Self-confidence isn’t something you’re born with, it’s built. Here’s how you can strengthen yours starting today. 1. Keep promises to yourself Every time you set a goal and achieve it, no matter how small, you tell yourself, “I can trust me.” Start with simple tasks like waking up on time or finishing a book, and watch your confidence grow. 2. Embrace discomfort Confidence doesn’t come from staying in your comfort zone. Take small steps outside of it daily. Speak up in meetings, try a new hobby, or strike up a conversation with someone new. 3. Focus on progress, not perfection The fear of failure destroys confidence. Celebrate progress instead of perfection. Studies from the American Psychological Association show that focusing on improvement boosts self-belief over time. 4. Surround yourself with positivity Confidence is contagious. Surround yourself with people who uplift and inspire you. Dismiss those who feed your insecurities. 5. Speak kindly to yourself The words you say to yourself shape your reality. Replace “I can’t” with “I’m learning” and “I’ll never” with “I will figure it out.” Positive self-talk rewires your brain for confidence. Confidence isn’t a gift, it’s a skill. Start building it one decision, one action, and one belief at a time. The stronger your self-confidence, the more unstoppable you become.

Dave Asprey claims you can boost your IQ by around 12 points in a month with one specific brain training method. On The Iced Coffee Hour, he described dual n-back training: a frustrating grid game where you track both the position and the symbol from several moves back. Just 20 minutes a day. Most people quit, but sticking with it for ~20 sessions can dramatically improve working memory (e.g., going from remembering 7–8 items to 16). Dual n-back training reliably improves performance on the trained task and can enhance working memory capacity. Some studies show modest transfer to fluid intelligence (problem-solving aspect of IQ), but results are mixed, meta-analyses find small average gains (often 2–5 points) that are stronger in lower-quality studies and don’t always hold up in well-controlled trials. The idea that you can deliberately train a core cognitive skill like working memory is intriguing, even if the IQ boost isn’t guaranteed to be that large. In a world full of distractions that shrink our attention, a simple daily practice that strengthens your brain’s ability to hold and manipulate information could be genuinely useful. Would you commit to 20 minutes of frustrating brain training every day for a month if it could meaningfully improve your focus and memory?

Doing our bit for a healthier, stronger India 🇮🇳 As an athlete, I’ve always been mindful of what I eat and over the years, I’ve come to realise that small changes in our daily habits can make a big difference. That’s why I’m proud to join hands with the Department of Agriculture & Farmers’ Welfare, Government of India, for a special awareness campaign under the National Mission on Edible Oils (NMEO). The message is simple but powerful: Let’s try to reduce our edible oil consumption by just 10%. Not just for ourselves but for our families, and for the country. India currently consumes over 20 kg of edible oil per person every year. That’s much higher than what’s considered healthy and it’s also one of the reasons we spend nearly ₹80,000 crore on oil imports annually. This campaign is a reminder that good health starts at home. And that even a small change like being mindful of the oil we use can lead to a big impact. As a father, I think about the habits we’re passing on to the next generation. If we can make healthier choices today, we’re setting them up for a stronger tomorrow. Grateful for the chance to do my part. Let’s come together to build a healthier, more self-reliant Bharat.

MEET CHARLIE — AND WITNESS THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA IN HEALING✨ Today, a young boy named Charlie stepped into a capsule unlike anything most have ever seen — the ThetaPod. But this isn’t just technology. This is conscious medicine. Day 1 marks the start of his 28-day healing journey — one guided not by pharmaceuticals or invasive procedures, but by frequency, resonance, and the forgotten intelligence of the human biofield. The ThetaPod is a state-of-the-art wellness capsule — a quantum recalibration chamber designed to restore harmony between brain, body, and soul. Using PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields) and neuroacoustic entrainment, it gently guides the nervous system back to balance, lowers stress hormones, reactivates cellular repair, and allows the mind to enter deep theta brainwaves — the gateway to true transformation. This isn’t speculation. This is happening. And Charlie is living proof. With no needles. No chemicals. No side effects. His body is being invited — not forced — to remember its original design. And it’s responding. We are witnessing the convergence of ancient wisdom and future science: Where meditation meets magnetism. Where biology meets light. Where healing becomes a return — not a battle. In just a few sessions, children like Charlie begin to experience: 🧠 Deeper sleep 💛 Emotional calm ✨ Mental clarity 🎯 Enhanced focus 🌿 Even spontaneous recovery from chronic imbalances that defied explanation. We were told healing is slow. We were told it’s complicated. But what if… it’s not? What if we’ve simply been out of resonance with the field that created us? This isn’t just Charlie’s story. It’s the soft unveiling of a global remembrance. A quiet miracle. A signal to those who feel — who know — that something extraordinary has arrived. Because the future of healing doesn’t scream. It hums. In light, in rhythm, in sacred geometry. And for Charlie… It all began with one step. Inside one pod. On one unforgettable day.

The one brain structure that literally grows when you do things you HATE doing — and shrinks the moment you get comfortable. Stanford neuroscientist Andrew Huberman dropped what he calls “one of the most important discoveries in the history of neuroscience” in a conversation with David Goggins. It’s called the anterior mid-cingulate cortex (aMCC). Recent human studies (not mice) show: - It’s smaller in people with obesity → grows when they successfully diet - Super-athletes have an unusually large aMCC - People who live the longest keep this area big their entire life - It enlarges every single time you force yourself to do something you genuinely do NOT want to do - It shrinks almost immediately if you stop or if the same task becomes enjoyable Huberman: “This isn’t the seat of intelligence or memory. This might actually be the seat of the WILL TO LIVE.” The rule is brutal but simple: If you love your ice bath → no growth If you’re terrified of cold water but get in anyway → aMCC gets bigger Skip a day or start liking it → it shrinks again tomorrow Huberman waited years to tell David Goggins about this because Goggins has been unconsciously training his aMCC harder than almost anyone alive. Watch the full clip below — it will permanently change how you think about discomfort, willpower, and longevity. What’s one thing you really don’t want to do today… that you’re going to do anyway? Drop it in the comments. Let’s build that aMCC together.

⚡️ MS is not a “disease,” and not even a true “disorder.” So what is it? 🤔 🧠 Multiple Sclerosis isn’t your immune system attacking you; it’s your brain losing time with nature, misfiring in circuits that were never meant to fire. When the body forgets the rhythm of sunlight, it mistakes its own signals for danger ⚠️. The immune system then shows up, not to destroy, but to clean up the debris of a body that’s lost its timing. 🆘 MS is your body sending an SOS signal. It’s not breaking. It’s broadcasting. It’s your cells crying out, “I’ve lost the signal… reconnect me to the light.” Once you understand what I’m about to share, you’ll know how to decode the message. 📚 Before we go deeper, learn these key terms 👇 1️⃣ PAM-C = Pineal – Amygdala – Mesencephalon – Cerebellar complex. It’s the brain’s core electrical hub linking light, emotion, balance, and movement. It’s like: your circadian control tower; an antenna translating light and magnetism into brain timing and rhythm. 2️⃣ Myelin 🧬 A fatty, conductive coat that wraps around your nerves, like the rubber insulation around a wire. It keeps the current ⚡️ fast and clean. Without it, signals leak, weaken, or fire in the wrong place. 3️⃣ Redox 🔋 Your body’s electron balance; the charge inside your mitochondria. You raise redox with: 🌅 Sunrise light 🐟 DHA-rich seafood 🧊 Cold exposure (CT) 🦶 Grounding 🥗 Local seasonal food 📵 Low EMF 🌑 Darkness after sunset 4️⃣ Amygdala 💥 A small almond-shaped part of the brain that feels emotions and scans for safety. It’s your body’s 🔔 fire alarm. When it loses sync with sunlight and magnetism, it rings nonstop; keeping you in constant stress 🧩 What’s really going on in MS In MS, the PAM-C loses coherence; it can’t read environmental frequencies like sunlight or Earth’s magnetic field. When that happens: 🧭 The brain loses timing between its regions 🧬 The immune system becomes confused ⚡️ Myelin starts to degrade because redox collapses The PAM-C becomes ground zero for circadian chaos. 🌞 What causes PAM-C failure 🌅 No sunrise light = pineal dysfunction (melatonin off, timing lost) 💡 Blue light at night = amygdala overstimulation (chronic stress loop) 📡 nnEMF exposure = voltage disruption in the mesencephalon(the midbrain like the “traffic light” 🚦 that connects your thinking brain to your body 🐟 Low DHA or no grounding = cerebellum desynchronization(your movement coach 🧘‍♀️ that keeps balance, rhythm, and coordination) When timing collapses, electrical harmony turns into frequency noise, and the immune system reacts to the confusion. And then Demyelination happens. 🫠 Demyelination is what happens when your brain’s insulation melts; and the electrical rhythm with nature is lost. Signals leak, timing fails, and the immune system steps in to clean the wreckage. It’s not war -> it’s an emergency repair. 🧬 MS = PAM-C Desynchronization When this control system loses redox balance, the brain’s electrical architecture collapses; leading to demyelination, fatigue, and immune misfires. 🌅 How to rebuild it? ✅ See the sunrise every morning = resets pineal and amygdala timing ✅ Do cold exposure (CT) 🧊 = strengthens redox & myelin repair ✅ Ground daily 🦶 = restores Earth’s magnetic input to the midbrain ✅ Eat seafood rich in DHA 🐟 = rebuilds neural insulation ✅ Keep true darkness at night 🌑 = regenerates melatonin & mitochondrial charge ✅Minimize your nnEMF. Remember: you can’t heal in the same environment that made you sick. ⏳ How long does it take? It depends on how serious you are about living what you know. The more we align with sunlight, magnetism, and real food, the faster coherence returns. MS is not an autoimmune disease. It’s a timing collapse between light, water, and magnetism; a loss of electrical rhythm inside the brain. Remember: It’s your body sending an SOS, asking to come home to the light.

Jeff Bezos says bureaucracy as we know it won’t exist in 5 years In a fascinating conversation, Jeff Bezos talks with Francis Suarez, the Mayor of Miami, and completely dismantles the idea of traditional bureaucracy with a bold and surprisingly simple AI vision. 🤖 The vision: building permits in seconds Bezos outlines how AI could transform the entire permitting process: •Today: Getting a building permit takes months, even though the answer is almost always “yes.” People are just forced to wait. •Tomorrow: An AI reads the plans, knows every regulation, and gives a decision in about 10 seconds. •Smart feedback: If the answer is “no,” the AI instantly lists the exact changes needed to turn it into a “yes.” 💰 Why time really is money From an entrepreneur’s perspective, the cost of delay is absurd: •Large construction projects in Miami are multi-billion-dollar investments. •Interest and running costs alone can hit $200,000–$400,000 per day. •Every day an application sits on a desk literally burns money and patience. 🤝 The deal that didn’t happen •Suarez immediately calls it a “$100 billion idea” and jokingly tries to recruit Bezos to build it together. •Bezos laughs and declines. He says he’s too busy and sees this as a massive opportunity for startups to solve the problem for cities worldwide. The takeaway is hard to ignore: This isn’t about faster paperwork. It’s about removing friction from society itself. Once AI handles decisions that are already rule-based, bureaucracy stops being a bottleneck. My take: systems that exist purely because “that’s how it’s always been done” are living on borrowed time. Five years might even be generous.

For 2026, I am going all-in on one idea: 'Unfoulable' Possession Football. I see football development trending in two directions: - Individualize: Break the game into tiny pieces, improve them, then glue them back together later. - "Let them play": Just step back, and you'll naturally get creative and technical players. Both are valid. Both work. But I’m here to demonstrate a Third Way. I believe in football as a team sport first. The idea is simple: If we play better team football, the players have to adapt. It’s a byproduct of the system. In other words: Through our way of playing we force the players to get better. The core of our way of playing is 'Unfoulable Possession'. It’s exactly what it sounds like: attacking in a way where the opponent can't even get close enough to make a foul. It works so well because players learn not to rely on being faster or stronger. It forces them to get creative and technically skilled. It teaches them to play in a way that allows them to compete against stronger opponents: - Have a narrow structure so you have options to solve problems without relying on physicality or speed. - Hide your intentions with feints to put the opponent on the wrong foot - Think ahead to know what to do before you have the ball - To control the ball well so you can keep the ball in tight space. Players learn that as a byproduct of playing based on this idea - without teaching each component in isolation or by just letting them play and hope they’ll develop them. I’ve been refining this methodology for over a decade. My plan for 2026 is to keep going down this path and pass on the lessons to coaches who are interested in this approach. Here’s the plan: 1 - Refine the Unfoulable Methodology every day. Mastery doesn't have a finish line. The better I get, the better I can teach it, and the better players we can develop. 2 - Build in public. Share my progress, experiences, and ideas on X (Twitter). 3 - Daily Insights. I'll extract one daily insight from the process and share it with my newsletter subscribers: 4 - The 100. I've put my methodology together that I teach to a small group of coaches to demonstrate how it works. I’m capping it at 100 people so I can actually help everyone one-on-one. That’s the plan. And while building this, I follow a code. Here are the rules: a - Build it my way. I’m ignoring the noise. If you listen to everyone else’s opinion, you just end up looking like everyone else. We’re sticking to the essence: Unfoulable. Everything else is just a distraction. b - Remove, not Add. Great football emerges not by adding more, but by removing everything unnecessary. We ruthlessly simplify the game. We cut every extra step, touch, or element. Simple isn’t easy. Simple creates more. The less waste, the more capacity for creativity. As Antoine de Saint-Exupéry wrote: “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” c - Mastery by repeating what you can, and not what you can’t. The common narrative is to push players out of their comfort zone to make them to grow. This approach focuses on what they can’t do. But there are infinite things players can’t do. If you focus on that, you won’t have the time to build up strengths. So, we focus on what they can do. And make that a bit better every day. Repeat this process over and over, and you’ll end up with powerful players. d - Master a few Core Games. We play the same few core games over and over again. This forces us to focus on mastering our way of playing instead of wasting time explaining and adjusting to new activities. / That's the plan. All that’s left is execution. If you’d like to follow along and get a daily insight on how we build our teams, join the newsletter: Bene.

For 2026, I am going all-in on one idea: 'Unfoulable' Possession Football. I see football development trending in two directions: - Individualize: Break the game into tiny pieces, improve them, then glue them back together later. - "Let them play": Just step back, and you'll naturally get creative and technical players. Both are valid. Both work. But I’m here to demonstrate a Third Way. I believe in football as a team sport first. The idea is simple: If we play better team football, the players have to adapt. It’s a byproduct of the system. In other words: Through our way of playing we force the players to get better. The core of our way of playing is 'Unfoulable Possession'. It’s exactly what it sounds like: attacking in a way where the opponent can't even get close enough to make a foul. It works so well because players learn not to rely on being faster or stronger. It forces them to get creative and technically skilled. It teaches them to play in a way that allows them to compete against stronger opponents: - Have a narrow structure so you have options to solve problems without relying on physicality or speed. - Hide your intentions with feints to put the opponent on the wrong foot - Think ahead to know what to do before you have the ball - To control the ball well so you can keep the ball in tight space.

Calmness, Trust, and Community: A Message to Our Pioneers Dear Pioneers, I want to take a moment to speak honestly and calmly with all of you. First, let me be clear: GCV has already been successful. Even though some pioneers may still doubt it or argue against it, this does not change reality. When we want to truly understand something, humility is essential. Calm your heart, study carefully, and allow yourself to improve. Some pioneers resist GCV because they have a wrong concept. They do not yet see their mistake. In many cases, they have not read the articles thoroughly or have misunderstood the information. At this point, it does not matter whether someone agrees or disagrees. What matters is that it has already been written into the system — fixed at both the institutional and retail level at GCV. There is no other option for Pi Network to realize its vision. Many pioneers ask: > “Why is it not activated yet?” “Why is it not officially showing that GCV has been accepted?” The answer is timing. When the timing is not correct, it is simply not yet the time to announce it. But this does not mean it did not happen. It has happened — it is just not visible to everypioneer yet.. Why? Perhaps someone are smart, have knowledge and have access to information but most pioneers don’t have this knowledge or skills — just like in the stock market. Here, the principle is the same. From our side, we can already see confirmation: From the economic side, GCV is confirmed. From the technical side, it is confirmed. But that does not mean everything is fully ready. There may still be regulations, compliance procedures, or coordination across more than 100 countries and multiple fiat currencies. It is complicated, and the team must handle it carefully. So, we should trust the PCT and give them the time. Meanwhile, live happily during this time, because we are almost at success. I want to remind you: Enjoy your life and be happy. If you don’t have a job, look for one. Sleep well. Exercise and make yourself physically and mentally strong. Maintain a positive energy in our community. The community is very important — not only before the full activation, but also after. We have a lot of information, belongings, and opportunities within the community. By contributing, reposting accurate information, or simply participating, you improve yourself and help build a stronger community. Even small contributions matter. Not everyone can participate fully, and that is okay. What matters is having the knowledge, confidence, and willingness to support the community. This work benefits both yourself and the pioneers around you. Calmness, patience, humility, trust, and positive energy — these are the keys to navigating this stage. Focus your energy on learning, improving, and contributing. Worry is unnecessary. Confidence, understanding, and steady action will guide us to success. Thank you for your trust, your patience, and your dedication. Doris Yin 🪷 🪷🪷

Understanding the BitTorrent Swarm — A Broader Look With Real Data Dynamics BitTorrent isn’t just a file-sharing protocol; it’s one of the most efficient large-scale distribution systems ever designed. At its core lies a simple but powerful principle: when users contribute bandwidth, the entire network accelerates. This is the swarm and its efficiency can be explained through clear data patterns and network behavior. 🔹 The Swarm Model: How Participation Becomes Performance In a traditional client-server setup, bandwidth is fixed. If 10,000 users try to download a 1 GB file from one server with 1 Gbps bandwidth: ➠ Maximum theoretical throughput per user: 0.1 Mbps ➠ Average download time: 2–3 hours ➠ Server overload: very likely BitTorrent rewrites this logic. When 10,000 users join a swarm and each contributes only 50–200 Kbps of upload bandwidth, the network’s total available throughput multiplies thousands of times. This is why, in real swarm studies: ➠ Larger swarms consistently show 30–400% faster download speeds ➠ Popular torrents reach equilibrium within minutes, not hours ➠ Throughput per user remains stable even under heavy demand BitTorrent’s efficiency grows with usage — something centralized systems struggle with. 🔹 Why More Peers = More Speed (Backed by Data Behavior) BitTorrent breaks files into hundreds or thousands of small pieces. Each piece circulates among peers using a strategy called rarest-first ensuring no piece becomes a bottleneck. Here’s what the data shows: 1. Bandwidth multiplication effect If each peer contributes: ➠ 100 peers × 100 Kbps upload = 10 Mbps swarm capacity ➠ 5,000 peers × 150 Kbps upload = 750 Mbps swarm capacity ➠ 20,000 peers × 200 Kbps upload = 4 Gbps swarm capacity This turning point when collective bandwidth surpasses any server is why torrents of large files often download faster than centralized sources. 2. Availability resilience Even if 90% of peers leave, as long as one full copy exists across the swarm’s collective pieces, the file is recoverable without interruption. 3. Load balancing automatically occurs BitTorrent’s choking/unchoking algorithm ensures: ➠ High-bandwidth peers exchange more data ➠ Low-bandwidth peers still participate ➠ No single peer becomes a bottleneck The data flow adapts in real time based on peer performance. 🔹 The Swarm’s Global Impact: Why It Still Matters BitTorrent traffic routinely accounts for: ➠ 10–20% of global internet upload traffic (varies by region) ➠ Multiple petabytes of data exchanged daily ➠ Millions of active swarms at any given time The model works because it scales with demand: ➠ More users → more bandwidth. ➠ More bandwidth → faster delivery. ➠ Faster delivery → stronger swarm health. This “self-reinforcing cycle” is a core reason decentralized systems from Web3 storage to blockchain data sync borrow heavily from BitTorrent’s architecture. 🔹 The Big Picture The BitTorrent swarm illustrates an important truth about decentralized networks: Efficiency doesn’t come from the center it comes from participation. When thousands of people contribute small amounts of bandwidth, the result is a global system capable of speeds that outperform traditional content delivery models. This is not just technology; it’s cooperative acceleration at internet scale. In One Line Files move faster when everyone contributes and BitTorrent proves it with real data. H.E.

Doris Yin's Message for 2025 3rd GCV Conference Dear Global Pioneers! Nice to meet you again — it’s been maybe one or two weeks since my last video, and I really miss all of you! How have you been? I hope everyone is living happily, staying healthy, and feeling safe wherever you are. 📷 So, what’s my topic for today? Recently, I’ve been thinking about something very important — our Global Pioneer GCV Conference. We have a lot of meaningful updates and plans to share. I’m not sure if you’ve been following my recent articles and videos, but today I want to remind you of your homework! What is your homework? It’s simple — share this information. Share this video. Share our promotion messages everywhere, every single day. Why is this so important? Because education builds strength. When pioneers are educated, they can support GCV, they can understand the true value of Pi, and they can value their own lives and build confidence. I always said no matter in Pi Network community or in your daily private life, living or working, you must study so that you understand what you should do and why you should do so that you can have confidence in yourself . That is why you need to promote 3rd Conference because of confidence in Pi Network. Right now, the world faces many problems — economic instability, misinformation, and a lack of trust. But we, as pioneers, have the power to change that by spreading knowledge, truth, and unity. One of the biggest problems today is that many people can’t find a job. Of course, it’s not always because they lack skills — sometimes it’s because of the global economy or their country’s economy. But remember this: If you keep studying, if you are a fast learner, and if you can stay focused, there will always be opportunities waiting for you. And when you do good things, when you help your community, and when you make the right choices, good energy will come to you. In Chinese, we call this “Qi (气)” — it means energy. When you have good Qi, you attract good people, good events, and good opportunities. This is very important, especially now. I know that many people are facing hard times. Around the world, many are unemployed, homeless, or struggling with debt. Even among our 60 million pioneers, many are living in hardship. Some cannot make ends meet, and life feels heavy. So how do we deal with this? I understand — many pioneers feel anxious. They want to get money right away. But this creates a conflict with our mission. Because the Pioneer work is not about short-term gain — it’s about long-term success. Our goal is to build something that lasts, something that gives value and dignity to every pioneer for many years to come. It’s not about the short term. For example, if everyone only thinks about selling Pi whenever the price goes a little higher, of course, in that moment, you might feel happy. You buy and sell, buy and sell. But this kind of behavior will hurt the Pi Network. It makes the system unstable and prevents us from reaching true global value. Of course, if you have an emergency situation, it’s okay to sell — that’s understandable. But for the long term, we should know that holding Pi, building the ecosystem, and supporting each other will make the network stronger and the value more stable. 📷 That’s exactly why we will hold our Third Global Pioneer GCV Conference — to discuss how to protect our value, how to strengthen our community, and how to guide pioneers toward long-term success and stability. Actually, we already entered Open Mainnet on February 20, 2025. That means the GCV path has been confirmed — that’s why we are now officially in Open Mainnet. If you read the 2019 White Paper, it says when the ecosystem becomes mature, we move into Open Mainnet. But in reality, the Core Team opened Mainnet while the ecosystem was not yet fully mature. So, what does this mean? It means there are different stages of Open Mainnet. The transition on February 20, 2025, was a technical stage, a signal that we are entering the process — not that everything is finished. Why do we need different stages? Because many pioneers still face financial hardship and difficulties. Some thought Open Mainnet meant they could immediately earn money or cash out, but that’s a misunderstanding. Open Mainnet is not just about money — it’s about building a strong, mature, and sustainable ecosystem first. Only then can the value of Pi truly shine and benefit everyone. In 2024, at the Singapore event, many pioneers felt disappointed. But I want to say — that disappointment came from a lack of education, not failure. Many people didn’t understand the long-term vision of Pi or the meaning of Open Mainnet. That’s why we are holding the Third Global Pioneer GCV Conference in 2025. Pioneers, if you truly want to succeed faster, if you want GCV to succeed, if you want to achieve financial freedom, then you must first focus on education, unity, and right behavior. Every pioneer has power — the power to influence others with your example, your words, and your actions. Use that power to help others understand, so all of our behavior moves in the same direction — toward growth, trust, and long-term success. That’s Pi Network’s long-term vision. From today, I ask everyone to read my article carefully, understand it deeply, and help your community understand it too. Discuss together, encourage each other, and spread the news about our Third Global Pioneer GCV Conference. This conference is important and meaningful. I know we’re all busy — I’m busy with my work too — but even while working, we can support each other. Exchange ideas, share tasks, and grow together. Make yourself strong. When you are strong, money will chase you. I live in a luxury condo and I never worry about money because I am fast learner and I build up myself good work ability and skills so I have a lot of good business opportunity. So build up yourself is priority instead of demanding outside world. If each pioneer acts patiently, wisely, and united, we will achieve lasting success for ourselves and for the world. Please remember — share this video and conference information everywhere, every day. Small, steady actions from each of us will create big, lasting change. Thank you all. See you at the conference — bye-bye for now. Doris Yin 🪷🪷🪷

There are two non-negotiables in accounting: the books must be correct, and they must be ready on time. For decades, companies have satisfied those constraints through an extraordinary amount of manual effort. Highly trained professionals code transactions, re-approve familiar expenses, reconcile mismatches after the fact, and compress all of it into the ritual of month-end close. It works. But it is fundamentally retrospective. Today, Ramp is introducing an Accounting Agent designed around a different premise: what if bookkeeping happened as the business operated, rather than after it? The agent captures, codes, reviews, validates, accrues, and reconciles spend continuously. It learns directly from the people who understand the nuances best, the accounting team itself, and applies that context in real time. At Perplexity, where velocity is part of the company’s identity, this has allowed their team to stop choosing between speed and accuracy. The majority of transactions are now coded automatically while remaining audit-ready, enabling close to start on day one instead of day thirty. What’s been most striking is how the system learns the subtle, company-specific logic that historically lived only in human judgment. As Jim Romano, CFO at Stateside Vodka, described it, the agent is already identifying patterns like when spend belongs in samples rather than travel and entertainment — the kinds of decisions that typically require institutional memory. As he put it, the goal is simple: finance teams should focus on exceptions, not the easy stuff. We’re also seeing the second-order effects emerge quickly. Teams report spending dramatically less time reviewing transactions and substantially more time on planning, analysis, and growth. As one CFO told us, “What used to take hours of manual review now happens automatically. I’m spending nearly all of my time thinking about where the business should go, not retracing where it’s already been.” There is a broader shift underway in accounting. The central question is moving from “what parts of close can be automated?” to “should close even be a discrete event at all?” One belief that increasingly guides our work at Ramp is that information latency inside companies is an invisible tax. When financial truth lags behind operational reality, organizations make slower and often worse decisions. As transaction data becomes inherently digital and systems become capable of learning institutional context, continuous close stops being aspirational and starts becoming inevitable. One thing that surprised us while building this: accounting isn’t constrained by a lack of rules — it’s constrained by how many of those rules are unwritten. Much of financial operations lives in patterns that experienced teams simply know. Seeing software begin to absorb and apply that tacit knowledge has been one of the clearest signals that accounting is entering a new phase. Accounting has always been the record for business reality. Our goal is to help it become something closer to real-time truth. Proud of the team, and grateful to the customers building this alongside us.

There are two non-negotiables in accounting: the books must be correct, and they must be ready on time. For decades, companies have satisfied those constraints through an extraordinary amount of manual effort. Highly trained professionals code transactions, re-approve familiar expenses, reconcile mismatches after the fact, and compress all of it into the ritual of month-end close. It works. But it is fundamentally retrospective. Today, Ramp is introducing an Accounting Agent designed around a different premise: what if bookkeeping happened as the business operated, rather than after it? The agent captures, codes, reviews, validates, accrues, and reconciles spend continuously. It learns directly from the people who understand the nuances best, the accounting team itself, and applies that context in real time. At Perplexity, where velocity is part of the company’s identity, this has allowed their team to stop choosing between speed and accuracy. The majority of transactions are now coded automatically while remaining audit-ready, enabling close to start on day one instead of day thirty. What’s been most striking is how the system learns the subtle, company-specific logic that historically lived only in human judgment. As Jim Romano, CFO at Stateside Vodka, described it, the agent is already identifying patterns like when spend belongs in samples rather than travel and entertainment — the kinds of decisions that typically require institutional memory. As he put it, the goal is simple: finance teams should focus on exceptions, not the easy stuff. We’re also seeing the second-order effects emerge quickly. Teams report spending dramatically less time reviewing transactions and substantially more time on planning, analysis, and growth. As one CFO told us, “What used to take hours of manual review now happens automatically. I’m spending nearly all of my time thinking about where the business should go, not retracing where it’s already been.” There is a broader shift underway in accounting. The central question is moving from “what parts of close can be automated?” to “should close even be a discrete event at all?” One belief that increasingly guides our work at Ramp is that information latency inside companies is an invisible tax. When financial truth lags behind operational reality, organizations make slower and often worse decisions. As transaction data becomes inherently digital and systems become capable of learning institutional context, continuous close stops being aspirational and starts becoming inevitable. One thing that surprised us while building this: accounting isn’t constrained by a lack of rules — it’s constrained by how many of those rules are unwritten. Much of financial operations lives in patterns that experienced teams simply know. Seeing software begin to absorb and apply that tacit knowledge has been one of the clearest signals that accounting is entering a new phase. Accounting has always been the record for business reality. Our goal is to help it become something closer to real-time truth. Proud of the team, and grateful to the customers building this alongside us.

15 YEARS OF TRADING ADVICE I started trading in 2011, and my first lesson was brutal but simple: trust the process and focus on getting better every day. My start was awful. Real-time trading was fast, chaotic, and unforgiving. I hesitated on entries, chased moves, and held losers far past my stop. I made the same mistakes over and over. Before long, I was at the back of my training class at Trillium Trading. Progress didn’t come from trading more — it came when I stepped back and built a framework for improvement: deliberate practice, structured review, and systemizing my work. I wasn’t making money yet, but my win rate and consistency were improving. That mattered. In 2012, I learned something that changed everything: most profits come from very few opportunities. I coined the “Broken Slot Machine” concept and drastically narrowed my focus to in-play stocks — names with exceptional volume, volatility, or fresh news. Cutting out noise was a turning point. I still trade this way today. 2013 was my breakthrough year. I stopped chasing complexity and built a small playbook of “easy money” trades — simple, repeatable setups with defined risk. A few mean-reversion plays. Small, consistent wins. Fewer unforced errors. That’s when my PNL finally stabilized and my confidence started compounding. In 2014, I nearly blew up my career. A fat-tail after-hours loss wiped out over $100K in minutes. That drawdown forced me to build strict drawdown protocols — daily, weekly, and monthly loss limits with zero exceptions. Those rules didn’t just save my career — they’ve saved countless others since. By 2015, I shifted my mindset away from obsessing over PNL and toward improving expected value every day — what I now call the Bobblehead Concept. Red days became feedback. Growth became the metric. That mindset carried me through the emotional swings of trading. In 2016, I learned how much environment matters. Trading isn’t purely an individual sport. Being surrounded by serious traders — sharing ideas, accountability, and lessons — accelerated growth faster than anything else. In 2017, I adopted the Daily Report Card habit. Daily reflection. One improvement at a time. Treating trading like a professional athlete reviewing game film. This single habit was foundational to everything that followed. In 2018, I stopped trying to be early. I learned to wait for the right side of the V — letting moves exhaust before entering. Risk dropped. Win rate rose. Size increased. Being right mattered more than being first. From 2019 onward, it was about 1% improvements, adaptability, and pressing size only when edge was extreme. 2020 rewarded preparation. After almost 10 years of trading, COVID hit and it was a day trader's dream market. Most traders scale linearly, but the real outlier performance comes from identifying when you have an A+ setup and absolutely maximizing it. Doing so allowed me to have my first year making over $10m in PNL. By 2021, my technical skills were dialed in. What mattered most was psychology and performance optimization. I realized that how I managed my mental game determined how consistently I could execute at the highest level. Once you have edge, your mental state is what determines how consistently you stick to your system and capture the opportunities in front of you. Strong mental game allows you to avoid FOMO, ragetrading, and other bad habits that leech our PNL. 2022 the markets slowed down and punished many that didn't adapt. I realized that survival in trading isn’t about always being aggressive—it’s about trading based on what the market requires of you. The best traders don’t try to force the market to fit them, they fit their trading to the market and evolve faster than everyone else. 2023 I started allocating more energy toward swing trading—holding positions for days rather than seconds or minutes. This, coupled with selling options premium, gave me the space to step back, zoom out, and build a more sustainable lifestyle. I was no longer glued to the screen 10 hours a day. It reminded me that trading is a means to an end. 2024, I pushed myself to go beyond stocks. I dove deeper into options, futures, and overnight trading. Each new product came with its own quirks, nuances, and edge opportunities. Learning these instruments wasn’t just about more tools—it was about building a truly diversified and adaptable trading approach that maximizes your expected value based on the situation. At the elite level, the more markets and products you open yourself up to, the more opportunities you have to profit and the more mediums you have to express your trade in the most effective way possible. Now at the end of 2025, after 15 years, the biggest lesson is this: There’s no finish line in this game. The best traders stay curious. They stay hungry. And no matter how good you get, if you’re going to stay relevant in markets, you need to always be learning. I'm excited to see what 2026 will bring and I wish you all nothing but health, happiness, and the success you all are looking for.

Dear Friend, I wrote this book for you. For the past year, I have labored to create a product that will help you learn and master SQL. I have been there. I have felt the frustration of trying to learn SQL and not knowing where to begin. I have lived through the struggle of setting up a platform to run SQL queries. Most platforms require sign-ups and logins that create a headache for learners. I also know the challenge of finding proper SQL exercises that mirror the real-world experience of a data analyst. Yes, I have been in your shoes. That’s why I created SQL Essentials for Data Analysis: A 50-Day Hands-on Challenge Book (Go From Beginner to Pro). Yes, to give you a clear, practical path from beginner to confident SQL user. ✅Why SQL Still Matters You may be wondering if SQL still matters in 2025. The answer: it has never mattered more. SQL is the lingua franca of data. Data still lives in databases, and the only language it truly understands is SQL. Think about it, even in Python, SQL is there. You’ve probably heard about the powerful pandas library. Guess what? It also has some SQL. And don’t get me started on BigQuery, Tableau, Power BI, and Databricks; the answer is the same: they all rely on SQL. SQL is the big shadow that hovers over everything data. This is why learning SQL is a must for data analysts, engineers, scientists, and anyone working with data. SQL connects everything: exploration, extraction, transformation, modeling, validation, and reporting. ✅Why I Wrote This Book Dear friend, I wanted to create a resource that gives you everything you need to learn SQL for data analysis. Quite often, resources are scattered across different places. You might learn theory in one place, search for datasets in another, and hunt for questions somewhere else. More often than not, the only place you can tackle SQL challenges is online. But online platforms usually focus on syntax and don’t reflect the messiness of real-world data. I wrote this book to give you the best of both worlds: theory and practice. I don’t want you to be worrying about where to find resources. I want you to focus only on learning SQL. If you are new to SQL or need a refresher on the fundamentals, Part 1 of the book has you covered. If you are looking for practice, Part 2 is 49 days of hands-on SQL challenges designed to mirror real-world tasks. Each day in the book is designed to feel like a mini project, rather than isolated exercises. Take Day 15: Standardize Climbers Data, for example: On this day, you’re not just writing a single query; you’re working with a dataset from start to finish. By combining these tasks, you experience a full data preprocessing workflow, just like a real project. You get to practice loading, transforming, cleaning, and validating data, all in one challenge. This approach makes every day a hands-on project, not just an isolated query. You’re learning how SQL is used in real-world scenarios, not just memorizing syntax. By the end of each day, you’ve solved a problem that feels meaningful and practical: yes, something that mirrors data analysts’ and engineers’ work in real life. In this book I use SQLite. I chose SQLite because it’s simple, lightweight, and runs on any system without complicated setups or cloud accounts. You don’t need to worry about complex configurations. SQLite allows you to focus entirely on learning SQL concepts, queries, and logic without distractions. You will just have to import it. I also structured the book for use in Jupyter or Google Colab notebooks. These are playgrounds for data analysts, engineers, and scientists. These environments are interactive and flexible. They let you run queries, visualize results, and experiment in real time. Using notebooks ensures that you can practice SQL while documenting your work and learning at your own pace, all in one place. No need for sign-ups. ✅Why 50 Days? I chose 50 days intentionally. Learning SQL isn’t a sprint; it’s a habit. You can’t truly master a language by cramming a few queries in one sitting. 50 days creates a commitment. You attach yourself to a goal, a tangible outcome. Every day is a small win, a step forward, and by the end of the journey, you’ve transformed your understanding of SQL. By spreading the learning over 50 days, you build momentum, consistency, and confidence. Think of it like training for a marathon. You don’t run 26 miles on the first day. You run a little each day, gradually building strength, endurance, and skill. By the end of the 50 days, you’ll have tackled a wide range of SQL tasks: from simple filtering to window functions, date operations, joins, and performance tuning. You’ll have not just learned SQL but truly internalized it. The goal isn’t to overwhelm you. It’s to give you a structured, achievable path that fits into your daily routine, so learning SQL becomes natural, steady, and rewarding. Even if you don’t finish within 50 days, the 50-day structure gives you a rhythm, a habit, and a sense of accomplishment. The kind of outcome that sticks long after the book is finished. In summary, I wrote the book to address these pain points: 🔶Not knowing where to start: The book gives you a clear roadmap that guides you day by day. 🔶Too much theory, not enough practice: Reading about SQL is not the same as doing SQL. This book includes hands-on challenges that mirror real-world scenarios, so you’re not just memorizing commands; you’re learning to think like a data analyst. 🔶Complex setup: Many learners get stuck setting up databases or configuring environments. You will not worry about complex setups; everything runs in SQLite3 inside Jupyter Notebook, so you start immediately. 🔶Disconnected learning: The challenges mirror real-world analytics problems. Every day here is like a mini project, giving you the experience of exploring, cleaning, transforming, and analyzing data ✅What I ask of You I wrote this book for you because I want you to succeed, but books alone don’t create mastery; your effort does. I have provided the tools. All I ask is that you show up every day. Even if it’s just 20–30 minutes, take the challenge seriously. Tackle the problems, experiment with your queries, make mistakes, and fix them. That’s how real learning happens. I also ask that you trust the process. The book is designed to guide you from beginner to confident SQL user, step by step. Some days will feel "easy" and others "hard." Stay the course, and by the end, you’ll see how all the pieces fit together. Finally, I ask that you bring curiosity and persistence. SQL is a language of logic and structure, but it’s also a language of insight. The more you explore, the more patterns you’ll discover, and the more confident you’ll become in solving real-world problems. Don’t be scared to experiment. If you commit to this, I promise you’ll finish 50 days with more than just knowledge. You’ll have the skills, confidence, and habit of thinking like a data analyst. To make starting even easier, as a subscriber to this newsletter, I’m giving you an exclusive 35% launch discount. You can grab your copy today and start the 50-day journey at a reduced price. Grab SQL Essentials for Data Analysis here: I can’t wait to hear about your progress, the insights you uncover, and the confidence you gain along the way. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me or post them in the comments section. Let’s start this journey together: one challenge, one query, one day at a time. Warmly, Benjamin PS.

🌍 Why Pi Migration Cannot Be Halted — We’re Building a New Economy Some Pioneers may wonder: Why doesn’t the Pi CT stop migration when the current price is low? The answer is simple and powerful: Migration is necessary — for Pioneers, the ecosystem, and the global adoption of Pi. Without migration: Most Pioneers cannot use their Pi. Merchants cannot accept Pi in transactions widely New users and external buyers have no path to join. In short, migration is the bridge between vision and reality. 🔄 Controlled Migration Is Strategic — Not a Mistake Yes, CT is moving cautiously. Migration is happening in phases, with restrictions to avoid flooding the market. But it’s not being halted — because they know how important it is for Pi’s real-world use and future value. The current low price of Pi is part of a bigger plan. It is a temporary phase designed to: Let the ecosystem grow Protect against manipulation from large holders or institutions. We must think of this process like a mother giving birth — it comes with pain and discomfort, but ultimately brings life and joy. What’s being born now is a brand-new digital economy, built by and for Pioneers. 🎯 Our Goal Is GCV Adoption — Not Just Price Increase The mission of the GCV Movement is not to pump Pi’s price overnight, but to help the community: Understand what GCV truly means, Use Pi in real transactions, Build and grow a vibrant ecosystem. Yes, price matters, especially for merchant confidence. A stable, steadily rising price — based on real usage — gives businesses more trust to accept Pi in its current massive adoption stages. But value must come from utility, not speculation. The value should be fixed when fully OM. When more people believe in GCV and use Pi in daily life: More merchants accept it, More transactions happen, Demand grows, Value increases naturally. This is how we build the foundation of a trusted digital currency — from the ground up, with the power of the people. 💰 Supporting Pi's Economy: Venture Fund & DApp Banks The Pi Core Team’s $100 million venture fund is a major step forward. It will: Support developers, Encourage innovation, Fund apps and businesses that accept Pi. We can also imagine future DApps that act like Pi-Fiat banks, helping users exchange currencies when needed. These systems can support GCV-based pricing, especially when demand is high. As long as enough people use Pi and the ecosystem is healthy, the “bank” can balance risks and keep transactions stable. At that point, GCV won’t be a risk — it will be a reliable standard of purchasing power. 🐚 GCV Is Trust, Just Like Ancient Money -Shell Remember: currency is just a tool. In ancient times, people used shells 🐚 as money — because they agreed it had value. GCV works the same way. If Pioneers and merchants agree to accept Pi at a consensus value, that value becomes real. It doesn’t require Wall Street or big investors. It only requires trust, usage, and unity. This is why building industry alliances is so important. When Pi becomes usable in retail, services, travel, health, food, and more, the ecosystem will no longer rely on fiat. Instead, Pi becomes a self-sustaining economy. ⚖️ Migration = Balance, Not Restriction CT isn’t trying to stop Pioneers from selling. They’re trying to balance the supply and demand so that the ecosystem can grow steadily. The key is to allow enough Pi to migrate to support business and usage — but not so much that it crashes the price. As a community, our job is to: Create demand by using Pi, Educate others about GCV, Support ecosystem apps and businesses, And most of all, believe in the vision. 🔥 Final Thoughts: The Newborn Economy Is in Our Hands We are not just Pi holders. We are builders of a new world economy. Let’s not get distracted by short-term price. Instead, let’s focus on: GCV adoption, Real-world usage, Expanding the ecosystem. Migration must continue. Usage must rise. Trust must deepen. Doris Yin 🪷 🪷🪷

Behind The Scenes In The Vegas Loop: Inside Elon Musk's The Boring Company Bold Bet On Urban Mobility Hey everyone. Tesla Owners Silicon Valley (Tesla Owners Silicon Valley) here. I recently had the chance to go behind the scenes with Steve Davis, President of The Boring Company, for a deep dive into the Vegas Loop in Las Vegas. This wasn’t a quick photo op. It was a full 47-minute immersion: riding through the LED-lit tunnels in a Tesla, visiting active construction sites with Prufrock boring machines, and hearing directly from Steve about what’s working today, and what’s coming next. I’m posting the full long-form video alongside this recap so you can experience it firsthand. But here’s the readable, “what actually matters” story from the tour. From “Traffic Is Soul-Crushing” To A Working Underground Network The Boring Company was founded in 2016, born of a familiar frustration: gridlocked cities that can’t build fast enough, cheap enough, or with minimal disruption. The premise is simple but ambitious: reinvent tunneling to make it practical infrastructure, not a decade-long mega-project. Las Vegas is where that idea is being tested at real scale. Instead of waiting for buses, shuttles, or rail schedules, the Vegas Loop aims to provide point-to-point trips in Teslas, fast, quiet, and emissions-free, connecting major destinations without the chaos of the Strip above. And after seeing it up close, what stands out most is how operational it already is. This isn’t a render. It’s a functioning system handling real demand, in real conditions, with real riders. What It Feels Like: Fast, Weirdly Fun, And Surprisingly Smooth The “Loop experience” is part transit, part sci-fi. The tunnels are lined with shifting LEDs—purples, greens, yellows—that make the ride feel more like entering a venue than commuting. Trips are short and direct. One example Steve shared: LVCC to Encore in about 85 seconds. But the biggest “wait, that just happened” moment on the tour was Full Self-Driving. FSD Underground (And Onto Surface Streets) We rode in a Model Y running Full Self-Driving (Supervised), which navigated the tunnels smoothly and then transitioned back to surface streets without intervention. Steve’s point wasn’t that autonomy is a cool demo; it’s that autonomy is a force multiplier for throughput, consistency, and future scale. Steve Davis: “Full Self-Driving Supervised is live commercially between LVCC and Encore, watch this: zero interventions as it navigates the tunnels and pops out onto surface streets seamlessly.” Right now, they still operate with safety drivers, but the trajectory is clear: as autonomy matures, the system can move more people with tighter headways and less variability than human-driven operations. The Numbers: “Spiky Demand” Is Where This System Wants To Win Vegas isn’t a steady-demand commuter city. It’s a burst-demand city: conventions, games, concerts, and tourist surges. Steve emphasized that this is exactly where the Loop model shines, because you can scale vehicles dynamically without rebuilding an entire transit line. During CES 2026, the Loop moved 90,000+ passengers, peaking at 6,600+ riders per hour, including 22,000+ trips to/from Resorts World, Encore, and Westgate. That’s on top of 3.5M+ total passengers since 2021. Steve Davis: “We’ve hit over 3 million passengers since 2021, and during CES 2026 alone, we shuttled more than 90,000 people, peaking at 6,600 passengers per hour without a hitch.” And beyond the numbers, there’s a secondary effect people don’t always talk about: for many riders, this is their first time in a Tesla, and it’s an unusually positive first impression. The Airport Connection: A Phased Plan With A Very Clear Endgame Connecting the system to Harry Reid International Airport is the crown jewel, and they’re doing it in phases to deliver value quickly while they work through the harder parts. Phase 1 (Live Now) Limited airport rides are already operating via a mix of tunnels and surface streets from existing stations, including Resorts World, Encore, Westgate, and LVCC. They’re doing roughly 50 test rides per day, and Steve noted 100 of ~130 vehicles are already “airport-ready” with transponders. Phase 2 (Next Couple Months) This is where things get meaningfully faster: a 2.2-mile dual tunnel from Westgate to 4744 Paradise Road, eliminating about two miles of surface traffic and stoplights. New stations are planned at Virgin Hotels, The Boring Company’s apartment complex, the former Gordon Biersch site, and Firefly. Fleet expands to 160 vehicles. Steve Davis: “Phase 2 kicks in soon: a 2.2-mile tunnel to Paradise Road, cutting out those surface miles and stoplights.” Phase 3 Extend to 5032 Palo Verde Road near Terminal 1, further removing surface bottlenecks around Tropicana and University Center. Fleet scales to 250–300 vehicles. Phase 4 (The “Holy Grail”) A direct underground station at the terminals, true curb-to-gate simplicity, fully underground. Steve Davis: “Phase 4 is the holy grail: a direct underground station right at the airport terminals.” The Big Build: 68 Miles, 104 Stations, Privately Funded The long-term vision is expansive: 68 miles of tunnels and 104 stations spanning the Strip, downtown, the stadium, and the airport. Core Strip construction begins this fall, with a 2027 target for that major phase, and further expansion into 2028–2029. Steve emphasized something important here: the funding model. These builds are privately funded, and the cost structure is the entire point: build rapidly and avoid “subway economics.” Steve Davis: “68 miles, 104 stations… all privately funded at about $10M per mile, versus billions for subways.” The Real Workhorses: Prufrock Boring Machines Up Close If the Loop is the user experience, Prufrock is the engine underneath it. Seeing Prufrock at an active dig site is hard to describe unless you’ve stood next to one. It’s enormous, loud, and relentlessly practical. The key advantage is that it changes the setup cost: it can launch from the surface without massive open pits, and it’s designed to move fast, with a long-term target of one mile per week. The machine isn’t just digging; it’s built around an integrated approach to lining, pumping, and maintaining the tunnel environment while staying cost-effective. Challenges They’re Solving In Real Time: Groundwater And Permitting One of the most interesting “myth-busting” moments was hearing Steve talk about tunnel conditions. Despite the desert setting, the tunnels are roughly 30 feet below grade, and in many areas, they’re fully submerged in groundwater, sand, clay, caliche, and water management, all part of the daily reality. Steve Davis: “Tunnels are 30 feet down, fully submerged in groundwater, desert myth busted.” They manage leaks through periodic sealing (foam, maintenance cycles) and now operate with stronger compliance processes for water treatment and disposal. The bigger long-term bottleneck, though, isn’t engineering; it’s approvals. Steve noted they need hundreds of permits (600+), and many can take months. Their push is toward a more streamlined, operator-style approval model, closer to how SpaceX is regulated: certify capability and safety, then execute without rearguing every step. Steve Davis: “Permitting’s the bottleneck… we’re advocating for a SpaceX-style operator license.” Fleet Scaling And The “Robovan” Strategy Right now, the fleet is about 130 Teslas, including Model Ys and Cybertrucks, tuned for tight turns and repeated high-frequency operations. The larger goal is to scale up to 1,200 vehicles as the network grows. And that’s where Robovan (high-occupancy, event-optimized vehicles) becomes strategically important. Steve’s framing was refreshingly clear: cars are more efficient for small groups. Robovans win when you can predict surges, like a Raiders game or a Sphere show, and load high-occupancy vehicles in advance. Steve Davis: “Robovans shine when everyone’s going to the same spot… that’s when you put the high occupancy vehicle in.” What’s Next: Suburbs, Regional Links, And Bigger Swing Ideas After the core network is built, they’re looking at suburban expansions (Henderson, Summerlin) via shorter demo segments first, proving utility for pedestrian and vehicle connectivity. And then Steve hinted at the kind of long-range thinking that gets people excited (and skeptical): longer-distance routes, potentially even Hyperloop concepts like Reno connections, if permitting and economics align. Steve Davis: “Suburbs like Henderson and Summerlin next… long-term? Hyperloop to Reno… private funding makes it doable if permitting catches up.” Final Take: Vegas Is Becoming A Live Testbed For A New Kind Of Transit This tour made one thing very clear: The Boring Company isn’t trying to win the “traditional public transit debate.” They’re trying to change the rules of what’s feasible, building faster, cheaper, and with an experience that people actually want to use. Watching FSD glide through the tunnels, seeing Prufrock tearing through the ground, and hearing the phased plan for the airport and Strip expansion straight from Steve… It’s hard not to feel like Vegas is a real-world preview of what mobility can look like when infrastructure is built like technology. Huge thanks to Steve Davis and The Boring Company team for the access and the time. And keep an eye out, I’m posting the full 47-minute video with this recap so you can see the ride, the sites, and the details for yourself. What do you think, would you ride the Loop instead of sitting in Strip traffic?
