As a Japanese, I can't wrap my head around what's happening in the UK.

Hundreds of thousands of young girls raped by grooming gangs.
Fathers who reported it got arrested.
Citizens told to stay quiet.

If this happened here in Japan, it would already be a civil war.
Why isn't the British military staging a coup? What are they even doing?

This makes absolutely no sense to us. Can any British person explain this madness?

Yes, the United States has the most progressive tax system in the world. The top 1% pay 40% of taxes, the bottom 50% pay 3% of taxes. We can make it even more progressive by zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. It’s a small amount of the total tax revenue but very meaningful to people in this group.

Jane Street Accused Of Dumping UST Before Terra Collapse

Terraform Labs’ estate has accused Jane Street of using insider information from a private Telegram group before the Terra collapse.

Court filings allege the trading firm dumped roughly $192 million in UST before the stablecoin lost its peg.

The lawsuit claims Jane Street later made around $134 million betting against the Terra ecosystem as it unraveled.

High intelligence often comes with heightened pattern recognition. You start noticing social masks, forced conversations, performative friendships, hidden motives, emotional immaturity, and energy that feels draining instead of nourishing. Many highly intelligent people also have more active nervous systems, deeper inner worlds, and lower tolerance for superficial stimulation, so solitude can feel safer than constantly shrinking themselves to fit environments that don’t feel aligned.

Japan makes eight billion dollars a year exporting gas. Japan doesn’t produce any gas. They buy it from Australia and on-sell it. Australia is governed by idiots. #auspol

As per @Polymarket, odds of NFT mcap surpassing $10B by Dec 2026 is at 65%

At the moment, NFTs are at $1.6B mcap, around the same mcap as NFTs in Aug 2021…

And it took 6 months for NFTs to reach $10B mcap by Feb 2022

With 8 months+ left in 2026, can NFTs repeat this run? 🤔

The global NFT market right now: $1.55B Market Cap. $1.34M 24h Volume.

Let's put that into perspective:

1/ The Valuation Reality Check

• Against Crypto: The entire history of NFTs combined (every Punk, BAYC, Fidenza, and Web3 game) is worth less than a single dog wearing a hat $WIF. It’s half the size of $PEPE, and a mere fraction of $DOGE.

• Against Collectibles: Forget Fine Art. The global NFT space is currently 3x smaller than the used luxury watch market, and 5x smaller than the sneaker resale market. An industry that promised to "digitize all assets" is vastly outsized by flipped Jordans.

• Against TradFi: $1.55B is the valuation of a single mid-range Swiss watch brand, or a fraction of a mid-tier fast-food chain like Shake Shack.

The entire world of Web3 art, culture, and gaming combined is not even equal to the value of a single memecoin.

-----------

2/ The Actual Users

Let’s do the math on that $1.34M daily volume. If we assume the average NFT transaction is $300 (a blend of Blur whales and retail trading junk), that gives us ~4,400 total transactions worldwide per day.

Subtract the 70% consisting of bot wash-trading to farm points on platforms like Blur or Magic Eden. Your global Real DAU drops to just 1,500 - 3,000 people.

A fun comparison: 3,000 people is less than half the capacity of a high school basketball gym.

Fewer people are actively trading NFTs around the world right now than the foot traffic passing through a local mall in a two-hour window.

-----------

Mass adoption hasn't happened.

We are operating in a concentrated private club of just 3,000 members. But this isn't a graveyard, it’s the absolute floor.

The tourists are gone. The $1.55B is a foundation held by the most convicted builders in Web3. If dog coins command $3B on pure hype and used shoes are a $10B industry, the upside asymmetry for digital culture is unprecedented.

We aren't playing a zero-sum game. We are laying the groundwork for the next cycle.

And when mass adoption finally arrives, it will be built exactly by these 3,000 people who stayed when everyone else left.

Very excited to announce the acquisition of 2,000 Otherdeeds and 203 Kodas from an important private collection. I’ve always been the strongest believer in Yuga Labs and their Otherside project and I’m very grateful to the seller for their trust in me. This acquisition will now add to the assemblage creating a collection of over 8,500 Otherdeeds. To me, NFTs are more than just a digital asset; they represent a personal passion of mine. Each purchase reflects my confidence and support of the entire Web3 community. Special thanks to @steven_papas for putting this deal together, and @nichoviss for always helping me with your knowledge. You both are very important to me 🙏

JUST IN: @cz_binance said that NFTs will be back and “eventually should be much bigger”

The 2021 boom has been driven by hype & speculation

The next phase of NFTs will be driven by value & maturity
