Intelligence must draw on memory. The mind must not simply compile data — as an algorithm now does more quickly than we can — but recall lived experiences, which contain depths of meaning that only the human soul can recognize, and connect more deeply with the goodness of these experiences. Everything that is good begins “with the Spirit” and thus possesses a breath, a dynamism and a sense of communion that, once experienced, are engraved upon the heart. https://t.co/Ij21tkb3qT
HUGE: 🇺🇸 The SEC has approved 3x leveraged Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs for the first time ever.
The CLARITY Act failed, but the SEC is going ALL-IN on crypto!
Ethereum isn't a coin.
It's the settlement layer for the next financial system, and most people still price it like a tech stock that missed earnings.
Here's why $ETH could be the most asymmetric bet of this decade 🧵👇
As you become an adult, you realize that things around you weren't just always there; people made them happen. But only recently have I started to internalize how much tenacity *everything* requires. That hotel, that park, that railway. The world is a museum of passion projects.
Almost all of tokenized credit's onchain growth in September was on @Arbitrum One, which added $90.0 million. No other chain added more than $2 million.
With CLARITY stalled, I expect the SEC, CFTC, and Treasury to advance rules under existing law, banks to expand Bitcoin custody and loans against it, and more capital to favor Bitcoin and digital credit. GENIUS supports stablecoin adoption. Progress need not wait for Congress.
CLARITY failed. Now DeFi needs to win through adoption.
Build products millions of people want. Become too important to ignore. Regulation will have to catch up.
The Uber path.
The Venezuelans I know want American investment in their country—they just want these deals to be made with a legitimate government that represents the will of the Venezuelan people, not an illegitimate regime trying to stay in power by striking billion-dollar deals with Trump.
La diáspora venezolana fue fundamental y extremadamente vocal y activista para derrotar a la izquierda en Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador, Perú, y lograr el triunfo de @JMilei, @ABDELAESPRIELLA, @Rodrigo_PazP, @joseantoniokast, @KeikoFujimori, @DanielNoboaOk, entre otros.
Solo pedimos un poco de reciprocidad, que no apaguen sus voces y nos acompañen en el llamado de elecciones libres para sacar a los criminales comunistas del poder también en Venezuela, y que finalmente los venezolanos puedan regresar a su país y evitar otra crisis migratoria.
SECRETARY RUBIO: The left-wing destroyed Venezuela. The left-wing destroyed Cuba. The left-wing destroyed Nicaragua. The left-wing has basically destroyed every country they've gotten ahold of in the hemisphere.
URGENT ALERT
The world must know what is happening to Lieutenant Colonel Igbert Marín Chaparro.
After fully serving an unjust sentence, a new case is being fabricated to hand him the maximum 30-year sentence. The regime accuses him of crimes allegedly committed while held PRISONER and INCOMMUNICADO.
His family continues to report the severe deterioration of his health.
Venezuela demands justice.
ALERTA
El mundo debe conocer el brutal atropello que el régimen pretende cometer contra el teniente coronel Igbert Marín Chaparro.
Tras haber cumplido la totalidad de una condena absolutamente injusta, ahora intentan fabricar un nuevo caso para imponerle la pena máxima de 30 años.
Ahora lo acusan de delitos que supuestamente cometió mientras permanecía PRESO e incomunicado!!!
Además, su familia ha denunciado reiteradamente el grave deterioro de su salud.
Venezuela exige justicia.
Venezuela es un país rico, merece mejor calidad de vida, los acuerdos que se hagan, que sea verdaderamente al beneficio de los venezolanos y cambios que el país necesita urgente.
