, like gun turrets, are expensive to build and install. The American drone crisis has its roots in two intertwined forces: US under-investment and Chinese over-investment. Over the past two decades, software, especially SaaS B2B, dominated venture investing in the US, leaving precious few resources for hardware developers. Where an innovative software startup could realistically reach $100 million in annual recurring revenue in a year, it’s not uncommon for hardware development to require millions of dollars and years of work just to build a workable prototype. Amplifying this effect, until very recently defense tech was considered by most of the VC world to be politically toxic, a vice industry akin to porn and gambling, much more risky and vastly less profitable. While the shift towards defense tech, spurred largely by the two companies that have shaped the landscape, Palantir and Anduril, seems now like a foregone conclusion, as recently as two years ago, defense was widely considered “un-investable,” says Laframboise. As a result, the drone industry that does exist in the US is not only embryonic by Chinese standards, but extremely vulnerable. The number of companies working in the space is astonishingly small, making it relatively easy for an adversary to kill off the entire ecosystem — in more than one sense of the word... ──────────────────── This is an article preview.

To better identify relative strength, I curated an ETF watchlist that offers exposure to companies poised to benefit from the AI-infused paradigm shift. The list is sorted by proximity to its 52W high and features broad market, sector-based, thematic, and income-generating ETFs. I tried to include a little something for everyone. ETFs are great tools for investors. The funds mitigate single-stock risk and allow investors to participate in a broader theme without having to pick winners. At times, we may feel underexposed to the next high flyer, but investing is about longevity. Read my latest in the tweet below 👇
As we get closer to 2029, the year Ray Kurzweil predicted for AGI, not many executives and researchers across Silicon Valley and beyond still claim that the pre-training scaling paradigm will get us there. During a recent interview, Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, outlined what he sees as the core challenges facing current AI systems. According to Hassabis, today's models lack "true out-of-the-box invention and thinking," distinguishing between solving existing mathematical problems and creating entirely new conjectures, such as the Riemann hypothesis. He also pointed to a critical consistency problem: even average users can easily identify flaws in systems that should theoretically surpass human capability. "There's a sort of capabilities gap, and there is a consistency gap before we get to what I would consider AGI," he said. François Chollet, Co-founder of ARC Prize, has identified what he believes are fundamental architectural limitations in current models. During his talk last month at AI Startup School, Chollet argued that deep learning models are "missing compositional generalization" and lack the ability to perform "on-the-fly recombination" of learned concepts. He noted that even after a 50,000x scale-up in model size, performance on fluid intelligence (the ability to understand something you’ve never seen before on the fly) tasks barely improved, moving from 0% to roughly 10% accuracy. According to Chollet, gradient descent requires "three to four orders of magnitude more data than what humans need" to distill simple abstractions. While current LLMs will undoubtedly drive significant economic and social transformation, their cognitive limitations highlight the need for fundamentally different approaches to achieve true AGI. Our Chief AGI Officer, Dr. Alexey Potapov, argues that "limitations of LLMs are now becoming generally clear, alongside their impressive strengths," but believes the solution lies in treating them as specialized components rather than central controllers. This approach aligns with our understanding of human cognition: the brain functions through several hundred distinct subnetworks, each performing specific functions while cooperating with others. Just as transformer networks don't closely correspond to any particular biological brain network, the path to AGI may require treating LLMs as one component among many, subordinate to executive-control systems and coupled with other networks operating on different principles. This multi-modular perspective and decades of careful study of human cognitive psychology inform our R&D on OpenCog Hyperon, which integrates deep neural networks like LLMs, evolutionary program learning, probabilistic programming and other methods into a common architecture to create a system that can, as our CEO, Dr. Ben Goertzel envisions, handle real-world complexity and "invent and create and build and communicate autonomously and creatively, based on its own values and inclinations."
What about IV in context of price? This is the strange part of the puzzle. The new paradigm, since 2025, is price up, vol down. That said, it's not unreasonable to think an ATH break could reignite demand for leverage and push vol up during price discovery. Price down, vol up is also plausible. An exhausted attempt at >110K would be a bearish bayesian update, and illiquidity could exacerbate dumps. (3/n)
