Aglio olio e peperoncino (@aglioglioliolio) reportedI still don't understand why @prismassets' price is so disconnected from their execution. After the last BTC drop, MC got hammered down to $50k ($440k ATH), and it's barely above $60k rn. Yet, the team hasn't stopped building, and is delivering everyday. They're creating the Amazon of RWAs, a single hub for tokenized stocks, arts, metals, commodities, treasuries and real estate. You can just open the website and buy some $TSLA, fractional Picasso art, a piece of a house in Cleveland, music royalties, and soon business tokenization. Am I missing something? $PRISM 0x20024e485c0b22b42855589700721b28320a7777

Manu Sisti (@Manu_Sisti) reportedTry selling AI eBooks with this strategy. You'll make at least $3,000 by the end of September 2026. NOTE: not for procrastinators, free mongers, or people who only collect information. Read this if you can truly take action. Here's what makes this different from every other online income idea you've seen: You're not building an audience. You're borrowing one. Amazon spent 30 years and billions of dollars building a marketplace with 310 million active buyers. You just need a product worthy of being in front of them. No followers. No personal brand. No permission. You're not writing a book. Claude writes it. Your job is to know what problem to solve and who to solve it for. That research... done correctly takes less than a week. The manuscript takes less than a few nights. The cover takes an afternoon. The whole thing costs less than a dinner out. You're not creating content. You're building an asset. A post from last Tuesday is irrelevant by this Tuesday. A book you publish today is still earning royalties on Amazon in 2029. Still being found by buyers who typed their problem into a search bar at midnight. Still paying you for work you did once. That's not a content strategy. That's an asset. Here's the timeline if you start this week: Week 1 to 2: research and validation. Week 3 to 4: book built and submitted. Week 6: first royalty. Month 3: second and third books live. Portfolio compounding. End of September: $3,000 a month. Possibly more. Definitely more if you follow the system instead of inventing your own. This isn't for everyone. The NOTE at the top wasn't decoration. The people who get to September with $3,000 a month are the ones who started this week. Not next Monday. Not when things calm down. This week. If you want the complete strategy, AI prompts, niche research framework, and the full workflow from blank page to first royalty... Like this post, follow me, and comment "AI". I'll DM you everything for free. You need to do all 3 to receive the DM.

Prasad Gurav (@ImPrasadGurav) reported@AmazonHelp @amazonIN @consumercourtin I just spoke with your customer support team, but my concern was denied without a proper resolution. The way the issue was handled over the call was also extremely unprofessional. I expect Amazon to review this call and address the issue.

Crypto Jargon (@Crypto_Jargon) reportedTHIS IS THE PART OF THE AI STORY NOBODY WANTS TO SAY OUT LOUD. 🚨 Nvidia is helping round up half a trillion dollars. Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman, KKR. All in, to fund the AI buildout. Here's the part that should stop you. The same handful of companies are on every side of the table. Nvidia sells the chips. OpenAI buys them. Microsoft and Google fund OpenAI and its rivals. Amazon and Broadcom sell the infrastructure underneath all of it. Then the profits, or the promise of profits, cycle back into more chip orders. Nobody outside this circle is really deciding where the money goes. The same six or seven names keep showing up as buyer, seller, and investor in the same deals. And the debt is climbing to match it. AI-linked bonds went from $2.4 billion in 2020 to $15.5 billion last year. That's not a rounding error. That's an industry quietly switching from selling a product to selling paper. Ask the obvious question. If the demand for AI is really as bottomless as everyone keeps saying, why does the ecosystem need half a trillion dollars raised just to keep expanding. Real demand pays for itself. This is an industry financing its own customers so the growth chart doesn't stall. Every bubble in history had insiders who saw the money moving in a circle and called it a flywheel until the day it wasn't.

Simrat (@simrat11exp) reportedGPUs are becoming a leveraged financial asset class. The ingredients are starting to look familiar to mortgage backed securities whose bubble burst in 2008. Old GPUs are not depreciating the way people expected. H100 rental rates have risen from ~$1.96/hr last November to ~$2.71 today, while even 2020-vintage A100s are being leased out to 2029. That makes compute look less like rapidly obsolete electronics and more like a durable, income-producing asset. This has making investors believe GPUs retain residual value, so they are financing the AI buildout. That matters because the AI buildout is getting too large to fund purely from hyperscaler cash flows. Oracle, Amazon, Meta, Google and Microsoft raised ~$108bn of investment-grade debt in 2025. Goldman expects that to rise to ~$250bn this year and ~$400bn in 2027, with another ~$1.3tn of financing potentially required between 2028–30. The whole investment grade bond market in US is ~$8tn today. So bond market investors cannot fund this as it becomes a concentration risk in few companies. This is creating the need for private capital to come in. The template looks like this. Apollo and Blackstone provided $35bn to finance Broadcom compute infrastructure. The GPUs sit inside an SPV, Anthropic leases them for five years, lenders receive the lease cash flows, and Broadcom provides residual-value support on the senior debt if the chips are worth less than expected at the end. Nvidia is moving in the same direction, offering residual-value support on some projects while partnering with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman and KKR around a potential $500bn AI infrastructure financing ecosystem. Lets say company XYZ wants to fund ~$1bn worth of AI infra but it does not have the money. An SPV created by these private players would source money from pension funds, insurers and private-credit investors. Then this company XYZ instead of buying the data centre, would signs, say, a seven-year contract: “We will pay $180 million annually for guaranteed access to this AI capacity.” XYZ has converted a huge upfront purchase into predictable annual operating payments, similar to an airline leasing aircraft instead of buying them. At end of 7 years, the investors would earn the interest payments and earn from residual value of GPUs. If this value is higher great, if this ends up being lower, the investors would lose money. You can see the reflexive loop forming: High GPU utilisation → high rental prices → strong residual values → GPUs become better collateral → cheaper/more abundant financing → more GPUs get built → more assets available to securitise and finance. This is where the MBS analogy becomes interesting. Mortgages solved a real problem: America needed housing capital and bank balance sheets were constrained. Securitisation unlocked enormous funding. GPU financing could solve the same problem for AI: hyperscalers and labs need trillions of dollars of compute, while traditional corporate balance sheets and credit markets have concentration limits. But easier financing can eventually change the problem from undersupply to oversupply. If investors begin underwriting GPUs on the assumption that: • utilisation stays near 100% • rental prices remain high • Nvidia chips remain fungible across customers • old generations retain meaningful value • Nvidia backstops protect residual values …then capital could become available on terms that encourage far more compute to be built than would otherwise be economic. For 5–10 years, that can look like a virtuous cycle. Then imagine AI compute supply finally catches demand, model efficiency improves, custom ASICs take workloads, or a new GPU generation materially lowers cost per token. Rental rates fall → used GPU prices fall → collateral values fall → lenders tighten → refinancing becomes difficult → leveraged owners sell assets → GPU prices fall further. The asset that everyone thought was “durable, fungible and financeable” suddenly isn’t worth what the debt was underwritten against. That is how the eventual AI bust could look like in future. Housing was real. Mortgages were real. Demand was real. The bubble came when the financing system helped create too much of the underlying asset. GPUs could eventually rhyme.

Bagwurk (@bagwurk__) reported@TrueGemHunter It’s not dying it’s evolving. Pretty soon you’ll buy Amazon orders using their stablecoin. Bitcoin might just slow its volatility until it becomes a stable itself. Memes will never die, but the majority of traders use perps. All of this only occurs if we solve the Quantum threat

Goatbeardz (@GoatBeardzDD) reportedPeople think Ryan Cohen has been doing a media tour. He hasn't. Every single interview has been filed with the SEC as a Form 425. That's not just PR. That's an official solicitation document targeting eBay's shareholders. And eBay's shareholder base is almost entirely institutional. So every time Cohen sat down on camera and said: "My circle of competence is e-commerce." "eBay is similar to Chewy." "Physical retail was learning on the job." "eBay is under earning." He was delivering a pitch to institutions, on the record, filed with the SEC. And the pitch is simple: I've proven twice that my marketplace model generates real margin without extraction. Chewy took Amazon's pet market share. $GME posted 17% operating margins on Power Packs. Both receipts are public. Now give me eBay and let me do it at scale.

Steve Stanton (@stevestantonsot) reportedThe left assumes rich people are all Scrooge McDuck, swimming in a money bin full of gold coins. Reality: Every dollar is spent on: 1. Consumption (food,.cars, construction) - which creates jobs 2. Investment - which creates jobs 3. Tax - Which is largely wasted and destroys jobs In no universe does shifting money from #2 to #3 make workers better off. Pull billions out of Tesla and SpaceX and Amazon and biotech startups... And do what? Fund Learing Centers? Pay for more migrant hotel rooms? Make more decamillionaires in Congress? Government should do a small number of things, and do them very well... And foster an environment where entrepreneurship and capitalism solve problems, create abundance, and offer limitless opportunities... While also providing cash and services for charity and a safety net. Kill the golden goose... And you get Venezuela's collapse.

Bev&Jake In Pittsburgh (@BeverlySimcic) reportedDO I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT WHAT I'M TELLING YOU IS ABSOLUTE TRUTH? NO I DON'T, BUT BASED ON MY KNOWLEDGE OF BEING ON THE NET SINCE 1990, HAVING SEVERAL BUSINESS VENTURES WITH PEOPLE WHO WERE CUTTING EDGE BACK THEN, AND TODAY ARE WORKING FOR ENTITIES LIKE GOOGLE,ETC., I CAN SAY THAT MY ABILITY TO SEARCH AND FIND AND INVESTIGATE IS PRETTY DAMN SOLID. I SHOP FROM MANY DIFFERENT SOURCES ON THE NET, AND YES, I'VE BEEN STUNG, AS MANY OF YOU HAVE TOO I'M SURE. HUBS GOT STUNG ONCE, HE'LL NEVER BUY FROM ANOTHER BLOWN UP HYPE AD FOR ANYTHING. I WILL SAY THIS WITHOUT ANY DOUBTS.... AMAZON IS THE SAFEST PLACE TO SHOP TODAY, THEY WILL BACK ANY FRAUD WITH ZEST AND VIGOR, I CAN ASSURE YOU THEY WILL. THEY'VE MAINTAINED A MAGNIFICENT REPUTATION THAT WAY. AND HAVING OWNED SEVERAL BUSINESSES SINCE 1980, I CAN TELL YOU THE DETERIORATION OF ETHICS IS RADICAL TODAY. I'M WITH 'MR. WONDERFUL' ON THAT ISSUE, AS HE DOES DO BUSINESS WITH KNOWN INTEGRITY. ONCE YOU DON'T, TODAY THE WORD SPREADS LIKE WILDFIRE. SO, IT IS BEST TO DO BIZ WITH INTEGRITY AND HONESTLY, EAT YOUR MISTAKES AND MOVE ON, AND BE GOOD TO YOUR CUSTOMERS, IT ALL PAYS OFF. MY PURPOSE FOR THIS POST RIGHT NOW IS A WARNING FOR ALL WHO DON'T KNOW THIS.......ESPECIALLY WOMEN, BECAUSE WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR GREAT CLOTHING! I DON'T WANT TO ACCUSE CHINA, BUT I WILL SAY THAT THEY HAVE A REPUTATION FOR THIS STUFF, AND IT'S NOW A SERIOUS SERIOUS THING. THEY ARE FAKING ADDRESSES FOR U.S. BOUTIQUES TO FOOL YOU INTO THINKING THEY HAVE A BOUTIQUE LOCATION HERE, AN TO GIVE YOU A FALSE FEELING OF BEING ABLE TO CONTACT THEM. BEST THING TO DO WITH THESE CUTE LITTLE BOUTIQUES POPPING UP ALL OVER IS GOOGLE THE ADDRESS AND SEE IF IT EXISTS. THEY ARE MAKING UP STORIES LIKE 'BACK IN THE SIXTIES MY FRIEND AND I ESTABLISHED OUR STORE'....IT'S SO BLATANT IT'S CRAZY. ONE I FOUND THIS MORNING SHOWS A BUILDING WITH A TREE BLOCKING THE NAME......YOU KNOW, I FEEL SORRY FOR THESE OPPRESSED PEOPLE WHO ARE PROBABLY STARVING THAT THEY HAVE TO DO THINGS LIKE THIS, I DO. BUT YOU MUST REALIZE THAT IT'S BECOME THEIR BRAND, AND LATELY NOBODY WANTS THEIR BRAND ANYMORE. THEIR BRAND HAS BECOME KNOWN AS FAKE AND FRAUD. I AM SO SORRY FOR THEM.

Audit The Herd (@AuditTheHerd) reportedI need to address this idea going around that Anthropic is now profitable and therefore all the AI hype is justified. That claim shows a complete misunderstanding of how money is actually moving in this industry. Look at the structure. Amazon finalized another 5 billion into Anthropic in April, which brings their total investment to 13 billion. In the same deal, Anthropic agreed to spend 100 billion on AWS compute on Trainium chips. AMD is investing up to 5 billion into Anthropic while simultaneously selling Anthropic tens of billions of dollars worth of AI servers. Google pledged up to 40 billion tied directly to compute access. This is not how normal profitability works. This is vendor financing. Burry is right on this but people automatically get defensive when it’s brought up. One company funds another so that company can afford to buy the first company's product. We have seen this exact playbook before in the telecom boom in the late 90s when equipment makers were lending money to customers just so those customers could buy more equipment. It created fake demand on paper until the loop broke. When your investor is also your biggest customer and your biggest expense, revenue stops being a signal of market demand. It becomes recycled capital. The loop guarantees revenue for everyone inside it for a while, but it blurs the line between real traction and engineered growth. Built In described it accurately when they said demand can appear stronger than it truly is because money is simply being recycled back and forth. That is why hyping this as profitability is dangerous. First, it distorts reality for everyone outside the loop. Retail investors, employees, even enterprise customers start believing there is massive organic demand for AI compute when a huge portion of it is contractually obligated spending funded by the supplier itself. Second, it concentrates systemic risk. The IMF has already warned that these circular deals could pose a systemic risk. This is not two companies doing a deal. It is a closed network. Microsoft funds OpenAI, OpenAI spends it on Azure and Oracle data centers, Oracle buys Nvidia chips, Nvidia invests back into OpenAI and Anthropic. If one node slows down, if there is a chip delay or a data center buildout gets paused or a model does not monetize fast enough, the stress cascades through the entire network because everyone is holding debt tied to everyone else's success. True profitability has a very simple test. A stranger with no financial interest in you pays you more than it costs you to serve them, consistently. You do not pass that test if you had to raise 13 billion from Amazon to sign a 100 billion purchase order back to Amazon. Claude is a great product. Anthropic is building serious technology. I am not arguing that. I am arguing that calling this financial structure profitability is how you inflate a trillion dollar bubble. It is how you convince people the economics are solved when you have only solved the financing. We will not pop because AI is useless. We will pop because we lied to ourselves about how the bills were being paid.

Keith Kaplan (@KeithTradeSmith) reportedUp 190% since it was first highlighted back in April. Dell Technologies $DELL climbed 3.3% to a fresh all-time high, and this is not the 1990s desktop maker your parents remember. Dell is now an AI infrastructure leader, building the servers and storage systems that power AI data centers. It calls this unit its "AI Factory." In May, management reported a record quarter driven by soaring AI demand. It expects AI-optimized server revenue to grow roughly 144% this fiscal year, with total revenue growth approaching 50%. The backdrop is staggering. Big tech, including Alphabet $GOOG, Amazon $AMZN, and Microsoft $MSFT, has already poured over $1 trillion into AI infrastructure. They are on pace to spend more than $700 billion this year alone, and over $3 trillion in the years after that. It is the largest collective investment effort in history. That spending has to land somewhere, and Dell is one of the companies catching it. Dell's new high is a healthy signal for the entire AI infrastructure trade, from semiconductors and optical networking to neoclouds and memory makers. These stocks sold off hard recently, but they have since recovered and pushed to new ground. If big tech is committing over $3 trillion to AI buildouts, who ends up owning the hardware they need?
