If you live in Europe, from July 10, 2027, it will be illegal to pay more than 10,000 euros in cash. And with any purchase over 3,000 euros, you will need a passport before the payment is made.

This is a single EU law that will be adopted at once in all 27 EU countries. Local governments can only do one thing: tighten this limit, but not soften it in any way. And many have already done it:

1) France and Spain have limited business payments in cash to 1,000 euros.

2) Italy reduced the limit to 5,000 euros.

3) Greece has the strictest limit in the entire Eurozone: only 500 euros.

4) In Austria and Ireland today there are no cash limits at all. But they will be introduced from 2027.

The rules are arranged in such a way that these limits will only decrease over time, but will never increase. The official argumentation is the fight against crime.

Let me remind you that most of Europe uses CASH every day. In Germany, 63% of purchases are paid in cash, in Austria 54%, in Greece 75%.

And here is the coincidence: in the same year, when these restrictions come into force, the European Central Bank is launching annual testing of the digital euro.

In such a digital currency, there may be strict limits on how much you are allowed to keep on the account. Plus, as the experience of other countries shows, digital money can be programmed for any conditions: set an expiration date or limit the categories of goods on which it is allowed to be spent.

It seems that cash, the only form of money that leaves no traces and does not obey anyone, has a very short life left.

This is not a paid ad for me, but the fact is that I myself use it and I am very satisfied with this application. I recommend it to everyone, it is convenient, fast and simple.

Purely hypothetically, where would Jensen go to work after being fired from #NVDA?

By the way, in case you didn't know, NVIDIA doesn't actually manufacture physical chips at its own plants.

​The company operates on a fabless model: NVIDIA designs the architecture, processor layout, software, and platforms, while the actual physical production of semiconductors is outsourced to contract manufacturers—primarily Taiwan’s TSMC (along with Samsung).

​Current LLM models aren’t capable of this yet, but Fable 5.2 is the first model that can actually design physical devices. In a couple of years, there simply won't be any software companies left that AI can't replace.

Jensen Huang allegedly got caught in another office romance, this time with an employee, and rumors say he might step down or be removed. Preliminary polls suggest his potential successor could be either his daughter or the CEO of AMD, who is actually Jensen’s relative. 😁

​However, I honestly believe Jensen is one of the most influential CEOs in the world, and his role in the development of AI is simply colossal. I doubt this has anything to do with his personal life. Most likely, he just failed to reach an agreement with someone—perhaps even Trump—and it’s almost certainly over China.

​Jensen wants to keep selling his hardware to China, a market that accounts for roughly 10–15% of NVIDIA's revenue. Trump, Dario (Anthropic), and other figures in the American AI sector are strongly opposed to that.

​Right now, #NVDA pre-market stock price is sitting below its March lows. If the dip isn't bought up today, we're likely heading even lower. I’ve personally marked the $130–$140 zone to watch.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted that he had an affair with a CHINESE SPY. The board of directors of the company starts an investigation.

The company's shares are down. Even Bitcoin went down.

In April of this year, the US Treasury Secretary convened a meeting with America's largest banks. The topic is cyber security. Apparently, it was not for nothing that they gathered then... This autumn became unprecedented in terms of the scale of cyberattacks using AI.

AI leaders are in the red for the first time

By the way, Robinhood stock looks pretty good from a risk/reward perspective, especially if you believe in a 'Robinhood Season 2'. Just over a month ago, #HOOD was at $126, and now it's at $87."

The war in Iran and the energy crisis.

The CLARITY law has not been adopted.

The US Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time in 3 years.

The yield of US government bonds is at multi-year highs.

​Strategy sold 6,916 bitcoins.

Cold wallets COLDCARD and Ledger have been hacked.

Record hacking of the Binance exchange.

Many people don't even realize how much bad news Bitcoin has already digested.

I can only applaud how strong this orange nut turned out to be.

2.3 yards were withdrawn from Binance. Circle USDC and Tether USDT froze the stolen funds.

FRONTEND OF POLYMARKET VZLOMAN. Money was stolen from Polymarket accounts of many large traders. Be careful!!!

One billionaire invests in trade(xyz) to provide the US with 24/7 access to perpetual futures on the Hyperliquid platform. The second trillionaire makes a repost with the words "Interesting"

We already have the Internet, artificial intelligence, robots and automation. All these (and other) technologies that every year make human work more and more productive.

And at the same time, millions of people feel that they are forced to plow more and more simply in order to afford the same standard of living that their parents had at the same age.

At some point, you will have to stop and ask the question: where does all this abundance, generated by productivity growth, go? Where are the results of the fact that we work and create more than ever?

New money is being printed, asset prices are rising, the rich are getting even richer (hello to the first trillionaire), and you can buy less and less with your salary. And at the same time, they tell us how great the economy feels. How long will people put up with it? How much more are they ready to endure?

PS: it is clear that a huge part of the fruits of economic growth did not go to the employees, but to the owners of capital, which creates a decrease in the standard of living of millions of people.

Well, I really liked this story too. Last year, Trump banned the state digital dollar, they say, the people don't like it (in the same place CONTROL and DICTATION). Therefore, he takes and gives birth to PRIVATE projects of the digital dollar... Inside which this very CONTROL is programmed. And funny and sad

Tom Li said that BitMine still needs to buy 100k ETH to reach the 5% emission goal. After that, they make a stop, not a pause, namely a stop. He also boasted that they bought a lot of ETH at $1500, but we know that BitMine is in a loss. The average purchase price is $3,336 for 1 ETH. But after the announcement to stop purchases, the question arises, who will now buy our ethers? 😁

Yesterday I listened to a podcast with SEO Bitwise about #NEAR. The main conclusion - Grayscale and Bitwise sell NEAR not as "another L1 from the top-30", but as an infrastructure for AI agents - and the argument fits into one sentence.

Bitwise (CEO Hunter Horsley) formulates it as follows: the co-author of the article that introduced the transformer built a blockchain where people and AI agents use LLM models and move assets between networks - and the network is growing rapidly.

Grayscale uses an even more interesting wording for investors: Ilya Polosukhin, co-author of the 2017 Google article Attention Is All You Need "Attention is all you need", which revolutionized the field of artificial intelligence, presented the Transformer architecture to the world - the letter T in ChatGPT, created a blockchain for people and AI.

Further, the comparison is no longer with crypto projects, but with AI-platforms that have traction. With a capitalization of about $5–6 billion, NEAR, according to him, is about ten times cheaper than the average valuation of such platforms. Ego's wording: "probably the cheapest thing you've ever seen." That is, while we regard NEAR as a shield, traditional investors regard it as one of the cheapest AI platforms on the market, so in the documents of Bitwise and Grayscale we see such sky-high targets for NEAR as $100-$500.

"If the Republicans win the elections to the House of Representatives and the Senate in the midterm elections of 2026, I will give out 5,000 dollars to all adult citizens of the United States of America! Thank you for your attention to this question, and I look forward to the opportunity to sign these checks!" Generous drop, but not eligible.

I will say this, if it wasn't for the case with ZCASH, when it was heavily spilled by 50%-60% on news about a critical vulnerability and the possibility of printing any amount of #ZEC, and by that time it had already been corrected, But we see what values ​​ZEC is now, it flew from $250 to $1700+.

NEAR Intents lost about $3.8 million due to an error in how Omni's deposit and withdrawal infrastructure, HOT Bridge, interacted with the Intents contract. Users are fully covered.

The vulnerability on the contract side has already been fixed, and services are restored within an hour. Deposits and withdrawals remain low for about 12 more hours on BSC, Polygon, TON, Optimism, Avalanche, Stellar, Monad, LayerX, Adi, Scroll and Plasma. NEAR Intents pass through several bridges with different trust models, so other chains continue to work.

An error was discovered, the contract was fixed within hours, and users are getting a refund

The report has been handed over to law enforcement agencies, and they promise to provide a detailed report in the coming days.
