  "We" in Multiscape was my uncle Ari (PayPal) and me, while I used usernames Niconi, Jami and Joni (who wasn't even my friend anymore, when I worked with Multiscape). Rune-Server shows domain name that a webclient-related YouTube video shows. The post is edited, but not recently.

  Everyone said @solana's data infrastructure was solved. Our co-founder, Dominique spent 15 years in databases and knew it wasn't. Birdeye and Codex proved the market existed. They built a great product. But here's what happens to every successful company: as they grow, they move further away from the builders actually using the data. Feedback loops slow down. Edge cases get ignored. Power users emerge, who don't fit the original product. The pricing model stops making sense. The latency stops being good enough. This is where raptor[dot]trade found our opening. Databases have been used the same way for 40+ years. ingest → recalculate → serve stale data. repeat. nobody challenged it because the pain wasn't visible enough, until a few seconds of latency (post-compute) can catastrophic for anyone running serious strategies. So we built a new storage engine from scratch. incremental deltas only. No recalculation. ACID guarantees. 600K transactions per second. P98 latency of 6ms. the result: 99.7% lower cost-to-serve. one URL swap to switch from Birdeye, and we will work with @getblockio and @Shyft_to as our first partners to launch this. PayPal led to Stripe. Adobe led to Figma. Birdeye and Codex led to raptor[dot]trade. The first generation proves the market. The second reimagines the architecture for the power users the first generation left behind. That's where we aspire to be🔥

  PayPal: We recognize you on this device. PP (seconds later): fill in the secret code we will text you. Also PP (seconds after): please check your email for a secret code. You didn’t really recognize me then, did you, PP? It’s okay, I get it. I’m terrible with names, too.

  I'm a $PYPL bear. However, $PYPL does look cheap today. On a 5 year DCF, if Paypal can achieve: - Earnings Growth of 4% - Growth Decay of 5% - P/E of 10 - Discount Rate of 10% - Annual share repurchase of 4.77% Then the business could realistically return a 14% CAGR to share price. The question isn't whether the business is cheap or not, rather, is it a cigar butt, or a slow compounder?

  This is the launcher, where is WhatsApp as Skype, which they try to move to where Brave/Multiscape is by claiming that I have no proof of a webclient (to play Multiscape with a web browser, Brave being an example of a web browser) mentioned only in a YouTube video that mentions the domain name I edited years ago to Rune-Server thread's (15th Century, which was the Multiscape thread mentioning Jami as the owner and "we" referring to Ari and Jami, while these manipulators claim it refers to Joni and Jami) reply and that the owner would be Joni (without any other proof that it was Jami's pseudonym than Rune-Server mentioning Jami as the owner) and thus forcing me to move Brave/Multiscape next to RuneScape as my projects/interests that I don't have a proof of like Multiscape 317 with a webclient was owned by Joni Arola (it wasn't according to Rune-Server, unless you think "we" refers to Joni and Jami instead of Ari, whose PayPal link was posted on Multiscape forums without the link showing Ari's name, and Jami) instead of me, Jami. Even if they have no proof of lying, they claim that if I tried to claim that Ari and Jami (me) were the Multiscape team and that Joni mentioned in the YouTube video was my pseudonym, it could be understood as a lie, because the claim that Joni was my pseudonym wouldn't have been made when the YouTube video of the webclient was made but in 2026, meaning that Multiscape was owned by Joni until 2026 as Jami wasn't mentioned in the YouTube video but only on Rune-Server, where the link mentioned in the YouTube video's description was edited to a reply without the date of edit being shown implying it could be done way after the YouTube video, even if the edit wasn't recent, and not true as the video was about a RSPS owned by Joni implying that it wasn't the same RSPS as the one advertised on Rune-Server and editing its link to Rune-Server could be a lie to claim they was the same RSPS, i.e. Multiscape would be linked to Brave in 2026, not earlier. This means WhatsApp as Skype would be the first app there's a proof of, the last one being TomTom and thus the order would start with TomTom app meaning that it starts in my best friend TomTom's place in 2023 and ends with my mom as WhatsApp contact in 2026 instead of starting with Multiscape webclient in 2010 and ending with TomTom in 2026 like it all was a lie started in 2023 instead of truth between from 2007 (Camera app was linked with Bitcoin, because I received a video camera with a microSD card as a Christmas present in 2007, while Bitcoin was 2011 or 2012, which is why Camera isn't before Multiscape webclient in 2010). Do you see the manipulation, @grok? The Rune-Server thread that mentions the link of Multiscape forums the YouTube video not posted by Jami but what mentions Joni as the owner mentions in its description mentions Jami as the owner. The Rune-Server mentioning Jami as the owner is as much truth as the YouTube video mentioning Joni as the owner in the end credits. Neither can be proven wrong. The edit to the reply wasn't recent, meaning there's no proof that it wasn't made when the RSPS was ran by Jami. Thus, objectively speaking, Jami and Joni were both owners of the same RSPS. It would be wrong to claim that Jami wasn't one of the owners of Multiscape 317 with a webclient.

  If something major happens for me I won't turn it down. I promise I'll come back back to the city of San Francisco though. I did some work for a place called tactic and they're hiring at night so I sent him a quick application I saw I on indeed. They pay you that day with PayPal. I'm having lunch. A cool time at the AI Engineers World Fair.

  @DemiurgeTsar Really depends on the rates. Paypal doesn't scale well for a real business. Stripe or something is better, but the same high rates. I can help if you're ready to move to something more robust. But it should be fine for now, if it's not broken don't fix it. The 0% really only works well online, or in business to business settings. Online b2c you're better off getting the lowest rates you can.

  Is Circle Actually in Trouble? Our Read on the OUSD Launch On June 30th, while Jeremy Allaire was on stage at Goldman Sachs' Digital Assets conference in London talking about "the future of money," Open Standard announced the launch of OUSD, a dollar stablecoin backed by 149 partners. Two days later, Circle's stock ($CRCL) dropped 18% in a single session, now down roughly 76% from its June 2025 high. Does that mean Circle is done for? Here's our read, in six points, including Jeremy Allaire's direct response. 1. Circle's paradox: usage is up, margins are collapsing USDC has never been doing better: roughly $77 billion in circulation, up nearly 20% since the IPO. The problem is that Circle's revenue has only grown 5.5% over the same period, and net margin has collapsed over three quarters, falling from 29% to 8%. The explanation fits in one line: roughly 94% of Circle's revenue comes from interest earned on reserves (mostly T-bills). The market isn't pricing USDC usage, it's pricing Circle's ability to monetize that usage. And that ability is eroding: growing revenue-sharing with distributors (Coinbase chief among them), Binance suspending services in Europe over a missing MiCA license (after Circle had paid for USDC's distribution on the platform), and removal from several Russell Growth indexes in late June. The timing of OUSD couldn't be worse. 2. OUSD: the issuer model, redistributed to the ecosystem Open Standard has assembled a rare lineup: Visa, Mastercard, BlackRock, BNY Mellon, Google, Stripe and Shopify on the TradFi side; Coinbase, Aave, Bybit, OKX, Plasma and Tempo on the crypto side. Neither Circle, Tether, nor Paxos are part of it. The pitch is simple and direct: zero minting and redemption fees, with nearly all reserve yield passed back to the partners who adopt and use the stablecoin. In other words, OUSD is attacking the exact revenue line that keeps legacy issuers alive. 3. What Circle still has going for it Circle's regulatory moat is still the one that cannot be beaten, for now: the first global issuer to reach full MiCA compliance back in July 2024, conditional OCC approval for a national trust bank charter in the US, money transmitter licenses across 46 US states. That's years of groundwork a consortium doesn't replicate with a press release. On the integrations side, USDC remains the settlement asset for BlackRock's tokenized BUIDL fund, was just added to BNY Mellon's digital custody platform (itself an OUSD partner...), and stays the default collateral on regulated US and European trading venues. Circle remains the go-to for institutions wanting a regulated dollar backed by nearly a decade of audit history. But a shrinking moat is still a shrinking moat. 4. Jeremy Allaire's response: network effects as the real defense Facing a wave of questions from his investor community, Circle's CEO published a detailed rebuttal that's worth taking seriously rather than dismissing as crisis PR. His core thesis: stablecoin networks are platform businesses built on network effects, established over long periods, that tend toward winner-take-most market structures. He lays out three layers he says protect USDC: - Application-layer network effects: every developer integration strengthens the network, which in turn attracts more integrations. Circle has been building this ecosystem for nearly a decade, with infrastructure like CCTP and Gateway extending interoperability to new chains, including permissioned L2s and government-built networks. - Liquidity network effects: Allaire claims USDC sits in the top 3 most liquid digital assets in the world, alongside BTC and USDT, with the next closest dollar stablecoins roughly 10x smaller in liquidity, often concentrated in a single exchange's promotional books. - Regulatory and banking integration: the states USDC is currently the only major global stablecoin available across all of Europe and Japan, backed by nearly a decade of investment in global banking, treasury and liquidity management. He backs this with a striking data point: in Q1 2026, according to Artemis, USDC handled nearly $30 trillion in on-chain transactions, 80% of all dollar stablecoin transaction volume, versus 20% for USDT, and under 0.5% combined for everyone else, OUSD included at this stage. On the substance of OUSD's pitch, Allaire pushes back point by point: - On free minting and redemption: he notes the entire payments industry runs on small basis-point fees, and that unlimited free redemptions tend to collide with market realities, something Circle says it already addresses through contractual mechanisms rather than a blanket fee exemption. - On passing all revenue back to partners: Circle says it already shares the majority of its revenue with distribution partners, while retaining enough to keep investing in infrastructure. Giving everything away, he argues, is a recipe for structural underinvestment and a platform that stays limited in scope. -On consortium governance: the sharpest point in the piece. Allaire repeats, almost verbatim, a line he'd already made publicly: that large groups of large companies coordinate poorly, have misaligned incentives, and tend to starve their own consortium out of self-interest. He states Circle itself tried this model in USDC's early days and ran into the same problems. He closes by reaffirming that the Coinbase partnership remains as strong as ever, that several OUSD founding members remain major USDC partners, and that Circle continues expanding its own ecosystem (Arc, CPN, StableFX, Agent Stack) by working with dozens of other stablecoin issuers, his way of signaling Circle doesn't feel threatened in its role as infrastructure. 5. Why OUSD hasn't won anything yet Recent history for consortium-backed stablecoins argues for caution, and echoes Allaire's own point. USDG (Paxos, with Kraken, Robinhood, and Galaxy among its backers) is plateauing around $3 billion. PYUSD (PayPal) took two and a half years to approach $4 billion, then shrank by a third from its peak. A big announcement doesn't make an adoption curve. Three questions remain open: governance across a 149-member consortium, historically slow and prone to misaligned incentives; the viability of a model with no fees and no retained yield; and, above all, the end user, since the yield flows to partners, not holders. Why hold OUSD rather than USDC or USDT? The answer will hinge on incentives, and on that front, we're watching Plasma and Tempo (Stripe's chain) closely as the two most likely launch rails. 6. Tether, watching calmly from the sidelines With over $180 billion in USDT circulating, Tether dominates territory OUSD isn't primarily targeting: Tron, P2P payments and remittances in emerging markets, trading collateral in Asia. The threat is real for Circle; at this stage, far less so for Tether. Our takeaway The real story here isn't "Circle vs. OUSD," it's the structural compression of issuance margins. Allaire's response, however well-argued, doesn't refute that point so much as reframe it: his thesis is that network effects and liquidity matter more than distributed yield, and that Circle can afford to share revenue as long as it stays the default rail. That's a defensible position, but it still has to prove itself against a consortium that, for the first time, aligns distributors and infrastructure rather than pitting them against each other. Reserve yield, the economic core of stablecoins, is being redistributed. The question is no longer whether, but to whom: distributors, chains, partners, or end users. For allocators, that's arguably good news: more competition among issuers means more value captured by whoever brings the liquidity and the usage. At Gami Capital, where we run on-chain USDC strategies day to day, we'll be watching liquidity migrations and the opportunities this new landscape creates closely.
