    I hate this tactic for promoting merch. I can't be the only one that's like fuckfuckfuck gotta get it now or it'll be gone. Plus isn't it convenient that suddenly you have issues with your Internet or PayPal at checkout and by the time you figure it out the item is gone.

    @Misterdpriley @DonalTDeLay It’s always the incredibly odd problems I’ll have with PayPal too. Like not being able to jump through enough hoops to prove who I am and access my own account. To each their own.

    @AndreaTaz4ever2 I’m sure the community here on twitter would be more than willing to chip in for your cat’s care if you setup paypal or a gofundme. Sorry to hear that your cat is having alot of health problems. I guess it is the way it is as they become older.

    1.⁠ ⁠Should Chinese open models be banned? 2.⁠ ⁠⁠Will Anthropic and OpenAI hit their targets in 2027? These are honestly the two biggest questions right now that we discuss in the only show you need to listen to every week with @jasonlk and @rodriscoll My notes below: 1. Why the 10x Price Cut of Chinese Open Models Is an Enterprise Security Trap Chinese open models like Kimi and Qwen are driving the search for cheaper intelligence. A 10x cost cut has pushed regulated enterprises to run more error-catching supervisor models, increasing token usage by 2.5x. But it also creates unprovable data export and leakage risks, leaving CIOs with a painful tradeoff between cost and security. 2. Why the Low-Cost, Open-Weight LLM Layer Is a Brutal Margin Trap for US Startups Massive valuations for Chinese open-weight models raise a hard question: is low-cost AI a good standalone business? US giants have left a vacuum for much cheaper intelligence, but much of the advantage comes from distillation, which faces legal hurdles in the US. That leaves providers exposed to brutal margin compression. 3. Why Turning Down a $6BN Acquisition Offer Is a Sucker Bet for Most Founders OpenRouter leaking sale talks at a $5 billion to $6 billion valuation is savvy as Ramp, Databricks, and others launch competing routing features. Private liquidity windows are rare, and exiting before a feature becomes commoditized is often optimal. Turning down life-changing cash only makes sense if a founder is certain they can build a 10x larger company. 4. Why Hypergrowth Inference Providers Must Vertically Integrate to Survive the CapEx Wars Fireworks hitting a $17.5 billion valuation shows the best AI investments are still in infrastructure. Massive developer demand has turned low-margin compute brokering into a strong business with mid-30s gross margins. To avoid commodification, hypergrowth inference providers must vertically integrate into their own data centers. 5. Why the Entire US Stock Market Is Held Hostage by the 2026 AI Growth Rate The tech ecosystem and hyperscaler CapEx trajectory depend on OpenAI and Anthropic’s growth rates into 2026. Frontier models face pricing pressure from cheap open-weight alternatives but remain trapped by real inference costs and massive training investments. If growth slows or forced price cuts erode margins, the market dislocation could be severe. 6. Why Stripe Swallowing PayPal Is a High-Stakes Bet on Legacy Tech Rationalization Stripe partnering with Advent to take PayPal private would show how attractive late-stage scale has become for capital deployment. While absorbing a legacy giant growing at 7% could slow Stripe’s standalone growth, it would instantly expand its processing footprint. The deal would mark a historic passing of the torch from legacy payments to the modern upstart.

    Now this makes a lot more sense. A few days ago we found a group of fiat tokens quietly sitting on Keeta mainnet. At the time they didn’t make a whole lot of sense. Today they do. Keeta just announced its partnership with LayerZero to bring tokenized commercial bank money to major blockchains. So what does that actually mean? Think of Keeta as the place where regulated bank deposits become tokenized digital dollars, euros, pounds, yen, etc. Those are the fiat tokens we found on-chain. They’re backed 1:1 by commercial bank deposits through Bivo and are built for institutions, not retail. LayerZero is the interoperability protocol that connects many of the largest blockchains together. It’s already used by companies and protocols like PayPal and Ondo. Instead of Keeta building connections to every blockchain individually, LayerZero lets those regulated assets move across Ethereum, Solana, Base, and many other chains through a single interoperability layer. Here’s an example. Imagine a business deposits $10 million with a participating bank. Keeta tokenizes that deposit into regulated digital dollars. Using LayerZero, those dollars can move to Ethereum for settlement, Solana for payments, Base for another application, and then be redeemed back into bank deposits when needed. The institution doesn’t have to care which blockchain the other side is using. That’s why this announcement is a big deal. The fiat assets we found on-chain now have a clear purpose. The GitHub updates we’ve been seeing suddenly make a lot more sense. And if institutions choose Keeta to issue and settle tokenized commercial bank money, LayerZero gives those assets access to one of the largest cross-chain ecosystems in crypto. That has the potential to bring significantly more institutional activity and value onto the Keeta network than if it operated in isolation. This is exactly why I spend so much time watching GitHub and on-chain activity. Sometimes the blockchain tells the story before the press release does. @KeetaNetwork $KTA @LayerZero_Core

    Take Maya. She isn’t a crypto trader. She’s a graphic designer who just wants to send money to a developer in Tokyo without paying a $35 wire fee. Last year, a friend told her to try using a fast financial network. So she did. But the second she tried to move her funds, the screen hit her with a pop-up: “Please convert your ERC-20 token to the native chain using a cross-chain bridge.” Maya stared at her phone. Bridge? ERC-what? She closed the app and used Paypal. That’s the silent killer of crypto. We built incredible financial highways, but we locked the doors with confusing jargon, manual token conversions, and terrifying multi-step bridges. If you have to explain network standards to someone just so they can trade a token, you’ve already lost them. This week, two massive things happened for Injective ($INJ) that fix this exact problem. First, @coinbase finished migrating INJ entirely to its native network. No bridging, no wrapped tokens, no accidental burnt funds. You buy it, you withdraw it straight to where it actually runs. Second, $INJ went live on @RobinhoodApp . Because Robinhood and Coinbase are where everyday people, the Mayas of the world actually hang out. Instead of forcing millions of retail investors to jump through technical hoops, the friction was simply erased. @injective brought high-speed financial tools directly to the apps people already use. The future of crypto adoption isn't about teaching non-technical people how the machinery works. It’s about making the machinery invisible. When moving money on-chain feels as effortless as sending an email, that’s when real adoption happens. We’re finally getting closer to that world.

    The structural problem: PayPal is a distribution company competing against infrastructure companies. Ripple has bank partnerships. Fidelity has institutional custody. Visa has merchant rails. Open USD has 140 partners sharing reserve revenue. PayPal has 400M consumer accounts. In stablecoins, that's not enough.
