👾 Play Solana has confirmed: shipments of the PSG 1, the first gaming console with a built-in wallet, begin on October 6. It won’t transform the gaming industry overnight, but it’s a milestone. The device paves the way for new gameplay models, token integration, and broader blockchain gaming adoption.

Web3 games have enormous potential, and I'm excited to watch the pioneers at work.

🔗 Google has introduced Google Cloud Universal Ledger, its own blockchain infrastructure for payments.

✦ Fast, scalable, and low-fee system
✦ Direct integration with Google Cloud services
✦ Programmable for custom use cases and app deployment
✦ Extra security with KYC and Google’s in-house protection tools

The company is now recruiting participants for testing. Google frames it as the end of “outdated” payment rails, pushing for 24/7 instant transactions with a strong tilt toward Web3.

🚩 MEV attacks are so bad they’re hitting scaling. MEV means bots profit off users’ unconfirmed transactions. Base and Solana use private mempools to block front-running, but hunters spam with speculative transactions until one lands.

An estimated 40% of Solana traffic is MEV spam, and there’s no easy fix.

💰 The fourth Satoshi Nakamoto statue has appeared in a new country. While everyone guesses the location, the point is clear: Bitcoin is a belief.

Each statue is a reminder that culture is above tech. Satoshi vanished, but the idea didn’t.

🤔 Fun fact: if you hold Bitcoin for more than 3 years, the chance of losing money drops close to 0%. Crypto rewards patience, not instant gratification.

Bitcoin doesn’t need your trust, just your patience.

🚀 Solana has cracked the 100,000 transactions per second (tps) mark. That's pretty awesome, even for a platform that was designed for high-scale use.

An engineer effectively spammed the network with low-value transactions, achieving a peak of 104,529 tps on mainnet. In other words, this wasn’t an experiment on a carefully controlled testnet.

We have come a long way since the early days of crypto, when Ethereum seized up when more than 15 tps were submitted for any significant period of time.

🇵🇭 The Philippines plan to build a 10,000 BTC reserve locked for 20 years. Not just major powers, even small island states are securing their place in the coming financial order.

Bitcoin is turning into a strategic currency, and the players now include those you’d least expect.

⚽️ Someone launched a fake Cristiano Ronaldo token, aka $CR7. Market cap shot to $140M and instantly dumped.

Same old story when people keep taking the bait. Celebrity tokens are either a short-lived hype or straight-up scams.

😪 Identify one source of anxiety in your life. Even in the background, it can quietly drain you. Some things you can’t change right now, but others you can.

Think of one small step you could take next week to ease that pressure. It might feel hard at first, but your future self will be grateful.

😎 “Compliant privacy” is the new buzzphrase. True privacy is still possible, but only if you don’t want to interface with the traditional financial system.

If you want to move funds between crypto and your bank account at some point, you’ll probably need to prove where they came from at some point.

Compliant privacy protocols allow you to make confidential transactions, but selectively reveal information about your activity if you need to.

⚡️ AI isn’t just driving productivity in the workplace. Like Bitcoin, it’s changing the way we think about energy.

Rolls Royce has claimed that its nuclear capabilities could make it the most valuable company in the UK, as the world races to find the energy to run power-hungry AI data centers.

AI and crypto are helping bring more renewable and long-term forms of energy online.

🤷🏼 The US DOJ says DeFi devs won’t be charged for “unlicensed money transmitting” if their code is truly decentralized and doesn’t touch user funds.

The irony is that just weeks ago, Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm was convicted under the same statute. The community is asking: if rules can shift this fast, shouldn’t justice catch up too?

🤥 AI browsers like Comet can be tricked by fake CAPTCHAs with hidden prompts, making them follow phishing links, enter card details, and even download malware.

Welcome to Scamlexity: a new era where autonomous AI runs scams on autopilot and humans pay the price. Now it’s about protecting both yourself and your AI.

💁🏼‍♀️ A Bitcoin café just opened on Isla Mujeres, a tiny island near Cancún whose name literally means “Island of Women.”

Love seeing Bitcoin as more than just tech or investment. For some, it’s pure inspiration for new beginnings.

🥇 The “best” tech doesn’t always win. People are fond of making the MySpace/Facebook analogy with Bitcoin. Not surprisingly, MySpace (one of the earliest social networks) was overtaken by Facebook and other platforms that offered better tech and more features.

But Bitcoin is about far more than simple tech including its strong community, fair launch, high level of decentralization, and global adoption.

One thing that’s funny: Bitcoin is now bigger than Facebook. Some people call it the “MySpace of Crypto,” but Bitcoin is actually more successful than the successful company in their analogy.

🤑 Have you already seen that crypto bro who tried to impress a girl by flashing his $61M wallet? Double fail: showing off your assets to strangers is a massive security risk, and trying to win someone’s heart with money alone is a dead end.

In crypto, just like in relationships, what really matters is personal qualities.

🐳 Now, there's a scandal around Hyperliquid. A wallet allegedly linked to Justin Sun went long on XPL (Plasma) on Hyperliquid. Price shot up +200%, short traders got liquidated. The position was closed with a $16M profit. On other exchanges though no pump at all.

Everyone's mad: turns out a whale can “play” the price inside Hyperliquid, punish arbitrageurs, and wipe out traders while staying untouchable. Trust in the DEX has taken a serious hit.

🤔 How did we get here? The history of fiat money in one clip. Modern money is a trust experiment that failed. Inflation, debt, vanishing value...

🍙 Japan’s Prime Minister just called Bitcoin and crypto “a once-in-a-century opportunity.” Hard to argue with that. We’re holding the tool that rewrites the rules: free capital, new markets, new economy.

Still time to be part of the story.

🎦 Bitcoin hits the big screen. In the new Eddington movie with Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal, the very first scene opens with The Bitcoin Standard book, and the BTC theme runs through the whole plot.

Bitcoin sneaking into a Hollywood script says more than another whitepaper ever could. It’s already part of culture.

🤟 Narratives about borrowing against your crypto are resurfacing again. The theory is great: use your crypto as collateral and borrow USD rather than sell the crypto. There’s no taxable event, and you pay the loan back in a depreciating currency.

Last cycle was full of companies (like Celsius and BlockFi) that let users borrow against their crypto. Many collapsed and customers lost their money.

Counterparty risk is real. Lenders force you to give up control of your crypto. Go into it with your eyes open.

😮 AI is evolving before our eyes. Better sound, better images, better video, better code. Almost every day brings new updates.

Recently, AI was used by researchers to create two entirely new potential antibiotics. The models learned from a huge database of medicines, and created previously unknown candidates.

They will need thorough testing, of course, but this is a huge step forward for medicine.

🤔 Things are really starting to cook in the crypto space. So, what do you want out of it? A little “FU” money? Some fun? A fulfilling new job or career? Early retirement? Freedom?

It gets harder to stick to the plan when everyone is going crazy. That kind of discipline can easily go out of the window. So, figure out your goals, decide whether they’re realistic, and go for it.

💰 ZachXBT reported another massive theft: on August 19, a victim lost 783 BTC ($91M) after scammers posed as exchange and hardware wallet support, using social engineering. Funds were funneled through Wasabi. Coincidence or not, the same trick stole $243M from Genesis Creditor exactly a year ago.

Data leaks have made personal info far too accessible, and scammers know it. In crypto, security starts with your own caution, not the tech.

🤔 The EU is considering launching its CBDC not on a private chain but on Ethereum or Solana, doubting the competitiveness of closed systems.

Unexpected but telling: governments are starting to trust public networks the same way millions of users already do. That’s real adoption.

🤖 Looks like we’ll get GPT-6 before GTA 6. Sam Altman confirmed the new model is already in the works and will arrive faster than the gap between GPT-4 and GPT-5. This one will focus on memory and personalization, even involving psychologists to shape more adaptive chatbots.

Technology is moving faster than society can keep up.
