The real reason I started HiveBits. 👇

Startup competition szn is back. Online workshops with industry experts + a 2-week IRL camp in Belgrade, all as prep for the global @colosseum startup competition with $2.5M+ in prizes. Full schedule 👇

Every startup has a story. Ours started here. 📍 Our first public appearance was at @ethbelgrade in 2024. Back then, we had no product. Just a love for beekeeping and a crazy idea that real beehives could become DePIN nodes and benefit both investors and the bee population. The following year, we came back with an MVP and a digital beehive. We turned our vision into reality. We are grateful to @tanjaweb3, @0xdevelopera, and the entire ETH Belgrade team for believing in our project and giving us the chance to share it with others. 💛

@elonmusk .@elonmusk This is awesome! Grok Imagine in voice mode is ridiculously easy and fun. Kid Safe Mode with PIN is a smart move. 👍

Grok Imagine makes it easy and fast to create fun videos! Young kids especially love doing image & video generation using voice mode (press the speak button). And you can turn on kid safe mode in settings:

@elonmusk Insurance companies are also fine insuring cigarettes, alcohol, and motorcycles. But go off.

If you want to know what’s really safe or what’s not, just try buying insurance for it

@CoinDesk The government seized it from criminals and decided to keep it. Honestly that's just diamond hands.

LATEST: Arizona's Bitcoin reserve bills heading for a final vote, which would allow the state to hold seized $BTC and $XRP rather than auction them off, and invest up to 10% of public funds in digital assets.

@elonmusk 'Probably' and 'end of week' doing a lot of heavy lifting in this sentence.

FSD 14.3 is in Tesla employee beta now and will probably go to wide release end of week

@paulg Wild that the CAPTCHA of 2026 is just bad prose.

Sadly, one way I now recognize fake AI-generated replies is that AIs write punchier sentences than most ordinary humans.

@CoinDesk @keyrock @Ripple $1.1B valuation + Ripple backing = liquidity infrastructure that won't be ignored. Smart money moves quietly before the market catches up.

JUST IN: Digital asset market maker @Keyrock hits a $1.1B valuation in a Series C led by Standard Chartered's venture arm SC Ventures, with @Ripple among the backers.

@XFreeze Tool calling separates the real agents from the demos. Benchmark numbers don't lie; whoever nails reliable, low-latency tool use wins the agentic era.

Grok 4.20 Beta ranks #2 with 97% accuracy score on the 𝜏²-Bench for Telecom (Agentic Tool Use) It outperforms Claude Opus 4.6(max), GPT-5.4(xhigh), and Gemini 3.1 Pro, while closing in on GLM-5 scoring the top in agentic work flow Tool calling is the whole game for AI agents, and this is where Grok 4.20 takes over with state-of-the-art intelligence that fires up instantly, making it the fastest at tokens per sec in the industry

@paulg Chaos as a strategy requires meta-awareness you don't have if you're the chaos. A toddler is maximally unpredictable and maximally readable.

Sadly, he doesn't even have this advantage, as anyone who's had small children knows. When someone is sufficiently unsophisticated, it's possible to know what they're doing even when they don't know themselves.

@elonmusk FSD doesn't need marketing. It just needs people to actually use it.

my brother in law @CasperOnChain beat cancer last year after going through absolute hell. last week, we got the news, a new tumor (7x7) has formed next to his heart, pressing on it, and his lymphoma is back, and it’s spreading fast. We need to act immediately. The last treatment cost his family around $25,000, and it drained them completely, so this time, it’s even harder to go through it again financially. I’m asking for your help. He’s not just my in-law, he’s my best friend, and I can’t stand by and do nothing. Any amount matters, even $1 can make a difference and help him get the treatment he needs.

@RWAwatchlist_ Regulation is the bridge to mass adoption. By making stablecoins 'core money,' the UK is essentially greenlighting institutional liquidity to flow into RWA on a massive scale. This isn't just news; it's the foundation for the next bull run.

JUST IN: UK moves to regulate sterling systemic stablecoins 🇬🇧 Framework for stablecoins to become core money in the financial system.

@elonmusk Doubling service centers in Japan is a huge move for customer trust. Japan’s auto market is notoriously hard to crack for foreign OEMs. Is the Supercharger expansion also opening up to non-Tesla EVs in Japan soon?

Tesla is making a big investment in Japan with service & Superchargers. Many of the parts in Teslas are made in Japan. Panasonic has been our biggest strategic supplier over the past 2 decades.

Happy World Apitherapy Day! 🐝 At HiveBits, our passion for bees goes far beyond the chain. For four years, our apitherapy center Sviloš has been the heart of everything we do and the foundation for the R&D behind HaaN (Hive as a Node). Our mission has always remained the same: to help both people and bees thrive. Even before going on-chain, we had already: • delivered more than 1,000 individual apitherapy sessions • served over 4,000 real-world customers with premium bee products • generated $175k+ in revenue through sustainable practices Today, we are bringing that experience on-chain by digitalizing hive health with IoT sensors and turning physical hives into DePIN nodes. This helps improve bee health, increase their productivity, and better the quality of bee products and apitherapy services while protecting biodiversity. Nature provides the medicine. We provide the infrastructure. 🌿🐝

Huge thanks to everyone who joined us yesterday at @startit for the @solana NS meetup, organized by @SuperteamBLKN. Beyond the networking, we discussed concrete opportunities now available to everyone: ✅ Grants – How to get financial support for your startup. ✅ Web3 Careers – Where and how to find paid opportunities and jobs in the ecosystem. ✅ Community – How to join the Solana network, which already counts 1,500+ members in the Balkans. We’ve gathered all the resources, application links, active bounties, and guides in one place: stblkn.notion.site

🐝Bee Fact Friday #8 If bees disappeared, our food system would collapse. The majority of global crops depend on pollinators, meaning that without them, most of what we eat would vanish. But here’s what most people don’t realize: Bees don’t just increase quantity, they also improve the quality, size, taste, and nutritional value of crops, making them essential for our health. Save the bees, and you'll live with ease. 🍀

We’re not going to stop using AI, but we can balance its impact. 🌏 Every time we use AI, we contribute to the global carbon footprint. Bees do the opposite. They pollinate crops, trees, and wildflowers that absorb CO₂ through photosynthesis. That’s why HiveBits exists. We’re rebuilding biodiversity and proving that technology and nature can work together. 🤝 With our digital beehives, we’re able to maintain hive health and maximize bee activity and honey production. You can invest, earn from bee products, and directly support bee conservation, one hive at a time. Want to be a part of positive change but don’t own a beekeeping suit? 👇
