Ran Neuner shares his checklist for identifying protocols actually worth investing in "What are the protocols that are actually going to succeed? Number one, big daddy is Hyperliquid. That's why the market's giving Hyperliquid an $81 billion valuation. Why? Because they buy back tokens and burn them with fees every single day. Their fees in the last couple, has it been $4 million, $5 million a day? And they literally take that and buy back tokens with a large percentage of that money." "Pumpfun, same thing. Massive use case, growing. It's a network, definitely, because the more users that join the network, the more fun that network becomes. And they're buying back and burning the tokens. They tick all the boxes." " Venice, the AI token, they've got 4 million users, $100 million in annualized revenue, growing extremely fast, and a mechanism to give the value back to token holders." "So I think that's the formula. Are you growing? Are you growing into a network? Do you have real sustainable revenues? And do you have a mechanism to actually give that revenue back to your token holders? If the answer to all four of those is yes, invest." "If the answer to the first is yes and the fourth one is no, also invest."

.Naval: “The reality is that opportunities have never been more equal than now. Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos have the same iPhone you do. They don’t have some better version of an iPhone. They’re eating food that might be marginally better than yours, but it’s basically the same. You might even have a better diet than them. You probably have more time to go to the gym than them. They’re not immortal, and they’re not going to be—most likely, not at this time scale. So you have more youth than them. You have a lot of advantages over them. The wealth gaps are actually much smaller than people think. A lot of that is due to mass production, which comes from specialization, labor, and capitalism. But it’s very easy to overlook that and agitate—because that gets you higher in the status hierarchy with other monkeys. It makes you look like you’re fighting for noble causes and gives you status, which is really what people are craving these days. They’re craving status, not money or wealth. And status is a zero-sum game. So it’s kind of an evil game to play because there have to be losers for every winner. And the only way to win is by crushing somebody else down.”

Mark Schlereth on the 49ers this season: “I think San Francisco is going to be one of those teams that will be shockingly good. And they’re going to surprise a lot of people out there that were pundits and were like 'They’re not going to get along without Deebo. They’re not going to get along without Hufanga and Dre Greenlaw'. I think you’re going to be sadly mistaken because I think they are a lot better with the young players than people think they are.” 🎥: Mark Schlereth

#WATCH | Delhi: On the preparatory trade talks between India and the United States, EEPC India Chairman Pankaj Chadha says, “As far as the trade status of engineering products is concerned, from April to July, we have recorded a growth of 12%. Our trade with the US is growing at 12%. That same growth rate will continue for at least another year... The basic reason why trade is growing is that our duties are the same as those of other nations. We are still quite bullish on the US. If the policy changes so that my duty is higher than my competitor’s duty, I have a problem... Products that are growing very well include iron and steel. All the Section 232 items, most of them, seem to be doing fairly well.”

Ansem says $VVV is one of the sleeper consumer app play in crypto "VVV is a sleeper consumer app play onchain. I think VVV is one of the sleeper plays in crypto" "They have like 4 million users right now. I think they just hit like $100 million annualized revenue" "VVV is one of the applications that has found breakout success and consumer success, which is extremely hard to do with customers that aren't even really crypto-native" "I think the narrative for them as uncensored AI is just great generally going forward" "For the same reason that Bitcoin made a ton of sense, like uncensored money, you should have uncensored access to AI, especially if AI is going to continue to get a lot more impressive over the years" "It's a great trade. It was a really strong leader this year. It went from $1 to $20" "Their numbers are fucking through the roof. They're crushing it" "I think it's rare that a crypto app is crushing it outside of crypto and also has a token attached to it. And the team is focused on delivering value to the token as well" "I like Venice a lot. There's not really much that they're competing with in the AI space right now in crypto"

Sky News breaks down how foreigners in Texas are creating fake businesses out of their residential homes for a Visa scandal They then use those fake businesses to bring over more foreigners on H-1B visas They are even bringing people over and then finding them jobs and taking a percent of the money. They’re also getting jobs at our schools “I was going through a database that listed all of these H1B jobs that were out there for people to apply to. I started noticing something very interesting. What I started noticing is that there were a lot of elementary school teachers. There were a lot of middle school math teachers. There were a lot of bilingual teachers. There were a lot of. In fact I even found one at Texas A&M University for an athletic trainer. I refuse to believe that we don't have Americans that are able to fill these jobs. These people that are exploiting the system they're abusing the system.” Other times they are just brining over their friends and families “So a body shop are people who act as consulting companies, bring in a bunch of H1B workers and farm them out and take a portion of their money that they are making.

The Venice team has been teasing 'Minds' lately, so David Hoffman asks "What are Minds?" Jon Venice: "Minds are custom AI experiences" "We have a subset of really strong power users that understand these models really well. They're really good at chaining these things together in such a way, using system prompts in certain ways, to create a toolset that lets them get a much better output from the same prompt, versus just giving it to a kind of naked model without any of these things. And so we're creating tools for users to create these experiences and then potentially even to monetize them. And we think in many ways this is going to become one of the more popular ways for people to use AI and that there will likely only be a small subset of these kind of power users who kind of become creators, although we're trying to make the tools easy enough for them to create whatever they can and they want. But that a ton of consumers will be very interested in this as kind of our thesis, that they will want to use these custom experiences because they will get a substantially better output."

Moore: Telling people who have worn the uniform of this country, who have been willing to pay the highest price to be called American—people who have done things that the vast majority of this country have not signed up to do and wouldn’t sign up to do—and now looking at the service they are performing and saying that maybe they’re not fit to serve—hearing that come from somebody who was never willing to take that oath is very rich. And as a veteran myself, very offensive, because these are patriots. These are people who are willing to sacrifice something on behalf of this country with one simple ask: that the country does not forget that, does not forget the service they did, and does not forget their family members. That was our one ask. And that is not being honored right now with this administration.

All of them have security devices that must be unlocked by employees This is one of the clearest examples of one group of people stealing and another group not stealing Th proof to this is because it’s a 100% fact that CVS uses a data-driven loss prevention system that locks up or tags items based primarily on theft rates and shrinkage data
