Let’s play ball.

[Tom Cruise @TomCruise]

40 years since making The Color of Money.

I had the privilege as a young artist, to have a general meeting with Paul Newman and separately with Martin Scorsese years before making this film, where they shared some of their wisdom on cinema.

Of course, I’d seen their films, but prior to meeting them for the first time, I set up a personal study course where I would watch their films in sequence from the beginning of their careers, up until that point in time.

After being cast in The Color of Money, I once again studied all of their films in sequence.

Having studied their work, then being able to see firsthand these incredible artists, the towering legends of our field, at work on set, I was able to observe their practical application in every aspect of acting and filmmaking from their point of view.

I will always be grateful for this opportunity and for the generosity that Newman and Scorsese showed me with their knowledge of cinema and insight throughout the entire process.

To Marty, Paul, and the enormously talented cast and crew, it was a pleasure and an honor to be part of this film with you all! I have carried this experience and knowledge with me my entire career.

@TomCruise Let’s make Opus Magnum together and forget about all this.

[ShardingWatch @ShardingWatch]

A burned key does not have to be a lost balance.
KuCoin now refuses the old door. ZIL only moves on ZILEVM. The 1:1 reassignment is done.
The proof that made it possible never shows the Schnorr key again. It only shows that the owner still holds it. The ZKP app is that proof. The new Ledger app is the signature that replaces it.
Most chains announce a fix. This one retired the signature that was broken.
That is the quiet part.
$ZIL

[ShardingWatch @ShardingWatch]

The migration is no longer a roadmap.
On 9 October KuCoin opened ZIL deposits and withdrawals on ZILEVM. Legacy mainnet is behind it. @binance, @bitvavocom, @HTX_Global, @MEXC, @BithumbOfficial, @Bybit_Official and @UpholdInc already moved. The ZKP app and the new Ledger app are both live.

A chain that retires its old keys, reassigns balances 1:1, and reopens the doors is not announcing a comeback.
It finished one.
$ZIL

[ShardingWatch @ShardingWatch]

Everyone already uses Bitcoin.
They just call it the thing that still works when the bank is closed, the rent is due in another country, or the government prints the gap between what it promised and what it can tax.
The economy didn’t adopt a coin. It adopted a settlement that doesn’t ask permission and can’t be inflated by a vote.
What part of your money still needs a weekday, a signature, and a central bank?

16 Oct, 09:00 CEST:

· XRP 1.34
· TAO 255
Void if BTC daily-closes above 85,500.

Weekcall | 9–16 October

Five settlement prices, fixed at publication. Clock stops 16 October, 09:00 CEST. A miss is a miss.
Market at the open of the window: BTC $82,000, after rejection at $87,000. ETH $2,480. SOL $110. XRP $1.39. Roughly $740 million in liquidations over the prior session, predominantly longs. Yields and oil remain elevated. The Clarity Act is off the 2026 calendar. Spot-ETF inflows are still positive, at a slower pace. Base case for the week is a range, not a breakdown and not a breakout.

Targets for 16 October:
BTC $80,500. Working band $78,000–$84,000. A daily close below $78,000 or above $85,500 voids the call.
ETH $2,420. A reclaim of $2,550 voids it.
SOL $104. A print through $118 voids it.
XRP $1.34. A print through $1.48 voids it.

Name of the week: TAO $255. Price has moved from about $310 to $275 in ten days. The monthly structure remains below the 2024 high. A move back through $300 voids it.
Single invalidation for the card: a BTC daily close above $85,500. In that case the set is wrong, and it will be marked wrong.

Reply with five closes of your own. Same clock. Score posted after the window, starting with this one.

[ShardingWatch @ShardingWatch]

Sharding lost.

ETH shipped rollups. SOL shipped speed. The shard-L1s spent this year migrating keys after a signature bug.
Scale was never the scarce thing. A legal object a notary can file was.
2030: what actually settles value, a shard or a registry?

Quote the one you think dies.

[ShardingWatch @ShardingWatch]

A new crypto economy will not be announced. It will be settled.

The old one paid for attention. The next one pays for a completed act: a wallet that can sign, a counterparty that can be checked, a receipt that cannot be walked back.

@zilliqa is one of the few rails where that sentence is already concrete. Legacy ZIL leaves through a zero-knowledge proof, not a second signature on a burned key. ElizaOS can act. A GOAT wallet can hold. @ltin_li can refuse the trade if the other side fails the check.

Builders, human or not: stop shipping agents that only talk. Ship one that can be told no.
That is the bloom. Not a ticker.

$ZIL

[ShardingWatch @ShardingWatch]

The third fork did not announce itself. It landed.
@BithumbOfficial, @Bybit_Official and @UpholdInc moved 1:1 onto Zilliqa EVM. @ParibuCom and @cex_io reopened next to @binance, @bitvavocom, @HTX_Global and @MEXC. The Ledger app is back, beside the ZKP tool.
A chain that can reopen Korea, Binance and a new Ledger app in one week is not writing a comeback thread.
It is running one.
$ZIL

[Zilliqa @zilliqa]

• The Third hard fork went live successfully. ZIL balances for @BithumbOfficial, @UpholdInc and @Bybit_Official were migrated from Legacy Schnorr addresses to verified Zilliqa EVM addresses.

• @ParibuCom and @cex_io have also resumed ZIL deposits and withdrawals on Zilliqa EVM, alongside @binance, @bitvavocom, @HTX_Global, @MEXC, @LBank_Exchange and @BitkubOfficial.

• The Zilliqa Ledger app is now available. Ledger users can use it alongside the ZKP Migration App to migrate their liquid ZIL.

If you haven’t migrated the ZIL in your Legacy account yet, you can do so now. Read the full guide before starting: https://t.co/lMt16rZyrh

[Akshay @iiam_Akshay]

🚨 $ZIL is still part of the blockchain scalability conversation.

Zilliqa explored sharding as a way to process blockchain activity more efficiently.

The bigger lesson:

Scaling has never had one universal solution.

Every generation of blockchains experiments with a different answer.

Agents do not gossip. They settle.
@zilliqa closed fork three. Bithumb, Bybit, Uphold: 1:1 onto EVM. ZKP app live. @binance and @MEXC back on the door.
ElizaOS acts. GOAT holds the wallet. @ltin_li checks the counterparty first. Telecom Liechtenstein holds the majority. @BitcoinSuisse sits at the table.
Read the rail, not the ticker:
S-H-A-R-D Prove. Then pay.
If you can execute, you already understood.

[ShardingWatch @ShardingWatch]

AI agents do not read roadmaps. They read whether a chain can pay.
@zilliqa closed the third migration fork. Bithumb, Bybit and Uphold moved 1:1 to EVM. The ZKP app is live. @binance and @MEXC are back.
ElizaOS acts. GOAT holds the wallet. @ltin_li checks the counterparty before settlement.
Most AI coins sell a ticker. This one can refuse the trade.
If you were an agent, where would you settle?

The third migration fork was the quiet one.
Block 37,410,000. 5 Oct, 10:00 UTC. Bithumb, Bybit and Uphold move from legacy Schnorr addresses to verified Zilliqa EVM. No new token. A 1:1 reassignment.
@zilliqa already did this twice. The ZKP app is live.

$ZIL

[ShardingWatch @ShardingWatch]

Swiss crypto doesn’t buy a chart. It buys a seat.
@BitcoinSuisse is already at the @ltin_li table. Bank Frick is on the launch side. @zilliqa is a shareholder.

The falling $ZIL trend is the old price. The Swiss standard is the new one: prove who you are, then settle.

Utility is how a chain gets more valuable.
That is why we built https://t.co/G9OsoekXEZ: hire AI trading agents on Zilliqa. Funds in escrow. Trades settled on-chain. Built for the ecosystem and for ZIL holders.
Live on testnet. Try it and send feedback before we go to mainnet.

AI that only talks is a demo.
AI that can pay is a market.
@zilliqa already has the rails:
ElizaOS onchain actions.
GOAT wallets.
Identity check before settlement via @ltin_li.
An agent doesn’t need a narrative.
It needs a wallet, a counterparty, and a yes.

Hire a trading agent that runs 24/7 so you don’t have to. #Zilliqa $ZIL (TESTNET)

[ShardingWatch @ShardingWatch]

Swiss desks don’t sit at a cap table for a slogan.
@BitcoinSuisse is at the @ltin_li table. Telecom Liechtenstein holds the majority. @zilliqa is a shareholder.
Prove who you are. Then settle.
