🚨 TODAY: The SEC issued an order granting temporary, conditional exemptive relief to Tokenized Securities Venues from the definition of “exchange” in the Exchange Act to trade tokenized NMS stock using innovative permissioned automated market makers and liquidity pools.

for zcash, privacy is often misunderstood as the end all be all that certainly serves a clear market segment and is incredibly important but I posit the more significant part of privacy is its role in enabling a better monetary asset privacy enables choice, but more importantly it enables the safe haven and fungibility required for a true internet-native SoV internet-money by default has historical information attached to it which means that one coin may not actually be fungible for another coin (i.e if the Canadian government determines your coins came from those supporting the truckers, they can come after you for years into the future) i.e the money you receive shouldn't come with the baggage of those who held it before you cash does not have this problem and is devoid of all information which enables true fungibility and higher liquidity in the limit, and so too must internet-native money have this property even with gold and other offshore holdings, there's a reason people (used to) put them in Switzerland to take advantage of bank secrecy but with Zcash, we now scale this to the entire planet. that's the point of tech: scale now, all you need is an internet connection and a cryptographic keypair to get all these benefits that were only available to a select few so, even if you're someone who doesn't need the privacy aspect of zcash, it's still foundational for enabling a better monetary asset along with quantum proofing and performance upgrades trillions

StockRip: the original stock-backed trading cards. We invented trading cards packed with stocks. Our permissionless vending machine facilitates the sale of fully onchain digital trading cards containing Robinhood stock tokens. Rippers pull cards through a verifiably random gacha mechanism. Stockists deposit stock tokens to mint cards and earn ETH. StockRip has been live on Robinhood Chain since 27 July 2026, with 1,750.5 ETH in sales across 76,500 rips by 1,000 unique rippers. We are proud of our commercial success, alongside the technical achievements that make StockRip possible: 🏦 ERC-6551: Every card is its own wallet, holding real stocks, staked RIP, and the NFT deposited into it. 🤝 Composable ownership: Sell the card and everything inside it goes with it. 🎨 Fully onchain SVG: No IPFS or servers. Artwork is stored entirely onchain using SSTORE2 chunks. 🔏 Signed art: A card can only display the NFT it actually holds. ✨ Procedural effects: Glass refraction, specular lighting, and foil effects are generated entirely in Solidity. 💎 Dynamic finishes: Cards update live and move through six finishes as their value changes. 📈 ERC-8056: Stock share counts remain accurate through stock splits. 🔮 TWAP oracle: Our own Uniswap v4 TWAP oracle, built because v4 does not retain price history. 💸 Portable yield: Staked RIP earns ETH for the card itself, so its yield travels with the card when it is sold. 🪝 Uniswap v4 hook: Built with EIP-1153 transient storage. ⚡️ One transaction: ETH → basket of stocks → minted card.

@vladtenev @BTCBob100k Ok, shooting my shot. Invented stock-backed trading cards and launched them into a permissionless onchain vending machine. StockRip has been live on Robinhood Chain for 7 weeks and over $4.2M worth of stocks have been ripped. What’s the best way for @stockripx to reach you?

do you ever take a step back and ask like the most absolutely basic question "is there a SINGLE thing in my life that is meaningfully more efficient due to AI, outside of writing code" Airbnb. Shit show. Uber. Shit show. Doordash. Worse than it was. Average employee: cooked. Power: doesn't work. Water: no idea if it's poisoned, govt is corrupt. Airlines: frozen for months at a time due to govt shut downs. Gasoline: mooning bc (checks notes) in a stalemated war w a 3rd world country Even GTA 6 apparently couldn't be accelerated with AI and took years to build. is there a single video game you actually play that's built entirely with AI? it seems like all the demos are just dudes making some shitty vaporware game nobody plays and the posts are like "yo I spent only $1,800 in tokens to make some dogshit that demos well for clout" and they have a $500k marketing subsidy from a lab. "I've been lucky enough to use Astra for 3 months and I finally can talk about it." okay, what the fuck did you ship? yes, you shipped nothing other than more AI analytics dashboards about how many tokens you're burning and all the AI influencers look like Twinks. like, they get the tokens bc they're in some weirdos polycule or burning man camp or whatever kinkfest in an SF sauna that moves the needle that's why this whole "Pace the frontier" thing is so retarded. Pace what exactly. Productivity is at ONE POINT FOUR PERCENT ANNUALIZED. THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS CLOSED. where is Anduril? where is the killer robot? if it's so dangerous can't you send it to a fcking war zone and win? oh. turns out it's not dangerous and you're just mentally ill. cool. but Trump says it can't stop. it won't stop. bc the debt and productivity situation is so fcked that AI is the ONLY REASONABLE WAY WE AVOID COMPLETE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE. but once you understand how utterly insane that all is - you see how bullish it is. AI literally doesn't fucking work. Subagents are a meme bc agents break down at 2 orders of abstractions and start vomiting technical debt and overengineered garbage. Everyone is working 2x as much to manage agents, not going for a walk voice prompting. do you have any idea how much money needs to be invested to move productivity from 1.4% to 4%? ALL THE MONEY. So that's the joke. Dario says we need to slow down. And what, see productivity at 0%? So it's either Trumplandia where we invest all the money in an insane hail mary that will probably not work. Or Dario world where we managed the inevitable collapse with an AI powered global government. Pick your poison. Either way the Data Centers won't default.
