We are living in Feudalism 2.0, or techno-feudalism, where the lords are not monarchs in castles but CEOs in boardrooms, and the peasants are not bound to land but to platforms. Our labor isn’t farming wheat – it’s producing data, the new currency of the digital age, mined by algorithms with the efficiency of a 21st-century iron maiden. 🧠💰
I saw this really touching video on TikTok by Itssozer – his name is Samuel Weidenhofer – back in December. It featured Ed Bambas, a veteran who said he just couldn’t afford to retire. It went totally viral because when Itssozer told him how much money his GoFundMe had raised, Ed broke down crying! It was seriously heartwarming to watch.
According to the ever-so-clever analyst Crypto Koryo, while most L1s (Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Cardano, Polkadot-you know, the usual suspects) are drowning in a sea of red, Bitcoin Cash is sipping champagne on a yacht. 🥂 And get this: it’s done all this without even having an official X account! Who needs social media when you’re busy outperforming the big boys? 😏
Matthew Cagwin, the CFO with a title longer than a Bridgerton episode, spilled the tea at some fancy UBS conference. Apparently, Western Union sees stablecoins as the financial equivalent of a magic wand-poof! Instant transactions, no more hoarding cash like a dragon guarding its gold. 🐉💰
It’s tough for new characters to become popular late in a TV series, but it can work. The introduction of the ‘mother’ on How I Met Your Mother finally paid off after eight seasons of build-up. Other shows have also successfully introduced memorable characters near the end, like Todd Alquist in Breaking Bad and Boon in Justified.
Instead of chasing rainbows and moon shots, O’Leary’s got his eyes on the real puppeteers: the lawmakers and regulators. 🎭 He reckons Washington’s rulebook rewrite is turning the crypto world into a two-horse race, with Bitcoin and Ethereum galloping ahead while the rest of the stable gets left in the mud. 🐎💨
New research shows that smaller artificial intelligence models, enhanced with reasoning abilities, can match the performance of much larger systems in identifying critical risks to children.
Andy Austin decided to try living a week in Night City, but not as the player character, V. Instead, he wanted to experience the city as a typical resident – someone with a modest apartment and a normal job at a restaurant.
Critics, those ever-delightful buzzkills, claimed the platform’s “isolated risk” was about as isolated as a drunk at a wedding-meaning, not at all. Worse yet, whispers of rehypothecation (fancy word for “playing hot potato with collateral”) threatened to turn Solana into a financial domino rally. 💥
And what exactly is Dogecoin? Well, it’s a dog-themed cryptocurrency (obviously). More specifically, it’s the world’s first “dog coin” to be taken somewhat seriously. The logo? A Shiba Inu, that cute little Japanese dog breed who became an online meme sensation. (Because why wouldn’t you choose a meme-worthy dog to represent your multi-billion dollar cryptocurrency, right?)
