What do $Kaspa and $Apple have in common? Apple wasn’t the first mover in the mobile phone business: Sony, Motorola, Nokia, and others were FAR ahead of them! Yet today, Apple is the market leader (> 20% market share) What makes Apple different? They think different! They built on the shoulders of giants and simplified things in a way their competitors couldn’t. You don’t have to be the first mover! You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. You just need to streamline the solution and customer behavior to the maximum, and you’ll win! The same principle that worked for Apple will now apply to Kaspa. Just as Apple took existing technology and made it more accessible, intuitive, and user-friendly, Kaspa is poised to do the same in its own field. By refining blockchain technology: focusing on speed, scalability and simplicity. Kaspa can take the groundwork laid by earlier cryptocurrencies and elevate it, meeting user needs more effectively than its predecessors. It’s not about being the first; it’s about being the BEST at delivering what people really want. 10bps countdown: ⏳ 34 days to go till 10bps GIGA Thread & Art from KASPArt_Qubicious_Analysis 💪 --> Check him out🫡 If you understand what you're investing in, short-term price fluctuations won't matter to you: • No insiders or VCs • Fair launch • Solves the blockchain trilemma • 2nd biggest Hash rate • Proof-of-Work • Worth $2B without Binance & Coinbase • T1 listings coming soon “Learn” comes before “earn” for a reason.

BREAKING: Eight days ago the White House paraded Apple as the champion of bringing chips home to America. This week Apple is quietly asking that same White House for permission to buy memory chips from a Chinese company sitting on the Pentagon's military blacklist. The decoupling did not break because anyone lost their nerve. It broke because AI made the chips too expensive to keep choosing sides. Watch the timing, because it is almost too perfect. On June 18, Trump announced an Apple and Intel partnership to build chips on American soil, the poster child for reshoring. Days later the Financial Times revealed Apple had spent over a month lobbying the administration for assurance it could buy DRAM from CXMT, a firm the Pentagon flags for alleged ties to the Chinese military. The same company, the same week, standing on both sides of the line Washington drew. What pushed Apple to the edge was pure cost. AI data centers have swallowed the world's memory supply and prices have rocketed. When Apple finally raised MacBook and iPad prices to cope, investors erased 263 billion dollars from its value in a single trading day, its worst since April of last year. The squeeze became unbearable, so the company went looking for the one supplier everyone else is warned away from. This is the part the chip war never priced in. Decoupling assumed American firms could afford to pick a side. That holds right up until a shortage gets severe enough that picking a side becomes unaffordable, and AI just found that point. The most valuable company on earth would rather approach the blacklist than keep paying the bill. A memory chip shortage did not just raise the price of a laptop. It bent the security policy of the United States until its flagship company walked up to a line it was told never to touch. Scarcity, it turns out, has no flag.

My wife bought a brand new iPhone at the Apple store located at Jakande, Lekki Phase 1,Lagos last September. We decided to trade it in for a new one today at the Apple Store located at Westfield Stratford City Arcade (London) a few minutes ago Only God did not let them call the police on us The attendant scanned the IPhone and declared that it had been reported as stolen. Stolen from where? It was not a used iPhone It was new, purchased from an approved Apple Store and we have all the receipts intact The attendant saw our indignation and went ahead to consult with her superiors They scanned again and they declared that it was reported “missing”. They adjusted their language from stolen to missing and told us it has zero swap value. I was not shocked at all even though I should be. Nigerians like cutting corners for unhealthy gains and they always believe this is good business for them as long as they were able to make a buck. Somehow we were able to walk out of that Apple Store without any drama but I remember telling my wife that we would have had a lot of explaining to do if they had a policy that required that they must report such incidents to the police. Nigerian business people must try to do better than this There is something called integrity, it has a higher value than the dirty gains they think they are getting by playing dirty. I have always insisted on buying things in Nigeria because it helps the economy but I can see the reason many prefer to shop abroad. We must do better than this as a people. -GSW-

Sam Altman and Dario Amodei just got caught running a $2 trillion scam on the entire world. The timing exposes EVERYTHING: Four days after OpenAI secretly filed for a $1 trillion IPO, Altman went on stage in Sydney and said he was "delighted to be wrong" about AI destroying jobs. Amodei reversed his forecast the same week. Anthropic is targeting its own IPO in October at a $900 billion valuation. Fortune called it coordinated and they're not wrong. But here's the thing... This was never a scientific forecast to begin with. In 2024 and 2025, both CEOs needed two things simultaneously - government attention and private investment. Apocalyptic predictions delivered both. When you tell senators that AI will eliminate half of all white-collar jobs, you get called to testify. You get taken seriously as a national security issue and get positioned as the responsible adult in the room who understands the danger better than anyone. And when you tell investors the same story, you create urgency. Urgency drives capital. Capital drives valuation. Amodei said 50% of white-collar jobs were at risk. Altman said entire job categories would vanish. Both said it repeatedly, in major venues, through all of 2025. Now they need something different. OpenAI is losing $1.22 for every $1 it earns. $14 billion in losses this year against $25 billion in revenue. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are preparing the roadshow with the S-1 going public in late August. You cannot walk into a public market telling investors the technology you built is an existential threat to the economy. That is NOT a story Wall Street buys at a $1 trillion valuation. That is a story that triggers Senate hearings, regulatory intervention, and class-action lawsuits from every displaced worker in America. So the story changed. Altman's exact words in Sydney: "I'm delighted to be wrong. I thought there would have been more impact on entry-level white-collar jobs by now than has actually happened." Then he added one sentence that every financial journalist should have flagged: "It still may." So the apocalypse is just "rescheduled" - specifically to after the IPO lockup period expires. He took the L on timing, kept the vision intact, and protected the roadshow. And 115,000 tech workers laid off so far in 2026 - with Meta, Amazon, and Snap all citing AI as the driver - are watching the men who predicted their displacement announce they were WRONG about it, four days after filing to go public at a combined $2 trillion valuation. They sold the world fear to raise money, then switched up at the right time to raise more.

It's 2030 and you are reviewing humanoid robots. A Tesla. A Google. An Apple. An OpenAI. A Meta. A Figure. And a bunch of Chinese-made ones. Which one is best, and why? I think the Tesla understands the world much better. Why? There were eight Teslas around me on the freeway today. Start there. No other robot company has that data. But my robot is parked at the local high school twice a day. Its cameras see humans in all of our weirdness. How we move. Where we go. Where we walk. Who we talk with. What you are wearing. Whether your hair was combed this morning. That data will lead to robotics breakthroughs. Apple might keep up with its Vision Pro data, but it is too freaked out by the privacy implications of using said data. (On the front are six cameras and a couple of TOF -- Time Of Flight -- sensors that can see everything in your home in great detail). Google has a lot of data, for sure. All my: 1. Email. 2. Calendars. 3. Photos. 4. TV watching behavior. 5. Contacts. 6. Documents and spreadsheets. 7. Files. 8. Location data. So I expect Google's robot will be attractive to many. But how do you see the others shake out over the next five years? Make some guesses. But remember what an AI pioneer told me years ago about AI: it's all about the data. The Chinese ones have huge advantages: the Chinese have more data on their citizens, and many more citizens to boot AND they can make robots cheaper than we can. But now that you know OpenAI is building its own robot you have caught wind of what I've heard from many in San Francisco and Silicon Valley: that humanoid robots are the real prize of AI and will be highly profitable for those that can make them and find customers willing to buy them. Here, too, I learned long ago never to bet against Elon Musk. Will you?
