Vitalik Is Betting ~90% of His Net Worth That AI Won’t Break Crypto.
Vitalik Buterin says anyone holding crypto is implicitly betting that cybersecurity can survive the AI era — including himself, with roughly 90% of his net worth in crypto.
His thesis: AI won’t just find vulnerabilities. It could help mathematically prove that software satisfies defined security properties, making blockchain code fundamentally harder to exploit.
"There is no future for blockchains without doing this."
After the Fed raised rates to 3.75%–4.00%, Trump demanded an immediate reversal, arguing the U.S. deserves the world’s lowest borrowing costs because of its credit strength.
He also said America is "carrying" almost every country it runs a trade deficit with, claiming ending those relationships could bring in at least 1.5 trillion dollars a year.
The Fed just raised rates. Trump wants them slashed below 1%. The gap between the White House and the Fed is getting wider.
Fed Chair Kevin Warsh says a dedicated task force is studying how AI could reshape productivity, jobs and the economy, with findings expected by year-end.
Asked about warnings from Elon Musk, Sam Altman and Dario Amodei, Warsh drew a line: AI safety policy belongs to "other parts of the government." The Fed will focus on how AI affects its inflation and employment mandates.
Washington debates whether to slow AI. The Fed is preparing for what AI does to the economy.
Elizabeth Warren: "We Need Crypto Regulation — But NOT This Bill."
Ahead of the CLARITY Act vote, Senator Elizabeth Warren attacked provisions she says could weaken traditional stock-market protections, asking why Congress should change them because "a handful of crypto bros want it."
Warren argues Americans are more concerned about affordability and AI regulation than crypto, while still acknowledging that crypto itself needs regulation.
The fight is no longer about whether crypto should be regulated — it’s about who gets to write the rules.
Jensen Huang Just Picked a Side in the AI Slowdown War.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang pushed back against calls to slow AI development Monday, saying companies worried about safety can "pause" or "pace" voluntarily without stopping the broader industry. President Trump even called Huang onstage, dismissing AI takeover fears as a "hoax."
The clash comes after OpenAI, Anthropic and xAI leaders backed calls to slow frontier AI progress. Markets reacted hard: Nvidia fell 3.36% while the semiconductor index plunged 5.86%.
AI leaders want to hit the brakes. Nvidia wants the race to continue.
AI Has Split Washington — and Even Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon Are Joining Forces.
Washington is dividing over whether AI development should slow down or keep accelerating. Obama is urging Democrats to prioritize AI safety, while Sanders and MAGA strategist Steve Bannon are appearing at the same "Pro-Human" AI gathering in Washington today.
Trump is taking the opposite side, dismissing fears that AI could destroy humanity as a "HOAX."
Left vs. right is becoming secondary. The new divide may be humans vs. acceleration.
Trump Is Doubling Down on the 5,000 Dollar "Trump Dividend."
Trump again promised 5,000 dollars to every U.S. adult citizen if Republicans retain both chambers of Congress, arguing that trillions in tariffs, investment and economic growth make the payout affordable.
But there’s a catch: House Speaker Mike Johnson says the payments would still require congressional approval, and estimates put the total cost above 1 trillion dollars.
Trump says the money is there. Congress still has to unlock it.
Leopold Aschenbrenner’s Situational Awareness has reportedly returned to the options market, buying positions in AMD, Bloom Energy, CoreWeave, SK Hynix, SanDisk and the Roundhill Memory ETF.
The comeback follows a brutal July when its assets plunged from over 45 billion dollars to roughly 10 billion dollars, forcing a fire sale of much of its public-equity portfolio.
The thesis hasn’t changed: compute, power, infrastructure and memory — the bottlenecks of the AI boom.
