🚨 The banks spent months fighting to stop stablecoins from paying YOU interest. Now 21 of them are launching their OWN.
Goldman Sachs, Citi, Wells Fargo and others are reportedly putting $270 MILLION into a joint stablecoin venture.
Here's how the business works.
You exchange a dollar for a stablecoin. The issuer invests the reserves, often in Treasury bills, and earns interest.
You get the dollar-backed token. They keep the yield.
The GENIUS Act already prohibits issuers from paying holders interest directly. Banks have been lobbying to restrict rewards paid through exchanges, too.
Their concern? Customers might move trillions out of traditional bank deposits.
So the banks aren't against stablecoins. They want a piece of the business, without having to compete on how much interest you get.

This is the future. Curious people now have access to PhD level teams of AI agents on any subject to make new discoveries & innovations.
This is how we get to Mars. 🚀🚀🚀 @elonmusk

The French government exposed crypto users across the country & now when you successfully defend yourself & thwart an attack they throw you in jail. The EU does not want you being self sovereign with crypto.
France is the global hot spot for wrench attacks.
A crypto holder in France scared off kidnappers by firing a Glock from his window. A court just sentenced him to 30 months in prison.
The case turns on where the attackers were when he pulled the trigger.
The facts, per French press reports:
• The attempted kidnapping happened at La Roche-sur-Yon, in Vendée, on 31 October 2026
• The victim, a 23-year-old identified as Ayman R., fired from a window. He reportedly said he did it out of panic
• The attackers fled without taking him and left behind a vehicle reported as stolen
• Prosecutors first opened an attempted murder investigation and police arrested him
• The sentence is 30 months in prison, plus a 15-year ban on carrying a weapon
Prosecutors called the shot revenge, not self-defense, because the attackers were already leaving. French law requires a response proportionate to an immediate threat, and prosecutors argued that once the attackers were running, there was none.
France has been hit by a wave of crypto kidnappings, and in April 2026 prosecutors charged 88 people in connected cases. A man scared off his attackers, then got prison for the shot.
The Crypto Mark of the Beast Playbook
Step 1: They Scare You
Centralized exchanges get hacked. Custodial platforms collapse. Users get wiped out. Then they point at the wreckage and tell you crypto isn't safe. The truth? It was never crypto that failed. It was trusting someone else with your keys.
Step 2: They Herd You
Then they sell you the "safe" option: Wall Street ETFs. Settled in cash. Manipulated at will. Same mistake, bigger middleman. You hand over your keys. You stop being your own bank.
Step 3: Bury The Real Stuff
Truly decentralized projects? Ignored. Influencers, KOLs and media get paid to look away while they pump 100% pre-mined scams and crypto Trojan horses that can freeze your funds in an instant.
Step 4: Lock The Cage
Finally comes the AI control grid. The crypto mark of the beast.
Say something they don't like online? Your stablecoins and crypto are frozen. Instantly in your ETF or new crypto “bank”.
Speak out against government corruption? Locked out of your $$ for 24 hours. A little hunger will fix you.
Question your annual mandatory vaccine? A week without access to you money will correct you.
Question the poison additives in your food publicly? A month cut off will get you back in line.
Now be a good sheep. Stay away from truly decentralized, censorship-resistant assets.
Eat zee bugs & accept your future as Soylent green.
….
Or wake up & fight back!
Not your keys. Not your coins. Not your freedom.

How many other Silicone Valley CEO's have been Honey Potted by Chinese Spies? I bet a lot more than people think.
To his credit, he seems to be handling this as good as anyone could. Owning up to it like a man & taking it straight on.
I am actually excited people are able to load up on $DGB at these insane low levels right now.
I myself am working on projects outside of crypto to load up on DigiByte.
Looking at all technical capabilities DGB is just as good & superior in many ways to BTC.
The Raspberry Pi 5 16GB now costs $385.
Raspberry Pi co-founder Eben Upton announced today that the 16GB Pi 5 goes up by $80, and the 16GB Compute Module 5 variants go up by $40. The reason is the same memory crunch that has pushed DRAM prices up across the industry for two years. Upton wrote that "a lack of alternative supply for 16GB DRAM, compounded by other ongoing component shortages" left them no choice.
This is the board that started as a $35 computer for classrooms and tinkerers. Raspberry Pi is avoiding blanket increases: the 16GB Raspberry Pi 500+ keyboard computer keeps its price, and Upton is nudging people to buy only the memory they need. He also warned about resellers using the shortage to sell at inflated prices and pointed buyers to Approved Resellers.
The company says it looks "forward to rolling back our price increases when memory costs fall once again."
We will never have an honest market as long a certain centralized exchange manipulates $DGB & the alt market at will. It’s mind blowing this ever happened. Deal of the decade right now. 🤯
I have been warning for years if you need a web browser & a login to access your crypto it’s not your crypto and it’s not secure.

⚠️ALERT: Crypto wallets created with Google or Apple logins are being hit by unauthorized transactions.
Keplr, the main wallet of the Cosmos ecosystem, paused both login options after users reported the thefts.
The incident originated at Web3Auth, the login service owned by MetaMask's parent Consensys, which says it has gone into "maintenance mode due to a security incident."
Web3Auth claimed nearly 50 MILLION users across more than 8,200 apps when Consensys bought it last year, per The Block.
Keplr's co-founder estimates about 20% of its Google and Apple login accounts are affected, but says only "a fraction" of those has been exploited and the rest "may be recoverable."
Wallets created with a recovery phrase or hardware wallet are NOT affected, and Web3Auth says there is no evidence MetaMask users are impacted.
