[Anthony Pompliano 🌪 @APompliano]

Dear followers,

I need your help.

This Tuesday I am launching my second book, How To Live An Extraordinary Life Volume 2. Usually a book launch has tons of support from big publishers, expensive marketing campaigns, mainstream media interviews, and thousands of shelves in bookstores across the country.

I’m doing this launch independently because I believe the power of community trumps any other approach.

So here is my big ask: If I have ever provided you any value, please consider buying a book. If I helped you make money, consider grabbing a copy. If I gave you a new idea to think about, buy a book. And if you were ever entertained by the podcast, my tweets, or this letter, order a few copies and then tell your friends to do the same.

We are hosting a book launch event on Thursday night at City Winery in Manhattan. My wife, @polinapompliano, will be interviewing me on stage. I am terrified of what insane questions she will ask me or what stories she will make me recount, but there is no going back now that I have committed to the event.

It will be unlike any event we have done before. You can get a ticket to Thursday’s event here: https://t.co/FeYGHeVEMa

I sent an early copy to a few friends and they seemed to like it.

- @theRealKiyosaki, Author of NYT bestseller “Rich Dad Poor Dad” said: “It’s filled with wisdom all of us need…a must-read for every parent to give their child.”

- @Scaramucci, financier and former White House Communications Director, said: “fifty ideas that can change your life, written by one of the sharpest minds in finance and one of the best fathers I know.”

I spent a year writing about 50 life-changing ideas that had a significant impact on me. These lessons span across my personal, professional, and financial life, including:

- The two types of men in the morning
- Why it is better to be busy than bored
- How to be the 60% spouse
- What the Production Principle is
- How I define success now
- The importance of “F**k you focus”
- Why more people die on the way down from Mount Everest
- Why you must avoid Chauffeur Knowledge
- What to learn when dissent is outlawed
- The difference between ordinary and extraordinary
- How the devil doesn’t tempt you with spinach

I am not measuring success of this book by the number of books we sell. I want the ideas to speak for themselves. The true test of a book’s quality is whether it can spread through word of mouth with no marketing gimmicks. I don’t care about book club stickers or bestseller lists. I just want each of you to say, “This brought me immense value.”

Order here: https://t.co/KW3fShIMZf

Thank you in advance for the support. It means a lot to me. I look forward to continuing to learn alongside you in the coming years.

[Chainlink @chainlink]

Introducing Chainlink Fulcrum: the gateway connecting the world’s largest financial institutions to onchain financing.

As tokenized assets and financing venues expand across public and private blockchains, institutions need to mobilize collateral and access liquidity without building bespoke infrastructure for every market.

Chainlink Fulcrum solves this with an end-to-end solution that separates where financing agreements are managed from where cash & collateral settle. Counterparties define the eligible assets, financing terms, and the settlement networks through which the assets move.

For institutions, this unlocks:
• Faster collateral mobilization that enables intraday financing, including on holidays and weekends.
• 24/7 risk management through automated collateral coverage checks throughout the day, extending beyond end-of-day processes.
• Greater capital efficiency by making assets across networks available for financing, helping institutions free up balance sheet capacity.
• Lower operational complexity through reusable workflows that connect existing systems across public and private blockchains.

The solution combines multiple aspects of the Chainlink platform, including the Chainlink Runtime Environment (orchestrates transaction lifecycle), CCIP (cross-chain data and asset transfers), and Data Streams (collateral valuation data).

Chainlink Fulcrum is designed to serve all market participants, including banks, dealers, prime brokers, agent lenders, custodians, hedge funds, pension funds, insurers, sovereign wealth funds, money market funds, asset managers, tokenized fund and stablecoin issuers, and corporate treasuries.

Each can lend, borrow, or mobilize collateral on terms that fit its mandate and risk parameters.
Fulcrum is in the process of being integrated with leading TradFi environments, providing a single platform where participants can compare financing terms and route transactions to the venue of their choice, where the agreement is executed and governed.

This is a foundational step toward global financing markets, where an asset’s utility extends beyond the network on which it was issued.

Jordi Visser believes the macro doomers are WRONG about the economy.

"..that's my big beef, is that if you actually used AI and you saw where things were going, you actually saw the productivity games, you'd recognize that the economy has changed."

[Litecoin @litecoin]

According to an article published by @Tangem back in April of this year, there were already well over 120,000,000 tokens and coins in the crypto space.

> 85 million of those reside on Solana
> 35 million of those reside on Ethereum & similar chains

Only 9-17k of those 120 million are actively traded, which is already a miniscule 0.0142% of the total supply.

Of those actively traded, the top 25 by MCAP make up only 0.147% of that.

Of those 25, only Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, and Monero are fairly launched through a genesis block, no pre-mine, no contentious hard fork free coins, fully decentralized Proof-of-Work cryptocurrencies. This means these four cryptos, built upon the ethos and original definition of what a cryptocurrency is, make up only 0.00000333% of the total 'crypto' market.

That, my friends, shows you just how special Litecoin is. Not just as a crypto with the second strongest use case by transactions only to Bitcoin, but as digital silver.

[Midnight @MidnightNtwrk]
