  @DanielJHannan Has Elon Musk added more than $1T in value to the world with PayPal, Neuralink, Starlink, Tesla and SpaceX? Probably there or about. Isn’t this trickle down?

  On a serious note If something major happens for me I won't turn it down. I promise I'll come back back to the city of San Francisco though. I did some work for a place called tactic and they're hiring at night so I sent him a quick application I saw I on indeed. They pay you that day with PayPal. I'm having lunch. A cool time at the AI Engineers World Fair. A drop in my air head bucket. I kept wondering why the band wasn't playing. I said come on I even yelled free bird at them. And I found out it was an open mic type thing. Goofasauras comes to Moscone West. On a serious note I did give somebody a peace sign behind my back this morning too!

  small list off the top of my head. - paypal claims for ppl trying to scam (locks up money for 3-4 weeks) - people being lazy about shipping and waiting days / weeks without sending out the cards I bought - cards getting stuck in transit or looping in the USPS system for weeks with me having nothing to show for my money. (not the sellers fault necessarily) - sending $ and then getting refunded after days / weeks just due to whatever circumstance might come up - people sending empty packages & having to open paypal claims & fight to get my money back (& having my $ locked up for weeks) - people forgetting to add 1-2 cards within the package and then having to track down those cards & then get those shipped in a diff box at a later date. i’m sure there are a few others that i didn’t mention.

  Open Standard just inverted the stablecoin market. On June 30, more than 140 companies including Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, BlackRock, BNY and Coinbase unveiled Open USD, a dollar stablecoin run by a new independent company called Open Standard. Circle, Tether and PayPal are not on the partner list. Circle's stock fell 16% the same day. The incumbent issuers keep the float: holders earn zero while the issuer collects Treasury yield on roughly $250B of reserves. Open USD pays that yield out to distributors. Partners mint and redeem for free with no volume caps, and nearly all reserve income goes to the companies that hold and move the coin, after a small management fee. This deal already existed, just never at this scale. Circle pays Coinbase roughly half of USDC reserve income for distribution. Open USD writes that agreement into the coin itself, for Stripe, Shopify, Chime and every other partner. One detail worth holding onto: the GENIUS Act bars issuers from paying yield to the coin holder, so the float income stops at the platforms. The person actually holding the coin collects the same zero as on USDT and USDC. The reason to take it seriously is distribution. Visa runs 4.9 billion payment credentials. Stripe processed $1.9 trillion in 2025 and says Open USD will be the default stablecoin across its network. Shopify moved $378 billion in GMV. No stablecoin has ever launched with that reach on day one. The open questions are real too: launch is slated for late 2026, and the payout formula, the management fee and the board seats remain undisclosed. When 140 of the largest companies in payments compete the margin on dollar tokens down to zero, the wrapper becomes a commodity. Stablecoins crossed $300B in supply and settled $33T last year, and dollars entering the digital asset ecosystem have always flowed toward bitcoin.

  You can guess what students did on that final Tuesday. Fast forward to the end of the semester: I still hadn't seen any documentation or user manual, and it was due on exam day (the first day of finals week). A week before the deadline, they told me I'd have it before our 12 PM meeting on study day (Wednesday). I got the email at 11 PM Tuesday after work. I opened the files, got pissed, shut my laptop, played some Xbox, and passed out before midnight. The technical documentation was just one page with almost nothing useful—no database schema, website languages, PayPal details, or registered emails. Just the URL and some unimportant info taking up half a page. The user manual was one and a half pages with maybe five sentences and three pictures with arrows. Zero real explanation on how to use the site.I showed up at 12 PM and waited about five minutes. No one else was there, so I texted the group. No replies. I started fixing the user manual since I'd clearly have to redo it. While working quietly, Damien finally walked in. D: "Did you get the docs?" Me: "Yeah. You guys really think this is finished?" D: "Oh yeah, it should be good to turn in." Me: "I don't know. I think we should add more—this is for our client, and she won't understand it. Where are Jeff and Kirk?" D: "Hahaha, we all got messed up last night after finishing the docs. They're probably still passed out. I'm turning it in tomorrow. If you want to add anything, go ahead, but whatever I have is going in. I think it's ready, so I'm not doing more. I have other classes to study for. I already have an A in this class, and Kirk and Jeff do too, so they don't care."He said the magic words, then left with a flash drive. I went straight upstairs and told Professor Matt everything. I said I didn't want to leave my client hanging—yes, my client, not ours. Matt said he fully understood and even praised me for staying on top of it and protecting the client's experience with our students. He asked why. I told him, "What you're getting tomorrow for 'our' project is completely unacceptable. It's unfair to us and especially to our client." I showed him the website (which he liked) and the terrible docs. I asked for an extra week to finish proper documentation and a user guide—I had a clear plan. Matt agreed, but told me to forget the docs since I knew the site. Just focus on the client .So I created video tutorials with narration, drove to her shop to demonstrate everything and show her where the videos were. I even built a simple desktop program with buttons that opened the exact video she needed, so she wouldn't have to hunt through folders. I gave her my contact info and said I'd be around over the summer if she needed help with the site or anything else. Afterward, I updated Matt, who had his own update. He nearly failed the rest of the group because they slid an unmarked USB under his door. He only accepted it after they emailed to confirm he got it. Matt also called the client, who confirmed I was the only one who ever showed up to meetings. As a result, anyone in my group who had an A going into the project dropped to a C. Anyone with a B failed. Damien's GPA took a hit from this four-hour class. Kirk and Jeff both failed—Jeff couldn't graduate, and Kirk had to retake it next semester. My grade, which was an 84 before the project, jumped to an A. The next year, Damien asked how I did because he was confused about his own final grade. I just said I did fine and got an A. He still has no idea why. Don't mess with me and my grades, and I won't mess with you.

  One thing I didn't know until recently: after selling PayPal, Elon Musk put almost all of his money into Tesla and SpaceX. At one point, he reportedly had to borrow money just to cover personal expenses while trying to keep both companies alive. That's a level of conviction most people would never take. I've been keeping an eye on the SpaceX tokenized stock on BingX, and it's interesting to see how much attention it's getting now. Whether you're bullish or skeptical, SpaceX has become one of the most talked-about companies in the market. If you had the chance, would you buy into the story or wait for the hype to cool down?

  The Biggest Banks On Earth Are Creating Their Own Digital Currencies. The future of money is being rewritten,and most people have no idea. Here is who is building their own digital currency: Bank of America. Goldman Sachs. Citi. Deutsche Bank. UBS. Barclays. TD Bank. Santander. All jointly exploring a digital currency pegged to G7 currencies on public blockchains. PayPal already launched PYUSD. Walmart and Amazon are reportedly exploring their own coins. Mastercard just bought a stablecoin startup for $1.8 billion. 20+ companies are in line to issue stablecoins through Anchorage Digital. Right now USDT and USDC control 94% of the stablecoin market — $260 billion combined. They built this space from nothing. But the banks coming for them manage TRILLIONS. Not billions. Trillions. So who wins? Tether and Circle have speed. First mover advantage. Crypto-native trust. But banks have regulation, infrastructure and the most powerful brand in finance — trust from your grandmother. Here is what this means for YOU: Sending money across borders? Seconds instead of days. Near zero fees instead of $45 wire charges. 24/7 settlement instead of waiting for Monday morning. Your bank account, your paycheck, your rent payment — all moving on blockchain rails within 3-5 years. You just won’t know it because it will feel exactly the same. The best technology is invisible. That is what is being built right now. The banks that laughed at crypto are now building it. The future of money is digital. solana:Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB base:0x833589fcd6edb6e08f4c7c32d4f71b54bda02913

  @PorraDeene @TheCryptoSquire The issue isn't adoption friction—it's that most merchants prefer instant settlement over volatility hedging. Stablecoins solve this but then you're just using faster PayPal.
