Andrew Yang's Noble Mobile acquired @helium Mobile last week. As part of the deal, Noble will use the Helium Network, which today runs across roughly 139,000 community hotspots and serves 2.6 million daily users.
Consumer crypto that actually works tends to look like this. The user doesn't know the network runs on a blockchain. They get a cheaper phone plan. The hotspot operators get paid in tokens, which settle on @Solana. The infrastructure is doing real work in the background.
The companies that scale crypto for normal people are the ones that hide the crypto. Helium has been doing that for years and the user numbers prove it.
.@Mastercard launched always-on stablecoin settlement on @Solana on June 3. 3.7 billion Mastercard and Maestro cards in circulation across 210+ countries. The existing fraud safeguards, security standards, and dispute processes stay intact.
Card networks moving settlement to a public blockchain is the kind of decision that gets made years before the press release. The consumer experience doesn't change. The integration happens on the backend between the network and its banking partners.
When a network of this size routes settlement through a chain, the chain has effectively been picked. Worldpay is already on the same Solana Developer Platform for merchant settlement. Two of the largest names in card processing showing up in the same place isn't a coincidence.
BREAKING: Nithya Raman just defeated Spencer Pratt after giving a concession speech on election night and then getting the largest number in almost every mail-in ballot dump.
They just cheated in an election right in front of our eyes.
When statistically impossible things happen, we should not be expected as a society to accept them. Evidence of fraud isn’t limited to video surveillance. Statistical impossibilities are hard evidence of fraud.
I don’t want to exchange or save in a currency or good that inflates 3-15% every year.
They do it to keep you spending, for “GDP”.
Bring me either a decentralized, digital standard or the gold standard. More Gold can be MIned, sure. Bitcoin will likely have encryption problems, eventually.
I dont care which. But either has to be better than an arbitrary piece of paper the government inflates at its will.
SpaceX filed for what could be the largest IPO in history, but ARK believes it is not the only one. Investors should also focus on what comes next.
We have been tracking this pipeline for years. The ARK Venture Fund holds positions in six companies with active IPO timelines. Each of these reached public market scale in private markets.
The median age of a US company at IPO has reached 12 years, up from 5 in 1999. The window where the most value is created is increasingly happening before a company lists.
ARK’s Global Head of Commercial Strategy Renato Leggi published a full guide on the potential IPO wave and how we are positioned. I would encourage anyone evaluating this opportunity to read it.
Seems like the last attack before the next run a few months out.
I just love the doomers when Blackrock’s $IBIT owns…oh wait, 773,896 bitcoin.
But yea, it’s going to Zero man, because Blackrock loves to throw away $50 Billion.
That will please their shareholders which is, oh, idk every public and private pension fund in America, probably.
just look at the timeline chad
- demis hassabis, deepmind → isomorphic labs, $2.7B
- brian, coinbase → newlimit, $3.1B
- sama, openai → retro biosciences, $1.2B
- jeff the chad from amazon → altos labs, $3B
- larry, oracle → $430M into aging research
- jensen from nvidia → backing programmable biology
- dario, anthropic → acquired coefficient bio, $400M
the most successful builders of the digital age are all being pulled toward the next biggest frontier, biology
aging is basically an engineering challenge
bio/acc.
@Micro2Macr0@fundstrat yup. all the indexes show it- mean reversion in the cards, but that also doesn't mean laggards don't catch up, or certain names trade sideways for a couple months- same story, you now how it goes. Probably a good time to sell Calls depending on your names.
