now that the leo tokenomics have changed i don't think burning is required.
As no new tokens are minted.
Thats my thought
Also its not worth as i am the only one contrbuting to this cause.
I need contributors who are ready to share their author rewards and then we can burn LEO too (if everyone agrees too)

Depending on centralized custody in the crypto space defeats the purpose. Self-custody should be the standard since it genuinely guarantees true ownership. Without control of the keys, the coins aren't really yours.
The new tokenomics has the main LEO token on Arbitrum. There are also on bsc and polygon (as far as I remember - bLEO and pLEO).
Staked LEO on arbitrum will start yield rewards in about 84 days, paid is ARB.USDC. LEO on Hive Engine (heLEO) will also still be a thing and is used as it is now, giving value to your vote (very basic).
The InLeo platform will not move to another chain (at least that's not the planet yet).

I didnāt have money to pay the bills at all. Not until the last minute. When I needed the money it didnāt come so I had to borrow some. But then after I paid the bills I got all the money I needed. The timing was off
Yes indeed. 1 thing life has showed me time and time again is that (bad) debt of any kind drastically reduces your ability to attract money, on a spiritual level. Itās like clogging the pipes
Functionality is the same. The more you have staked on HE, the more you get for curating content.
It all depends on your preference, but I would say keep all LEO staked on HE for about 50 days (53 maybe) and then unstake it all if you want them staked on Arbitrum for rewards paid in usdc š

$BTC is back to 107k again. It's good to see, but it didn't bring positive momentum for altcoins. In fact, I am afraid BTC is going to show us another blood bath in the market. Now I am thinking to secure profit and keep some USDT/stablecoins for such kind of situation. There is nothing wrong with staying alert.
When someone is expected to take initiative and shoulder the greater burden, it demonstrates their readiness to lead by accepting the risk of failure, rather than simply imposing power based on ego.
Granting authority without corresponding accountability creates vulnerability and insincerity, as those with unmerited power may undermine decisions or evade responsibility by not facing the full consequences.
Genuine authority comes with real costsāif a mistake is made, the primary decision maker should bear the brunt of the repercussions. When costs do not align with choices, the legitimacy of that authority is compromised.
This principle holds true across all areas of social interactionāfrom casual gatherings to institutional frameworks and personal relationships. Those who set the terms must be willing to sacrifice in order to uphold them.
True fairness in any hierarchy is not about everyone having an equal voice, but rather that those willing to take the greatest risks also shoulder the greatest consequences when things go wrong.

It's a collection to return to every year or twoāeach return a chance to reflect on how personal experiences align with its timeless lessons. The next step is determining how best to curate and organize this select group of works.
Although it's definitely not my day job, I agree it's best to curate ourselves. A while back, I looked into delegation options for $LEO. My conclusion was I could best do it myself to achieve the highest apr's and have the freedom who I upvote / not.
With separate accounts I can make completely different patterns in curation, voting, staking, trading.
Many tribes, communities have different rules, opportunities.
It is very ineffective to curate with all owned tokens with just one account, one pattern.
I don't like to waste my staked token powers in places or ways, which are not best for that particular token.
I want my every move to be aimed for the MAXIMUM results.
I am a hardcore MAXIMALIST. š
That's a lot to manage :o
Was just wondering as both @onealfa and @onealfa.leo have a huge amount of $LEO staked.
I get it for all the other tribe tokens, just not for your two 'main accounts'
Aghh, got you point.
In the past, there were some bad punishments for any even smallest power-down ( in leoads and leo.voter tiers) So I decided to use bigger amount on onealfa.leo, which would never-ever powering down whatsoever, and main acct onealfa for a current, daily earnings, which could be unstaking, if needed, in case some liquid tokens demand happens.
It started with zero LEO in January-2024, and in ~17 months it grew from ZERO to 1 MLN LEO.

Bitcoin serves as a means of preserving wealth. Although many currently view it as a speculative asset, Bitcoin actually mitigates risks inherent in traditional financial frameworks.
It stands apart as the only truly decentralized digital asset. While its value in US dollars may fluctuate dramatically for an extended periodāor possibly indefinitelyā1 BTC will always remain equivalent to 1 BTC.
Today, only about 1% of the global population holds Bitcoin. However, in the months and years ahead, its ownership will broaden. The present holders may eventually need an incentive to divest.
Historically, entities with deep financial resources have capitalized on fear. It's important to note that most current Bitcoin owners lack a thorough understanding of its fundamentals; they pursue it primarily for potential US dollar gains.
With their vast purchasing power, institutional players can drive Bitcoin's price upward, compelling less knowledgeable holders to sell, while dollar valuations become increasingly unreliable due to limitless printing.
For many, Bitcoin's value far exceeds its current US dollar priceāit's a symbol of financial freedom, a way to secure wealth without dependence on banks or governments.
While the US dollar valuation of Bitcoin might waver, if fiat cash is needed to cover daily expenses, selling a portion of Bitcoin is a viable option; conversely, extra fiat often goes toward acquiring more Bitcoin.
Generally, individuals who are progressing in their careers or businesses tend to accumulate Bitcoin, gradually reducing its circulating supply as value creation continues.
Hence, Bitcoin should primarily be regarded as a long-term store of value. Relying on frequent buying and selling based solely on its US dollar price could lead to substantial losses.
Avoid spending excess on advice. Numerous advisors may charge a fee of 1% or more, while self-investing and utilizing online resources offers a cost-effective alternative.

A preference emerges for "context engineering" rather than "prompt engineering." Prompts are often seen as brief task instructions used in everyday interactions with language models.
In contrast, every robust language model application relies on the subtle art and science of optimizing the context window with precisely the right information for the subsequent step.
Itās a science because success depends on crafting detailed task descriptions and explanations, integrating few-shot examples, retrieval-augmented generation, related (potentially multimodal) data, tools, state management, history, and
compacting. Striking the right balance is crucialāinsufficient or improperly formatted context can hinder performance, while overly abundant or irrelevant details can inflate costs and diminish efficiency.
Beyond context engineering, a language model application must also:
ā¢ Decompose problems into carefully designed control flows.
ā¢ Optimize context window content.

āI hate the idea of having a Tesla-Kraken token and a Tesla-Robinhood token,ā he said. āInstead of actually moving forward and creating a better financial system, weāre splitting [up] liquidity.ā
Robinhoodās initiative highlights stark differences between major crypto trading platforms as they use tokenization to break from traditional methods of record keeping and create more efficient systems for investors.
In developing its own Ethereum-compatible network, based on Arbitrumās design, Kerbrat said that Robinhood is trying to cast as large a net as possible, as it looks to expand on tokenized assets and connect with other entities within the cryptosphere.
āWeāre launching [tokenized stocks and ETFs] first in the EU, but in the future, [we] want to open it up as soon as we get clarity on regulations,ā he said. āWe want the maximum participation there. We want to be compatible with other players.ā
So, this leaves us with a few questions. What were the Big Beautiful Billās positions on AI? Why did the Senate overwhelmingly reject them? Can we expect the AI token market to continue showing reduced trade volumes and market capitalization?
The billās plan, essentially, was to impose a 10-year moratorium on AI regulation for all US states. This may have taken the form of an outright ban or a more roundabout method.
It would have proposed a $500 million fund on AI infrastructure development, but only states with zero AI regulations could access this money. Google and OpenAI supported this plan.
Such a vision wouldāve created a lot of problems, and pro-crypto Senators even turned on it. If the bill banned AI regulation for 10 years, states would be powerless to prevent future AI-related crimes.
But crypto exchanges Kraken and Bybit have rolled out tokenized stock trading through Backed Financeās xStocks. The assets, which trade on Solana, underscore how companies are leveraging competing networks and standards in trying to give the financial system a facelift.
As Kraken pushes forward with tokenized stock trading on Solana, Kerbrat noted that Ink, an Ethereum layer-2 network released by Kraken last year, has gone untapped.
āItās interesting to see that they decided to not use that chain,ā he said. āSome companies are about launching as many things as possible to get as many headlines as possible. On our side, we actually want people to use a product.ā
A Kraken spokesperson told Decrypt that it joined the xStocks Alliance, a group of exchanges, networks, and decentralized finance protocols setting standards for on-chain assets, to avoid fragmenting liquidity across multiple token standards and chains.
Obvious offenses include fraud or copyright infringement, but people might even use AI tools to simulate depictions of child abuse, as some Senators warned. This possibility caused prominent Republicans like Marsha Blackburn to disavow the effort.
Unfortunately, itās difficult to say how the bill will impact the AI token market in the long term. So far, the Big Beautiful Bill has been very unpredictable already.
For example, Elon Muskās opposition to the bill caused several Musk-related meme coins to flourish, but Dogecoin fell by over 5%. This chaos could create new opportunities, but itās uncertain where theyāll appear.
Additionally, the AI token sector was already in a slump before the bill passed. These 5% drops are concerning, but AI asset trade volumes fell over 38% in the last 30 days.
āWeāre working to make xStocks the global standard for tokenized equities,ā the spokesperson said. āThis isnāt about promoting any single brandāitās about unlocking access and shifting power back to the people.ā
Solana was a natural place to launch xStocks to āaccelerate mass adoption,ā but Kraken is already working with a ābroad network of partnersā to expand xStocks to additional blockchains, the spokesperson said. Ink is a key part of the companyās roadmap, they added.
As Kraken leans into xStocks, Robinhood is preparing to debut its own Ethereum layer-2 scaling network, with the intent of appealing to as many developers as possible, too.

In Cannes, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev said during an event on Monday that the firm is working with regulators to ābring the entire Robinhood ecosystem on-chain,ā eventually leveraging its own blockchain for trading and settlement and supporting financial applications.
During a fireside with Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and Offchain Labs CSO A.J. Warner, Kerbrat later highlighted Arbitrum Stylus. As an engineer, he noted how difficult it can be to find āgreat engineersā that are adept in Ethereumās programming language.
Arbitrum Stylus, which debuted in September, allows developers to write smart contracts in a variety of languages, including Rust, the primary language from programs on Solana.
āYou can pull in specific libraries or specific components of your application using the Stylus stack and still take the benefits of the battle-hardened EVM code,ā Warner said, noting that languages like c++ may appeal more to game developers or traditional finance firms.
Despite the technological milestone, Tesla shares fell about 1% in early trading Monday. The company's stock has declined more than 15% since the start of the year, as Tesla grapples with declining demand and increasing pressure from competitors.
The company has faced mounting challenges, particularly in key markets such as China and Europe, where such as China's BYD have taken the lead in the EV sector. Investors have also raised concerns about Tesla's aging vehicle lineup and its brand image, which has been affected by Musk's much-debated involvement with President Donald Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency.
The driverless delivery came shortly after Tesla initiated its Robotaxi program in Austin on a limited basis. While some influencers and analysts praised the program after participating in controlled test runs, others noted that the autonomous vehicles occasionally disobeyed local traffic laws.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which has previously scrutinized Tesla's self-driving efforts, confirmed it has requested more information about the Robotaxi pilot program.
Musk has long touted self-driving technology as a potential game-changer for Tesla's valuation, estimating that autonomous vehicles could add between $5 trillion and $10 trillion to the company's market cap by turning idle cars into active, income-generating assets.
Tesla is competing with other major players in the self-driving market, including Waymo, a company owned by Google. With this latest delivery, Tesla aims to demonstrate it can deliver real-world, fully autonomous performance, without a driver or remote assistance.
āThey looked eerily similar to humans and are honestly very creepy,ā one traveler said in a shared video. āThis is freaky,ā another said.
The guestās discomfort reflects a trend in human-robot interaction, known as the āuncanny valley,ā the eerie feeling that arises when machines look and behave almost like people, but not quite enough.
As UC Berkeley Industrial Engineering Professor Ken Goldberg once told Decrypt, āI want a robot to look like a robotāit can maybe do some things, but I don't want to confuse it with a real person.ā
From Tokyo to Las Vegas, hotels are experimenting with machines to greet guests, answer questions, serve food, and trim labor costs.
In Japan, the Henn-na Hotel, also known as the āStrange Hotel,ā has led the charge in adopting robotic staff. Opened in Nagasaki in 2015, it once boasted more than 240 robots and a minimal staff of humans.
Today, guests can still find humanoid androids behind check-in counters at the chainās locations in Ginza, Hamamatsucho, Asakusabashi, Akasaka, and Haneda.
While the Henn-na Hotel drew headlines when it opened, problems soon emerged. By 2019, the hotel had retired more than half of its robotic staff due to technical glitches and guest complaints.
Based on traveler reviews, people love itāthey describe interacting with the āstaffā as fun and rate the hotel overall highly," a spokesperson for Hotels.com told Decrypt. "The hotel has found a memorable way to add a little novelty and delight to the check-in experience, which seems to go over well with guests."
Despite mixed reactions, the rollout of robots in the hospitality industry is accelerating.
A recent report from Research and Markets projects the global hospitality robot market, including check-in, delivery, and cleaning bots, to grow from $648.2 million in 2024 to $2.2 billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate of 21.5%.
The surge is driven by post-COVID demand for contactless services, rising labor costs, and greater consumer acceptance of robotic staff.
Other major hotel chains that feature robot servers include Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Wyndham, Aloft, Crowne Plaza, and Renaissance, with robots delivering room service, amenities, and food to guest rooms.
In 2017, a 4-foot-tall robot named Pepper was introduced at the Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas as a ātechnical ambassador.ā
After the hotel was sold and rebranded as the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas, Pepper stuck aroundāgreeting guests in the lobby, answering questions, and occasionally dancing.
āShe was good,ā a Waldorf Astoria representative told Decrypt. āShe helped with lines at our front desk and entertained guests.ā But Pepper was eventually retired, possibly after being damaged by visitors. āSomeone got rough with it,ā the employee said, noting that parts had gone missing.
However, it remains to be seen how much humans will accept robots taking over the travel industry and removing the āhuman touchā the industry has been known for.
While humanoid robots grab attention with their lifelike appearances, experts say the real transformation is more subtle.
Bitcoinās role on company balance sheets is growing fast. According to a report, 199 entities now hold 3 million BTC, worth about $315 billion.
That total has more than doubled since the start of 2024. It marks a clear shift in how big firms view crypto, not just as a trading asset but as a longāterm treasury play.
Among those 199 entities, 147 public and private companies account for 1.1 million BTC (around $115 billion). Strategy, the pioneer in this space, holds 580,250 BTCāabout $60 billionāand trades at a market cap of $104 billion.
That gives it a Multiple on Net Asset Value (MNAV) of 1.7Ć today. Investors once paid up to 2Ć NAV for Strategyās shares, reflecting confidence in its ability to grow BTCāperāshare faster than anyone else.
When a firmās main business is holding Bitcoin, its shares need to outperform Bitcoin itself. That premium, known as MNAV, depends on faith in management and clear execution plans.
Strategy has used three main tools since 2020: issuing convertible debt, running an AtātheāMarket stock program, and plowing free cash flow into spot Bitcoin.
New rivals are copying and tweaking this playbookāletting holders swap coins for stock, buying underpriced firms to turn cash into BTC, and even adding private deals to raise funds.
āWhen people talk about humanoid robot receptionists, they usually picture the physical kind, like androids at the front desk,ā Wyatt Mayham, CEO of Northwest AI Consulting, said. āBut the real shift in hospitality AI is happening behind the scenes. Most hotels aren't betting on robots to check you in. They're putting their money into automation that actually solves day-to-day problems.ā
As Mayham explained, behind-the-scenes investment reflects a deeper trend reshaping the hospitality industry from within.
An extended bear market could test these models. If Bitcoin falls and shares trade at or below NAV, debtāheavy firms might struggle to refinance when notes come due.
That could force them to sell Bitcoin into a downtrend, pushing prices lower. Smaller companies without Strategyās scale will face higher borrowing costs and tougher terms.
During a recession, margin calls and forced sales may cascade throughout the market, although most of these companies use equity financing mainly.
Stocks tied to the price of ether, better known as ETH, were higher on Wednesday, reflecting renewed enthusiasm for the crypto asset amid a surge of interest in stablecoins and tokenization.
BitMine Immersion Technologies, a bitcoin miner that announced plans this week to make ETH its primary treasury reserve asset, jumped about 20%. It's gained more than 1,000% since the announcement. Betting platform SharpLink Gaming, which has also initiated an ETH treasury strategy, added more than 11%. Bit Digital, which last week exited bitcoin mining to focus on its ETH treasury and staking plans, jumped more than 6%.
"We're finally at the point where real use cases are emerging, and stablecoins have been the first version of that at scale but they're going to open the door to a much bigger story around tokenizing other assets and using digital assets in new ways," Devin Ryan, head of financial technology research at Citizens.
On Tuesday, as bitcoin ETFs snapped a 15-day streak of inflows, ether ETFs saw $40 million in inflows led by BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust. ETH ETFs came back to life in June after much concern that they were becoming zombie funds.
The price of the coin itself was last higher by 5%, according to Coin Metrics, though it's still down 24% this year.
Governor Katie Hobbs issues a third veto on a pro-Bitcoin law in Arizona.
Bill HB 2324 proposed to create a state Bitcoin reserve from seized cryptos.
Hobbs cites volatility risks and the impact on local law enforcement.
Katie Hobbs stays on course. The Governor of Arizona has just issued a veto on bill HB 2324, which proposed establishing a Bitcoin reserve managed by the state.
This legislative initiative, adopted by 34 votes to 22 in the House of Representatives, would have allowed the creation of strategic reserves from cryptos confiscated during criminal investigations.
In her letter addressed to House Speaker Steve Montenegro, Hobbs justifies her decision with operational concerns.
She argues that this measure ādisincentives local law enforcement from working with the state on digital asset forfeitureā. According to her, removing seized assets from local jurisdictions would harm inter-agency cooperation.
Ethereum has been struggling with an identity crisis fueled by uncertainty about the network's value proposition, weaker revenue since its last big technical upgrade and increasing competition from Solana. Market volatility, driven by geopolitical uncertainty this year, has not helped.
The Ethereum network's smart contracts capability makes it a prominent platform for the tokenization of traditional assets, which includes U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoins. Fundstrat's Tom Lee this week called Ethereum "the backbone and architecture" of stablecoins. Both Tether (USDT) and Circle's USD Coin (USDC) are issued on the network.
To that end, Robinhood has started quietly building its own blockchain, using Ethereum scaling tech to support 24/5 trading. It also launched tokenized shares of OpenAI and SpaceX ā companies not publicly listed ā to European users, marking a shift in how and where retail investors can gain exposure to top tech names.
"We thought we would just deliver," Tenev said. "We don't want to do much talking. We want to just put product in customers' hands."
Robinhood Crypto general manager Johann Kerbrat echoed that sentiment, saying the company is just getting started.
"In the future, we think we can expand this to thousands of tokens that represent different types of financial instruments ā from U.S. stocks and international equities to private equity," he said. "What we showed today with SpaceX and OpenAI is just a glimpse of what we're planning ā there's much more to come."
Robinhood's revenue rose 50% year-over-year in Q1, and the company just this week launched staking in the U.S. ā a feature that had previously been blocked by regulators.
"To position Gaming for enduring success and allow us to focus on strategic growth areas, we will end or decrease work in certain areas of the business and follow Microsoft's lead in removing layers of management to increase agility and effectiveness," Phil Spencer, Microsoft's CEO of gaming, wrote in a Wednesday memo to employees in that division.
Microsoft reported nearly $26 billion in net income on $70 billion in revenue for the March quarter. The numbers were well ahead of Wall Street's consensus, keeping Microsoft ranked as one of the most profitable companies in the S&P 500 index, according to data compiled by FactSet.
Executives called for about 14% year-over-year revenue growth in the June quarter, thanks to expected expansion in Azure cloud services and corporate productivity software subscriptions
Microsoft stock closed at a record high of $497.45 per share on June 26. At the start of Wednesday's trading session, the shares were down about 0.6%, while the S&P 500 was roughly flat.
Autodesk, Chegg and CrowdStrike are among the other software providers that have slimmed down in 2025. Earlier on Wednesday, payroll processing company ADP said the U.S. private sector lost 33,000 jobs in June. Economists polled by Dow Jones had predicted an increase of 100,000.
Foldables represented less than 2% of the overall smartphone market in 2024, according to International Data Corporation. Samsung was the biggest player with 34% market share followed by Huawei with just under 24%, IDC added. Honor took the fourth spot with a nearly 11% share.
Honor is looking to get a head start on Samsung, which has its own foldable launch next week on July 9.
Francisco Jeronimo, a vice president at the International Data Corporation, said the Magic V5 is a strong offering from Honor.
"This is the dream foldable smartphone that any user who is interested in this category will think of," Jeronimo told CNBC, pointing to features such as the battery.
"This phone continues to push the bar forward, and it will challenge Samsung as they are about to launch their seventh generation of foldable phones," he added.
The thinness of a foldable phone has become a battleground for smartphone makers to appeal to consumers who want the large screen size the device has to offer without extra weight.
At its event next week, Samsung is expected to release a foldable that is thinner than its predecessor and could come close to challenging Honor's offering by way of size, analysts said. If that happens, then Honor will be facing more competition, especially against Samsung, which has a bigger global footprint.
"The biggest challenge for Honor is the brand equity and distribution reach vs Samsung, where the Korean vendor has the edge," Neil Shah, co-founder of Counterpoint Research, told CNBC.
Honor's push into international markets beyond China is still fairly young, with the company looking to build up its brand.
"Further, if Samsung catches up with a thinner form-factor in upcoming iterations, as it has been the real pioneer in foldables with its vertical integration expertise from displays to batteries, the differentiating factor might narrow for Honor," Shah added.
Since Trump's first term, Washington has been trying to onshore more of the advanced semiconductor supply chain from Asia, support its domestic players and limit China's capabilities.
Although tax provisions in Trump's sweeping policy bill expand on those in the Biden administration's CHIPS Act, his overall approach to the semiconductor industry has been different.
Earlier this year, the president even called for a repeal of the CHIPS Act, though Republican lawmakers have been reluctant to act on that front. Still, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said last month that the administration was renegotiating some of the Biden administration's grants.
Trump has previously stated that tariffs, as opposed to the CHIPS Act grants, would be the best method of onshoring semiconductor production. The Trump administration is currently conducting an investigation into imports of semiconductor technology, which could result in new duties on the industry.
In recent months, a number of chipmakers with projects in the U.S. have ramped up planned investments there. That includes the world's largest contract chipmaker, TSMC, as well as American chip companies such as Nvidia, Micron and GlobalFoundries.
According to Daniel Newman, CEO at tech advisory firm Futurum Group, the threat of Trump's tariffs has created more urgency for semiconductor companies to expand U.S. capacity. If the increased investment tax credits come into law, those onshoring efforts are only expected to accelerate, he told CNBC.
"Given the risk of tariffs, increasing manufacturing in the U.S. remains a key consideration for these large semiconductor companies," Newman said, adding that the tax credits could be seen as an opportunity to offset certain costs related to U.S.-based projects.
XRP LEDGER EVM-SIDECHAIN MAINNET LAUNCHES: Ripple officially introduced the XRP Ledger's Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) sidechain to the mainnet in an bid to improve the ecosystem's interoperability and allow developers to deploy their Ethereum-based decentralized applications (dapps) with the XRPL. The development adds EVM-compatible smart contracts while maintaining a connection to the XRPL, giving developers access to the ecosystem at a low cost, Ripple said in a blog post. It is designed to eliminate the trade-off between EVM compatibility and XRPLās own advantages, opening the door for dapps to lean into XRPās payments infrastructure. The sidechain operates as a separate blockchain that is parallel and connected to the XRP Ledger over the Axelar bridge, an interoperability protocol. XRPLās native token, XRP, will serve as the native gas token for the sidechain.
āHotels are moving away from patchwork tools and toward integrated systems powered by AI,ā he said. āThe goal isnāt to replace people at the front desk, itās to tighten operations and run leaner without losing service quality.ā
For now, the robot receptionists are still employed at the Henn-na Hotel, but according to a recent report by travel website The Travel, the hotelās staff is mostly human.
Working from the Electronic Babylonian Library Platform, which contains 1,402 manuscripts, the researchers use n-gram matching as their primary method of reconstruction, although other methods include vocabulary overlapping and searching for longest common strings (of text).
Los Angeles is Broke ā City Declares Fiscal Emergency
The city of Los Angeles declared a state of fiscal emergency amid a $1 billion deficit. The council approved of the emergency declaration unanimously in a 14-0 vote. This comes after Mayor Karen Bass approved a $14 billion budget for the fiscal year that began on July 1. The city is a prime example of what happens when socialist policies are allowed to run rampant at the expense of the people.
Bass approved of raising the budget from $12.9 billion in FY2024-25 to $14 billion in 2025-26 despite the looming $1 billion deficit. Unsurprisingly, overspending is the main culprit for the deficit, and yet, lawmakers have every intention of spending more. Over 600 public sector workers will be let go as a result of fiscal mismanagement, and although small government is usually applaudable, the city plans to fire 248 LAPD employees, 44 sanitation workers, and 41 firefighters. LA is experiencing a significant uptick in crime, but plans to defund the police to appease the mobs.
California Governor Gavin Newsom boasts of Californiaās robust economy but fails to acknowledge that itās a state basically living āpaycheck-to-paycheck,ā with the payee being the taxpayer. Read the stateās plan to cover its budget deficits ā endless taxes. Spending growth from 2025-26 to 2028-29 is 5.8%, above the average of 3.5%. Growth over the same period is just above 4%, ālower than its historical average, largely due to policy choices that end during the forecast window. Taken together, we view it as unlikely that revenue growth will be fast enough to catch up to ongoing spending.ā Even residents who choose or are forced to leave the state will incur taxes to cover government thievery. Los Angeles is one of countless examples of how the public sector will virtue signal to rob Peter, not to pay Paul, but to pay themselves, as they are not hiding the corruption.
Liability costs totaled $546 million in the past years, as there have been numerous lawsuits, mainly involving the Los Angeles Police Department, which is forbidden by law to enforce order. The city refused to budget for these growing legal battles. Not only does the city plan to fire officers, but they also reduced hiring by 50% last year, recruiting 240 new officers instead of the 480 needed to patrol the city.
Iāve reported numerous times how California uses the homeless epidemic to fund NGOs that merely steal from the taxpayers. Mayor Bass stated she plans to cut 10% of funding to the āInside Safeā program. The city has spent millions on combating homelessness, and the numbers continue to rise.
Crime is more expensive than funding the LAPD. Criminals have cost the city of Los Angeles an estimated $7.6 billion annually. Gang violence alone costs the city around $1 billion per year, according to the Vera Institute of Justice, which is half of the annual budget of the LAPD. The California Department of Justice has acknowledged that property crime has risen in recent years and accounts for 60ā70% of total losses. Yet, violent demonstrations are permitted to occur whenever Washington enacts a policy that displeases the Democrats.
Blue policies such as the net-zero climate initiative have caused businesses to flee Los Angeles and California as a whole. From 2020 to the present day, over 164 companies have left California. In the last year, 12 major companies like SpaceX, Chevron, X, and KFC have fled CA for TX. Los Angeles shed 106 corporate headquarters between 2018 and 2024, the second-highest number of losses in US metros behind San Francisco/San Jose.
Taxpayers are fleeing the state en masse. State and local taxes are among the highest in the nation and disproportionately harm the middle and upper classes to fund the growing public sector. Energy costs have skyrocketed, with major refiners abandoning California. Gas is expected to rise 75% by 2026, and residents are already paying the highest price for gas in the nation. The cost of living is exorbitant. Those who can have already fled as the government must continue to leech of the taxpayers to fund their failures.
There should be checks and balances against these elected officials who recklessly spend with no end in sight. Downsizing the police force is a political move that will only cause crime and the costs associated with crime to rise. Los Angeles is becoming a failed city as a direct result of socialist policies that have historically NEVER worked.
A Kraken spokesperson told Decrypt that the company is working to bring xStocks to chains beyond Solana.
Robinhoodās decision to build on Arbitrum was partly motivated by the ability to connect with other entities within Ethereumās ecosystem, Robinhood Crypto General Manager Johann Kerbrat said.
Kraken is pushing forward with tokenized stock trading on Solana, while the exchangeās Ethereum layer-2 network has gone unused, Kerbrat noted.
A Kraken spokesperson said that the company will expand xStocks to additional blockchains, while Ink is a key part of the companyās roadmap.
Robinhood is making its biggest bet on crypto yet, announcing on Monday that itās developing an Ethereum layer-2 scaling network for trading digital representations of assets like stocks, while similar products exist already on competing networks like Solana.
For Johann Kerbrat, Robinhood's crypto general manager, the existence of multiple projects is frustrating. Tokenization becomes less beneficial when a digital version of the same stock is issued across multiple networks beneficial because activity is siloed across ecosystems, he told Decrypt.
The Senate voted 99-1 against a proposed 10-year AI regulation moratorium, signaling major pushback from lawmakers.
AI-related cryptoassets saw a 5% drop in market cap and trade volume after the billās rejection.
The proposed moratorium would have limited states' ability to regulate AI-related crimes, fueling significant political controversy.
Trumpās Big Beautiful Bill no longer contains a 10-year moratorium on AI regulation, causing several setbacks for related tokens. Trade volumes and market cap for AI cryptoassets both fell over 5% in the last 24 hours.
Senators overwhelmingly shot down the moratorium in a 99-1 vote that saw pro-crypto legislators abandon the effort. Still, the market sector was already in a slump, and itās hard to determine the billās impact.
Trumpās Big Beautiful Bill is a key piece of legislation that covers a huge range of topics. Intense political controversies caused the bill to change shape many times, but it finally passed the Senate today.
However, Senators overwhelmingly rejected the billās language supporting AI, showing a massive rebuke for the entire industry.
The vote was nearly unanimous, signaling real apprehension towards the industry. Indeed, the only Senator who voted for it, Thom Tillis, already announced that he wonāt seek re-election.
A lot of cryptoassets are tied to the AI industry, and the market sector has taken some major hits since the billās language changed. Market cap and volume are both down over 5%:
Tesla has completed its first fully autonomous vehicle delivery, with a driverless Model Y navigating from the company's Austin factory to a customer's home, a milestone as the company faces a downturn in sales and more competition in the electric vehicle market.
Tesla has completed its first fully autonomous vehicle delivery, with a driverless Model Y navigating from the company's Austin factory to a customer's home, a milestone as the company faces a downturn in sales and increased competition in the electric vehicle market, the New York Post reported.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the company has completed its first driverless car delivery to a customer, showcasing the potential of its "Full Self-Driving" technology at a pivotal moment for the electric automaker.
A Tesla Model Y SUV left the company's Gigafactory and drove itself about 30 minutes to a customer's house last Friday. The route included parking lots, highways, and city streets. Tesla shared a time-lapse video of the trip, emphasizing that the vehicle operated independently for the entire drive.
"There were no people in the car at all and no remote operators in control at any point. FULLY autonomous!" Musk posted on X.
Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla's head of AI, said the delivery was not staged.
We "literally chose a random customer who ordered a Model Y in the Austin area," he said. The car reportedly reached a top speed of 72 mph during the trip.
Hotels are turning to humanoid robots, with guests either loving or hating the creepy, human-like experience.
Hotels around the world are increasingly utilizing humanoid robots to check guests in, answer questions, and reduce staffing costs.
While some travelers embrace the high-tech experience, others feel uneasy, especially when robots appear too human.
Despite technical glitches and guest complaints, the hospitality robot market is booming, with an expected value of surpassing $2 billion by 2030.
We are seeing a lot of different robots being made for different purposes. I think this will render a lot of people unemployed. What do you think Taskmaster?
CEO Vlad Tenev said the goal is to merge crypto infrastructure with traditional finance by putting real products in customersā hands.
CANNES ā Robinhood stock hit the $100 mark for the first time, capping off a week of fresh all-time highs and renewed investor confidence.
Shares are now tracking their best performance since April, up more than 30% since the trading app was snubbed from the S&P 500.
The milestone follows a major strategic swing in Europe, where Robinhood unveiled its most ambitious crypto expansion to date ā one aimed at re-engineering the financial infrastructure itself.
At an event held in a Belle Ćpoque mansion along the French Riviera, Robinhood executives laid out a vision to bring thousands of tokenized stocks, ETFs, and private equities fully on-chain.
"This presentation and these products are dual-purpose," CEO Vlad Tenev told CNBC in Cannes. "The first purpose is obviously to deliver great products to users, but I think the second purpose is to just demonstrate very concretely how great it could be if crypto technology and traditional financial services could fully merge."
Microsoft surpassed expectations on revenue and profit but is slimming down across ranks, organizations and geographies.
Microsoft said Wednesday that it will lay off about 9,000 employees. The move will affect less than 4% of its global workforce across different teams, geographies and levels of experience, a person familiar with the matter told CNBC.
The announcement comes on the second day of Microsoft's 2026 fiscal year. Executives at the Redmond, Washington-based company typically unveil reorganizations at the time of the new fiscal year.
"We continue to implement organizational changes necessary to best position the company and teams for success in a dynamic marketplace," a Microsoft spokesperson said in an email.
Microsoft has held several rounds of layoffs already this calendar year. In January, it cut less than 1% of headcount based on performance. The 50-year-old software company slashed more than 6,000 jobs in May and then at least 300 more in June. As of June 2024 it employed 228,000 people. In 2023, it laid off 10,000.
Perhaps the largest culling of Microsoft workers came in 2014, when the company eliminated 18,000 after acquiring Nokia's devices and services business.
As was the case with the May layoffs, Microsoft is looking to reduce the number of layers of managers that stand between individual contributors and top executives, said the person who asked not to be named while discussing internal matters.
Honor launched the Magic V5 on Wednesday, it's latest foldable smartphone that will initially launch in China and then overseas markets.
Honor on Wednesday touted the slimness and battery capacity of its newly launched thin foldable phone, as it lays down a fresh challenge to market leader Samsung.
The Honor Magic V5 goes will initially go on sale in China, but the Chinese tech firm will likely bring the device to international markets later this year.
The company, which spun off from Chinese tech giant Huawei in 2020, is looking to stand out from rivals with key features of the Magic V5, like artificial intelligence, battery and size.
Honor said the Magic V5 is 8.8 mm to 9mm when folded, depending on the color choice. The phone's predecessor, the Magic V3 ā Honor skipped the Magic V4 name ā was 9.2 mm when folded. Honor said the Magic V5 weighs 217 grams to 222 grams, again, depending on the color model. The previous version was 226 grams.
In China, Honor will launch a special 1 terabyte storage size version of the Magic V5, which it says will have a battery capacity of more than 6000 milliampere-hour ā among the highest for foldable phones.
Honor has tried hard to tout these features, as competition in foldables ramps up, even as these types of devices have a very small share of the overall smartphone market.
The latest version of President Donald Trump's "big beautiful bill" provides larger tax credits to semiconductor manufacturers building plants in the U.S.
The latest version of U.S. President Donald Trump's "big beautiful bill" could make it cheaper for semiconductor manufacturers to build plants in the U.S. as Washington continues its efforts to strengthen its domestic chip supply chain.
Under the bill, passed by the Senate Tuesday, tax credits for those semiconductor firms would rise to 35% from 25%. That's more than the 30% increase that had made it into a draft version of the bill.
Companies eligible for the credits could include chipmakers such as Intel, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and Micron Technology, provided that they expand their advanced manufacturing in the U.S. ahead of a 2026 deadline.
The new provisions expand on tax incentives under the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act, which provided grants of $39 billion and loans of $75 billion for U.S.-based semiconductor manufacturing projects.
But before the expanded credits come into play, Trump's sweeping domestic policy package will have to be passed again in the House, which narrowly passed its own version last month. The president has urged lawmakers to get the bill passed by July 4.

Freevee was originally born out of IMDb, the TV and movie service Amazon acquired in 1998.
Amazon is discontinuing its stand-alone free streaming TV service next month as it looks to consolidate its content offerings under Prime Video.
The service, called Freevee, launched in 2019 underneath IMDb, the film and TV site Amazon bought in 1998. It offered a stable of free, ad-supported video, including original series and some Prime Video content, primarily through an app.
The Freevee app will shut down in August, at which point users will be able to watch shows and movies on Prime Video for free without a subscription to Amazon's Prime loyalty program, according to a notice to users.
Speaking at EthCC in France, Ethereumās founder said developers need to stay true to cryptoās principles amid a wave of corporate blockchain adoption.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin wants the crypto industry to grow up fast ā stressing that the industry is at an āinflection point.ā
Speaking in front of a packed room at the Ethereum Community Conference, in Cannes, France, Buterin used his keynote to deliver a clear-eyed reality check: Decentralization, he argued, must evolve from a catchphrase to a concrete set of user guarantees ā or risk becoming another hollow promise.
As the industry has gone mainstream with endorsements from major corporations and political figures, builders need to return to the ecosystemās key ideals surrounding decentralization and building for users' needs, Buterin said.
In his typical jeans and relaxed dark T-shirt uniform, Buterin laid out practical ātestsā that he said every crypto project should pass. These include 1) the walk-away test. If the company behind an application disappears, do users keep their assets? And 2) the insider attack test: How much damage can rogue insiders or compromised front-ends cause? And 3) whether it has a trusted computing base: How many lines of code must be trusted to protect usersā funds or data?
Who is winning the digital superintelligence race? Who are the leading competitors?
The race for digital superintelligenceāAI systems surpassing human cognitive capabilities across most domainsāis a speculative and rapidly evolving field, with no clear winner as of July 2025. The concept of superintelligence remains hypothetical, building on the pursuit of artificial general intelligence (AGI), which aims to match human-level intelligence.
OpenAIStatus: OpenAI is a frontrunner, driven by its advancements in large language models like ChatGPT and subsequent models (e.g., o1, o3). CEO Sam Altman has claimed that humanity is already in the "era of superintelligence," with systems like ChatGPT outperforming humans in specific tasks and serving hundreds of millions daily. OpenAI's focus on recursive self-improvementāusing AI to accelerate AI researchāgives it a potential edge in scaling capabilities.

EleutherAI, Allen Institute, IBM, Microsoft, and Databricks contribute diverse, accessible models that fuel research and enterprise applications. These LLMs are critical to the superintelligence race by enabling global collaboration, transparency, and experimentation, though computational and alignment challenges remain. For the latest updates, you can explore platforms like Hugging Face or follow X posts from AI researchers
Challenges and ConsiderationsComputational Demands: Models like LLaMA 3.1 405B and BLOOM require significant GPU resources, limiting accessibility for smaller organizations.
Alignment and Safety: Open-source models like Zephyr-7B-alpha (not listed above but mentioned in sources) lack RLHF, risking problematic outputs, which is a critical concern for superintelligence development.
Licensing Restrictions: While Apache 2.0 (Granite, Pythia) and MIT (Phi-3) licenses are permissive, LLaMA and Gemmaās custom licenses impose restrictions, potentially slowing community-driven progress.
Global Competition: U.S. open-source LLMs face competition from international models like DeepSeek-V3 (China) and Mistral (France), which offer comparable performance with fewer restrictions.
Meta AI (LLaMA): Metaās aggressive push with LLaMA 3.1 and LLaMA 4, backed by a $65 billion investment in 2025 and talent acquisition from Scale AI, positions it as a leader. Its open-weight models enable global research, accelerating innovation toward AGI, though its custom license limits some commercial applications.
xAI (Grok): xAIās focus on real-time data integration and reasoning aligns with superintelligence goals, but its less open licensing may restrict community contributions compared to LLaMA or Granite.
Google (Gemma): Gemmaās lightweight design complements Googleās proprietary Gemini models, suggesting a dual strategy of open-source research and closed-source scaling toward superintelligence.
Smaller Players (EleutherAI, Allen Institute, Hugging Face): These organizations foster transparency and community-driven development, crucial for addressing alignment and safety challenges in superintelligence. Their models, while smaller, provide foundational insights for scaling.
IBM and Microsoft: Granite and Phi-3 focus on enterprise and edge efficiency, respectively, contributing to practical, scalable AI systems that could integrate into larger superintelligent frameworks.
Databricks (DBRX): Its MoE architecture offers a compute-efficient path to scaling, a key consideration for superintelligence development.
If you want to boost your productivity, then, first of all, you have to learn to respect your sleep and staying awake till late at night gives you happiness only for a short while but not for a long time Losses are more and if you sleep well every day, your mood remains positive and Creativity flows and problem-solving skills automatically become sharp and you become more efficient in the team Your ideas becomes practical and impactful.
People think that working all night will increase their productivity But in reality, those who sacrifice their sleep, their output gradually starts falling And productivity doesn't just come from work It comes from working well and good work can be done only when both the mind and the body are sharp.

The phrase "ChatGPT wrapper" is outdated and misleading.
"Context engineering" is a more accurate term than "prompt engineering." A "prompt" is often seen as a brief task description for a language model used in everyday applications.
However, in robust industrial language model applications, context engineering is the sophisticated process of curating a context window with just the right details for subsequent steps.
Achieving a balance is both a scienceārequiring task descriptions, explanations, examples, retrieval-augmented generation, multimodal data, tools, state, history, and concise informationāand an art, guided by an intuitive grasp of language
Beyond context engineering, a complete language model application must:
ā¢ Correctly segment problems into manageable control flows.
ā¢ Optimize the packing of context windows.
ā¢ Strategically issue calls to language models with the
appropriate capabilities.
ā¢ Orchestrate user interfaces that blend generation and verification.
ā¢ Incorporate additional elements such as safety measures, evaluative criteria, parallel processing, and prefetching.
Thus, context engineering is merely one component of a complex, layered software system that coordinates individual language model functions and much more.
Being described as intense should be seen as a compliment rather than an insultāeven if it was originally meant as criticism. Consider the demands of this world. Reflect on its requirements. Can one succeed without passion or spirit?
When I give a BOOM to @leo.alerts, I can be sure that my upvote earnings will be used in a best possible way. ( not by sell-n-run, get-rich-quick hunters)
I urge more people do the same:
Several reasons, I made !DOOK so I can give you the inside scoop.
For one it makes it easy to see if the tip worked both for the tipper and person being tipped and also it can serve as a promo so when other people see it they may want to buy the token too so they can tip as well
i get the idea, I just don't like getting those generic comments on my threads every time someone drops the trigger word in their reply
To try to be a bit constructive though, how about putting some sort of limit on the amount of comments a day, or at the very least an option to reserve against replies from the bot for those who want to opt out? I did not know you were the one who built this particular one
Totally understandable my bot has a max of 400 calls a day and some people down vote it. And that's totally fair , some other tokens leave a comment but not on that post and just tag the tipper and the person getting the tip in that separate post a bit more of an elegant solutions, but yeah I am behind DOOK it just for tipping and nothing else š¤£ also part of DUO team it has tip function but super limited

Why not burn the $LEO as well?
now that the leo tokenomics have changed i don't think burning is required.
As no new tokens are minted.
Thats my thought
Also its not worth as i am the only one contrbuting to this cause.
I need contributors who are ready to share their author rewards and then we can burn LEO too (if everyone agrees too)
Are you happy to share and add token.burn as beneficiary in your posts?

Every $LEO we earn, will never be sold š¦
This strategy also helps to stablize the price. No ever selling is a nice statement.
OMG! Just stop already.
You built your stake with other peopleās capital with no return on that in sight.
Even if you dont believe in us, surely you can't mind us sharing our goals and mission?
You can just choose not to interat with us if you dislike the project that much, we will still be here either way.
Our mission still stands, raise capital to get more $LEO and never sell.
I can also choose to comment.
Your project had so much potential but you destroyed any faith / support by lack of follow through on your promises.
So yes I will continue to comment.
Ofc we never wanted you to stop you.
What do you think we dont have followed through on? Just curious š¦

Depending on centralized custody in the crypto space defeats the purpose. Self-custody should be the standard since it genuinely guarantees true ownership. Without control of the keys, the coins aren't really yours.
That's right. As long as we don't able to fully control our asset, those are not fully ours.
So when is the new leo chain expected?
What, new leo chain? Afaik we will never be our own chain :)
The new tokenomics has the main LEO token on Arbitrum. There are also on bsc and polygon (as far as I remember - bLEO and pLEO).
Staked LEO on arbitrum will start yield rewards in about 84 days, paid is ARB.USDC. LEO on Hive Engine (heLEO) will also still be a thing and is used as it is now, giving value to your vote (very basic).
The InLeo platform will not move to another chain (at least that's not the planet yet).
https://wleo.io can be used to bridge LEO between chains.
I don't think there is a need or plans for a leo chain. The infrastructure is already there. You don't need to invent a wheel twice.
You mean 2.0? Its already here.

Did you stake on Leodex or on Hive engine/tribaldex?
They're staked on HE. Not sure what interface was used though š¤Ŗ
Are there still incentives fot staking on HE? I thought we are all trying to leodex?
Functionality is the same. The more you have staked on HE, the more you get for curating content.
It all depends on your preference, but I would say keep all LEO staked on HE for about 50 days (53 maybe) and then unstake it all if you want them staked on Arbitrum for rewards paid in usdc š

Authority that is not matched by responsibility is inherently flawed.
When someone is expected to take initiative and shoulder the greater burden, it demonstrates their readiness to lead by accepting the risk of failure, rather than simply imposing power based on ego.
Granting authority without corresponding accountability creates vulnerability and insincerity, as those with unmerited power may undermine decisions or evade responsibility by not facing the full consequences.
Genuine authority comes with real costsāif a mistake is made, the primary decision maker should bear the brunt of the repercussions. When costs do not align with choices, the legitimacy of that authority is compromised.
This principle holds true across all areas of social interactionāfrom casual gatherings to institutional frameworks and personal relationships. Those who set the terms must be willing to sacrifice in order to uphold them.
True fairness in any hierarchy is not about everyone having an equal voice, but rather that those willing to take the greatest risks also shoulder the greatest consequences when things go wrong.

Since you curate yourself instead of delegating?
Yes. All my HP is back home again, for my own curations. No more delegating.
Curation is now my daily job
Although it's definitely not my day job, I agree it's best to curate ourselves. A while back, I looked into delegation options for $LEO. My conclusion was I could best do it myself to achieve the highest apr's and have the freedom who I upvote / not.
100% true. This freedom sense is a nice feeling. Besides the other benefits as well
Why do you actually have 2 accounts?
(If I may ask?
Two? Ha ha.
A lot more than TWO.
With separate accounts I can make completely different patterns in curation, voting, staking, trading.
Many tribes, communities have different rules, opportunities.
It is very ineffective to curate with all owned tokens with just one account, one pattern.
I don't like to waste my staked token powers in places or ways, which are not best for that particular token.
I want my every move to be aimed for the MAXIMUM results.
I am a hardcore MAXIMALIST. š
Small part from my KEYCHAIN app:
That's a lot to manage :o
Was just wondering as both @onealfa and @onealfa.leo have a huge amount of $LEO staked.
I get it for all the other tribe tokens, just not for your two 'main accounts'
Aghh, got you point.
In the past, there were some bad punishments for any even smallest power-down ( in leoads and leo.voter tiers) So I decided to use bigger amount on onealfa.leo, which would never-ever powering down whatsoever, and main acct onealfa for a current, daily earnings, which could be unstaking, if needed, in case some liquid tokens demand happens.
It started with zero LEO in January-2024, and in ~17 months it grew from ZERO to 1 MLN LEO.
Ahhh, makes sense. Thanks for explaining
Definitely awesome growth in terms of achieving 1M $LEO in 17 months! š

It appears that spending less time at a Buc-eeās than the duration needed for a supercharge isnāt feasible.
The experience is simpler than conventional refueling:
"I donāt believe itās physically possible to minimize time at Buc-eeās compared to the waiting time for a full supercharge.
The comparison between gas-powered and electric vehicles is clear. Just plug in, head insideāno payment hassles, no delays refilling the tank, and no unnecessary parking maneuvers.
A brief walk indoors returns a full charge more conveniently than refueling with gas."

Life reveals countless experiences, yet one of the deepest tragedies is seeing someone lose their heart. Itās akin to losing the will to live, innocence, or simply the essence of being.
Such individuals become empty shells, exhausted and merely awaiting fate. Often, once that heart is lost, itās nearly impossible to rediscover.
It's already 4:00 p.m and the weather seems enjoyable. I was waking outside beside a road and the airflow was quite good and I didn't sweat for that. That made my walk more enjoyable.

Bitcoin serves as a means of preserving wealth. Although many currently view it as a speculative asset, Bitcoin actually mitigates risks inherent in traditional financial frameworks.
It stands apart as the only truly decentralized digital asset. While its value in US dollars may fluctuate dramatically for an extended periodāor possibly indefinitelyā1 BTC will always remain equivalent to 1 BTC.
Today, only about 1% of the global population holds Bitcoin. However, in the months and years ahead, its ownership will broaden. The present holders may eventually need an incentive to divest.
Historically, entities with deep financial resources have capitalized on fear. It's important to note that most current Bitcoin owners lack a thorough understanding of its fundamentals; they pursue it primarily for potential US dollar gains.
Market dynamics can trigger a rush to buy during downturns or sell during upswings.
With their vast purchasing power, institutional players can drive Bitcoin's price upward, compelling less knowledgeable holders to sell, while dollar valuations become increasingly unreliable due to limitless printing.
As banks and financial institutions have the ability to mint more currency, these players can buy more Bitcoin whenever needed.
They may well elevate Bitcoin's price dramatically, prompting those with limited insight to liquidate their positions.
For many, Bitcoin's value far exceeds its current US dollar priceāit's a symbol of financial freedom, a way to secure wealth without dependence on banks or governments.
While the US dollar valuation of Bitcoin might waver, if fiat cash is needed to cover daily expenses, selling a portion of Bitcoin is a viable option; conversely, extra fiat often goes toward acquiring more Bitcoin.
Generally, individuals who are progressing in their careers or businesses tend to accumulate Bitcoin, gradually reducing its circulating supply as value creation continues.
Hence, Bitcoin should primarily be regarded as a long-term store of value. Relying on frequent buying and selling based solely on its US dollar price could lead to substantial losses.

Retirement is not defined by a specific ageāitās a state of financial freedom. Rather than being age-based, it arrives when your assets afford you the lifestyle you desire, whether that occurs at 25, 50, or beyond 60.

A preference emerges for "context engineering" rather than "prompt engineering." Prompts are often seen as brief task instructions used in everyday interactions with language models.
In contrast, every robust language model application relies on the subtle art and science of optimizing the context window with precisely the right information for the subsequent step.
Itās a science because success depends on crafting detailed task descriptions and explanations, integrating few-shot examples, retrieval-augmented generation, related (potentially multimodal) data, tools, state management, history, and
compacting. Striking the right balance is crucialāinsufficient or improperly formatted context can hinder performance, while overly abundant or irrelevant details can inflate costs and diminish efficiency.
Itās also an art given the intuitive understanding of language model behavior and human factors.
Beyond context engineering, a language model application must also:
ā¢ Decompose problems into carefully designed control flows.
ā¢ Optimize context window content.
ā¢ Route requests to appropriate language models based on their
capabilities.
ā¢ Manage generation-verification interactions and user interface flows.
ā¢ Address additional challenges including guardrails, security, evaluations, parallel processes, and prefetching.
"ChatGPT wrapper" is an inadequate
termāit fails to capture the complexity of a system that coordinates multiple language model interactions into a comprehensive application.
"Quoted tweet: I really like the term 'context engineering' over prompt engineering.
It describes the core skill better: the art of providing all the context for the task to be plausibly solvable by the LLM."

The point is clear: struggling with inefficient tools diverts attention from the user experience. Itās impossible to sustain success with mainstream projects if technology forces constant frustration.
Developers using Radix invest more effort in crafting the user interface instead of battling their tech stack.
"Critiquing design, some dismiss it with:
'Everythingās fine'
'You just donāt get it'
'Itās about keeping certain groups
out'
This stance is unacceptableāa commitment to quality design is essential.
Those who thrive only in isolated echo chambers are unlikely to succeed in the broader market."

Paragraphs
āI hate the idea of having a Tesla-Kraken token and a Tesla-Robinhood token,ā he said. āInstead of actually moving forward and creating a better financial system, weāre splitting [up] liquidity.ā
Robinhoodās initiative highlights stark differences between major crypto trading platforms as they use tokenization to break from traditional methods of record keeping and create more efficient systems for investors.
In developing its own Ethereum-compatible network, based on Arbitrumās design, Kerbrat said that Robinhood is trying to cast as large a net as possible, as it looks to expand on tokenized assets and connect with other entities within the cryptosphere.
āWeāre launching [tokenized stocks and ETFs] first in the EU, but in the future, [we] want to open it up as soon as we get clarity on regulations,ā he said. āWe want the maximum participation there. We want to be compatible with other players.ā
So, this leaves us with a few questions. What were the Big Beautiful Billās positions on AI? Why did the Senate overwhelmingly reject them? Can we expect the AI token market to continue showing reduced trade volumes and market capitalization?
The billās plan, essentially, was to impose a 10-year moratorium on AI regulation for all US states. This may have taken the form of an outright ban or a more roundabout method.
It would have proposed a $500 million fund on AI infrastructure development, but only states with zero AI regulations could access this money. Google and OpenAI supported this plan.
Such a vision wouldāve created a lot of problems, and pro-crypto Senators even turned on it. If the bill banned AI regulation for 10 years, states would be powerless to prevent future AI-related crimes.
But crypto exchanges Kraken and Bybit have rolled out tokenized stock trading through Backed Financeās xStocks. The assets, which trade on Solana, underscore how companies are leveraging competing networks and standards in trying to give the financial system a facelift.
As Kraken pushes forward with tokenized stock trading on Solana, Kerbrat noted that Ink, an Ethereum layer-2 network released by Kraken last year, has gone untapped.
āItās interesting to see that they decided to not use that chain,ā he said. āSome companies are about launching as many things as possible to get as many headlines as possible. On our side, we actually want people to use a product.ā
A Kraken spokesperson told Decrypt that it joined the xStocks Alliance, a group of exchanges, networks, and decentralized finance protocols setting standards for on-chain assets, to avoid fragmenting liquidity across multiple token standards and chains.
Obvious offenses include fraud or copyright infringement, but people might even use AI tools to simulate depictions of child abuse, as some Senators warned. This possibility caused prominent Republicans like Marsha Blackburn to disavow the effort.
Unfortunately, itās difficult to say how the bill will impact the AI token market in the long term. So far, the Big Beautiful Bill has been very unpredictable already.
For example, Elon Muskās opposition to the bill caused several Musk-related meme coins to flourish, but Dogecoin fell by over 5%. This chaos could create new opportunities, but itās uncertain where theyāll appear.
Additionally, the AI token sector was already in a slump before the bill passed. These 5% drops are concerning, but AI asset trade volumes fell over 38% in the last 30 days.
āWeāre working to make xStocks the global standard for tokenized equities,ā the spokesperson said. āThis isnāt about promoting any single brandāitās about unlocking access and shifting power back to the people.ā
Solana was a natural place to launch xStocks to āaccelerate mass adoption,ā but Kraken is already working with a ābroad network of partnersā to expand xStocks to additional blockchains, the spokesperson said. Ink is a key part of the companyās roadmap, they added.
As Kraken leans into xStocks, Robinhood is preparing to debut its own Ethereum layer-2 scaling network, with the intent of appealing to as many developers as possible, too.

In Cannes, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev said during an event on Monday that the firm is working with regulators to ābring the entire Robinhood ecosystem on-chain,ā eventually leveraging its own blockchain for trading and settlement and supporting financial applications.
During a fireside with Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and Offchain Labs CSO A.J. Warner, Kerbrat later highlighted Arbitrum Stylus. As an engineer, he noted how difficult it can be to find āgreat engineersā that are adept in Ethereumās programming language.
Arbitrum Stylus, which debuted in September, allows developers to write smart contracts in a variety of languages, including Rust, the primary language from programs on Solana.
āYou can pull in specific libraries or specific components of your application using the Stylus stack and still take the benefits of the battle-hardened EVM code,ā Warner said, noting that languages like c++ may appeal more to game developers or traditional finance firms.
Despite the technological milestone, Tesla shares fell about 1% in early trading Monday. The company's stock has declined more than 15% since the start of the year, as Tesla grapples with declining demand and increasing pressure from competitors.
The company has faced mounting challenges, particularly in key markets such as China and Europe, where such as China's BYD have taken the lead in the EV sector. Investors have also raised concerns about Tesla's aging vehicle lineup and its brand image, which has been affected by Musk's much-debated involvement with President Donald Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency.
The driverless delivery came shortly after Tesla initiated its Robotaxi program in Austin on a limited basis. While some influencers and analysts praised the program after participating in controlled test runs, others noted that the autonomous vehicles occasionally disobeyed local traffic laws.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which has previously scrutinized Tesla's self-driving efforts, confirmed it has requested more information about the Robotaxi pilot program.
Musk has long touted self-driving technology as a potential game-changer for Tesla's valuation, estimating that autonomous vehicles could add between $5 trillion and $10 trillion to the company's market cap by turning idle cars into active, income-generating assets.
Tesla is competing with other major players in the self-driving market, including Waymo, a company owned by Google. With this latest delivery, Tesla aims to demonstrate it can deliver real-world, fully autonomous performance, without a driver or remote assistance.
āThey looked eerily similar to humans and are honestly very creepy,ā one traveler said in a shared video. āThis is freaky,ā another said.
The guestās discomfort reflects a trend in human-robot interaction, known as the āuncanny valley,ā the eerie feeling that arises when machines look and behave almost like people, but not quite enough.
As UC Berkeley Industrial Engineering Professor Ken Goldberg once told Decrypt, āI want a robot to look like a robotāit can maybe do some things, but I don't want to confuse it with a real person.ā
From Tokyo to Las Vegas, hotels are experimenting with machines to greet guests, answer questions, serve food, and trim labor costs.
In Japan, the Henn-na Hotel, also known as the āStrange Hotel,ā has led the charge in adopting robotic staff. Opened in Nagasaki in 2015, it once boasted more than 240 robots and a minimal staff of humans.
Today, guests can still find humanoid androids behind check-in counters at the chainās locations in Ginza, Hamamatsucho, Asakusabashi, Akasaka, and Haneda.
While the Henn-na Hotel drew headlines when it opened, problems soon emerged. By 2019, the hotel had retired more than half of its robotic staff due to technical glitches and guest complaints.
Based on traveler reviews, people love itāthey describe interacting with the āstaffā as fun and rate the hotel overall highly," a spokesperson for Hotels.com told Decrypt. "The hotel has found a memorable way to add a little novelty and delight to the check-in experience, which seems to go over well with guests."
Despite mixed reactions, the rollout of robots in the hospitality industry is accelerating.
A recent report from Research and Markets projects the global hospitality robot market, including check-in, delivery, and cleaning bots, to grow from $648.2 million in 2024 to $2.2 billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate of 21.5%.
The surge is driven by post-COVID demand for contactless services, rising labor costs, and greater consumer acceptance of robotic staff.
Other major hotel chains that feature robot servers include Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Wyndham, Aloft, Crowne Plaza, and Renaissance, with robots delivering room service, amenities, and food to guest rooms.
In 2017, a 4-foot-tall robot named Pepper was introduced at the Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas as a ātechnical ambassador.ā
After the hotel was sold and rebranded as the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas, Pepper stuck aroundāgreeting guests in the lobby, answering questions, and occasionally dancing.
āShe was good,ā a Waldorf Astoria representative told Decrypt. āShe helped with lines at our front desk and entertained guests.ā But Pepper was eventually retired, possibly after being damaged by visitors. āSomeone got rough with it,ā the employee said, noting that parts had gone missing.
However, it remains to be seen how much humans will accept robots taking over the travel industry and removing the āhuman touchā the industry has been known for.
While humanoid robots grab attention with their lifelike appearances, experts say the real transformation is more subtle.
Bitcoinās role on company balance sheets is growing fast. According to a report, 199 entities now hold 3 million BTC, worth about $315 billion.
That total has more than doubled since the start of 2024. It marks a clear shift in how big firms view crypto, not just as a trading asset but as a longāterm treasury play.
Among those 199 entities, 147 public and private companies account for 1.1 million BTC (around $115 billion). Strategy, the pioneer in this space, holds 580,250 BTCāabout $60 billionāand trades at a market cap of $104 billion.
That gives it a Multiple on Net Asset Value (MNAV) of 1.7Ć today. Investors once paid up to 2Ć NAV for Strategyās shares, reflecting confidence in its ability to grow BTCāperāshare faster than anyone else.
When a firmās main business is holding Bitcoin, its shares need to outperform Bitcoin itself. That premium, known as MNAV, depends on faith in management and clear execution plans.
Strategy has used three main tools since 2020: issuing convertible debt, running an AtātheāMarket stock program, and plowing free cash flow into spot Bitcoin.
New rivals are copying and tweaking this playbookāletting holders swap coins for stock, buying underpriced firms to turn cash into BTC, and even adding private deals to raise funds.
āWhen people talk about humanoid robot receptionists, they usually picture the physical kind, like androids at the front desk,ā Wyatt Mayham, CEO of Northwest AI Consulting, said. āBut the real shift in hospitality AI is happening behind the scenes. Most hotels aren't betting on robots to check you in. They're putting their money into automation that actually solves day-to-day problems.ā
As Mayham explained, behind-the-scenes investment reflects a deeper trend reshaping the hospitality industry from within.
An extended bear market could test these models. If Bitcoin falls and shares trade at or below NAV, debtāheavy firms might struggle to refinance when notes come due.
That could force them to sell Bitcoin into a downtrend, pushing prices lower. Smaller companies without Strategyās scale will face higher borrowing costs and tougher terms.
During a recession, margin calls and forced sales may cascade throughout the market, although most of these companies use equity financing mainly.
Stocks tied to the price of ether, better known as ETH, were higher on Wednesday, reflecting renewed enthusiasm for the crypto asset amid a surge of interest in stablecoins and tokenization.
BitMine Immersion Technologies, a bitcoin miner that announced plans this week to make ETH its primary treasury reserve asset, jumped about 20%. It's gained more than 1,000% since the announcement. Betting platform SharpLink Gaming, which has also initiated an ETH treasury strategy, added more than 11%. Bit Digital, which last week exited bitcoin mining to focus on its ETH treasury and staking plans, jumped more than 6%.
"We're finally at the point where real use cases are emerging, and stablecoins have been the first version of that at scale but they're going to open the door to a much bigger story around tokenizing other assets and using digital assets in new ways," Devin Ryan, head of financial technology research at Citizens.
On Tuesday, as bitcoin ETFs snapped a 15-day streak of inflows, ether ETFs saw $40 million in inflows led by BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust. ETH ETFs came back to life in June after much concern that they were becoming zombie funds.
The price of the coin itself was last higher by 5%, according to Coin Metrics, though it's still down 24% this year.
Governor Katie Hobbs issues a third veto on a pro-Bitcoin law in Arizona.
Bill HB 2324 proposed to create a state Bitcoin reserve from seized cryptos.
Hobbs cites volatility risks and the impact on local law enforcement.
Katie Hobbs stays on course. The Governor of Arizona has just issued a veto on bill HB 2324, which proposed establishing a Bitcoin reserve managed by the state.
This legislative initiative, adopted by 34 votes to 22 in the House of Representatives, would have allowed the creation of strategic reserves from cryptos confiscated during criminal investigations.
In her letter addressed to House Speaker Steve Montenegro, Hobbs justifies her decision with operational concerns.
She argues that this measure ādisincentives local law enforcement from working with the state on digital asset forfeitureā. According to her, removing seized assets from local jurisdictions would harm inter-agency cooperation.
Ethereum has been struggling with an identity crisis fueled by uncertainty about the network's value proposition, weaker revenue since its last big technical upgrade and increasing competition from Solana. Market volatility, driven by geopolitical uncertainty this year, has not helped.
The Ethereum network's smart contracts capability makes it a prominent platform for the tokenization of traditional assets, which includes U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoins. Fundstrat's Tom Lee this week called Ethereum "the backbone and architecture" of stablecoins. Both Tether (USDT) and Circle's USD Coin (USDC) are issued on the network.
To that end, Robinhood has started quietly building its own blockchain, using Ethereum scaling tech to support 24/5 trading. It also launched tokenized shares of OpenAI and SpaceX ā companies not publicly listed ā to European users, marking a shift in how and where retail investors can gain exposure to top tech names.
"We thought we would just deliver," Tenev said. "We don't want to do much talking. We want to just put product in customers' hands."
Robinhood Crypto general manager Johann Kerbrat echoed that sentiment, saying the company is just getting started.
"In the future, we think we can expand this to thousands of tokens that represent different types of financial instruments ā from U.S. stocks and international equities to private equity," he said. "What we showed today with SpaceX and OpenAI is just a glimpse of what we're planning ā there's much more to come."
Robinhood's revenue rose 50% year-over-year in Q1, and the company just this week launched staking in the U.S. ā a feature that had previously been blocked by regulators.
"To position Gaming for enduring success and allow us to focus on strategic growth areas, we will end or decrease work in certain areas of the business and follow Microsoft's lead in removing layers of management to increase agility and effectiveness," Phil Spencer, Microsoft's CEO of gaming, wrote in a Wednesday memo to employees in that division.
Microsoft reported nearly $26 billion in net income on $70 billion in revenue for the March quarter. The numbers were well ahead of Wall Street's consensus, keeping Microsoft ranked as one of the most profitable companies in the S&P 500 index, according to data compiled by FactSet.
Executives called for about 14% year-over-year revenue growth in the June quarter, thanks to expected expansion in Azure cloud services and corporate productivity software subscriptions
Microsoft stock closed at a record high of $497.45 per share on June 26. At the start of Wednesday's trading session, the shares were down about 0.6%, while the S&P 500 was roughly flat.
Autodesk, Chegg and CrowdStrike are among the other software providers that have slimmed down in 2025. Earlier on Wednesday, payroll processing company ADP said the U.S. private sector lost 33,000 jobs in June. Economists polled by Dow Jones had predicted an increase of 100,000.
Foldables represented less than 2% of the overall smartphone market in 2024, according to International Data Corporation. Samsung was the biggest player with 34% market share followed by Huawei with just under 24%, IDC added. Honor took the fourth spot with a nearly 11% share.
Honor is looking to get a head start on Samsung, which has its own foldable launch next week on July 9.
Francisco Jeronimo, a vice president at the International Data Corporation, said the Magic V5 is a strong offering from Honor.
"This is the dream foldable smartphone that any user who is interested in this category will think of," Jeronimo told CNBC, pointing to features such as the battery.
"This phone continues to push the bar forward, and it will challenge Samsung as they are about to launch their seventh generation of foldable phones," he added.
The thinness of a foldable phone has become a battleground for smartphone makers to appeal to consumers who want the large screen size the device has to offer without extra weight.
At its event next week, Samsung is expected to release a foldable that is thinner than its predecessor and could come close to challenging Honor's offering by way of size, analysts said. If that happens, then Honor will be facing more competition, especially against Samsung, which has a bigger global footprint.
"The biggest challenge for Honor is the brand equity and distribution reach vs Samsung, where the Korean vendor has the edge," Neil Shah, co-founder of Counterpoint Research, told CNBC.
Honor's push into international markets beyond China is still fairly young, with the company looking to build up its brand.
"Further, if Samsung catches up with a thinner form-factor in upcoming iterations, as it has been the real pioneer in foldables with its vertical integration expertise from displays to batteries, the differentiating factor might narrow for Honor," Shah added.
Since Trump's first term, Washington has been trying to onshore more of the advanced semiconductor supply chain from Asia, support its domestic players and limit China's capabilities.
Although tax provisions in Trump's sweeping policy bill expand on those in the Biden administration's CHIPS Act, his overall approach to the semiconductor industry has been different.
Earlier this year, the president even called for a repeal of the CHIPS Act, though Republican lawmakers have been reluctant to act on that front. Still, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said last month that the administration was renegotiating some of the Biden administration's grants.
Trump has previously stated that tariffs, as opposed to the CHIPS Act grants, would be the best method of onshoring semiconductor production. The Trump administration is currently conducting an investigation into imports of semiconductor technology, which could result in new duties on the industry.
In recent months, a number of chipmakers with projects in the U.S. have ramped up planned investments there. That includes the world's largest contract chipmaker, TSMC, as well as American chip companies such as Nvidia, Micron and GlobalFoundries.
According to Daniel Newman, CEO at tech advisory firm Futurum Group, the threat of Trump's tariffs has created more urgency for semiconductor companies to expand U.S. capacity. If the increased investment tax credits come into law, those onshoring efforts are only expected to accelerate, he told CNBC.
"Given the risk of tariffs, increasing manufacturing in the U.S. remains a key consideration for these large semiconductor companies," Newman said, adding that the tax credits could be seen as an opportunity to offset certain costs related to U.S.-based projects.
XRP LEDGER EVM-SIDECHAIN MAINNET LAUNCHES: Ripple officially introduced the XRP Ledger's Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) sidechain to the mainnet in an bid to improve the ecosystem's interoperability and allow developers to deploy their Ethereum-based decentralized applications (dapps) with the XRPL. The development adds EVM-compatible smart contracts while maintaining a connection to the XRPL, giving developers access to the ecosystem at a low cost, Ripple said in a blog post. It is designed to eliminate the trade-off between EVM compatibility and XRPLās own advantages, opening the door for dapps to lean into XRPās payments infrastructure. The sidechain operates as a separate blockchain that is parallel and connected to the XRP Ledger over the Axelar bridge, an interoperability protocol. XRPLās native token, XRP, will serve as the native gas token for the sidechain.
āHotels are moving away from patchwork tools and toward integrated systems powered by AI,ā he said. āThe goal isnāt to replace people at the front desk, itās to tighten operations and run leaner without losing service quality.ā
For now, the robot receptionists are still employed at the Henn-na Hotel, but according to a recent report by travel website The Travel, the hotelās staff is mostly human.
āWe used a specialized AI program to analyze and match text fragments based on combinations of cuneiform signs,ā Professor Enrique JimĆ©nez, Professor of Ancient Oriental Languages at LMU, told Decrypt.
JimƩnez and his colleagues use approaches based around natural language processing to indicate that fragments belong to a single text, as detailed in a methodology paper from last year.
Working from the Electronic Babylonian Library Platform, which contains 1,402 manuscripts, the researchers use n-gram matching as their primary method of reconstruction, although other methods include vocabulary overlapping and searching for longest common strings (of text).
According to JimĆ©nez, the rediscovered poem was important enough to be taught as part of Babylonās curriculum.
Los Angeles is Broke ā City Declares Fiscal Emergency
The city of Los Angeles declared a state of fiscal emergency amid a $1 billion deficit. The council approved of the emergency declaration unanimously in a 14-0 vote. This comes after Mayor Karen Bass approved a $14 billion budget for the fiscal year that began on July 1. The city is a prime example of what happens when socialist policies are allowed to run rampant at the expense of the people.
Bass approved of raising the budget from $12.9 billion in FY2024-25 to $14 billion in 2025-26 despite the looming $1 billion deficit. Unsurprisingly, overspending is the main culprit for the deficit, and yet, lawmakers have every intention of spending more. Over 600 public sector workers will be let go as a result of fiscal mismanagement, and although small government is usually applaudable, the city plans to fire 248 LAPD employees, 44 sanitation workers, and 41 firefighters. LA is experiencing a significant uptick in crime, but plans to defund the police to appease the mobs.
California Governor Gavin Newsom boasts of Californiaās robust economy but fails to acknowledge that itās a state basically living āpaycheck-to-paycheck,ā with the payee being the taxpayer. Read the stateās plan to cover its budget deficits ā endless taxes. Spending growth from 2025-26 to 2028-29 is 5.8%, above the average of 3.5%. Growth over the same period is just above 4%, ālower than its historical average, largely due to policy choices that end during the forecast window. Taken together, we view it as unlikely that revenue growth will be fast enough to catch up to ongoing spending.ā Even residents who choose or are forced to leave the state will incur taxes to cover government thievery. Los Angeles is one of countless examples of how the public sector will virtue signal to rob Peter, not to pay Paul, but to pay themselves, as they are not hiding the corruption.
Liability costs totaled $546 million in the past years, as there have been numerous lawsuits, mainly involving the Los Angeles Police Department, which is forbidden by law to enforce order. The city refused to budget for these growing legal battles. Not only does the city plan to fire officers, but they also reduced hiring by 50% last year, recruiting 240 new officers instead of the 480 needed to patrol the city.
Iāve reported numerous times how California uses the homeless epidemic to fund NGOs that merely steal from the taxpayers. Mayor Bass stated she plans to cut 10% of funding to the āInside Safeā program. The city has spent millions on combating homelessness, and the numbers continue to rise.
Crime is more expensive than funding the LAPD. Criminals have cost the city of Los Angeles an estimated $7.6 billion annually. Gang violence alone costs the city around $1 billion per year, according to the Vera Institute of Justice, which is half of the annual budget of the LAPD. The California Department of Justice has acknowledged that property crime has risen in recent years and accounts for 60ā70% of total losses. Yet, violent demonstrations are permitted to occur whenever Washington enacts a policy that displeases the Democrats.
Blue policies such as the net-zero climate initiative have caused businesses to flee Los Angeles and California as a whole. From 2020 to the present day, over 164 companies have left California. In the last year, 12 major companies like SpaceX, Chevron, X, and KFC have fled CA for TX. Los Angeles shed 106 corporate headquarters between 2018 and 2024, the second-highest number of losses in US metros behind San Francisco/San Jose.
Taxpayers are fleeing the state en masse. State and local taxes are among the highest in the nation and disproportionately harm the middle and upper classes to fund the growing public sector. Energy costs have skyrocketed, with major refiners abandoning California. Gas is expected to rise 75% by 2026, and residents are already paying the highest price for gas in the nation. The cost of living is exorbitant. Those who can have already fled as the government must continue to leech of the taxpayers to fund their failures.
There should be checks and balances against these elected officials who recklessly spend with no end in sight. Downsizing the police force is a political move that will only cause crime and the costs associated with crime to rise. Los Angeles is becoming a failed city as a direct result of socialist policies that have historically NEVER worked.
Why Is Robinhood Building on Arbitrum Instead of Solana?
A Kraken spokesperson told Decrypt that the company is working to bring xStocks to chains beyond Solana.
Robinhoodās decision to build on Arbitrum was partly motivated by the ability to connect with other entities within Ethereumās ecosystem, Robinhood Crypto General Manager Johann Kerbrat said.
Kraken is pushing forward with tokenized stock trading on Solana, while the exchangeās Ethereum layer-2 network has gone unused, Kerbrat noted.
A Kraken spokesperson said that the company will expand xStocks to additional blockchains, while Ink is a key part of the companyās roadmap.
Robinhood is making its biggest bet on crypto yet, announcing on Monday that itās developing an Ethereum layer-2 scaling network for trading digital representations of assets like stocks, while similar products exist already on competing networks like Solana.
For Johann Kerbrat, Robinhood's crypto general manager, the existence of multiple projects is frustrating. Tokenization becomes less beneficial when a digital version of the same stock is issued across multiple networks beneficial because activity is siloed across ecosystems, he told Decrypt.
AI Tokens Plunge 10% As US Senate Rejects Federal AI Regulation Freeze
The Senate voted 99-1 against a proposed 10-year AI regulation moratorium, signaling major pushback from lawmakers.
AI-related cryptoassets saw a 5% drop in market cap and trade volume after the billās rejection.
The proposed moratorium would have limited states' ability to regulate AI-related crimes, fueling significant political controversy.
Trumpās Big Beautiful Bill no longer contains a 10-year moratorium on AI regulation, causing several setbacks for related tokens. Trade volumes and market cap for AI cryptoassets both fell over 5% in the last 24 hours.
Senators overwhelmingly shot down the moratorium in a 99-1 vote that saw pro-crypto legislators abandon the effort. Still, the market sector was already in a slump, and itās hard to determine the billās impact.
Trumpās Big Beautiful Bill is a key piece of legislation that covers a huge range of topics. Intense political controversies caused the bill to change shape many times, but it finally passed the Senate today.
However, Senators overwhelmingly rejected the billās language supporting AI, showing a massive rebuke for the entire industry.
The vote was nearly unanimous, signaling real apprehension towards the industry. Indeed, the only Senator who voted for it, Thom Tillis, already announced that he wonāt seek re-election.
A lot of cryptoassets are tied to the AI industry, and the market sector has taken some major hits since the billās language changed. Market cap and volume are both down over 5%:
Smiles, Trump at times does things that puts most people into confusion.
Trump has nothing to do with the US Senate. These were the Senators that voted it, not him.
Tesla Delivers First Driverless Car in Texas Milestone
Tesla has completed its first fully autonomous vehicle delivery, with a driverless Model Y navigating from the company's Austin factory to a customer's home, a milestone as the company faces a downturn in sales and more competition in the electric vehicle market.
Tesla has completed its first fully autonomous vehicle delivery, with a driverless Model Y navigating from the company's Austin factory to a customer's home, a milestone as the company faces a downturn in sales and increased competition in the electric vehicle market, the New York Post reported.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the company has completed its first driverless car delivery to a customer, showcasing the potential of its "Full Self-Driving" technology at a pivotal moment for the electric automaker.
A Tesla Model Y SUV left the company's Gigafactory and drove itself about 30 minutes to a customer's house last Friday. The route included parking lots, highways, and city streets. Tesla shared a time-lapse video of the trip, emphasizing that the vehicle operated independently for the entire drive.
"There were no people in the car at all and no remote operators in control at any point. FULLY autonomous!" Musk posted on X.
Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla's head of AI, said the delivery was not staged.
We "literally chose a random customer who ordered a Model Y in the Austin area," he said. The car reportedly reached a top speed of 72 mph during the trip.
To be honest I love anything Tesla, but my problems is that the are freaking expensive. I don't think those cars are made for civil servants.
Hotels Are Staffing Robotsāand Guests Are Freaking Out
Hotels are turning to humanoid robots, with guests either loving or hating the creepy, human-like experience.
Hotels around the world are increasingly utilizing humanoid robots to check guests in, answer questions, and reduce staffing costs.
While some travelers embrace the high-tech experience, others feel uneasy, especially when robots appear too human.
Despite technical glitches and guest complaints, the hospitality robot market is booming, with an expected value of surpassing $2 billion by 2030.
A TikTok video went viral on Monday, showing a woman laughing nervously as she backs away from a humanoid robot at Japanās Henn-na Hotel.
āDonāt look at me,ā she said, as the machine watched her. The scene underscores growing fears that robots are replacing humans in the workplace.
The awkward check-in has racked up hundreds of thousands of views and tapped into a deeper fear: robots that are a little too human.
This is a new era and robots have come to stay. My dear is that it will create a lot of unemployment.
Kind of creepy looking things, I'm with the folks that would rather have a regular looking bot.
Happy to be here. Greetings everyone
Huh š
Did you just arrive from space?
All the same, welcome back.
!LOLZ
!DOOK
!BBH
Thanks Luchylš¹
You're welcome.
I think the era of Ai will do us more harm than good. Please what do you think?
I think technology, overall, has always been a net positive for humanity. There are downsides to all of them.
Look at fire. A wonderful breakthough, most would agree, except when we set towns on fire.
Yeah. You are making sense
We are seeing a lot of different robots being made for different purposes. I think this will render a lot of people unemployed. What do you think Taskmaster?
I like the sound of that power
Yeah Yeah Yeah. We know you like power. A domme all the way. LOL
Love to see people feeding LeoAi even if Ai-summaries is down for maintance.
Trying to fill it anyway I can. AI-summaries might be down for more than that unfortunately.
Robinhood stock tops $100 to new record, roaring 30% since being snubbed from S&P 500
CEO Vlad Tenev said the goal is to merge crypto infrastructure with traditional finance by putting real products in customersā hands.
CANNES ā Robinhood stock hit the $100 mark for the first time, capping off a week of fresh all-time highs and renewed investor confidence.
Shares are now tracking their best performance since April, up more than 30% since the trading app was snubbed from the S&P 500.
The milestone follows a major strategic swing in Europe, where Robinhood unveiled its most ambitious crypto expansion to date ā one aimed at re-engineering the financial infrastructure itself.
At an event held in a Belle Ćpoque mansion along the French Riviera, Robinhood executives laid out a vision to bring thousands of tokenized stocks, ETFs, and private equities fully on-chain.
"This presentation and these products are dual-purpose," CEO Vlad Tenev told CNBC in Cannes. "The first purpose is obviously to deliver great products to users, but I think the second purpose is to just demonstrate very concretely how great it could be if crypto technology and traditional financial services could fully merge."
Microsoft laying off about 9,000 employees in latest round of cuts
Microsoft surpassed expectations on revenue and profit but is slimming down across ranks, organizations and geographies.
Microsoft said Wednesday that it will lay off about 9,000 employees. The move will affect less than 4% of its global workforce across different teams, geographies and levels of experience, a person familiar with the matter told CNBC.
The announcement comes on the second day of Microsoft's 2026 fiscal year. Executives at the Redmond, Washington-based company typically unveil reorganizations at the time of the new fiscal year.
"We continue to implement organizational changes necessary to best position the company and teams for success in a dynamic marketplace," a Microsoft spokesperson said in an email.
Microsoft has held several rounds of layoffs already this calendar year. In January, it cut less than 1% of headcount based on performance. The 50-year-old software company slashed more than 6,000 jobs in May and then at least 300 more in June. As of June 2024 it employed 228,000 people. In 2023, it laid off 10,000.
Perhaps the largest culling of Microsoft workers came in 2014, when the company eliminated 18,000 after acquiring Nokia's devices and services business.
As was the case with the May layoffs, Microsoft is looking to reduce the number of layers of managers that stand between individual contributors and top executives, said the person who asked not to be named while discussing internal matters.
China's Honor launches new challenge to Samsung with thin foldable smartphone and a big battery
Honor launched the Magic V5 on Wednesday, it's latest foldable smartphone that will initially launch in China and then overseas markets.
Honor on Wednesday touted the slimness and battery capacity of its newly launched thin foldable phone, as it lays down a fresh challenge to market leader Samsung.
The Honor Magic V5 goes will initially go on sale in China, but the Chinese tech firm will likely bring the device to international markets later this year.
The company, which spun off from Chinese tech giant Huawei in 2020, is looking to stand out from rivals with key features of the Magic V5, like artificial intelligence, battery and size.
Honor said the Magic V5 is 8.8 mm to 9mm when folded, depending on the color choice. The phone's predecessor, the Magic V3 ā Honor skipped the Magic V4 name ā was 9.2 mm when folded. Honor said the Magic V5 weighs 217 grams to 222 grams, again, depending on the color model. The previous version was 226 grams.
In China, Honor will launch a special 1 terabyte storage size version of the Magic V5, which it says will have a battery capacity of more than 6000 milliampere-hour ā among the highest for foldable phones.
Honor has tried hard to tout these features, as competition in foldables ramps up, even as these types of devices have a very small share of the overall smartphone market.
Chipmakers get larger tax credits in Trumpās latest ābig beautiful billā
The latest version of President Donald Trump's "big beautiful bill" provides larger tax credits to semiconductor manufacturers building plants in the U.S.
The latest version of U.S. President Donald Trump's "big beautiful bill" could make it cheaper for semiconductor manufacturers to build plants in the U.S. as Washington continues its efforts to strengthen its domestic chip supply chain.
Under the bill, passed by the Senate Tuesday, tax credits for those semiconductor firms would rise to 35% from 25%. That's more than the 30% increase that had made it into a draft version of the bill.
Companies eligible for the credits could include chipmakers such as Intel, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and Micron Technology, provided that they expand their advanced manufacturing in the U.S. ahead of a 2026 deadline.
The new provisions expand on tax incentives under the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act, which provided grants of $39 billion and loans of $75 billion for U.S.-based semiconductor manufacturing projects.
But before the expanded credits come into play, Trump's sweeping domestic policy package will have to be passed again in the House, which narrowly passed its own version last month. The president has urged lawmakers to get the bill passed by July 4.

Amazon to shut down Freevee streaming TV service in August
Freevee was originally born out of IMDb, the TV and movie service Amazon acquired in 1998.
Amazon is discontinuing its stand-alone free streaming TV service next month as it looks to consolidate its content offerings under Prime Video.
The service, called Freevee, launched in 2019 underneath IMDb, the film and TV site Amazon bought in 1998. It offered a stable of free, ad-supported video, including original series and some Prime Video content, primarily through an app.
The Freevee app will shut down in August, at which point users will be able to watch shows and movies on Prime Video for free without a subscription to Amazon's Prime loyalty program, according to a notice to users.
Ethereum Blockchain Is at Risk If Decentralization Is Just a Catchphrase, Buterin Says
Speaking at EthCC in France, Ethereumās founder said developers need to stay true to cryptoās principles amid a wave of corporate blockchain adoption.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin wants the crypto industry to grow up fast ā stressing that the industry is at an āinflection point.ā
Speaking in front of a packed room at the Ethereum Community Conference, in Cannes, France, Buterin used his keynote to deliver a clear-eyed reality check: Decentralization, he argued, must evolve from a catchphrase to a concrete set of user guarantees ā or risk becoming another hollow promise.
As the industry has gone mainstream with endorsements from major corporations and political figures, builders need to return to the ecosystemās key ideals surrounding decentralization and building for users' needs, Buterin said.
In his typical jeans and relaxed dark T-shirt uniform, Buterin laid out practical ātestsā that he said every crypto project should pass. These include 1) the walk-away test. If the company behind an application disappears, do users keep their assets? And 2) the insider attack test: How much damage can rogue insiders or compromised front-ends cause? And 3) whether it has a trusted computing base: How many lines of code must be trusted to protect usersā funds or data?
The race for digital superintelligenceāAI systems surpassing human cognitive capabilities across most domainsāis a speculative and rapidly evolving field, with no clear winner as of July 2025. The concept of superintelligence remains hypothetical, building on the pursuit of artificial general intelligence (AGI), which aims to match human-level intelligence.
OpenAIStatus: OpenAI is a frontrunner, driven by its advancements in large language models like ChatGPT and subsequent models (e.g., o1, o3). CEO Sam Altman has claimed that humanity is already in the "era of superintelligence," with systems like ChatGPT outperforming humans in specific tasks and serving hundreds of millions daily. OpenAI's focus on recursive self-improvementāusing AI to accelerate AI researchāgives it a potential edge in scaling capabilities.
Strengths: Massive user base (over 200 million weekly ChatGPT users).
Strong partnership with Microsoft, providing vast computational resources.
Leadership in reasoning models and multimodal AI (text, voice, and more).
Challenges: Heavy reliance on Microsoft for infrastructure.
Faces competition from rivals catching up in model performance.
Internal concerns about alignment and safety as models grow more powerful.
Meta AI (Meta Superintelligence Labs)Status: Meta is aggressively positioning itself in the race, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg personally leading the formation of a "Superintelligence Labs" division. A $14.3 billion investment in Scale AI and the hiring of its CEO, Alexandr Wang, signal a major push. Meta has poached top talent from competitors like Google DeepMind, OpenAI, and Anthropic, offering compensation packages up to $100 million.
Strengths:Massive financial resources and a strategic 49% stake in Scale AI, providing access to vast AI training data.
Open-source approach with Llama models, fostering a broad developer community.

Challenges:Playing catch-up after Llama 4ās underwhelming performance and talent losses.
Internal skepticism, notably from Chief AI Scientist Yann LeCun, about the feasibility of achieving superintelligence via current large language model approaches.
Google (DeepMind and Gemini)Status: Google is a strong contender, leveraging decades of AI research through DeepMind and its Gemini models. Recent posts on X suggest Google has gained significant momentum, with some claiming it has surpassed OpenAI in public model performance.
Strengths:Unparalleled data access and infrastructure (e.g., TPUs, vast cloud resources).
Strong research output and a history of AI breakthroughs (e.g., AlphaGo).
Integration of AI across its product ecosystem (search, Android, etc.).
Challenges:Initially caught off-guard by ChatGPTās success, requiring a pivot to catch up.
Gemini models are competitive but reportedly lag in developer adoption compared to OpenAI and Anthropic.
AnthropicStatus: Founded by ex-OpenAI researchers, Anthropic is a notable player with its Claude models (e.g., Claude 3.5 Sonnet), which rival OpenAIās offerings in some benchmarks. Itās gaining traction as a counterweight to OpenAI and Microsoft.
Strengths:Backed by Amazon ($4 billion investment) and Alphabet, providing robust infrastructure.
Emphasis on safety and alignment, appealing to cautious enterprises.
Competitive models with strong performance in reasoning and multimodal tasks.
Challenges:Smaller user base compared to OpenAI and Meta.
Limited by a more conservative pace, though itās accelerating.
xAIStatus: Led by Elon Musk, xAI is pushing for superintelligence with its Grok models and the Dojo supercomputer. Musk has predicted superhuman AI by 2026, and some X posts rank xAI as a top contender alongside Teslaās AI efforts.
Strengths:Focused mission to accelerate human scientific discovery, potentially aligning with superintelligence goals.
Integration with Teslaās AI capabilities (e.g., vision models, autonomous driving).
Muskās willingness to take bold risks and invest heavily.
Challenges:Newer player with less established infrastructure compared to Google or Microsoft.
Chip and power supply constraints could hinder scaling.
Chinese AI Companies (e.g., DeepSeek, Qwen)Status: Chinese firms like DeepSeek and Qwen are emerging as significant players, with some X posts claiming theyāve achieved superintelligence or surpassed U.S. models in benchmarks. DeepSeekās open-source model has disrupted the market by offering high performance at lower costs.
Strengths:Massive government backing and a national strategy prioritizing AI dominance by 2030.
Rapid progress in research output (e.g., surpassing the U.S. in AI patents) and talent development.
Cost-efficient models challenging U.S. dominance.
Challenges:Limited compute resources compared to U.S. counterparts.
Geopolitical tensions and export controls on advanced chips (e.g., Nvidia) may slow progress.
Whoās Winning?No single entity can be definitively declared the winner, as superintelligence remains an aspirational goal rather than a realized one. However, OpenAI holds a slight edge due to its early lead in generative AI, massive user adoption, and computational backing from Microsoft. Meta is a strong challenger, aggressively closing the gap with its talent acquisition and investment in Scale AI, though it faces internal and technical hurdles. Google is regaining momentum and could dominate if it leverages its data and infrastructure advantages effectively. Anthropic and xAI are wildcard contenders, with Anthropic excelling in safety-focused innovation and xAI benefiting from Muskās ambitious vision. Chinese firms like DeepSeek are disruptive dark horses, potentially leading in cost efficiency but constrained by compute access.
Key ObservationsTalent Facets of the Race: The race is less about a single breakthrough and more about sustained investment in talent, compute power, and data. Metaās aggressive spending (up to $65 billion in 2025) and OpenAIās lead in model deployment highlight the financial intensity of the competition.
Talent War: Metaās poaching of researchers from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic underscores the critical role of human capital. The āZuck Bucksā phenomenonāmassive signing bonusesāreflects the high stakes.
Risks and Alignment: Concerns about AI alignment (ensuring AI goals align with human values) are growing, with OpenAI and Anthropic emphasizing safety but acknowledging challenges in defining ācollective alignmentā for superintelligent systems.
Global Dynamics: The U.S.-China AI race adds a geopolitical layer, with Chinaās rapid progress in patents and talent posing a long-term threat, though U.S. firms currently lead in compute and innovation.
ConclusionThe race for digital superintelligence is a tight contest among OpenAI, Meta, Google, Anthropic, xAI, and Chinese players like DeepSeek. OpenAIās user base and model advancements give it a marginal lead, but Metaās financial muscle and Googleās infrastructure could shift the balance. The outcome depends on breakthroughs in recursive self-improvement, compute scaling, and alignment solutions, with no clear timeline for superintelligence. The stakes are high, with potential to reshape economies and societiesāor pose existential risks if misaligned.

This is transparency at its peak.
The phrase "ChatGPT wrapper" is outdated and misleading.
"Context engineering" is a more accurate term than "prompt engineering." A "prompt" is often seen as a brief task description for a language model used in everyday applications.
However, in robust industrial language model applications, context engineering is the sophisticated process of curating a context window with just the right details for subsequent steps.
Achieving a balance is both a scienceārequiring task descriptions, explanations, examples, retrieval-augmented generation, multimodal data, tools, state, history, and concise informationāand an art, guided by an intuitive grasp of language
model psychology.
Beyond context engineering, a complete language model application must:
ā¢ Correctly segment problems into manageable control flows.
ā¢ Optimize the packing of context windows.
ā¢ Strategically issue calls to language models with the
appropriate capabilities.
ā¢ Orchestrate user interfaces that blend generation and verification.
ā¢ Incorporate additional elements such as safety measures, evaluative criteria, parallel processing, and prefetching.
Thus, context engineering is merely one component of a complex, layered software system that coordinates individual language model functions and much more.

Awesome community spirit and teamwork
@mightpossibly just imagine how nice it would have been to call a bot and do @premium here and see time left
My subscription expires in the next two days (or so), but I already have enough HBD set aside to renew it for another month.
I am just taking a short pit stop before locking in for another year. š¦
Premium isnāt just a badge, itās a signal.
They all know it so will go #premium for sure.
1inch now allows you to get your solana swapped into Ethereum L2.
I have a hunch Solana will be 3rd top coin.
Very likely.
I just started receiving some LEO tokens for my stake...
What's the new update guys?
I recommend you to read this

Looks guys I'm matching.
Made the hive sticker with my circuit.
If this thread can get over $1 in earnings I'm tearing that shit off and putting an inLeo logo instead šŖ
Don't get me wrong I love hive but inLeo logo is so much more badass and in line with my #grindsquad hunger for more !

Wow! It has really been a while since I login to threads. Happy to be here, Greetings everyone.
Welcome back!
Thanks friend š¹
I read a saying that "Whatās risky today could be revolutionary tomorrow"
Is this accurate?

When I give a BOOM to @leo.alerts, I can be sure that my upvote earnings will be used in a best possible way. ( not by sell-n-run, get-rich-quick hunters)
I urge more people do the same:
wait I'm lost can you elaborate, how are you pulling up this info on users to see if the leaching form the chain
Hehe the BOOM is the best get rich quick scheme here on Inleo if you are a good Premium liom šš¦
It is amazing to see these numbers and the rewards of this thread, just with your vote.
Such a powerful way to help the whole ecosystem.
Strong move. Supporting @leo.alerts is like reinvesting into the engine room of the ecosystem.
Itās not just an upvote, itās fueling the fire that keeps LEO deflationary and active.
Respect for leading by example.
Riches alone arenāt the targetātrue wealth is the aim.
The focus is on achieving a lasting legacy that secures retirement for both oneself and future generations.
People focus upon income rather than net worth.
Can you explain the difference between the two?
Sipped my morning coffee with this view.
This is how I wish every day would begin.
Happy day and I hope you enjoy that coffee.
A beautiful photo that conveys tranquility and harmony.
Hive tipping bots are stupid. They just post the same generic sentences over and over again to infinity.
Yet it is the @ai-summaries account that is gettin downvoted.
If enough activity, it could burn up all their voting power.
Of course, the service is DOA right now due to YT. Damn Google.
Well they not about the content they about the tips for the most part !DOOK but the hate for the summeeizer is lame
then why not just give the tip token without posting the comments
Several reasons, I made !DOOK so I can give you the inside scoop.
For one it makes it easy to see if the tip worked both for the tipper and person being tipped and also it can serve as a promo so when other people see it they may want to buy the token too so they can tip as well
i get the idea, I just don't like getting those generic comments on my threads every time someone drops the trigger word in their reply
To try to be a bit constructive though, how about putting some sort of limit on the amount of comments a day, or at the very least an option to reserve against replies from the bot for those who want to opt out? I did not know you were the one who built this particular one
Totally understandable my bot has a max of 400 calls a day and some people down vote it. And that's totally fair , some other tokens leave a comment but not on that post and just tag the tipper and the person getting the tip in that separate post a bit more of an elegant solutions, but yeah I am behind DOOK it just for tipping and nothing else š¤£ also part of DUO team it has tip function but super limited
And as an example the bot is broken š¤£ and the comment helped me pick that up
!LOLZ is little bit different but yeah could be more creative with answers

Leo 2.0:
Sell pressure diminishing. Not only are there burns, we also have agents which get LEO and hold it.
Then we have myself, @jongolson, @onealfa, and @khaleelkazi who, among others, are not selling any LEO that comes in.
The deflationary model has many aspects to it.
If you arent selling your LEO, drop that in the comments here.
Not selling any leo.
Good deal. Keep the stacking going on.
i am not selling LEO.
Another HODLer who believes the future are greener pastures for LEO.
No sale at all. In fact I have plans for LSTR.
Not selling any $LEO either. For crying out loud, dont even habe 100k $LEO yet š
That could be life changing money over time. We need to see numbers that properly reflect the value of what is being created here.
well ser.....when it hits 1$, I'm selling and buying everyone drinks!!!!!!!!!!
Need $3 to top the MC of HIVE at its present pricing.
Ok, fine! 3 bucks and then I'm buying DINNER and drinks lol
In Tahiti
Perfect!!!
I am not selling, to the contrary, I keep on buying!
@josephdon211 is also among those that is selling , because I have a strong belief that Leo gonna worth much more in the future
Definitely not selling. I am buying nearly every day. Achieved 21k staked $LEO today :D
I'm not selling! I did unstake because I'll eventually move funds to sLEO but I'm mos def NOT selling. I don't blog or thread much but I do delegate.
sLEO will be a viable alternative for $LEO holders. Cannot blame anyone for thinking in that direction.
More options appearing for LEO tokens.
