You keep claiming AI is not a bubble, right?

[Versan Aljarrah - Black Swan Capitalist @VersanAljarrah]

Robert Kiyosaki once told me: “You can’t teach stupid poor people about money.”

At the time, I thought it was harsh.

Now it’s crystal clear. Some people are just wired to stay broke. They see every opportunity as a scam, every risk as danger, every cycle as doom.

Others see the asymmetry, the transfer of wealth happening right in front of us.

You can’t teach it. You either see it… or you’re screwed.

The great divide isn’t money.
It’s the vision.

[Jøhnathan @Heavenly_Race_]

Once you hit about a 20-point IQ gap, communication starts to completely break down.

It's not that the lower IQ person is "stupid" (although that can often be the case) or the higher one is arrogant, it's that you're literally operating on different systems.

A 20 point difference (roughly 1.3 standard deviations) means:

Vocabulary and abstraction levels diverge sharply. What feels like crystal clear logic to one side sounds like vague, pretentious word salad to the other. Jokes land flat. Metaphors get taken literally. Complex cause and effect chains get simplified into "this good, that bad."

Different time horizons and pattern recognition. One person thinks in months or years and sees systems, the other is locked into days or immediate rewards. Trying to explain second order effects feels like speaking another language.

Also, processing speed and working memory gaps. The higher IQ person is already three steps ahead, getting impatient. The lower IQ person feels talked down to or overwhelmed.

Both walk away frustrated.

Both have wasted each others time.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that @Ripple CEO @bgarlinghouse tattooed stars aligning on his body.

Because the stars really ARE aligning 👀 and one date keeps showing up:

• July 13, 2023 — $XRP declared NOT a security
• July 13, 2026 — @The_DTCC commences the tokenisation of $114 Trillion in assets

So I have one question…
What happens on July 13, 2029? 🤔

My neighbor bought his house in 1987 for $74,000.

He refinanced once.
He paid it off.
His property taxes are $1,800/year because of how long he's owned it.

The exact same house next door just sold for $710,000.

The 28-year-old who bought it pays $9,200/year in taxes.
And $4,100/month on the mortgage.

Same street.
Same house.
Completely different life.

We didn't just price people out of homes.

We priced them out of futures.

Two years ago I was sick and could barely get out of bed, but I still got up to record a detailed breakdown on $XRP escrow to kill the misinformation.

That explanation was recognized by @Ripple.

Yet in 2026, people are still claiming “escrow is dumping on the market” as why the math doesn’t add up.

This narrative is not only wrong, it’s embarrassingly outdated.

The escrow mechanism was built for transparency and controlled release. Period.

🇺🇸 A Texas biotech company just hatched 26 live chicks from 3D-printed artificial eggs with no shells and no hens.

First time in history a complete bird embryo developed in a fully artificial system.

And that's just the warm-up.

Colossal Biosciences is using this same tech to bring back the South Island giant moa: a 12-foot-tall, 250 kg bird that went extinct 600 years ago.

No surrogate exists on Earth big enough to hatch one. So they built the technology to do it without one.

De-extinction just went from science fiction to a construction project.

Wow

[Boring_Business @BoringBiz_]

One thing becoming increasingly clear

If you didn’t lock in your 30 year mortgage at a sub 3% rate before 2022, you missed out on ever building home equity

🚨HEDERA INTEGRATES AI AGENT KIT WITH GOOGLE!

@hedera's AI Agent Kit now supports Google’s ADK and Gemini models, meaning developers can build Hedera-powered AI agents directly within Google’s ecosystem.

This massively expands accessibility & developer reach for $HBAR!

The entire global reset explained in 4 minutes.

The system of global trade balances goes through a reset roughly every 2 decades. (1929, 1960, 1980, 2008 and 2026) This is what Iran, trade war and shipping blockades are all about.

Either these meetings with China become a Bretton Woods 2.0 or the system violently resets through a deflationary bust.

Both plans are being deployed simultaneously, which is why they've created the largest bubble since 1929.

Either China plays ball and we get a gradual deflation or it is imposed to intentionally break the system.
