Goddess of Victory: Nikke has generated 1.3 billion dollars in revenue in only 3.5 years since launching in November 2022. This matches the profit from selling around 32 million copies of a $70 AAA game after platform fees, marketing, and production costs. The game has over 20 million downloads worldwide: >Japan accounting for 48.3% of revenue >South Korea 19% >United States 17.3%. This is a great example of how the live-service gacha model can outscale traditional boxed games in revenue For context, even massive single-player hits like The Last of Us Part II or recent Call of Duty campaigns rarely clear that kind of sustained net impact without DLC/microtransactions of their own

The scale of financial exclusion remains stark: → 1.3 billion adults are unbanked → 4.7 billion lack access to credit → Private markets remain gated to retail Emerging markets are leading the response, turning to crypto as a vehicle for financial inclusion. Read more ⬇️

The Ellisons are set for a hefty bill. With a Paramount/Warner Bros Discovery antitrust trial set for March, Paramount will have to pay $7 million a day (roughly $1.2-1.3 Billion depending on when the trial ends) to Warner Bros because of the closing delay.

If food waste were a country, it would be the world's third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases, behind only the US and China. 1.3 billion tonnes of food thrown away. 8–10% of all global emissions – just from waste. Not from producing food. From wasting it. The climate crisis has a food waste chapter that almost nobody talks about. SOURCE: FAO "Food Wastage Footprint" report.

BREAKING: NovaRed Mining’s Wilmac Project Is Nearly 3x the Size of Manhattan, Comparable to ~30,000 Football Fields - and Already Entering the Conversation as One of the Largest Emerging Copper Projects by Land Scale $NRED / $NREDF is becoming impossible to ignore. The company’s Wilmac Copper-Gold Project in British Columbia now spans: • 16,078 hectares • 160.78 km² • ~39,732 acres • Nearly 3x Manhattan Island • Roughly 30,000 football fields By land scale alone, Wilmac is already comparable to some globally recognized copper mining districts and large-scale projects. This is why many investors are beginning to view NovaRed as a potential mega-project in development rather than a typical junior exploration company. But the bigger differentiator may be the AI infrastructure behind the land package. NovaRed’s MetalCore AI platform is designed to integrate: • satellite imagery • geology • geochemistry • magnetic anomalies • geophysics • ownership records • predictive modeling into one mineral intelligence engine capable of identifying high-probability exploration targets at scale. And the market opportunity could be massive. There are roughly 77 million landowners in the United States controlling more than 1.3 billion acres of land — most of which has never been analyzed using modern AI-driven mineral discovery systems. At the same time, copper prices are surging toward historic highs as demand accelerates from: AI infrastructure, hyperscale data centers, robotics, EVs, defense systems, transformers and global electrification. Recent North Lamont results reported copper values up to 379 ppm Cu alongside porphyry indicators and magnetic anomalies, with additional geophysical work already underway. Still early-stage. Still speculative. But by land scale, AI vision and exposure to the copper supply chain, this is becoming a very serious story to add to your watch list. DYOR! Do your work ! Do your own research ! Don’t rely on this information ! Everybody can lose in stocks !

⚡️Fintech Brief⚡️ Deutsche Boerse acquired a 1.5% stake in crypto exchange Kraken for $200 million. The investment values Kraken at $13.3 billion and represents one of the most significant institutional investments in a major cryptocurrency exchange. Kraken's co-CEO confirmed that the company has filed a confidential S-1 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, signaling preparation for a potential initial public offering. This regulatory filing follows years of speculation about whether major crypto exchanges would pursue public market access. The investment by Deutsche Boerse, a major financial market operator, underscores institutional confidence in cryptocurrency market infrastructure. The dual developments of strategic institutional investment and IPO preparation indicate growing convergence between traditional finance and digital asset platforms. @krakenfx Source: CoinDesk

every revolutionary movement follows the same arc: 1. idealists build something because the old system failed them 2. it works. attracts people who want the benefits but not the philosophy 3. money enters 4. mainstream users outnumber originals 100:1 5. ABSORPTION, the product evolves to serve the majority, loses “soul” 6. the originals feel betrayed, go underground or leave punk rock did this, open source did this, the internet did this, crypto is doing it right now. But the absorption is never total. encryption was classified as a literal weapon, cypherpunks fought a legal war just to export PGP, now E2E encryption is default on whatsapp alone for 3 billion people. Linux never won the desktop but it runs every server on earth. the revolution didn’t “die”, it just gets absorbed so completely nobody remembers it was one. Crypto has two paths from here. Path A: Absorption. 99% buy bitcoin through ETFs. AI agents settle payments on-chain because they can’t open bank accounts. crypto becomes invisible plumbing. nobody calls it “Crypto”, nobody cares about the philosophy, but permissionless rails run underneath everything. Path B: cascades of war, sanctions, currency collapse, institutional failure becomes a lived reality for millions at once. sovereignty stops being philosophy and becomes survival. the cypherpunk ethos stops being a subculture and becomes the default because the alternative already failed. the difference between path A and path B is just one crisis nobody saw coming. most people are only pricing in path A.
