With Bitcoin trading at $81K and $MSTR's average price of $76K, @Saylor has earned just 6.5% over the past five years on the $54 billion he invested in Bitcoin. That’s about 1.3% per year. Bitcoin can’t even keep up with inflation. MSTR would have done better just buying T-bills.
By the end of the year, holders of U.S. dollar–denominated assets and cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, will be substantially poorer than they are today. In contrast, holders of non-dollar–denominated assets and precious metals will be significantly richer. Which will you be?
🦔 A group of AI industry insiders has launched "Poison Fountain," a project encouraging people to feed AI crawlers deliberately corrupted training data. The goal is to degrade AI model quality by exploiting what they call the technology's "Achilles' heel." The project was inspired by an Anthropic paper showing that only a few malicious documents are needed to damage model performance.
The anonymous participants reportedly include employees at major U.S. AI companies. They're distributing code with subtle logic errors and bugs designed to corrupt models that train on it. Their website states bluntly: "We agree with Geoffrey Hinton: machine intelligence is a threat to the human species. In response to this threat we want to inflict damage on machine intelligence systems."
My Take
This is a wild development, but it fits a pattern I keep seeing. The people most alarmed about AI are often the ones building it. Hinton left Google to warn about the technology. Sutskever left OpenAI. Suleyman at Microsoft is calling for military-level interventions. Now we have anonymous employees at AI companies actively trying to sabotage the training process.
The irony is that AI models might already be poisoning themselves. There's growing concern about "model collapse," where AI trains on AI-generated content in an error-magnifying loop. Every hallucination posted online becomes potential training data for the next model. Add deliberate poisoning on top of that, and the quality problems compound.
Whether you think this is sabotage or self-defense probably depends on how worried you are about where AI is heading. Either way, it's another sign that the people closest to this technology aren't as confident about it as the marketing suggests.

@0xBrickHouse I noticed it deviating off peg so pulled my positions too. Ur the only other one i've seen mention it. Glad someone else is paying attention 🫡
Not attempting to FUD. If anybody can show me that they do have liquidity to cover that would be great. I have been a big fan of this project and want them to do well... but I can't deny the fact that liquidity seems super low and right now the depeg risk seems high
Is USX Depeging? I'm seeing a small depeg right now on most sites... but after looking into the total amount of liquidity on chain it seems like there is only a few hundred thousand left. You can see here that a $500k move would only be filled about 70% filled. Or a 30% depeg in price.
And after looking into some of the usual venues I'm not seeing much stablecoin liquidity left for people who want to exit their positions. I've got some screenshots below of other dry pools.
Looks like Ethos has entered the chat on @solsticefi.
20% multiplier boost at 1600
50% multiplier boost at 2000
Just know it’s a boost on boosts, so if you’re farming something with a 5x boost, it turns into 6x (+20%) or 7.5x (+50%).
If you’re investing in DeFi without the right tools, you’re playing the game on hard mode.
DefiLlama has scores of dashboards to help research crypto, but you probably don’t know most of them.
Here are 7 underrated @DefiLlama dashboards to take your research to the next level:
Finally we have a president who has the courage and the moral clarity to stand up for America and the West. We finally have a commander-in-chief who is actually behaving like the Leader of the Free World.
8 days no vaping (longest in 5 years)
No idea why I smoked that Chinese cancerous poop stick for so long
The difference after just a few days off is insane
Vapes will 100% go down as one of the worst things to come out of the 21st century
“Stocks have crashed. Something is broken.”
“The US Dollar index has crashed. Something is broken.”
Stocks are back to where they were in May 2024. P/E ratios are mean reverting back towards historical norms.
The US Dollar index is back to where it was in September 2024.
Perhaps this is when we need to take a deep breath and question who actually wants us to believe these hysteria inducing headlines?
President Trump invited the press into his cabinet meeting, and each Secretary is providing an update on the work they are doing at their respective agencies.
This is truly the most transparent, competent, and collaborative Administration in history!
Today, the White House said President Trump believes Apple can produce iPhones entirely in the US.
How much would this cost?
According to Forbes, it would cost $30,000-$100,000 to solely manufacture an iPhone in the US.
We’ll lead Ohio to be the state that embraces freedom & meritocracy. Capitalism is the greatest system known to man to lift people up from poverty & we won’t apologize for it.
