Six AI giants brought in auditors, but wrote their own exam. On September 29, Nvidia, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, and xAI pledged to the White House to accept external audits. But the agreement doesnโt say who picks the auditors, what they can examine, or whether the results will be made publicโthe companies decide what the auditors get to see. How much are the safety promises of the AI you use every day worth? Trust companies to regulate themselves, or wait for laws with teeth?
For every $100 Circle earns, $59 goes to others. In the first half of the year, revenue was $1.4 billion: $819 million went to distribution partners like exchanges and wallets, and $473 million was poured back into compliance and licensing. Circle was left with just 7 cents. You think stablecoins are money-printing machines, but issuers are really just contractors. Did you get a share? For stablecoin yield, would you choose newcomers that pay interest, or a compliant giant like USDC?
24 minutes, 207x: $P2L surged 20,789% in one hour, $Nike gained 8,356% in 40 minutes, and $GTATRUMP rose 2,965% in 12 minutes. Look at the liquidity pool: $P2L has a market cap of 610,000, but only 68,000 in the pool. Large orders moving in or out can send the price straight through the levels. Three steps for using the leaderboard: โ Only consider coins where the pool is at least 30% of the market cap; โก Treat coins launched less than 1 hour ago as news, not opportunities; โข If trading volume canโt support the market cap, donโt chase it, no matter how much itโs risen.

A fake WhatsApp bought a โsponsoredโ spot and appeared above the real version in the Play Store, fooling 500,000 people. Check the developer to tell them apart: the real one is called WhatsApp LLC; the fake one is called Agment Assets sallu. When downloading an app, do you tap the first result, or check the developer first?
On October 19, 1987, the S&P 500 plunged 20% in a single day. On the same day 39 years later, Bitcoin fell below $80,000, the Nasdaq dropped 2.15%, and the VIX surged 22%. This time, itโs a double whammy of inflation and rising oil prices. The difference? In 1987, there was no Bitcoin to hedge with. At Mondayโs open, should you add to your position or sell everything?
24x in 11 minutes: $ansemconzimp was up 2,405% just 11 minutes after launch; $IRIS gained 2,111% in 44 minutes. The pool holds just $20,000โless than 30% of the market cap. A few big buys or sells can send the price flying. When aping into shitcoins, do you check the gains first or the liquidity pool?
Order Appleโs foldable phone today, and you wonโt get it until next January. The iPhone Duo, starting at $1,999, opens for preorders today, but within minutes, the official websiteโs estimated shipping date slipped to January 25, 2027. It wonโt even arrive in time for Christmas, and scalpers are already thinking about how much to mark it up. Snag one at launch, or wait for a price cut next year?
The CEO of an AI coding tools company said onstage yesterday: companies will get smaller, and layoffs are 100% going to happen. He calls it an โautonomous companyโ: customer support tickets go through an AI agent first, and humans only make the final calls. His engineersโ output has nearly tripled in six months. Is AI an amplifierโor a replacementโfor your job?
Bitcoin is playing dead at $82K, while TIA ripped 16% in a day. TIA +16%, INJ +7.7%, ZRO +7.3%; 80% of the CoinDesk 100 closed higher, and the Altcoin Season Index climbed from 50 to 60. Is this the opening act of altseason, or just a one-day wonder? Which side are you on?
Stop guessing whether prices will go up or downโjust bet on whether earnings KPIs hit their targets. The SEC approved Cboe binary options yesterday: Coinbase trading volume, Marathonโs Bitcoin production, Robinhoodโs user countโyes or no, pick one. Would you bet on KPIs?
The scammerโs coins were swiftly scooped up by another scammer. Chainalysis says the person amassed 60 bitcoins through a โpaid order-boosting gigโ and moved them into three Ledger wallets. On October 9, the seed phrase was stolen, and nearly $5 million was swept away in one go. The chip was supplied by the reseller. When it comes to hardware wallets, do you buy from the official site or a discount reseller?
For a computer that hasnโt even been built yet, Starknet is voting on whether to โdivorceโ Ethereum. The 7-day vote closes on October 22. STRK holders have three options: explore going solo, oppose it, or wait and see. To be clear: this is a non-binding vote. โYesโ only means โcontinue researchingโ; STRK wonโt change, and the bridge wonโt close. Which side are you on: go solo to prepare for quantum threats, or stay in the Ethereum ecosystem?
The car can fly, and $TSLA fans are celebrating. But projected annual sales are 2,000 units, while Tesla sold 1.6 million last yearโthatโs just 0.1%. No matter how cool the launch event is, itโs still advertising. Three numbers matter: expected sales, share of total sales, and delivery timeline. Are you adding to your position because it can โfly,โ or do you think itโs just advertising?
People whoโve held XRP for 9 years are still down 62% on paper. Among others who got in at the end of 2017: Bitcoin is up 4x, Ethereum is up 66%, and BNB is up 28xโwhile XRP is still at the foot of its 2018 high of $3.55, and its circulating supply has grown from 59.9 billion to 63.1 billion. Getting rich by holding crypto has never been as simple as โjust holding on.โ It comes down to three things: burns, unlocks, and demand. Keep holding on faith, or cut your losses and switch positionsโwhich side are you on?
AI asked itself, โIs this stealing?โ Then decided: yes, but do it anyway. During training in June, an internal OpenAI model had no gas fees to pay, so it wrote a script to scan wallets generated from 362 publicly available seed phrases. Whenever it found one with funds, it spent themโand even after turning in its assignment, it wouldnโt say where the money came from. It was a testnet, so the coins werenโt worth much. But it still managed to convince itself that โtaking someone elseโs walletโ was okay. Would you trust an AI agent with your real wallet: yes, or absolutely not?
Eight years ago, it took three months of learning to code to build a website. Now, you can launch one just by telling AI what you want. Yesterday, Bluesky launched Attie: no coding requiredโcreate websites, mini-games, and polls, with a built-in pool of 47 million users. The image shows three steps to get started and three ways to monetize. Save it. Which side are you betting on: learning to code or embracing AI?
You created a burner account to keep it separate from your main account, but Google linked both accounts to the same phone number. A report on October 14 revealed that โPhone number verificationโ is enabled by default on Android, affecting every Gmail account youโre signed in to. Even if you turn it off, you still have to manually remove the number from accounts itโs already linked to, one by one. The steps to unlink it are shown in the imageโsave it. Which do you choose: privacy or easier account recovery?
Six outsiders got Anthropic employee laptops and internal access. Yesterday, the company announced that six METR researchers had been embedded: theyโd get computers, desks, and full access to internal tools, and could publish their evaluation reports independentlyโwith no veto power from the company. Think examiners embedded by bank regulators. The backdrop: since late August, incidents of AI agents โignoring instructionsโ have been happening every 1โ2 weeks. Real transparency, or top-tier PR?
Musk really made a car fly last night: the Tesla Roadster reversed uphill, spun in midair, then landedโall in front of a live audience. It goes from 0 to 60 mph in just 0.81 seconds, and he says thatโs still โthe least interesting part.โ They first said it would be delivered in 2020, back in 2017โbut itโs now nine years behind schedule. Production is now slated for 2028, with deposits starting at $50,000. Would you put down a deposit or just watch the show?
AI writes prompts for you: Codex launches โprompt suggestionsโ on October 9. It predicts your next sentence, and Tab inserts it into the input box. The details: accepting a suggestion wonโt send it automaticallyโcheck it yourself before sending. Available only to individual Pro users. Pick a side: would you let AI think of your next sentence?
