#HSCLifeRules — Evan Cheng (evan.sui), CEO and Co-Founder at MystenLabs.sui Crypto’s idea of “solving privacy” is adding 12 chains, 4 L2s and a liquidity spreadsheet that needs its own onboarding tutorial, then acting surprised when capital fragments and efficiency disappears; meanwhile institutions are just standing there asking if there’s... show more

.david friedberg: “We are now at a moment where we are saying there is no longer private property in the United States. This is one of the foundational rights that the founders of the United States tried to create: a distinction between these other nations that everyone flees from, where a monarchy or a totalitarian government or some communist system says everyone owns everything together, or some small number of people own and control everything. And that’s what this always comes down to. Whether it’s a socialist state or a communist state or a monarchy or some other totalitarian regime, there’s a small number of people that own and control everything. And that is the brink that we’re on. Because they are trying to say, for the first time ever, there is no longer private property in the United States. That if the government can say everything that you’ve already paid your income tax on, and then you’ve bought and you now own, the government can take a piece of it every year based on the vote and the budgetary needs of an irresponsible fiscal legislature. We’ve lost it all. And that’s where we are. And we see this just passed in Illinois. People think it’s just crypto, just like they think that billionaire tax is just billionaires. But anytime the government can take your private property after you’ve paid your taxes, bought something, and put it in your garage, we are done for. That is when the politburo has unlimited capacity to tax and take and do what they want. That’s the moment we’re at.”

"If so much could be achieved in just twelve years, then one must ask: why did it not happen over all the decades before 2014? That is the difference between the Congress growth rate and the NDA growth rate. There was a system that made people wait. Today, there is a system that delivers results. There was a system where projects were delayed, decisions were deferred, and progress was held back. Today, there is a system that says the work will be done, done on time, and done at scale. That is why the story of India between 2014 and 2026 is not merely a story of numbers. It is the story of a nation that, for the first time, began to run at the full measure of its potential." — Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi

Have a great new week And this Monday I want to share some important news with you: $1.84 billion in DeFi pools. 85% of them are just sitting there... Not working. Not earning commissions. Nothing. $542 million every week is completely out of active trading range, meaning capital is locked up but useless. Liquidity providers are losing an estimated $150 million annually in fees. Sergey Kunts, co-founder 1inch : "Due to inefficiencies, DeFi liquidity providers are leaving billions of dollars of unused capital and millions of dollars in fees. If the industry is serious about moving trillions of TradFi to the blockchain, solving this problem should be priority number one." 1inch is already moving towards solving this. Full report in the comments 👇

Medea Benjamin, co founder of Code Pink, just went on and fed Rick Scott a completely different version of that Cuba trip. If this was really about “humanitarian aid,” where is it? No footage, no clips, nothing showing them actually handing anything out. But there are plenty of posts showing people in that group staying in hotels that U.S. policy specifically flags because the money goes straight back to the Cuban government. And every time that gets brought up, she just sidesteps it and moves on.

I made a short Video about something that annoys every single crypto user.... 👉 Waiting... 😑 Did you know that the average person spends about 5 years of their life just waiting for stuff... Waiting in line, Waiting for transactions, Waiting for pages to load, Waiting for food to heat up, We wait for everything and no one likes waiting... At least I know I don't! If you use crypto, you know the pain of waiting for bridge transactions. You select your tokens, pick your chains, hit confirm, and then you just sit there... 5 minutes, 10 minutes... Sometimes it fails completely and you have to start all over again. It's one of the most frustrating things in Web3. That's why I started using Bitget Wallet's bridge and I've never looked back. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the fastest bridge I've ever used. One tap and your tokens are on the other chain in seconds. Not minutes. Seconds. And it has never failed on me. Not once. Every single transaction goes through. It supports 25+ chains so it doesn't matter where your tokens are or where you need them to go. You just bridge and it's done! If you're still using bridges that make you wait and pray, try Bitget Wallet 🩵. You've waited long enough.

THIS GUY BUILT A REAL JARVIS THAT TURNS HIS IDEAS INTO FINISHED PROJECTS ON ITS OWN, AND HE JUST SHOWED HOW THE WHOLE THING WORKS The whole system runs on one clean split he calls a blood-brain barrier. The second brain, his Obsidian vault, is only for things that aren't real yet. Ideas. Each one sits in a project-shaped folder, waiting to be processed and turned into something real. Nothing executes there. The vault is the place where ideas get shaped, not built. Once an idea is signed off, it crosses over to the execution pipeline. That lives on his actual machine, or an always-on box, or a Raspberry Pi, depending on what the project needs. Inside that machine is a fully Claude-native file system. The key piece is one CLAUDE.md file sitting in the root of his documents folder, acting as the map to everything in there. So he just opens Claude and says "go to my projects folder," and it already knows the whole structure, because that root file explains it. Two zones, one rule: the brain holds what isn't real, the machine runs what is. That separation is what keeps the ideas from tangling with the work. Bookmark this

The most interesting thing about blockchain payments is how ordinary the goal has become. What was once a logistical and compliance nightmare is now "just another form of money" moving from one place to another, on a rail that settles faster or cheaper than the alternative. In this clip, our co-founder and CEO, Sami Start, describes how apps are increasingly using blockchain as a substitute for traditional payment methods and that the end user never needs to know it is there. The payment looks the same. The rail underneath is different. Explore the payment rails of the future at →

Liquid AI (Liquid AI) CEO Ramin Hasani (Ramin) says: "We're bringing the cost of tokens to zero." "The axis was maximizing intelligence at all costs." Foundation models need to optimize across 3 axes: 1.) Intelligence and capability 2.) Efficiency and cost 3.) Substrate: where the intelligence actually runs "Efficiency is not an afterthought. Energy is not abundant." "If you maximize intelligence at all costs, that axis alone is not going to get you to the place that you want to go." "Efficiency and cost of intelligence as a first-class citizen, and not an afterthought." "Where does this intelligence system go? AI is majorly getting hosted in data centers, but you could also bring intelligence on phones, on laptops, on airplanes, on cars." "Imagine if it's not tokens that are actually important. It's just the outcome that actually matters." "Not just thinking about foundation models as the token machines that are generating money and revenue for the foundation model companies that are useless tokens, and getting them into the place where they can actually unlock true value for enterprises."

Andrej Karpathy spent 2h showing how he actually uses AI day to day he's a co-founder of OpenAI and led AI at Tesla, so when he shows how he works, it’s worth watching and the whole session is just him telling the machine what he wants in simple terms, like he's briefing a coworker watch what's actually happening the entire time: > he describes the task in normal words > it goes off and does the work > he glances at the result and nudges it with one more sentence that's the whole skill, and you've had it since you learned to talk the only gap between that and a worker that runs on its own is handing that sentence a schedule and the tools to act check his work, then build the version that keeps working when you stop

.mert on why Zcash's privacy isn't privacy for its own sake “In Zcash's case the privacy isn't privacy for its own sake — it's to enable a better monetary property for that asset. One thing you might think of is fungibility” “If a coin has history and you can see its provenance, there is a case in which you will not be allowed to use that coin because of its history. Whereas cash is devoid of all information. If I give you a $5 bill, you don't see anything about where it has been” “One thing people might have missed in the Ironwood upgrade is that it is now quantum recoverable. You've probably heard the panic about Bitcoin's quantum readiness — Zcash is quantum recoverable today, and quantum proof toward the end of autumn” “A store of value fundamentally requires a low entropy channel. Entropy is defined as surprise — you don't want to be surprised. You want to be able to just store it somewhere, and that's that” “Zcash is also scaling: 75-second block times going to 20 seconds, with a target of a few thousand TPS”

Qullamaggie on Only The Home Runs Will Make you Rich “Look at this APPS. If you bought this 5-star setup. Okay, this is what I'm talking about. Big move, okay. Pullback sideways. It surfed 10 there, then 20 there for a while. But then it kind of went sideways a little bit further. But then it started building higher lows. And a tight range and break out of this range, right? This is a five-star setup. And now, you should have sold a third or half on day 3 or 4 or 5, and you would still be in half or two thirds of your shares and trail this thing with the 10-day moving average. This is why you always trail some, because now and then you're gonna catch these stocks that double or triple in a short amount of time. Those are the ones that are gonna make you rich, okay? Those are the trades that are gonna make you rich. Everything else is just a grind. You gotta find those home runs. The home runs are gonna make you rich, okay? Most of the time, trading is just a grind. Like 70, 80% of the time. But now and then, the market gods bless you with a home run. All you have to do is identify the setups and follow the rules. That's it.”

EthLabs Co-founder Ansgar Dietrichs on why Ethereum must be the central node of the on-chain global economy “When we say the global economy is coming on-chain, I believe there are two very different ways that can play out. What I see as the default is you have this world of all these different, independent chains [with different use cases] and then you tie them all together with brittle links. Over time you try to derisk these links, but we’ve seen this multiple times in the past — bridges keep failing. Bridges between independent chains can only ever be so secure/robust because ultimately these chains don’t have a shared state.” Ansgar continues: “The alternative outcome is one where the global economy has one central node — that doesn’t mean that all the activity is on that node or Ethereum L1, but it means that there’s one central node that everything links back into. We are in a fundamentally better state for the world, when all these different parts of the economy can talk to each other trustlessly and without friction. And we really believe that it’s only Ethereum that can play that role. There is no second-best, neutral chain that actually has a shot at this. But that doesn’t mean it’s inevitable. We could just end up in the worse world.” This is why EthLabs is focused on, as Ansgar puts it, “talking to the builders in Ethereum, figuring out what are the friction points — especially as we build toward bringing finance and these economic flows on-chain — and iteratively removing them and strengthening Ethereum.”

“Every time you comply, you get weaker.” — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. We learned during COVID how quickly freedoms can disappear when people are told that surrendering “just a little” liberty is necessary for their own safety. Now we have flock cameras expanding government surveillance. Recording where we go, who we associate with and what we do. Every surrender of privacy and freedom establishes a new baseline for what we are expected to accept. “Every capitulation is a signal to the oppressors to impose new forms of torment, or torture, or compliance, or obedience.” Freedom rarely disappears all at once. It is surrendered incrementally. One justification, one emergency, one new system at a time. Every time we give up a freedom, we make it easier to take the next one. Draw the line.

Happy 4th of July? Millions of Americans think they’re celebrating 250 years of “freedom” today, but what they’re really celebrating is 250 years of corruption, endless war, and a capitalist system that exploits the many to enrich the few. The uncomfortable truth is none of us in the U.S. are free. We are owned by banks, exploited by billionaires, and controlled by two parties that sell us out at every turn. Freedom is just the illusion they sell to hide the cage and prevent people from ever questioning the dictatorship of capital that controls, exploits, and monetizes every aspect of our lives from birth to death. Where is the freedom when a handful of billionaires [and a trillionaire] hoard ungodly fortunes through the mass exploitation of our labor and the mass extraction of resources that belong to our communities? Where is the freedom when our tax dollars fund endless wars, genocide, and the mass murder of children abroad all to further enrich the billionaire class? Where is the freedom when 70% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and struggle to afford basic needs like housing, healthcare, and groceries? Where is the freedom when 75% of Americans can’t afford a median-priced home, 100 million Americans live with medical debt, and 140 million Americans are poor or low-income? There is no freedom here. We are all prisoners of a decrepit capitalist system that keeps us trapped in the rat race by demonizing the one economic system, socialism, that would put the economy in the hands of the people. Imagine a world where workers own the means of production, resources are used for the benefit of all, and decisions are made to meet the basic needs of the people rather than the endless greed of billionaires. That is socialism, and there is nothing scary about it. What is scary is continuing to allow a handful of billionaires and two capitalist parties to control our entire economy and make life-or-death decisions for all of humanity. Now is not the time to celebrate a “freedom” that we never had. Now is the time to fight for our freedom from the dictatorship of capital.

13,000 employees became 3 in the space of one week. It’s quite difficult to comprehend what that would do to a person. Adam Neumann is the co-founder of WeWork. He grew the company to a $47 billion valuation before its failed IPO, his departure as CEO and one of the most public corporate collapses in recent history. I’ve met hundreds of extraordinary people doing this podcast, but within a few minutes of meeting Adam I realised he was quite unlike almost any founder or CEO I’ve met before. There’s a depth, philosophy and perspective to him that is incredibly rare. So I wanted to understand where that came from and what the last few years had actually done to him. We talked about: - His relationship with money and where it went wrong. - The friends who disappeared when everything changed. - The mistakes he made as a leader. - Why he now surrounds himself with people willing to tell him no. - Why he disconnects from technology for 24 hours every week. One thing that stayed with me is how easy it is to believe in yourself when everything is going up and everybody wants to be around you. The more interesting question is what you believe when everything is crashing. You can have your own view on Adam and WeWork. That tension is partly why I found this conversation so interesting. I wanted to know what all of it taught him. Out now on all platforms ❤️👊🏾

13,000 employees became 3 in the space of one week. It’s quite difficult to comprehend what that would do to a person. Adam Neumann is the co-founder of WeWork. He grew the company to a $47 billion valuation before its failed IPO, his departure as CEO and one of the most public corporate collapses in recent history.
