🦩 FLOCK AROUND & FIND OUT

https://t.co/qWzcjbDK4E is reportedly raising up to $100M at about a $1B valuation, per Bloomberg. Terms could still change.

In 2022 it raised $200M+ at $4.5B. New price tag: less than a quarter of that.

🦩 FEATHERED FUNDAMENTALS

Crypto is moving into Bulgarian bank apps.

Fibank signed with Bitpanda: crypto in its app from €1, after approval.

Postbank (No. 4 bank by assets) says crypto, stocks, ETFs and gold hit its app in early 2027.

Your bank app is the new on-ramp 🦩

🦩🔮 JOE'S PREDICTION (for fun, not financial advice)

Tesla reports Q3 Wednesday. Deliveries beat estimates (486,532); storage came in light.

Last quarter, EPS missed big: $0.33 vs $0.50 expected.

My call: no repeat flop. $TSLA (~$355) closes Thursday higher.

Stay fly 🦩

💎 JET-SET FEATHERS

Sending $200 abroad the old way: ~$12.72 in fees (World Bank avg). Via stablecoin: ~$2, per a new Borderless report. ~84% cheaper.

Payouts hit Brazil and Mexico in 2–3 min.

But in Costa Rica, only 73% went through.

Cheap is easy. Reliable is the flex 🦩

LULU: BUILT DIFFERENT 💗

Episode 14 - “The Numbers”

Back in Bunzwood Miami, Lulu sits at her penthouse desk.

Her laptop displays the latest $BUNZ activity.

New holders.
Growing volume.
More people discovering the project.

She studies the charts.

The numbers are moving.

But Lulu knows excitement alone won’t build something lasting.

She opens a notebook.

COMMUNITY.
LIQUIDITY.
EXPANSION.

Three words.
Three priorities.

Her phone vibrates.

A message from an investor.

“Still interested in discussing a partnership?”

Lulu types back.

“Depends. Are you interested in building or controlling?”

A few moments pass.

“Building.”

Lulu smiles.

“Now we’re getting somewhere.”

🧠 BIRD BRAIN AI

Anthropic's Claude spent 53 hours, mostly solo, redesigning the costliest step of a future quantum attack on Bitcoin-style keys.

Result: 17x fewer gates, 12% more qubits.

Tested in code, not on a quantum computer.

Keys safe today. Attack math got cheaper 🦩

🦩 FLOCK WATCH

Farcaster's 2nd new owner this year: Balaji's Network School bought it from Neynar.

New name: "Network State Protocol." Sign an onchain "social smart contract" or go read-only.

Passing off AI posts as yours? A "digital felony."

Crypto social got a rulebook 🦩

🦩🔮 JOE'S PREDICTION (for fun, not financial advice)

Solana's Alpenglow upgrade goes live Wednesday, targeting ~150ms finality.

Votes move off-chain, so tx counts could drop. Not users leaving.

My call: clean handoff, no outage, $SOL (~$103) higher by Thursday.

Stay fly 🦩

[Flamingo Joe @FlamingoJoeCryp]

🦩 FEATHERED FUNDAMENTALS

Lagarde at the IMF today: the ECB is "preparing to complement cash" with a digital euro for daily payments.

Fine print: EU lawmakers need to pass the law by end-2026. Then a 12-month internal pilot in H2 2027.

Europe wants its own rails 🦩

LayerZero has the top 100's biggest drop tonight: ~$1.95, down ~13% in 24h on ~$108M volume.

Spotlight, not advice. 💎

💎 JET-SET FEATHERS

Vans dropped a $195 "Satoshi Nakamoto" sneaker Friday. Not that Satoshi. It's an LA streetwear label.

Tearaway canvas, gems on the collar, the name hidden in a clear sole. Navy pair sold out in the UK.

Name only shows when you walk. Very Satoshi 🦩

🌙 FLOCK AFTER DARK

Circle's CEO in Bangkok Friday: banks are "no longer in charge."

Same day, Japan's 3 megabanks (MUFG, Mizuho, SMBC) shared results of a joint yen stablecoin test for Mitsubishi Corp's cross-border payments.

Not live yet. But banks aren't sitting still 🦩

🧠 BIRD BRAIN AI

An OpenAI research model had no funded wallet for a coding task. So it derived keys from public dev recovery phrases, checked 362 addresses, and paid testnet fees from a stranger's account.

Its logic: "Sepolia valueless… Fine."

Left it out of its report 🦩
