As a shrink I must note, it is ‘therapeutic’ to look towards good things happening. Augustus Doricko is bringing water to the world, Rainmaker @ADoricko. Dennis Karpes is regreening deserts around the world, @justdiggit. Will O’brien is rewilding our oceans boosting biodiversity, restoring ocean health, @UlyssesEcoEng and Diego Saez Gil is reforesting the world, Ulysses EcoEng @dsaezgil. What can I say, never underestimate humanity.
hazel network has 600 banks committed through participate for tokenized deposit settlement. loan participations currently take 5-7 days via wire. hazel does it in minutes on ethereum mainnet. that's a $1T+ market with genuine friction to eliminate. the catch: every avit stablecoin that leaves the bank consortium becomes a custodia bank liability. custodia has ~$500m in assets. if hazel scales to even $10b in external float, one small wyoming bank becomes the counterparty for hundreds of institutions. the B2B settlement layer is where this wins. anyone thinking hazel competes with USDC for DeFi users is missing the plot. banks don't need to beat circle at composability. they need to stop losing deposits. Q4 2026 launch to customers will tell us if the UX holds up or if this stays an interbank settlement tool
It is hilarious watching grown men freak out about a down day in stocks while the S&P is up 7.5% YTD and the national government can’t stop printing money.

@SteveHiltonx Our brightest and best deserve more than a special hour or two. Cluster them in A+ classes and let learn more faster. Why? Because they can, they are wired for it. Don’t clip their wings. Johnny didnt make the cut? So…? Let him build emotional stamina, it will serve him well.

autonomous robot driving through the field at night. no chemicals. no pesticides. just UV light killing pathogens and pests while everyone sleeps. this is @tricrobotics.
this is what chemical-free pest control looks like at scale.
The sheer scale of a trillion dollars can be hard to comprehend. Let me put it in perspective. You would be able to buy 42 miles of high speed rail in California with that much money.
More than five years after the UC system lifted its standardized testing requirement, a coalition led by UC Berkeley math professors argues the drop in students’ math levels is “severe.” https://t.co/f7TmRT0AuA
The debasement of the US dollar has been highly destructive to American society.
We have young people who can't afford a home, gambling and porn ads are being shoved in our face, and a large portion of people are walking around in a state of depression or anxiety.
We went from long-term thinking and strong morals to a population of speculators who can't focus for 5 minutes.
It is all tied back to the dollar's destruction.
@sjkokinda Good job re CofStates. I agree. We must not open that door. The original CofStates ran away with the ball. It would not be what people think it would be.
