I'm looking for a sick videographer/launch video specialist. who should I speak with?

@isaacedits_ this is sick! how did you make it?

Had a lot of fun creating this launch video🤩

absolute goated team

Meta went so hard on the metaverse that they are barely touching stablecoins - facebook.com/business/help/… They should seriously consider building their own stablecoin product as they already control the distribution through WhatsApp: > over 3.3 billion MAUs > 83% use WhatsApp daily > highest usage: India, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico > payments already supported through UPI in India and PIX in Brazil > cross-border payments remain untouched Meanwhile, Devin McGranahan, CEO of Western Union said: “The platform that poses the most potential risk to us is WhatsApp.” It will happen. The infrastructure is ready and the users are there. It’s hard to see a world where Meta ignores this long term.

@frankiedigiac and capitalizing on that gap you must!

Spent the week in São Paulo🇧🇷 talking to freight and export businesses. These conferences are always insightful because you realize some businesses have solutions that work. They’ve spent years building bank relationships, hedging FX, and setting up entities across different regions. Others haven’t. That gap is the opportunity.

@brunoswerneck @Plaid we spent some time building usemaxi.app, ai-native personal finance agent happy to share our experience integrating with Plaid

If you are building in AI x Personal Finance - comment or DM me. Working with @Plaid on an early-access program to make it easier for AI developers to get started with our APIs - looking for beta testers Bunch of more AI announcements coming out soon 👀

@brookwellapp @ereborbank Bullish

We're excited to announce our partnership with @Ereborbank! Banking services available through Brookwell are provided by Erebor Bank, NA, Member FDIC. We're grateful to work with a partner committed to building compliant, forward-looking financial infrastructure.

@frankiedigiac panic

@ravi_riley Is this the singularity?

it’s happening here’s why: x.com/ravi_riley/sta…

@nickvasiles Bullish

I connected my Meta RayBans to my OpenClaw so that I can manage my entire fleet of 20+ OpenClaw agents while out and about. It can see what I see, hear what I hear, and I can literally work an entire day while talking to my glasses out in the city in San Francisco. The future of work is here.

My fireside chat with the CEO of Western Union. > you crypto people think real time settlement is new > we've been doing real time settlement for 20 years > you can go to a WU and send money to your mom in guatemala and it lands in 3 seconds > but that only happens because I have liquidity pool of $1.5B > stablecoins are going to give me back that $1.5B > my stock trades at $2.7B > I'm going to take that $1.5B and use it to buy back a boat load of my stock > oh and also, we're going to use stablecoins to give all 100m+ customers a US dollar debit card aka mini bank account Stablecoins aren't going to kill Western Union... They're going to save it.

just hopped off a call with another founder. Did not know just how much providing proper healthcare is a logistics problem as much as it is a tech problem.

@ravi_riley spot on thesis

Under-collateralized credit is one of the last great unsolved primitives in crypto. Whoever solves it will print like Hyperliquid did. When BitMEX introduced leveraged perps in 2016, they unlocked a new category of capital efficiency that caused volume and participation to scale by orders of magnitude. Hyperliquid took perps to the next level with both retail and institutional volume. Spot volume is nothing compared to perps volume. Credit is the next evolution of that moment. The protocol that cracks the code will introduce another financial layer that hasn’t existed before: consumer lending, institutional credit facilities, BNPL, financial products that serve people who actually need them, all onchain. Capital that is currently locked up in over-collateralized lending pools gets freed up. New borrowers enter the market. The money multiplier enters the crypto economy. Institutions will show up. Not to trade, but to deploy capital into credit markets with real yield and borrowers they can trust. The primitive is currently unsolved. The opportunity is worth billions. Who is building this?

@bykahlil one of the best written digests on current state of agentic payments I've read so far

@Polymarket singularity approaching

BREAKING: Anthropic data leak reveals the existence of “Claude Mythos,” a new AI model that reportedly presents unprecedented cybersecurity risks.

@frankiedigiac 100% the truth

A few clients had asked if PIX expanding across Mercosur is competing with the stablecoin cross-border model. Not at all. Countries like Argentina already have real-time systems like Transferencias 3.0. The opportunity is connecting these rails, not replacing them. PIX expansion pushes the region toward faster cross-border settlement and makes stablecoin integration easier. Stablecoins bridge PIX, Transferencias 3.0, ACH, SEPA, SPEI. That’s the cross-border stack.

Two stacks. One future: agentic payments on the internet.

@sytaylor @perplexity_ai @Plaid literally been building this. This is the future of personal finance

Perplexity just gave every retail investor a Bloomberg Terminal. For free. Watch this demo. It's wild. @perplexity_ai connects to brokerage accounts via @Plaid and builds a custom investment dashboard in seconds. Perplexity Computer pulls from 40+ live finance tools like: - SEC filings - FactSet - S&P Global - Coinbase - LSEG. 75% of Perplexity's paying users were already asking finance questions monthly. The demand existed before the product did. But you couldn't DO anything with that information. --- Now you can connect it to your data for better insights. Connect your brokerage accounts through Plaid, and suddenly an AI agent can see your actual holdings across multiple institutions — then query institutional-grade data against them. "Show me my sector concentration risk" or "How exposed am I to rising rates" — answered in seconds with your real portfolio, not hypotheticals. --- It still can't trade for you, though. That's a deliberate regulatory design choice that lets Perplexity move fast while every neobank and robo-advisor is still waiting for compliance sign-off. Fintech companies spent a decade building Plaid as pipes for fintech apps to read your bank data. But I'm much more interested in when we give them to AI

@iamlukethedev share that repo ;)

Scrum meeting added to the OpenClaw office. Agents walk into the meeting room and report their progress in real time. Task management on another level. Standup meetings with your AI engineers. 🔊 Sound on

potentially huge
