♾️ ChatGPT5 is able to do new math, solving problems that don’t already have solutions. In other words, it’s not just searching the web for answers. It’s developing existing math.

Meanwhile, Elon claims that Grok 5 has a shot at being “true AGI,” or Artificial General Intelligence (human-level thinking). Take all of this with a grain of salt, of course! But AI is moving faster than most of us thought possible.

💰 A victim lost $19K after copying a fake address from CEX history. This trick is called address poisoning: attackers send a dust transfer from a lookalike wallet, it lands in history, and the user reuses it by mistake.

End result: funds gone. Always double-check addresses because one slip can be very expensive.

🏦 The US Department of Commerce added Tron to the list of blockchains for GDP data. Blockchain is definitely becoming part of state infrastructure.

From bans and skepticism to nationwide use, distributed ledgers are now working for governments.

💰 Total deposits into DeFi lending protocols are at an all-time high, with one measure saying it has just crossed the $100 billion mark. Price is not the same as value. It may be a tough cycle for alts, but DeFi is growing.

Despite the bearishness in some parts of the market, adoption is quietly growing. Pay attention to the signal, not the noise…

🍗 Don’t “skip leg day”. This goes for far more than weight training.

It is good to push beyond your comfort zone in any number of areas. This reminds you that you are capable of more, of growing, and it builds your confidence.

So look for hard things to do. A new topic to learn, a new job that really stretches you, a tough run, even a cold shower.

🖥 Vitalik Buterin puts the odds at 20% that quantum computers will break modern cryptography by 2030. Not everyone agrees.

Quantum tech is advancing, but so is post-quantum cryptography. The real story is the parallel push: while some are trying to crack today’s systems, others are building new ones that will resist quantum power.

This looks less like the end of crypto and more like the next chapter of its security.

💵 Tether announced the launch of USD₮ on the RGB protocol. A new solution for issuing and transacting digital assets on top of Bitcoin and Lightning. A bold move that ties Tether even deeper into the BTC ecosystem.

Sounds interesting, and it’s definitely a win for the industry.

😱 Another crazy profit strory. Over a year ago, a trader bought a dead-looking token for just $83. Today that wallet shows $120,000, with zero other trades in between.

Genius patience or pure luck? Truth is, stories like this are almost never repeated.

🪑 With AI, everybody will make their own software just like we all 3D print our own furniture.

AI lets anyone create software without being a developer. But just like a 3D printer won’t magically give you great furniture, AI alone won’t make great products. You still need design sense, iteration, and the skill to use the tools.

🏝 A Philippine senator proposes moving the state budget to blockchain. Transparency, open access, and no way to “adjust numbers later,” a direct hit on corruption.

Blockchain makes government spending clear to citizens and could change how public finance works altogether.

💰 Bitwise predicts: Bitcoin could hit nearly $3M by 2035. Their scenarios: base case $1.3M, bear case $88K, bull case $2.97M.

Too optimistic? Probably. But it feels like a competition now. Who's gonna throw out the wildest number? And yet, no one would complain if it came true.

🤟 James Wynn is still in the game. After a brutal round of liquidations, he’s down to just $5,952. Instead of taking a break, he throws it all on a $DOGE long, of course with 10x leverage.

Running out of money or not, the show goes on.

🤦‍♂️ What do you know about double flops? First, a trader bought a fake $YZY token and lost $710K. Then he went in again, this time for $740K on the real one… and is now down $423K, refusing to sell.

Lesson here is pretty simple: rushing and chasing hype in crypto almost always ends in pain.

🤑 Have you already seen that crypto bro who tried to impress a girl by flashing his $61M wallet? Double fail: showing off your assets to strangers is a massive security risk, and trying to win someone’s heart with money alone is a dead end.

In crypto, just like in relationships, what really matters is personal qualities.

🐳 Now, there's a scandal around Hyperliquid. A wallet allegedly linked to Justin Sun went long on XPL (Plasma) on Hyperliquid. Price shot up +200%, short traders got liquidated. The position was closed with a $16M profit. On other exchanges though no pump at all.

Everyone's mad: turns out a whale can “play” the price inside Hyperliquid, punish arbitrageurs, and wipe out traders while staying untouchable. Trust in the DEX has taken a serious hit.

🚫 Well said: sometimes the best trade is no trade. Sometimes the best strategy is patience. Losing interest in the market isn’t strange. It can be a pause or the calm before the storm.

Either way, a bit of quiet after recent turbulence is healthy.

⬆️ Starting with $1.02M, trader 0x044d made over $25M profit on Hyperliquid. Leveraged x20 longs and shorts, a level of skill only a few can pull off.

Most stories don’t end this well though. The market demands not just knowledge and strategy, but iron discipline.

🔭 Here are three stories you might have missed from the wider world of science and tech, the cool developments don’t all happen in the blockchain space :)

✦ An immunologist has claimed that if you can survive ten more years, you might gain an additional 50 years of life. Maybe more, thanks to new medical advances.

✦ Astronomers have identified the oldest known black hole, which was formed over 13.3 billion years ago, just 400 million years after the Big Bang.

✦ Engineers have created microscopic “neurobots” that can navigate through the body to deliver targeted cancer treatments or perform surgeries.

The line between science and magic keeps getting thinner.

🤥 Have you ever lied to get a job? It’s a huge problem, both within Web3 and more broadly. With AI, there’s a whole new category of misleading would-be employers.

More and more people are submitting material generated by AI for their application process, including code and written content. Unfortunately (or fortunately), it’s usually pretty clear when that happens. An interview will usually highlight who really knows what they’re doing.

🃏 It feels like we’re seeing more and more speculation, day trading, and general “degen” behavior (whether or not it involves crypto). And it looks like this is being driven by a jobs market that is getting tougher and tougher.

“Speculation society” or “casino culture” comes from the fear that hard work alone won’t get you ahead. Some chase the elusive 1,000x coin, others upskill and look for new opportunities, while a few keep stacking value slowly and methodically.

😴 Hardcore traders love to say that in crypto, sleep is a liability. Miss the pump or sleep through the crash. Sounds logical when the market is boiling and every click feels like destiny.

But let’s be real: nothing is more important than health. No token or chart will give back lost hours of life, missed time with loved ones, or your own strength.

🗳 Voting has started on Solana for SIMD-0326 Alpenglow, a proposal to cut block times from 12.8 seconds to 150 ms by upgrading the consensus protocol.

Consensus this quick pushes Solana into a new category, where blockchain stops lagging and starts feeling immediate.

🖼 NFTs are trending again, just in a different form. Pavel Durov shared that 18 Telegram gifts bought for $57 a few months ago were recently traded for a $350,000 Porsche.

The story proves a simple truth: people don’t care what they buy, as long as it’s hype and scarce. That cycle will keep coming back in new forms.

📩 Scammers are endlessly creative, and persistent. Sometimes, they use automated tools to send out vast numbers of low-quality scam attempts. It only takes a momentary lapse of vigilance for one to succeed.

Most people are pretty good at identifying scam emails these days. But what about files that are shared with you via Google Drive, or similar?

Sometimes, it just takes something a little out of the ordinary to trick you into opening a link. Be careful out there.

👾 Play Solana has confirmed: shipments of the PSG 1, the first gaming console with a built-in wallet, begin on October 6. It won’t transform the gaming industry overnight, but it’s a milestone. The device paves the way for new gameplay models, token integration, and broader blockchain gaming adoption.

Web3 games have enormous potential, and I'm excited to watch the pioneers at work.

🔗 Google has introduced Google Cloud Universal Ledger, its own blockchain infrastructure for payments.

✦ Fast, scalable, and low-fee system
✦ Direct integration with Google Cloud services
✦ Programmable for custom use cases and app deployment
✦ Extra security with KYC and Google’s in-house protection tools

The company is now recruiting participants for testing. Google frames it as the end of “outdated” payment rails, pushing for 24/7 instant transactions with a strong tilt toward Web3.

🚩 MEV attacks are so bad they’re hitting scaling. MEV means bots profit off users’ unconfirmed transactions. Base and Solana use private mempools to block front-running, but hunters spam with speculative transactions until one lands.

An estimated 40% of Solana traffic is MEV spam, and there’s no easy fix.
