THIS EDIBLE MUSHROOM MAKES YOU SEE LITTLE PEOPLE FOR DAYS 🍄 On August 25, 2026, Jesse Michels told Joe Rogan on JRE #2545# that Lanmaoa asiatica, a common market mushroom from Yunnan and the Philippines, only named by science in 2015, triggers vivid, three dimensional visions of tiny humanoids if it is not fully cooked. The figures appear 12–24 hours later and can linger for days. They are described as 3–30 cm tall, colorfully dressed, walking on furniture, crawling under doors, and obeying gravity. University of Utah researcher Colin Domnauer found none of the known psychedelic compounds in the fungus. These “xiao ren ren” match centuries of fairy, gnome, and small being reports that now overlap with modern UAP/NHI encounter testimony. John Allegro, an original Dead Sea Scrolls translator, argued in his 1970 book that early Christianity encoded a mushroom cult; a 13th-century fresco in France’s Plaincourault Chapel shows Adam and Eve beside a red capped, white spotted mushroom instead of the usual tree. If a single undercooked food can open a window onto persistent little people that science cannot yet explain, are we looking at chemistry, or a temporary tune in to the same non human presence experiencers keep describing?

If you’re reading Sonic V2.2 as just transaction batching, you’re missing the real story. The breakthrough isn’t that multiple transactions can execute together. The breakthrough is that @SonicLabs is moving blockchain execution from transactions to outcomes. Today, users don’t want to sign approvals, wait for confirmations, bridge assets, submit deposits, manage retries, or recover from failed steps. They want a result. Swap this token. Open this position. Move this capital. Generate this yield. But traditional EVM execution forces a single intention to be broken into multiple independent transactions, where any step can fail while the others succeed. That’s not a UX problem. That’s a limitation of the transaction model itself. And it’s a limitation every EVM chain inherits. Sonic V2.2 attacks the problem at the protocol layer. Not through smart wallets. Not through account abstraction. Not through custom frontends. At the network layer. With Bundled Transactions, multiple independently signed transactions can share the same fate: Either everything happens. Or nothing happens. No partial execution. No half completed positions. No stranded approvals. No broken workflows. This matters far beyond convenience. It reduces execution uncertainty. It eliminates many opportunities for interleaving and MEV exploitation between dependent actions. It makes sponsored onboarding economically safer because gas sponsorship only pays when the entire outcome succeeds. And most importantly, it creates the kind of deterministic execution that future onchain businesses will require. Humans can recover from failed workflows. AI agents cannot. Payments, RWAs, treasury systems, autonomous agents, lending markets and complex financial applications need certainty, not a collection of loosely connected transactions hoping to succeed in sequence. That’s why the most important line in the entire announcement isn’t Bundled Transactions. It’s this: This is not a UX problem. It is a structural limitation of the transaction model. Sonic isn’t introducing another convenience feature. It’s introducing a new execution primitive. The chain already solved speed. Now it’s solving certainty. And that’s the deeper meaning behind a simple phrase: Bundled by Default. $S

You can be a fisherman with a rod. Stay near the surface, wait for movement, and catch individual opportunities. Sometimes small fish. Sometimes a big one. You can get more sophisticated – cast nets, widen your reach, learn to process more signals. There’s nothing wrong with that. Trading is a craft too. But I’m increasingly interested in a different level of the game. Not just watching what happens on the surface, but studying the deep currents underneath. Imagine enormous underwater turbines. They don’t try to profit from every individual wave. Their job is to be positioned in the right place and harness the energy of a massive, persistent current for years. That’s increasingly how I think about long-term strategic investing. Beneath the surface of the market, enormous flows of capital are constantly moving. Infrastructure changes. New financial rails emerge. Capital gradually moves onchain. Some assets lose relevance, while others become foundational pieces of a new economy. At the same time, traditional money keeps being debased. Over short timeframes, most of this is almost impossible to see. There’s simply too much noise. But over 5, 10, or 20 years, these are exactly the kinds of currents capable of powering the biggest turbines. That’s why I’m far more interested in finding the assets and infrastructure positioned inside these deep capital flows than trying to predict the next candle. Fundamental protocols. Productive assets. Dividend and cash-flow mechanisms. Networks through which an increasing share of economic activity may eventually flow. And above them sit the enterprises – onchain companies and funds. The turbines beneath the surface extract energy from the movement of capital. The enterprises turn that energy into cash flow, rewards, yield, and growing equity. And the most interesting part? I don’t think the major repricing has happened yet. This may not even be about another crypto cycle. It may be about the first major global repricing of onchain financial infrastructure as a real component of the world economy. A fishing rod catches fish. A net catches more fish. I’m more interested in understanding where the ocean itself is flowing – and placing the turbines there. @theholding_

Curve is part of the inaugural Universal Token Ratings cohort from @DefiLlama and @Forgd_. It received a score of 52.94 and a grade of AA, based on project disclosures and live market data. That places Curve in the top three. Not bad!

🔥 $S waking up… That circled green candle was just the start. History = 6000%+ pumps from the lows. Same setup right now. 10x–20x potential loading. Don’t sleep. #Sonic# #S# Former Fantom Chart

Sonic $S is up 41% this week and the social data says why. Mentions: +3.1% Engagements: +161.2% Creators: +8.2% Sentiment: 72% AltRank: #12# Engagement per mention went from ~78 to ~197 in seven days. The crowd did not get bigger. It got 2.5x louder. That is a concentration move, not a discovery move. Rallies built on a few high-reach accounts unwind faster than rallies built on new mentions. What is driving it: CEO Matt Visser on RWAs and bank pilots, plus Demo Day selecting 8 projects from 300+ applicants. Context for the 41%: $S still trades ~97% below its Jan 2025 high with TVL near $20M. Big percentage, small base.

🚨If Aliens Exist on Earth...They Might Look Like This👇 📍Indian Ocean 📅Depth: 3,753 ft 🔴An ROV captured this bizarre creature near an offshore drill wellhead, more than 3,700 feet beneath the surface. 🔴It’s a comb jelly - a real deep-sea animal known for its translucent body and incredible ability to change its appearance as it moves through the water. 🔴Near the end of the footage, the creature gets caught in the ROV’s thruster flow, causing its body to deform and transform in an absolutely bizarre way. 🔴NO CGI. NO EDITING. JUST A REAL CREATURE FROM THE DEEPEST PARTS OF OUR OCEAN. 🔴And honestly... if you saw this without context, would you even guess it was a jellyfish?
