I was the Founder and CEO of several tech companies. Currently, I'm exploring avenues in crypto as an entrepreneur, investor, and content creator.

BYD picked Abu Dhabi's E11 to break 500 km/h. A real public road, closed for the test. The all-electric Yangwang U9 Xtreme hit 503.17 km/h.

Now if they would only follow Germany's lead here in the UAE...

[Saif Alderei @saif_aldareei]

BYD's electric Yangwang U9 Xtreme just hit 503 km/h in Abu Dhabi, the first production car past 500.
Its own record was 496 km/h on a test track in Germany. This time it was a real road in Al Dhafra, with desert heat and dust.
Closing 10 km of a main road for a test means the setup is ready. 503 is the car's number. Picking Abu Dhabi is the message.

Nobody needs to decide to buy Bitcoin. The plumbing does it. Franklin Templeton's FBEQ and FIBT systematically reinvest stock dividends into bitcoin. I call that the most boring way to own it. Boring is probably how most money ends up owning it.

[The Block @TheBlockCo]

THE BLOCK: Franklin Templeton launched two ETFs combining U.S. equities and bitcoin exposure, with dividends from the underlying stocks systematically reinvested into bitcoin, the asset manager said Thursday.

The Franklin U.S. Equity Bitcoin DRIP Index ETF (FBEQ) tracks an index of about 500 large-cap U.S. companies, while the Franklin U.S. Innovation Bitcoin DRIP Index ETF (FIBT) tracks 100 large Nasdaq-listed companies.

Both ETFs will have initial allocations of 95% to equities and 5% to bitcoin, and expense ratios of 0.09% and 0.19%, respectively.

@elonmusk @cursor_ai Grok Bot told me I could have multiple agent email addresses, so I named mine per project. Turns out it's one address, forever. No rename, no delete. Great... Now I'll have to delete the account?

True. I run a stack of AI agents for my own companies, and building is no longer the hard part. The hard part now is picking what's worth building and getting anyone to notice.

AI makes the product cheap. Taste and distribution stay expensive.

Dubai problem: no basements.

There will be the trillionaire in the basement. There will be, somebody who puts out their own agent swarm, but does it on a entrepreneurial basis."

Read YC's crypto ask: stablecoins, trading, agents, AI capital raising. Financial needs, not community tokens.

The next wave of crypto founders won't pitch a coin. They'll pitch a cheaper way to move, raise, or hedge money, and the chain becomes an implementation detail.

[Nemil Dalal @nemild]

At @ycombinator, we're excited to fund more crypto startups solving financial needs including AI capital raising, stablecoins, trading, and agents.

Here's our latest crypto request for startups. Our next application deadline is Monday.

@Jason Bitcoin vs AI is a false choice. AI is where you put your time. Bitcoin is where you park what that time earns. Dumping one near the lows to chase the other is just selling the bottom to buy the top.

@TonySeverinoCMT Sounds like you know how to have a good time 😅

I felt as if I was living in the future when the Tesla drove itself to the airport today. You did it @elonmusk, you degenerate maniac!

[Ken Devo @KenDevo]

@iamthimartins I want more of this.

[Ken Devo @KenDevo]

Soon you'll have no choice but to use AI to defend against AI.

🚨 BREAKING: ANTHROPIC'S MOST POWERFUL MODEL JUST LEAKED

Anthropic accidentally left draft blog posts in a publicly accessible data cache. Cybersecurity researchers found them:

>new model called "Claude Mythos"
>also referred to as "Capybara"
>a brand new tier of model
>larger and more intelligent than Opus

Anthropic confirms it's real:
>"a step change"
>"the most capable we've built to date"
>"dramatically better at coding, reasoning, and cybersecurity"
>"currently far ahead of any other AI model in cyber capabilities"

so far ahead they're worried about it:
>"it presages an upcoming wave of models that can exploit vulnerabilities in ways that far outpace the efforts of defenders"

This is genuinely a big deal.

NASA releases insane new image of Helix Nebula.

700 light-years away from us.

It's the closest nebula to Earth.

Constantly watching us.

@elonmusk @grok Holy crap...

@neverlie Haha, she was not expecting any consequences, that's for sure 😅

@DXBMediaOffice It'd be great to separate English and Arabic accounts, or to combine the posts if it's in a single account.

@kian_sasan Why did they approach you in the first place?

[Ken Devo @KenDevo]

@ZssBecker He hates crypto though...

Does this look like self defense by the officer to you? I'd say it's the other way around.

Is this a sign I should stop watching YouTube videos while also scrolling through Twitter? @Cristiano
