Just watched Saifedean Ammous talk from Bitcoin 2025 and it’s worth your time. He takes on the idea that Tether is somehow bullish for the US dollar—and dismantles it. Even in the most optimistic scenario, where Tether grows 100x and buys massive amounts of Treasuries, the impact on US debt is tiny. But here’s where it gets interesting: Tether is stacking Bitcoin. Quietly, steadily. And over time, those Bitcoin reserves may outpace the dollar ones. If that happens, Tether doesn’t just stay pegged—it could revalue upward. A dollar-plus stablecoin, backed by Bitcoin, not Treasuries. His point? Tether isn’t rescuing the dollar. It might actually be helping the world move away from it. “The real risk to Tether isn’t volatility. It’s US default. And Bitcoin is the hedge.” If you want to understand the shifting dynamics between stablecoins, fiat debt, and Bitcoin—this talk lays it out clearly.

Meta is building one of the largest AI data centers in Louisiana, in one of the poorest counties in the US. The project could reach 7.5 gigawatts and be powered by 10 new natural gas plants, and in a region searching for economic revival, development of the data center has become a lifeline

There's potential for Twenty One (XXI) to become a public-private partnership in which they would effectively be the Bitcoin arm of the United States Government. SoftBank's "Stargate" project sets a precedent for this -- it's a partnership with the US Govt., Open Ai., and Oracle. Leveraging Cantor's position as a primary dealer with the Fed, I believe XXI will become an issuer of BTC-Backed US Treasuries + Investors get BTC-Exposed Credit with the AA Rating of US Treasuries + XXI Creates More Demand for US Treasuries (Helping out their friend Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent) + XXI taps into the $300T Global Debt Market in a way no competing company could. Effectively giving them a bottomless pool of capital through which they could stack BTC What do you think?

OpenUSD could flip the entire stablecoin business model upside down "Look at the business model of existing stablecoins like Circle and Tether. USDC and USDT are the product, but the business model is the float. They take in a ton of money, invest it in short-term treasuries, earn a yield, and that's their income" "In 2024 Circle said 99% of their income came from holding treasuries and earning a yield. That's an astounding number. Tether is one of the most profitable companies in the world because of high interest rates in the exact same model" "These 140 companies are saying we are going to earn the interest from that float instead of the issuers. OpenUSD will just make a small amount on transaction fees, and the companies using it earn the interest on the tokens. Complete change in the model. That's why Circle stock dumped so hard, people believe the day of making money on float might be over"

🇺🇸 Elon’s plan: Put 1 terawatt of AI compute in orbit using Terafab + Starship. Build the world’s largest AI chip factory on Earth, then use Starship to launch that compute power into space. Claim: 80% of Terafab’s entire output will go to orbital applications. This could become the backbone of space-based AI. Writer: Val

David Sacks: The AI Race is bigger than the Space Race 🇺🇸 "This was the first speech that President Trump has given on AI since the AI boom began." "And he declared that the United States was in an AI race. It's a global competition." "The language that he used was reminiscent of how President John F. Kennedy declared that America was in a space race, and in a similar way, President Trump declared that we had to win the AI race." "I think you could argue that the AI race is more important than the space race." "It's going to reshape the global economy, it's going to determine who the superpowers are of the 21st century." During his speech, President Trump laid out three key pillars of American AI dominance: 1) Innovation (let the geniuses cook) 2) Infrastructure (energy, datacenters) 3) Exports (make US tech stack the global standard) The president also noted that it matters HOW we win, mentioning three non-negotiables: 1) American workers have to be at the center of the prosperity created by AI 2) AI models that the government procures and buys must be free of ideological bias (no Woke AI) 3) Prevent misuse and/or theft by malicious actors

BREAKING: Dan Ives says SpaceX could become one of the best AI investments in the market. "When you look at it on the compute side to space, it's much more of an AI play. When you go out in the next 2-3 years, if they execute, I could argue this becomes one of the best AI plays in the market and that's why we are bullish."

Ex-OpenAI researcher Daniel Kokotajlo, one of the world's leading AI forecasters, warns superintelligent AI could reorder global power and eliminate nearly every job.

🚨 Elon Musk's reported Terafab project could be bigger than most people realize. 👀 Jo Bhakdi says the planned Tesla-SpaceX facility could reach 100 million square feet, about 10 times larger than Giga Texas, with a goal of producing around 1 terawatt of AI chips per year. He also highlighted Elon’s vision for AI in space, with plans to rapidly increase compute power in orbit over the next few years. If these plans become reality, SpaceX and Tesla may not just be building products. They could be building the infrastructure that powers the future of AI. $TSLA $SPCX

The debt passed $39 trillion today. Paying a trillion dollars of interest annually on this debt causes hardship for tax-payers and robs us of resources that could otherwise be used for infrastructure or national defense. And ultimately, this debt will enslave our grandchildren.

I will soon be introducing a bill to give the public a 50% ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America. This would guarantee that the trillions created by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — and block oligarch decisions that harm the American people.

If Trump authorizes the Strategic Crypto Reserve, which it looks like he will… David Sacks ~ the new Ai/Crypto Czar ~ could train these powerful new Ai Agents on the reserve… Which will be mostly XRP, since they want to focus on US based crypto… And these Ai Agents could be commanded to do anything possible to wipe out our $36 trillion dollar national debt… And with the insane new capabilities of these Ai Agents, they can deploy smart contracts, make strategic investments and do all sorts of magic to accomplish what nothing else could match. We have no plan of prayer to get out of this debt by traditional means. The golden age is definitely going to be Ai powered 🔥 🇺🇸 💪
