Heading to Davos to give a 7 minute speech asking everyone to keep their thermostats at 55 degrees this winter.
Together, we can reverse climate change.
Đà Nẵng vừa mở sandbox cho một use-case rất “real”: Ai sẽ cần chuyển đổi USDT ↔ VND? Bài toán không chỉ cho “trader”.
➢ Giải pháp được nhắc đến: MIMO (Dragon Lab).
Điểm quan trọng: đây là sandbox được UBND TP Đà Nẵng phê duyệt, có phạm vi & thời hạn rõ (không phải “ai cũng dùng ở mọi nơi”).
Thời gian thử nghiệm được báo chí ghi nhận: 12/2025 → 12/2028.
✓ MIMO chạy theo cơ chế non-custodial: hiểu nôm na là nền tảng đóng vai trò trung gian kỹ thuật/điều phối, còn người dùng vẫn giao dịch bằng ví & tài khoản ngân hàng chính chủ theo luồng đã định danh.
➢ Tham gia sớm: https://t.co/xi3Hqq27Gt
Sandbox triển khai tại 03 điểm ở Đà Nẵng:
• Công viên phần mềm số 1 (02 Quang Trung)
• Công viên phần mềm số 2 (đường Như Nguyệt)
• Trung tâm Hỗ trợ khởi nghiệp đổi mới sáng tạo (58 Nguyễn Chí Thanh)
Luồng dùng (tóm gọn theo mô tả công khai):
☐ User eKYC → liên kết bank + ví
☐ VND→USDT: chuyển khoản VND theo hướng dẫn → USDT về ví user
☐ USDT→VND: gửi USDT từ ví user → VND về bank user
✦ Risk note: hệ thống có các lớp kiểm soát như eKYC/AML, ghi log & báo cáo theo quy định sandbox; ví được check theo công cụ phân tích on-chain để giảm rủi ro rửa tiền/lừa đảo.
Về tỷ giá: phía dự án mô tả cơ chế tham chiếu giá từ nhiều sàn lớn và có cửa sổ “cố định tạm thời” 15 phút cho mỗi lượt chuyển đổi; biến động mạnh có thể tạm ngưng để bảo vệ người dùng.
Ai sẽ cần? Bài toán không chỉ cho “trader”: khách quốc tế, chuyên gia/diễn giả dự event, và cả nhóm sinh viên/giảng viên muốn trải nghiệm fintech trong môi trường được giám sát cũng được nhắc tới như nhóm mục tiêu.
➯ Tại sao đáng chú ý (ở góc nhìn market structure)?
Đây là một bước thử nghiệm để nối tài sản số ↔ kinh tế thật theo hướng quản trị rủi ro/tuân thủ — thứ mà thị trường VN thiếu lâu nay.
Nhưng nhớ: sandbox = giới hạn phạm vi, không phải “chuẩn chung” cho cả nước.
Bọn mình sẽ theo dõi thêm: phí, giới hạn giao dịch, SLA xử lý, incident playbook, và trải nghiệm thực tế của user trong sandbox. Nếu bạn ở Đà Nẵng & có trải nghiệm, reply thread: cái gì mượt / cái gì vướng / risk nào cần cảnh báo thêm.
Nếu bạn là member của FOMOnista có thể liên hệ để nhận hướng dẫn trải nghiệm.
Overall:
USA:
- full steam ahead with ai
- massive new investment in energy and powerplants
- huge tech companies & spacex pushing progress
- useless bureaucratic rules being removed
- pro-crypto
- entrepreneurs celebrated
- economy growing
- Musk appreciated (by many at least)
- new food pyramid
- re-industrializing
- new stimulation of regenerative agriculture
- woke dying
- securing resources for a harder the new multi-polar world, reality has sunk in
The way some things are done are not ideal obviously, to say the least, but still, the way is forward
China:
- full steam ahead with ai, tech and robotics
- abundance of energy and even more new power plants on the way
- economy growing
- heavily industrialized
- whole country turning into a massive singapore
- purpose as a nation
- anti-crypto
- no woke
- securing resources for a harder new multi-polar world, reality has sunk in
Many flaws of course, but the way overall is forward. Only real competitor of usa
EU:
- no serious ai or tech or robotic companies
- shortage of cheap energy, insane energy policies
- economy not growing
- de-industrializing
- anti-crypto
- Musk hated
- old food pyramid
- still mostly pro-woke
- too many rules and regulations
- high quality of life, but eroding fast
- securing no resources for a harder new multi-polar world, reality has not sunk in
Some countries are exceptions, but overall the way is not forward and stagnation
----------------------------------------------------------
Rest of the world: many places (india, middle-east, south east asia, latin-america, even parts of africa) are eager to grow and innovate and go ahead. Some places like Japan and South-Korea stagnating too.
Generalizing here on some things, not listing too many negative things, but overall this is the picture i think
Many of you have inquired about the AI prompt I use in perplexity to quickly understand a stock, its themes, competitors and catalysts.
Here it is:
Please analyze [TICKER] for me and provide the following, concise and clearly organized:
1. **Explain what the company does in like I'm 12 years old** - three short bullet points about what it does and any helpful relatable examples and analogies.
2. **Professional summary (max 10 sentences)** - industry, main products/services, primary competitors (list tickers), notable metrics or achievements, competitive advantage/moat, why they are unique and if they are a biotech provide if they have a commercial product or in clinical stages.
3. In a table, provide the follwoing:
* Any hot theme, narrative or story of the stock
* Any catalysts (earnings, news, macro)
* Any significant fundamentals (huge growth in earnings or revenues, moat, unique product or service, superior management, patents etc)
4. **Show all the main news/events for the last 3 months:** - Use a bullet-point table for: - Date (YYYY-MM-DD) - Event type (Earnings, Product Launch, Analyst Upgrade/Downgrade, etc.) - Short summary (max 1-2 sentences) - Direct source link - Mark any major price-moving events (surprise earnings, large guidance shift, top-tier analyst actions).
5. **Mention any recent insider buys/sells or institutional filings if visible.**
6. **Summarize how the stock is moving vs. main competitors and overall sector trend in past month (up/down).**
7. **Flag upcoming catalysts (earnings, product launches, regulatory events) in the next 30 days.**
8. **Note any changes in analyst price targets for this ticker during the period above.** - Format for easy review. If possible, use tables for events and peer moves. - Respond in clear, concise, easily readable style for use in trading decisions.
Overall, Focus on the reasons why the stock can make a big move in the future - earnings, sales, guidance, product launches, analyst upgrades/downgrades, insider buying especially from CEO/Founder and executive team, partnerships, and sector/news catalysts. I want to focus on stocks with catalysts and themes as catalysts are the cause of big moves in the stock market.
Finally, discuss and bring up any relevant previous perplexity queries and conversations.
❗“𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙞𝙨𝙣’𝙩 𝙎𝙤𝙧𝙤𝙨 𝙗𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝘼𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙖?”
This question pops up in my comments a lot. The answer is simple: Republicans and Democrats work with him.
The references I found were not from some random academic journal. Over 30 direct mentions of Soros or his NGOs appeared in the Journal of Democracy. It's the flagship journal of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), the same organization featured prominently in that widely circulated "Uniparty NGO" network diagrams below.
NED is a U.S. government-funded outfit. It includes currently sitting members of Congress on its board... from both parties, not just former officials.
Soros’s involvement is deep. He has co-chaired NED conferences abroad and his Open Society NGOs regularly partner with NED operations, especially in countries undergoing "transitions" (read: regime change or soft power penetration). Together, Soros and US-backed NGOs have shaped funding pipelines, media narratives, and even foreign electoral strategies.
So when people ask, "Why isn’t Soros banned?" ... they need to understand: he's not an outsider. He's part of our government. The Uniparty protects and partners with him, because he helps carry out a shared foreign policy vision... the same one that labels President Trump as a threat to democracy.
NED members include:
🟣 Victoria Nuland – Director of the National Endowment for Democracy; Acting United States Deputy Secretary of State under Biden (served in both parties).
🔵 Karen Bass – Vice Chair of the National Endowment for Democracy; former U.S. Representative and current Mayor of Los Angeles (Democrat).
🔴 Todd Young – Honorary at the National Endowment for Democracy; U.S. Senator from Indiana (Republican).
🔴 Elise Stefanik – Director at the National Endowment for Democracy; U.S. Representative from New York and House GOP Conference Chair (Republican).
🔴 Mel Martinez – Director at the National Endowment for Democracy; former U.S. Senator from Florida (Republican).
🔴 Steve Biegun – Director at the National Endowment for Democracy; former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State (Republican).
🔴 Todd Young – Honorary at the National Endowment for Democracy; US Senator from Indiana (Republican).
You don’t think highly enough of yourself because:
- You don't know about the Galatea Effect studies
- You haven't read Rosenthal's 1968 study in Cali
- Or Van Dinther's research in self efficacy
- You haven't even read the book Self-Efficacy
- You might not even know wtf Self-Efficacy means
- You have no clue who Bandura is
- You've never read Pajares on the misunderstanding of self efficacy constructs to really understand it
- You don't know what RAS stands for
- You've never seen Ozer's 1990 analysis on empowerment mechanisms
- You don't know what Cervone discovered about self-reactive influences in 1986
- You don't know what Maddux proposed in 1995 about imaginal experiences
- You have no clue what the Golem Effect actually measures
You haven't gone down the right rabbit holes yet...
This is just the tip of the iceberg.

There's a generation that witnessed the world go from having no internet, to buying their first computers, to using flip phones, to adopting the iPhone, and now experiencing the rise of AI.
It has been a wild ride so far.
The Mexican anti-cartel Gen Z rebellion has reached Claudia Sheinbaum’s presidential palace in Mexico City.
The crowd has torn down the wall she built a few days ago and is now trying to get past the riot police who have taken cover in an ancient Roman testudo (turtle) formation
We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch! We had satya. We had jensen. We had everything we needed, and it all ran like clockwork. You could've shut your mouth, cooked and made as much money as you ever needed. It was perfect. But, no, you just had to blow it up. You and your pride and your ego! You just had to be the man. If you'd done your job, known your place, we'd all be fine right now
