GATES WOULD'VE BEEN RICHER THAN MUSK Bill Gates would have been a trillionaire and the richest man in the world over SpaceX $SPCX and Tesla $TSLA CEO Elon Musk if he had never sold his Microsoft $MSFT stake. But the worst exit by multiple is Ron Wayne, who sold 10% of Apple $AAPL for $800 in 1976, a stake Fortune says could be worth up to $400B today, or 500 million times what he got.

Gatekeeping is necessary if you want to protect your hobby. Every anime or game with a healthy fandom actively filtered the antis. They show up fast and will ruin things if you don’t push back. What’s also concerning is the attempt to erase concepts entirely — tomboy erasure is real and I’ve seen it multiple times. Same thing with femboy erasure. Antis can’t engage with media without forcing politics into it. It’s beyond them.

Gate announced Gate Money on the TOKEN2049 main stage, built around "One Gate, Everything Money": fiat, digital assets, stocks, payments, and asset management, all through a single entry point. The direction at this year's conference is clear: OKX is talking ICE and compliance, Gate is building all-in-one finance, and exchanges are all turning into "financial super apps." The crypto-exchange-wants-to-be-a-bank vibe keeps getting stronger. But anyone can write a feature list. What matters is the real experience: account-opening barriers, regional availability, and whether licenses keep up. It only counts if one entry point can truly handle all your money. @Gate

Gate's August rally is holding into September, but the leaders have changed 🔥 @Gate trading volume has not faded after the August rally. In the first half of September, average daily spot volume is $1.68B, 57% above the pre-rally baseline (Jul 1 - Aug 14), after peaking at $2.09B (+95%) during the rally itself (Aug 18-31). Perpetual markets account for $11.77B, 38% above the baseline and only 2% below its rally level of $12.1B. Spot remains the stronger side of the recovery relative to July, but it has given back about a fifth of its rally volume, while perpetual markets held steady. A look into the major coins shows that Bitcoin has cooled, while altcoins have taken over. Bitcoin spot volume is now 21% above the pre-rally baseline, down from +87% during the rally. Bitcoin has lost 8.4 pp of Gate’s spot market share since July. Ethereum has also slowed down. From +122% during the rally, to +69% above the baseline right now. Meanwhile, several altcoins are traded more in September, compared to the rally peak: - Spot: ZEC +201% (rally +145%), NEAR +181% (+69%), BNB +107% (+77%) - Perp: ZEC +745% (rally +310%), UNI +386% (+98%), BNB +171% (+82%) - Spot Market Share (September vs. July): SOL +1.6 pp, ETH +1.5 pp, XRP +1.1 pp, BTC −8.4 pp Looking at major altcoins, XRP shows the sharpest cooling in perps: from +174% volume increase in the perpetual markets during the rally, to only +30% right now. In spot it is still +138%. Next to it: Spot Volume is still growing faster than perpetual volume for most majors. SOL is +108% in spot versus +47% in perps, and XRP +138% versus +30%. The exception is BNB, where perp volume is up +171% against +107% in spot volume. Bitcoin and Ethereum have actually grown more since the rally (+40% and +46%) than their spot pairs. Overall, August’s rally started with Bitcoin and Etheruem, and has broadened in September. The two largest assets have handed the lead to SOL, XRP, ZEC, BNB and a rotating set of small caps, and spot is still the larger relative gain to July, though perps have held their August level more
