A California entrepreneur is warning of a "giant sucking sound" of business leaders leaving the state if voters approve a proposed billionaire wealth tax. Proposition 40 would impose a one-time 5% tax on the net worth of billionaires who were California residents on Jan. 1, 2026, with 90% of the revenue designated for public health care services. Eric Schiffer argues the measure could push entrepreneurs, jobs and investment elsewhere. California's nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office says some billionaires may leave, estimating the tax could generate tens of billions of dollars temporarily while potentially reducing annual state income tax revenue by less than $1 billion. The measure goes before California voters on Nov. 3.

A few thoughts on the recent meme market This is not a paid promotion. —————————Meme Bull Case part1 1. GameStop was a "one-tap" event. Robinhood triggered the zero-commission war in 2019 and reduced options trading to a few taps. The real engine behind the GameStop squeeze was retail piling into cheap out-of-the-money calls → market makers hedging by buying shares → gamma squeeze. That only worked because options had become one-tap. Simplify access, and the event happens at that doorway. 2. fomo is standing in exactly that doorway for memecoins. In the cofounder's own words: "onboard, fund, and buy a token within 30 seconds." 68,000 people bought crypto for the first time through Apple Pay; 29% of users actually trade. Users went from 120K in November 2025 to 625K by June 2026 — 5x in seven months — with ~3,500 new signups a day. fomo captures 46% of Solana trading-platform spot volume. 3. It's infrastructure with capital and revenue behind it. $75M Series B at a $550M valuation (Index, USV, Benchmark). 140+ angels in the seed round including Solana, Coinbase, LayerZero, Wintermute, Pantera, and Dragonfly. A 17–20 person team hit a record $2.64M in weekly revenue and $16M for the month of August. Index partner: "We think there is a market shift there, and they have what it takes to capture this next wave." 4. It's already at the top of the US retail app charts. On August 21 it hit #3# in the US iPhone Finance category — behind only Capital One and PayPal, ahead of Cash App, Venmo, and Kalshi. It's not competing with crypto apps anymore; it's sitting next to banks and payment apps. Fifteen months after launch. 5. Robinhood is moving in the same direction. Robinhood Social (follow/copy trading) launched in March; Robinhood Chain launched in July. Vlad himself said it was "built for RWA, but it works great for memes too," and within nine days of launch a single token, CashCat, hit a $150M market cap on $500M of volume. The company that made GameStop possible just brought its own memecoin chain. 6. The team is preparing for the game to get bigger. A joint event with Pudgy Penguins during KBW, an official Korean channel, merch on the way — they're actively running community events and communication. Team feedback is fast and engaged. A model proven in the US is expanding into Asia, the densest retail market there is, and they look ready to absorb a surge when it comes. Axiom, Trojan, Photon, Moonshot — none of those teams ever did anything close to this kind of active offline community. fomo being this active is a good thing for those of us in the DEX trenches. Once again, for the record: fomo has not threatened me, and fomo has not paid me. 7. It's already visible in the data. From tracking fomo data: comments on new tokens are landing about 3x faster than before. The inflow isn't a forecast — it's happening now. 8. Life-changing headlines are already here. CashCat (Robinhood Chain): $85 → $2.5M (entered June 18, at a $142M market cap; $580K realized) CashCat + PONS: wallet 0x7e3ba, $220K in → $4.7M (reported September 1) Niu Lai / "cow head" (BNB): $120 → $205K, 822x (mid-August) ANSEM (Solana): +190,000% in 13 days, $260M market cap First $10M account on fomo (Bonk Guy, community-reported) Just as "I changed my life on Robinhood" stories pulled retail into GameStop, these headlines are doing the same job now. 9. The early call was right — and Ansem deserves real respect for it. Ansem has been saying "retail will come in through mobile apps" since the earliest days of the ANSEM token, long before fomo cracked the app-store top 3 or Robinhood shipped a chain. That's exactly what's playing out now. Calling the direction this early, and sticking to it while most people dismissed it as just another mobile app, is rare. I genuinely respect that, and if you're trying to read where this market goes next, he's someone you should be following. 10. All that's left is a trigger. The structure is in place — the doorway, the capital, the app-store rank, the chain, the team, the headlines. One Dogecoin-scale viral moment or one Bitcoin bull run is all it takes, and the snowball is already rolling. @RobinhoodCrypto @vladtenev @blknoiz06 @seyong @fomo

A US senator walked up to an airport checkpoint and refused to have his face scanned. His name is Jeff Merkley. He is the senator from Oregon. He has spent three years trying to get the TSA to tell travelers something the TSA already admits on its own website. The face scan at the checkpoint is optional. Almost nobody is told. There is one sentence that stops it. Here is the sentence, and everything the TSA does not want you to know about saying it. First, the TSA's own words. From the TSA website: "Travelers who do not wish to participate in the facial recognition technology process may decline the optional photo, without recourse, in favor of an alternative identity verification process, which does not use facial recognition technology to verify their identity." Optional photo. Without recourse. Those are their words, not mine. The TSA also says this on the same page: "Travelers will not lose their place in line for security screening." And using the alternative method "does not take longer." So the two things a TSA agent might tell you at the checkpoint, that you will hold up the line or take longer, are ruled out by the TSA's own website. Now the sentence. When you get to the checkpoint, before the scan, say this: "I do not consent to the scan and would like to have my ID manually verified." That is it. The officer will take your physical ID, either a driver's license or a passport, and check the photo against your face the way they did for the last twenty years. Merkley has documented himself doing this on flights between DC and Portland. Here is why almost no one knows. Senator Merkley has been pushing this since July 2023. He went to Reagan Washington National Airport that summer to publicly demonstrate the opt-out and to challenge the TSA on how the program is being run. The Washington Post covered it. In May 2025, Merkley introduced the Traveler Privacy Protection Act with Senators John Kennedy of Louisiana, Ed Markey of Massachusetts, and Roger Marshall of Kansas. Two Republicans, two Democrats. The bill is endorsed by the American Civil Liberties Union, the Electronic Privacy Information Center, Public Citizen, and three other watchdog groups. Merkley's own words from that press release: "Folks don't want a national surveillance state, but that's exactly what the TSA's unchecked expansion of facial recognition technology is leading us to." And: "Americans have the right to opt out of using TSA's facial recognition at the airport, and we need to protect that right. Our Traveler Privacy Protection Act safeguards the freedoms and privacy of all Americans by making sure no one is required to have their face scanned to travel." Here is what the TSA is planning. Facial recognition is currently at more than 84 US airports. The TSA plans to expand it to more than 430. That is nearly every commercial airport in the country. And per the bill's findings, the TSA is "eventually planning to make this technology mandatory for all travelers." Right now it is optional. That window is closing. The TSA says the technology is not being abused. Their exact wording: "Biometrics are not used for surveillance. Facial recognition technology is solely used to automate the current manual ID credential checking process and will not be used for surveillance or any law enforcement purpose." Take them at their word. The point is not that the TSA is doing something illegal. The point is you get to choose. Here is the 5-minute action you can take tonight, before your next flight. - Memorize the sentence: "I do not consent to the scan and would like to have my ID manually verified." - Have your physical ID out and ready. Driver's license or passport. Not a screenshot on your phone. - When you get to the podium, hand the agent your ID and say the sentence in a normal tone. Do not apologize. - If the agent pushes back or tells you it will take longer, calmly repeat the sentence. If they still refuse, ask for a supervisor. - This applies to TSA checkpoints only. International arrivals into the US go through Customs and Border Protection, which is a different agency with different rules. For most US domestic flights, the sentence above is what you need. Here is the last thing. The TSA already admits, on its own website, that this is optional. A sitting US senator has spent three years asking them to put that in plain sight at the checkpoint. They have not. The signs at the podium do not tell you. The agents often do not tell you. The airline app does not tell you. Congress is being lobbied by the airlines to keep it that way. Reuters reported in July 2025 that the airline industry publicly opposed Merkley's bill. Right now, before the 430 airport rollout, you still have a one-sentence way out. Say the sentence. Show your ID. Walk through.

A $160B market. Zero platform loyalty. Fans love events, not buying tickets. Sports Illustrated Tickets chose to build something better. At Summit, CEO David Lane will explain how @si_tickets_ uses Avalanche to create lasting fan relationships. Tickets: David launched Sports Illustrated Tickets in 2021 and has grown it into a live-events marketplace spanning sports, concerts, and theater, alongside an onchain primary ticketing platform. His view is simple: blockchain should stay out of the fan’s way while giving event organizers better tools to reward loyalty, build lasting relationships, and create value after the ticket is sold. Come to Summit to learn how SI Tickets is using Avalanche to rethink the ticket as more than admission, and turn a one-time purchase into an ongoing fan experience.

a tweet becomes a token in 24 hours. here's the funnel nobody names out loud: 🔸 a KOL mentions a name. Doesn't even have to say buy. Just says it with the right energy at the right time. Sentiment moves instantly. 🔸 early wallets already positioned start selling into everyone rushing in. 🔸 by the time it reaches your timeline as a "thesis" with a long thread explaining why it's fundamentally undervalued, The profit already left the building. this isn't a one off thing. It's a playbook. some projects run it deliberately. sometimes it just happens naturally. Either way the result is the same. the people reading the thread are rarely the ones who made money from it. know what you're buying before you buy it.
