🤔 Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff once predicted Bitcoin would crash to $100 before hitting $100K. A decade later, he admits he was wrong, saying he was “too optimistic about sensible regulation in the US.”

Even geniuses get crypto wrong. Real growth is being able to admit it.

🧑‍💻 Tech that boosts productivity leads to higher wages. Brian Armstrong agrees with Marc Andreessen: sounds somewhat paradoxical, but it’s true. Technology plus free markets push humanity forward.

With AI and nuclear energy, we have the foundation for a new era of prosperity. We need to be builders. A strong tech base means stronger democracy, freedom, and future.

🔓 A reminder of your basic toolkit for Web3 security:

✦ Cold storage for the majority of your funds
✦ VPN, antivirus/malware checker
✦ Don’t click untrusted links or run untrusted software
✦ Be careful with unsolicited DMs
✦ Use a burner wallet with a small amount in it to connect to unverified contracts

That will keep you safe from most common scams and hacks, but always be vigilant.

🚗 Lamborghini? Porsche? Now Volkswagen too. The company is partnering with FOMO Pay to accept crypto payments for cars and services.

For many more people, buying a car with crypto is becoming possible. Definitely, some good news.

🍋 Kids are selling lemonade for Bitcoin, and donating 10% of sales to a children’s hospital. Makes me feel like the future is in good hands.

It’s a lesson in financial literacy, charity, and a glimpse of a world where crypto is part of everyday life. Parents’ job is to show that path.

🇨🇦 Authorities in Vancouver have proposed connecting miners’ equipment to heat the Kitsilano pool. Crypto mining generates huge amounts of heat that usually go to waste. This would keep the pool open even in winter and could bring up to $1 million a year to the city budget.

I guess when innovation meets practicality, the result is real benefits.

🇹🇭 Thailand is launching a program for tourists to swap Bitcoin and other crypto into local currency. It is now quite obvious that Asia is preparing for a new financial reality where crypto blends into daily life.

We read news like this every day, and it’s getting obvious: crypto is squeezing its way into daily life.

⏳ 'The master of longs' closed 66,749 ETH positions, turning $125K into $6.86M, a 55x return.

Patience and cold blood pay off. In crypto, it’s not the fastest who wins, but the one who can wait and press “sell” at the right moment.

👊 Have you ever wondered why 1inch, the earliest DEX aggregator, is called 1inch? It’s a reference to a 2003 martial arts film, Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior.

Tony Jaa, who plays the protagonist, has a signature move known as the “one-inch punch”, which is devastatingly effective due to its precision and power,

Six years on, it’s still here, with hundreds of billions in orders processed.

📲 Do you have crypto apps on your phone? If so, do you have a plan for what to do if your phone is lost or stolen?

Many phones allow you to hide apps in a secret or encrypted folder. At the very least, don’t have crypto apps on the home screen, and protect them with a pin number. (If you use a fingerprint, you can be physically forced to open them.)

The best way to protect your crypto is to start by making it look like you don’t have any.

💵 There’s an interesting new take on tokenized fiat, which is neither a CBDC nor stablecoins.

Organizations are building products that enable customers to lock funds in their bank account, and withdraw them as blockchain tokens. You unlock the cash in your account by depositing the fiat tokens back again.

This initially seems similar to stablecoins, but the bank, not a company (like Tether) has custody of the reserves – arguably making this approach much safer and more reliable.

💩 Someone launched a coin and spent seven hours buying it from… themselves. Waited for others to join, nobody did, then rage-sold it all.

I wonder what that was. A tragic little DeFi drama, or a noble act saving the world from one more shitcoin?

📸 Not long ago, you could trust the evidence of your eyes and ears. Not anymore. The old phrase “the camera never lies” doesn’t hold up.

AI changed that. As Bitcoin developer Jameson Lopp warns, “We’re living in an era of massive information asymmetry. LLMs can produce BS far faster than it can be verified.”

It will take time to adjust to a world where evidence that once convinced us can no longer be trusted. Until we can reliably verify the truth, stay cautious. Plenty of people will try to make you believe what isn’t real.

⛔️ ScamSniffer reports that expired Discord invites are being hijacked by scammers. Bots like Collab Land trick users into phishing signatures and steal assets.

Don’t trust old links, even if they look official. In Web3 there are no “forever” invites. Use a hardware wallet and regularly revoke approvals.

🏡 A small story with a big meaning. A guy sold part of his Bitcoin to renovate his house, and feels no regret. The point isn’t to leave life with a full wallet, but to live better here and now.

🤰 Chinese company Kaiwa Technology has announced a “pregnancy robot,” a humanoid with an artificial womb able to carry a child. Launch is planned for next year at around $14k. The news has triggered debate: some question the ethics, others see hope for those unable to become mothers.

Strange as it sounds, it could be a real alternative to surrogacy and a step toward a new chapter in human history.

🤖 It’s Monday, and you’re probably went back to work after a break. But this humanoid robot can work 24/7, without a break, thanks to its ability to change its own battery. It’s designed for non-stop work in factories.

That’s tough competition for mere humans. Especially if you’re already looking forward to next weekend…

🪙One solo miner just hit the jackpot: mined a block alone and pocketed $350K. Odds were 1 in 800 per day with his setup.

💨 Bitcoin mining can help the environment and stabilize the power grid. This is now well-established.

For example, UK wind farms were paid not to produce over a third of their planned output in the first half of 2025, as their electricity couldn't be used locally or moved where needed.

The costs of not generating power were charged to consumers.

So yeah, cracking wallets doesn’t mean you can crack the market.

🤦‍♂️ CZ called out CNBC for showing Justin Sun’s photo while talking about him, calling it “a lack of crypto knowledge.” Hard to argue.

For a major outlet, that’s a sign of disrespect to the industry and the people they cover.
