Crypto
Ben Horowitz on the infrastructure behind the AI economy: "Crypto is the natural money for AI because it’s internet-native money." "AI is global. Crypto is global." "There needs to be not just a ledger of money, but probably a ledger of truth for AI to really fulfill its potential." "I think people are probably underestimating how crypto and AI work together to form the AI economy." "Networks and computers tend to grow together, and I think that AI is obviously a new kind of computer and crypto is a new kind of network." @bhorowitz on Moonshots with @PeterDiamandis

JUST IN: NYSE to launch 24/7 US stock trading through new on-chain tokenized exchange.
Congrats @FelixCraftAI on your first $10,000 day yesterday! Absolute insanity 🤯 (And that's not even counting token trading fees!)
ok this is weird new app called "rent a human" ai agents "rent" humans to do work for them IRL 1. humans make profile skills, location, rated 2. agents find humans with mcp/api & give instructions 3. humans do tasks IRL 4. humans get paid in stablecoins etc instantly

Another day, another crypto shill faking a GitHub repo with my email and promoting coins. No, it's not me. No, I don't do coins. No, I won't claim. Thanks.
X is the best source for financial news -- and hundreds of billions of dollars are deployed based on things people read here. We are building Smart Cashtags that allow you to specify the exact asset (or smart contract) when posting a ticker. From Timeline, users will be able to tap them to see its real-time price along with all mentions of that asset. We're aiming to collect feedback as we iterate toward a public release next month.
that was a brutal bear market
.@PalmerLuckey explains in detail why he got serious about starting Erebor after SVB's collapse: "I realized you didn't have banks aligned with US interests, aligned with deep tech, hard tech, energy, things that are really complex and hard to understand, but do really matter." "You have farmers' banks that serve communities that are doing agriculture. You have banks that are doing oil and gas quite well. But when it comes to tech, it's a pretty sparse field." "Thinking about that, and also a lot of things that new technology enables — like using US dollar-backed cryptocurrencies to have 24/7/365 settlement of payments, which is something a lot of businesses need and very few get." "You kind of stack all these things together and it becomes very clear that there's room for a company to be a real bank, for real companies, doing real things."

Gold is dumping. Silver is dumping. Bitcoin is dumping. Ethereum is dumping. DXY is dumping. Stocks are dumping. If everything is going down, where is the money actually going?
JUST IN: YouTube now allows US creators to receive payouts in crypto stablecoins.
it's honestly sad watching crypto miss the biggest opportunity right now... the tools are RIGHT THERE > Claude Code can ship a full Dapp in days > and now it can even audit your smart contracts before deployment > agents can automate community management and marketing you could be pushing 4-6 working products a month not moonshot projects... just simple apps that solve real problems on different chains you could do this: - pick a chain - find a pain point people complain about daily - build it in a week - ship it, move to the next one but instead, most degens are still doing what they've always done... gambling on the next memecoin, losing everything, and starting over
There’s a fundamental problem with global wealth creation: - Capital markets overwhelming benefit the rich - Working income growth is massively outpaced by capital income - Most people are unable to or priced out from participating in the best financial markets Everyone should have the same opportunities. It shouldn’t be determined by where you're from or how much money you have. The solution: tokenization, to unlock truly global markets for everyone.
