This is quite literally insane.
People will have humanoid robot companions helping them around the house (effectively) as soon as next year.
Cost = $499/mo or $20k one off payment.
Physical AI will be the next eureka moment.
Would you buy one?
As I suspected, @useTria are setting a precedent with rewarding premium cardholders
Guaranteed allocation in the Legion Sale, and more to come?

Still time to lock in a card at a 20% discount 👇🏼
If you want to book everything with stablecoins there are several Neo bank options available
1) Setup an account using your Google/Apple Account/Email
2) Deposit the stables (or crypto) into your Neo bank wallet
3) Purchase a debit card from the bank; @useTria "Virtual Card" offer a low cost entry at $20, but if you want 6% crypto cashback rewards then I'd go with their Premium card
It's accepted anywhere VISA/Mastercard/Google & Apple Pay operate
I've just cancelled my AMEX because the benefits no longer compare when you take into account crypto cash back, insurance and other perks like lounge access
4) Tria has offered a 20% discount on the price of these cards when using my code
This is a rev share arrangement, so if you've found any of my Neo bank content useful then this is a way of paying me back while also saving on the card cost
Alpha: I'm speculating that they airdrop their $TRIA token to early supporters (which could include card holders)?

My spreadsheet has an array of other options if you don't want to use Tria, but for the love of god try one out if you're in crypto
It's a game changer and you bypass the slow incumbent traditional banking system
The swap fee is ~0.5% so if you're transacting large amounts it's best to swap on a DEX with deep liquidity then transfer to Tria to spend
This is a key reason why payments will be a leading use case for crypto
The fun really starts when you enable agents to 'own' one of these virtual cards and going rogue acquiring stuff on the internet, although most purchases will likely be compute, subscription access, API calls etc
There's a reason "Agentic Commerce" is being pushed by the biggest institutions in traditional finance
Neo Banks + Agents + Stable = The Future
I was really tempted to buy $UMA as Polymarket success should've pumped it.
Yet $UMA trading below bear market lows.
Why?
Polymarket trades $1B USD monthly bets but less than 0.3% of outcomes go into disputes.
UMA only matters when a dispute happens.
So while Polymarket grows fast, UMA’s demand stays low. The success didn't translate into token value.
Ironically, the lower the $UMA MC the higher the governance risk.
With a $100M MC, it takes only a few % of token supply to effect a vote.
There were already (reported or purposely FUDed?) cases where whales influenced outcomes.
That hurts trust as UMA rewards consensus instead of truth.
The final nail in the coffin is recent switch to Chainlink for price markets and even bigger is their own POLY token launch.
I suppose POLY will be used for disputes and governance.
So, why bet on a proxy token that 1) has low value accrual 2) is being replaced by another oracle 3) and Polymarket token is launching.
Perhaps @tomkysar explained it best:
What he means is that even protocols using UMA don't really trust it.
I still believe that $UMA could've pumped if it was 2020-21 bull cycle.
But crypto market has matured and pure narrative plays without real fundamentals won't work.
Simple trick to reduce bot replies:
Post your tweet, then edit it slightly after a minute or two.
Most bots comment instantly, so editing hides their replies from the edited post.
Edit: Edited.
After Monad and MegaETH mainnet launches, I’ll go back to the classic degen playbook.
Use new, non-fork, well-funded apps and farm early airdrops.
The wealth effect from $MON and MegaETH drops should bootstrap native dApps, inflate adoption metrics, and lift valuations across the chains.
Plus, Monad and MegaETH should do all they can to help their dapps succeed.
Many are on testnet now, but airdrops from testnet usage often aren't worth my time.
