$HBAR is up 500% off its lows and is finally getting the attention it deserves.

Watching this @HiddenForcesPod interview with @leemonbaird convinced me that Hedera Hashgraph is the future of Web 3.0.

Investing in people is just as important as investing in tech. I missed my chance with @elonmusk / $TSLA in 2015 and didn’t want to make that same mistake again.

$HBAR is a really great coin

Code is speech. The people pushing to ban open source and free speech are the bad guys.

[Matthew Berman @MatthewBerman]

The main metric that matters is price per task completion.

Second is speed to task completion.

Nothing else matters.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

We are in the Singularity

[Dave Blundin @DaveBlundin]

2.8 trillion parameters. Number one on frontend code arena. The largest open-weight model ever. Sputnik moment?

It’s totally mind boggling that @elonmusk can spend $16 billion on Colossus 2 for a 20 trillion parameter model, and there's a 1% cost distilled version that’s coming out of China within weeks.

Alex Karp said last week that you can’t throw all your proprietary weights over the wall to @AnthropicAI. But he didn’t give a roadmap. Here we are, a week later, and it’s suddenly a free-for-all. Intelligence wants to be free.

NVIDIA's compute is running underneath a real government AI governance system built on Hedera, and almost every article covering it online gets the details wrong.

I traced this one back to primary sources myself. Here is the version that actually checks out.

The UK government's tokenization report has a favorite: Hedera

The @HMTreasury-backed Wholesale Digital Markets report singles out the FX trades between @LloydsBank and @Aberdeen_plc, collateralized by tokenized money market funds and gilts held by @ArchaxEx on @hedera, as the UK's benchmark achievement.

The report projects tokenization could add £33B a year to the UK economy by 2035. The blueprint runs through $HBAR infrastructure.

ALL 52 REPUBLICAN SENATORS WILL VOTE FOR THE CLARITY ACT.

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

Good morning.

Since Trump started his war on Iran, 14 U.S. service members have been killed and 427 wounded as reported by the AP.

This is tragic and shouldn’t be happening.

We voted to end wars that cost our tax payers hundreds of billions to trillions of dollars and kill and injure our beloved military men and women.

We are in no danger from Iran, they can’t even hit us with a missile and all of our intelligence sources said they were no where near having a nuclear weapon.

This war was started for Israel and is now all about the Strait of Hormuz and control of oil.

And there seems to be no end in sight, with the bombing now including power facilities and desalination plants in Iran and Kuwait.

Countless innocent people’s lives will be at risk without power and especially water.

This is evil.

Most Americans hate our government dragging us into foreign wars and are disgusted we are in another senseless pointless war.

Most Americans want our government to be focused on solving problems at home and helping Americans.

I cannot believe this is where we are after all the America First promises were made in 2024.

[Daniel Dines @danieldines]

Every serious AI strategy eventually arrives at the same problem: the company was designed for people who could fill in the gaps.

AI is forcing companies to expose the operating knowledge people have always supplied without being asked: what a customer promise actually commits the company to, which exception changes the path, who owns a decision, and what can safely happen next. Much of this never had to be formalized because people carried it through judgment, memory, and relationships.

I keep hearing some version of the same hope: the next model release will automate the business. Better models will matter enormously, but intelligence is only one layer. The company still has to make the work legible by defining its objects, states, rules, permissions, gates, owners, and execution rails. That is what allows AI to contribute inside a system where people retain ownership of judgment and consequence.

This changes where AI transformation should begin. Start with one meaningful workflow. Map the work, assign the rights, define the boundary between proposal, decision, and execution, and preserve the human knowledge the workflow has quietly depended on.

Part IV of Between Panic and Euphoria, The Operating Model, is now live on my Substack. For leaders, it offers a sequence for designing the agentic enterprise. For employees, it offers a map of where durable work is moving.

@GavinSBaker @DaveBlundin Moonshots!! 🚀 ✨

[Matthew Berman @MatthewBerman]

AI has the biggest perception problem. This is concerning and urgent.

Influential people are coming out against data centers. I wonder where the misinformation is coming from. The “data centers hurting farm land” is a new one for me.

Anti AI is now a popular cause. They see billionaire and now trillionaire techies accumulating even more wealth. They see highly disruptive technology not benefitting the majority. They hear about data centers having massive demand for water, poisoning the water systems of anywhere they are built.

What they don’t hear about is the massive benefit of AI. Diseases solved. New material science. Climate change solutions. New jobs. Increased productivity. Unlocking the secrets of the universe.

Our mission @ForwardFuture is to help people understand this beautiful and abundant future. We have so much work to do.

Actions speak louder than words in crypto. After the July 11th oracle exploit, @bonzo_finance didn't just apologize—they delivered a solution.

This is a masterclass in handling a crisis and prioritizing the community. 📈 hedera-hashgraph:native $BONZO

[Bonzo Finance Labs @bonzo_finance]

Following the oracle exploit that affected Bonzo Lend on July 11th (UTC), Bonzo Finance Foundation will fund the recovery of all affected user positions as they stood prior to the incident, backed by a recovery facility committed by Hedera Foundation.

Risk/reward seems attractive again.

Lots of cheap stocks with durable competitive advantages that are going to crush numbers for the next 6-12 quarters.

Time will tell!

[George J. Brugess @gjb1million]

@MatthewBerman Same.

Trying to figure out how to rewire my brain.
