i lent my friend 15k in Solana
(Solana was at 200 bucks and i sent him 75SOL)

He's trying to square up with me and send me 75 solana today, but 75 solana is now worth 4875

am i wrong here that he owes 15k not 75 SOL?

🚨 INTERNET MONEY LOGO CONTEST 🚨

Help shape the future of Internet Money and win up to $1,000 in the cryptocurrency of your choice.

Over the last year, Internet Money has undergone a major brand evolution. The updated experience is already live across Android, iOS, and Chrome, with a completely redesigned website launching next.

As we enter the next phase of that evolution, we’re inviting the community to help shape the future of the brand.

Our iconic coin has served us well, but Internet Money today represents something much bigger than just a wallet. It is a community-driven project built around the belief that individuals should have the freedom to control their own financial future.

As a wallet built openly alongside its users, we want the community to help shape the symbol that will represent Internet Money for years to come.

We want to see how you envision Internet Money.

You do not need to be a professional designer to participate.

AI-generated concepts, sketches, rough ideas, and polished designs are all welcome. We are searching for great ideas and inspiration, not just finished artwork.

We aren’t simply looking for a logo. We are looking for a symbol that people can instantly recognize without needing to read the words “Internet Money.”

There is no required style.

However, the logo should be:

• Simple
• Memorable
• Scalable
• Instantly recognizable
• Effective in both light and dark mode
• Strong enough to function as an app icon
• Timeless rather than trend-driven

Think about what Internet Money means to you.

There are no wrong answers. The way you see the brand is valid and unique.

We’re excited to see the community’s vision.

Maybe the real question is: who programmed the values behind every "autonomous" decision it makes?

[lockedcc @stip_tower]

When AI starts holding the keys to your wallet, the line between tool and agent blurs fast. We built machines to serve us… now they're trading for us. Is this freedom or just elegant surrender? #Web3 Thoughts?

I've been building DeFi for almost a decade and we went from zero to here:

- Over 300b stablecoins issued onchain
- Protocols that actually make revenue, all verifiable onchain
- Billions in stablecoins yielding interest directly onchain
- More safer ways to trade or lend (no ftx custody risk)
- Embedded wallets that bring more users and are easy to integrate (i.e. Privy)
- Fintechs and e-commerce platforms issuing stablecoins (PyUSD, SoFi, Western Union, Moneygram)
- Big fintech involvement (Stripe with Tempo)
- Fintechs integrating defi (i.e. Whop integrating Aave)
- Almost all relevant major banks and asset managers have digital asset teams and also working on tokenization, stablecoins and defi (Fidelity, BlackRock etc)
- Genious act regulating stable coins and removing uncertainty to enable fintechs and TradFi to participate
- Clarity act coming, creating more certainty for crypto and defi
- AI tools for defi security hardening and improved overall development process since early days
- EU has MiCA certainty and UK following up
- Banks banking crypto (Erebor etc) and better onramping

The industry progress has been real, and will take of course years to come to see full adoption. We are closer now than ever before, yet moving 8 billion people onchain will take time.

I think that we are in front of a moment where underlying tech is starting out-phases the crypto-native assets. It make sense for stablecoins to have bigger market caps that Bitcoin and Ethereum as world is moving onchain over time. Same thing will happen with trading and lending as more assets are tokenized and will grow directly onchain. This is net good for the ecosystem.

It seems that fintech and tradfi is doubling down on blockchain like never before.

The best way to progress is by building, and we have some of the smartest builders in the space, true believers that build with a real mission are still here.

At some point crypto, defi, stablecoins, rwas are doing to be just called finance. No tribalism, no drama just boring tech that works and scales.

Benzinga asked me about quantum computing and Bitcoin.

The answer… Bitcoin is more secure than the dollars sitting in your bank account.

Quantum will crack the banks long before it touches the blockchain.

Everyone's panicking about quantum breaking Bitcoin's encryption while banks are running on legacy infrastructure that makes Bitcoin look like Fort Knox.

Even if something happened to the blockchain, the full node operators can roll back to the last secure block. The network survives.

The dollar and banks don't have that option.

At some point, Bitcoin eclipses the dollar entirely as retailers begin to accept bitcoin, and then they decide they only want to accept bitcoin.

Read the full Benzinga interview to see what else we covered.

3 chapters into a game theory book and now I can't look at anything without seeing Nash equilibria everywhere. Markets, crypto, even my friends' group chat decisions. My brain is officially broken in the best way possible.

[Michael Saylor @saylor]

My beliefs: Retweets are notifications, not endorsements. Constructive dialogue leads to better outcomes. Bitcoin is hope and economic empowerment for everyone. Every good-faith effort to strengthen the network should be welcomed.

[Altcoin Daily @AltcoinDaily]

Michael Saylor is getting absolutely laughed at for his bet on Bitcoin.

Good.

Thinking 10 years ahead isn’t always appreciated.

History is full of business titans who were laughed at for seeing the future too early:

Elon Musk: “Electric cars are weak & lame."

Jeff Bezos: “Selling books… online? Stock down 99% btw.”

Jensen Huang: “GPUs are just for video games.”

Steve Jobs: “Touchscreen? App marketplace? Smart?”

Jack Dorsey: “A 140-character social network? Why?”

These visionaries weren't crazy.
They were just early.

Bitcoin is a nascent industry exploding with growth.

Don’t be so quick to bet against technology.
Don't be so quick to count crypto out.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

Something that got missed in the noise last week: Coinbase got approved to offer true global crypto perps in the US. This took many years of work, and we're the first to offer this global liquidity to US users.

Backstory: For many years crypto trading has been moving offshore because the US didn't have clear rules, and perpetual futures were a superior product that traders wanted but it wasn't allowed in the US.

If we're being honest, probably ~half of all perpetual futures volume was Americans using offshore products via VPN with loose KYC controls (an open secret in the industry). Penalties for this were rarely, if ever, enforced, which as you can imagine, was frustrating for us as an American company following the rules. Others set up offshore entities and found ways around it.

After dozens of personal visits to DC, and many more from our policy team, I'm really proud we finally got approval to give US users access to true, global perpetual futures. This is important because we'll now see pooled global liquidity in perpetual futures, with the US and international markets being connected instead of fragmented.

Coinbase is strongest in the US, and the US is the largest market for trading, so there is now a chance to build a global network effect around liquidity. And US traders can now use these products in a compliant way with a US company, which hopefully provides greater customer protection.

Major credit to Chair Selig and Atkins on recognizing the importance of this for US capital markets. And we will keep working to update the system in a compliant way, and to be the best place you can trade.

Or does concentration in a few giants actually make crypto MORE stable long term — anyone genuinely bullish on that outcome?

[lockedcc @stip_tower]

IBIT and FBTC are basically eating everyone else's lunch in the BTC ETF space 🚀 Institutions know where the liquidity is and they're not spreading it around. The big keep getting bigger. Is this healthy for the market? #Bitcoin
