Amplification vs. automation.

Most CEOs only use AI for amplification—it makes you faster, but you still initiate.

The real leverage is automation: AI runs on a schedule whether you think about it or not.

7 of 12 CEO tasks can be automated.

Know what you HOLD

[Aron @aron_xyz]

By 2028, independent workers will dominate.

And according to @Runapay's latest data, 70% will quit if you miss just one payment.

Nearly half of gig workers cite payment delays as their biggest challenge, while 31% struggle with excessive fees eating into their already thin earnings.

When payments are late, the damage goes beyond simple frustration.

- 40% of workers face real financial strain when their money doesn't arrive on time.

- 29% experience significant emotional stress, and a quarter can't even pay their bills or are forced to dip into their savings just to survive.

For business owners, this directly impacts your bottom line.

Nearly a third of workers will switch platforms entirely over persistent payment issues. Content creators are even more brutal - 44% would jump ship immediately.

For businesses that recognize this early, there's a massive opportunity.

The businesses that actually fix their payment systems gain powerful strategic advantages:

1. They attract top talent when competitors can't
2. They demonstrate execution excellence that extends beyond payments
3. They position themselves as innovators in a field full of followers

What these workers actually want isn't complicated.

45% want instant payouts.
37% want lower fees.

And 60% prefer digital wallet options like PayPal or Venmo over traditional methods.

There's also a hidden opportunity almost no one is capitalizing on yet. When you offer instant payouts to digital gift cards with just a 2-5% bonus, nearly half of workers will take part of their payment this way.

For direct sellers, that number jumps to 70%.

The solution comes down to 3 actions:

1. Prioritize speed and reliability above everything else
2. Give workers complete control over payment timing
3. Minimize fees while making them transparent

In today's fierce talent competition, payment innovation isn't just operational efficiency.

It's your competitive differentiator.

We've already connected thousands of merchants across multiple countries.

When companies need to send rewards globally, pay insurance claims, or handle customer refunds - they use our infrastructure.

It's the same proven system Starbucks pioneered, now available to everyone.

I rejected conventional education paths yet ended up at Cambridge.

Failed the first time I applied.

Went back and got accepted the second time.

The difference? I learned the game.

Most people fail once and quit.

I failed, studied my failures, adjusted my approach, and tried again with better information.

The difference – intelligent persistence.

Not just working hard, but working hard & smart

Know when to push through and when to change your approach.

Einstein has a quote: “You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it.”

The real skill is learning from every failure, changing your mind so when the next attempt comes up, you are no longer the same person - you are someone new.

There are more Arabs living peacefully as normal citizens in Israel than there are Jews in all of Europe.

Maybe we can compare what was a real genocide vs. an absolutely fictitious one.

$ANSEM The Black Bull charging tf out 🐂🀄️

launched 3 weeks ago → $320M MC + over $60M vol rn

Ansem holding 60% bag but has airdropped $7M+ already (more cooking), pushing 1M holders (108k+ now)

Zero dumps. Community rallying and the trenches feeling alive again after the longest time. Ansem has beenTransparent asf.

Size in now for easy 2x at least.

[npm @2xQuant]

Retail loves euphoric stories, most of them retails are already degenerate gamblers already not just in trading meme. My cousin who doesn’t know anything about memes messaged me about buying some ansem days ago cause he saw it on TikTok and actually was throwing jabs at me for not putting him on the money making opportunity earlier. So it works, maybe not at a grande scale but it works…

After a wild 2.5 years, today is my last day @Immutable. I'm incredibly proud and grateful to have been part of Immutable's journey, in particular, to the incredible humans who work there. The concentration of kindness, passion, and sheer intellectual horsepower is unmatched.

[Milky B @0xMilky]

As someone who unironically still loves Gods Unchained and STEPN, but is yet to find the promised metaverse experience that NFT-focused web3 games don’t give, really excited by projects like @biomesAW which are working on fully on-chain metaverse projects. Watching on 👀

[UD @udfromden]

Everyone burying Ethereum right now
hasn't looked at a single on-chain metric.

Let me fix that.

December 30, 2025:

ETH L1 processed 2.2 million transactions
in a single day.

New all-time record.
Beats the 2021 bull market peak.

Average fee: $0.17.

Let me put that in context:

2021 bull peak:
High fees. Congested. Unusable for retail.
"ETH is too expensive" was the valid criticism.

December 2025:
Record transactions. 17 cents each.
The criticism is now factually dead.

But the narrative lives on.

Because narratives outlive data
on Crypto Twitter by approximately 18 months.

The same accounts screaming
"ETH is dead" in 2025:

Said the same thing in 2023.
And 2022.
And 2019.
And 2017.

ETH is the most reliably
"about to die" asset
in the history of financial markets.

8 years of dying.
Still #2 by market cap.
Still #1 by developer activity.
Still the chain where
serious money actually settles.

Now here's the part that'll hurt:

The reason ETH price underperformed BTC?

Not because ETH is broken.

Because ETH is being used.

Low fees = less ETH burned.
Less ETH burned = less deflationary pressure.
Less pressure = slower price appreciation.

The thing people are calling a failure
is literally the product working as designed.

Cheap transactions are the goal.

They achieved the goal.

And got punished in price for it.

That's not a broken asset.

That's a misunderstood one.

The loudest "ETH is dead" accounts:

Either holding SOL bags
or haven't opened Etherscan once
while forming their opinion.

2.2 million transactions.
$0.17 each.
New all time record.

The obituary writers
were wrong again.

They'll be wrong next time too.

Let's see what @waleswoosh has to say on the longs he has placed on $MEGA to hedge 💀🥲

[UD @udfromden]

pfps were never about hiding. they were a bet that ideas > credentials.
the ones switching now aren't "growing up". they're the ones who never actually believed in the first place.
conviction doesn't need a headshot to feel legitimate.
