@SettleMintCom In theory, could a company utilize the resources and platform of #SettleMint to tokenize their stock for distribution on a decentralized blockchain? #BBBYQ #GME #RADCQ #IEP #TOYRF

This sentence by Dostoyevsky hits so hard. “You sensed that you should be following a different path, a more ambitious one, you felt that you were destined for other things but you had no idea how to achieve them and in your misery you began to hate everything around you.”

I told you I pivoted to AI. It's going extremely well. I raised $4 million. The pitch deck had 22 slides. The word "AI" appeared on every single one. Fourteen slides had the word "AI" in the title. Three slides were just the letters "AI" in large font over a stock photo of a brain with circuits on it. One slide said "THE FUTURE IS NOW." That was the financial projections slide. There were no financial projections. There was the brain. My startup is called Synthetica. We are an "AI-native intelligence platform." That means we built a website that calls the ChatGPT API and displays the response in our own font. The font is called Satoshi. I chose it because it sounded like crypto and technology at the same time. Two birds. Neither of them real. We have a whitepaper. It's the same whitepaper from my crypto startup with "blockchain" replaced by "neural network." Find and replace. That's our IP. Our product costs $29 a month. ChatGPT costs $20 a month. The difference is our logo and a loading screen that says "Thinking deeply..." while it waits for the API to respond. It's the same API. The customer is paying $9 a month for the loading screen. I call that the moat. My technical co-founder built the entire product in a weekend. We spent the next eleven months "iterating on the brand." That means we changed the color of the loading screen four times. He quit in month seven. I replaced him with a contractor in the Philippines who charges $15 an hour. I told investors we have "a globally distributed engineering team." That's two people. One of them is me. I don't code. We raised the $4 million in February. The lead investor asked what our moat was. I said "proprietary AI infrastructure." He asked what that meant. I said "we've built a custom orchestration layer on top of foundation models." He asked if that was an API key. I said "it's significantly more sophisticated than that." It's an API key. He invested $2 million. His fund has "AI" in its name. It was a crypto fund until 2023. They changed the name. They changed the website. They did not change the partners or the strategy. The strategy is to invest in things they don't understand and exit before anyone notices. I respect that. It's the same strategy as mine. The partners all have the same LinkedIn arc. Crypto evangelist from 2020 to 2022. "Building in stealth" from 2022 to 2023. AI visionary since January 2024. The conviction was always there. The noun changed. OpenAI just raised at a $730 billion valuation. That's more than the GDP of Switzerland. Anthropic is at $380 billion. In January and February alone, $220 billion went into AI companies. 83% of all venture capital in February went to three companies. Three. The other 17% went to four thousand startups like mine. API wrappers with pitch decks. Loading screens with brand identities. $29-a-month products built on $20-a-month products. A company with fewer than 100 employees is now worth $12 billion. I don't know what they do. Neither does the company. But they have a whitepaper. And the whitepaper has a diagram. And the diagram has arrows. Arrows mean progress. We're early. I launched a token. SYN. The Synthetica utility token. It powers the "decentralized AI marketplace" we haven't built yet. Someone asked what the token does. I said it "facilitates value exchange within the Synthetica ecosystem." He asked what that meant in plain English. I said "you can buy it and it might go up." He bought $12,000 worth. The total market cap of SYN is $340,000. I own 40% of the supply. My Discord owns another 30%. My Discord has 1,200 members. Eight hundred of them are bots I bought on Fiverr. We have a Telegram too. The Telegram has a price bot. The price bot posts the SYN price every hour. The price has not changed in three weeks. Nobody has traded it. The bot keeps posting. That's community engagement. I used the same Discord. I just changed the banner. The crypto community became the AI community overnight. Nobody noticed. The conversations are identical. Just replace "to the moon" with "to AGI." I also run a Polymarket bot. An AI-powered prediction market trading agent. It bets on real-world events using an algorithm I don't understand, funded by money I don't have, on a platform a U.S. Senator is trying to ban. Fourteen of Polymarket's top twenty traders are bots. Bots made $40 million last year exploiting pricing gaps. One bot made $115,000 in a single week. Mine lost $4,200 in eleven days. But I made a course about it. "AI-Powered Prediction Markets: The $115K Playbook." It costs $497. The playbook is a PDF. The PDF has screenshots of someone else's bot. I added my logo. Thirty-one people bought it. I made more from the course than the bot made from the market. That's the real alpha. The CFTC put out a warning that said "fraudsters are exploiting public interest in artificial intelligence to tout automated trading algorithms" that "promise unreasonably high or guaranteed returns." I screenshotted that too. I posted it in my Discord. I said "they're trying to shut us out." That got forty-seven rocket emojis. The bots sent thirty of them. A veteran VC said this week that AI valuations are "overheated." He said "buy high, sell higher only works in a bubble." I screenshotted that quote. I posted it in my Discord. I said "this is what they said about the internet." They also said it about the metaverse. They were right about the metaverse. I was there. I owned eleven properties. They're worth $6,400 now. Combined. My Bored Ape went from $189,000 to $14,000. The Gucci store is still empty. My beachfront villa is a mobile app. I learned a lot from that experience. I learned that if something goes to zero, you should pivot to the next thing and do it again faster. The metaverse taught me timing. Crypto taught me language. AI taught me that the language doesn't have to mean anything as long as the timing is right. We're early. I hosted a demo day. Fourteen investors came. I showed them the product. I typed a question into Synthetica. The loading screen said "Thinking deeply..." for eight seconds. Then it gave the same answer ChatGPT gives. One investor asked "is this just ChatGPT?" I said "we leverage GPT-4 as one component of our multi-model reasoning stack." He asked what the other components were. I said "proprietary." He asked to see them. I said they were "in stealth." Stealth means they don't exist. He invested $400,000. My mom called. She asked how the AI company was going. I said "we just closed a $4 million round." She said "is this like the metaverse thing?" I said "this is completely different." She said "you said that about the NFTs." I said "the NFTs were digital art. This is artificial intelligence." She said "is the monkey still your profile picture?" I changed the subject. She asked if I was eating enough. I am not eating enough. I spent my grocery budget on GPU credits. I don't know what a GPU does. But you need them for AI. Everyone says you need them. I have $7,000 in GPU credits on a platform I've logged into twice. That's infrastructure. My accountant called. The same one. He asked about the startup. I said "we're pre-revenue." He said "you've been pre-revenue at every company you've ever started." I said "this time we have product-market fit." He asked what our product was. I said "an AI-native intelligence platform." He asked what it did. I said "it thinks deeply." He said "so it's a loading screen." I hung up. He's not a visionary. We're early. I know we're early because I've been early my entire life. I was early to the metaverse. I was early to NFTs. I was early to the DAO. I was early to the token. Every single time, I was early. I have never once been on time. But that's the thing about being early. You don't have to be right. You just have to be first. And then when it collapses, you say you were "too early." And when the next thing comes, you say "this time is different." This time is different. The AI bubble is not a bubble. It's a paradigm shift. A fundamental restructuring of how value is created and captured in the digital economy. I read that in a pitch deck. It might have been mine. They all look the same. I have a folder on my desktop called "Pitch Decks." There are forty-seven files in it. I opened one from 2021. It said "THE METAVERSE IS A PARADIGM SHIFT." I opened one from 2024. It said "AI IS A PARADIGM SHIFT." Same font. Same brain. Same slide. I didn't delete the metaverse one. I might need it again. We're early. As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 SEC approves Nasdaq rule to allow tokenized stocks & securities trading.

dude computers are actually so fucking insane when you really think about it. we literally figured out how to write some fake-ass rules called code and somehow convinced rocks to follow them. like actual rocks. sand, melted, purified, carved into tiny pathways where electricity just flows in patterns. that’s it. that’s the whole magic. and yet from that we get operating systems, compilers, kernels, networks, distributed systems, machine learning models, entire virtual worlds running inside other virtual worlds. billions of tiny electrical decisions per second, all because we defined some abstract logic. humans basically invented a language of instructions and taught matter itself to execute it.

Man!!! Idk how this beat the algorithm, but it did and I’m here for it. Fuck yeah.

why is there basically 0 coverage of the 7 hour testimony yesterday given by Epstein's accountant?

Bank Executive Accountability and Consequences legislation introduced in the House falls short of the perpwalk American Households need! There is still no adult in the room to prevent what happened in 2008 (that set off a "Decade of Armageddon" and the Great Recession) and 2023 (three of the largest US bank failures ever). "H.R.7886 - To provide Federal financial regulators with clawback authority over executive compensation and additional industry prohibition and civil money penalty authority with respect to executives whose negligence caused financial loss to the applicable financial institution."

We’ve sunk so fucking low that getting our elections even remotely secure now means groveling and begging a bunch of corrupt, self serving pieces of shit in the Senate to do the absolute bare minimum. Like passing basic voter ID that a massive majority of Americans want. That pathetic reality alone should make your blood boil and prove just how rotten and bought off the whole goddamn system is. These assholes would rather protect their rigged game than protect the country and we’re the idiots still pretending they give a single fuck about the Republic or We the people.

Yo @IanCarrollShow .. I wanna make sure you get a chance to see this one. I’ve never seen a truth seeker organize and layout the breadcrumbs quite like you. That Webb app is genius too (and I’m a big fan of the name) Thanks for all you’ve been doing out there 🫡🕸 youtu.be/eW9xH3feKEo?si…

So like .. we’re allowed to talk about all this on socials now? #RawThoughtsVII OUT NOW 👁️🕸 Full Video : youtu.be/eW9xH3feKEo?si…

Show called “Disjointed” was cancelled soon after this scene was broadcast.

The people who work hardest usually complain the least.

Look guys it's the aliens

🚨 Les Wexner just CONFIRMED that Epstein worked for the ROTHSCHILD FAMILY—the architects of the Federal Reserve—as well as Jeff Bezos & Google. His lawyer then leaned in and said: "I will f*cking kiII you if you answer another question with more than 5 words." Umm WHAT?!? 😳😬

The Hollow Men American capitalism is rotting from the head down. We have replaced the "Owner-Operator"—the risk-taker-with a new, parasitic class of corporate bureaucrat: The Risk-Free Insider. By "Insider," I am not referring to a specific title. I am referring to the entire administrative state that has captured the modern corporation. This includes the Directors who exist solely to collect fees, the Executives who exist solely to collect bonuses, and the Managers who exist solely to hire consultants. These are the hollow men of the boardroom. They are masters of PowerPoint. They wear the right suits. They say the right buzzwords about "governance" and "ESG." But they are mercenaries fighting a war with someone else’s ammunition. In a functioning economy, authority is tied to liability. If you make a bad decision, you lose your own money. That fear of loss is the only thing that keeps a business honest. It forces you to cut waste, obsess over the customer, and stay late to fix what is broken. Today, we have severed that link. We have rigged the game so that heads, the Insider wins; tails, the shareholder loses. If the stock goes up, the Insider collects a massive performance bonus. If the stock crashes due to their own incompetence, they are fired with a "Golden Parachute" worth tens of millions. They are gambling with the house’s money, and they never leave the table poorer than they arrived. This looting starts in the boardroom. We have normalized a "Country Club" culture where directors are selected based on social profiling rather than their ability to build a business. The modern board member is often a professional tourist—paid an average of $350,000 a year. Let’s be brutally honest about what that number represents. The average director is paid nearly five times the GDP per capita of the United States. They earn more for attending four quarterly lunches than the vast majority of Americans earn in five years of hard labor. And for what? Most of these directors are "over-boarded," sitting on three or four boards simultaneously. They treat directorships as a gig economy for the elite. They fly in, rubber-stamp a compensation package they didn't read, and fly out. They collect checks from companies they do not understand, do not use, and certainly do not love. They are not there to ask hard questions. They are there to be collegial. They are there to protect the other Insiders. And what happens when these boards hire executives who also have no personal capital at risk? We get the Delegation Economy. When a Risk-Free Insider faces a crisis—bloated expenses, a broken supply chain, or a stale product—they do not roll up their sleeves. They hire a consultant. They pay a strategy firm millions of shareholder dollars to produce a 100-page deck telling them what they already know. This is not management. It is intellectual money laundering. They use shareholder capital to buy an insurance policy for their own careers. If the plan fails, they can blame the consultants. They delegate the work because they are terrified of the responsibility. They would rather preside over a slow, comfortable decline than risk a bold mistake. While American Insiders are busy optimizing their severance packages, our global competitors are optimizing their products. They are not slowed down by bureaucracy. They are not waiting for a slide deck. They are outworking us. If we continue to fill our C-suites with administrators instead of operators, we will lose our edge. We will see iconic American franchises hollowed out by fees, managed for the benefit of the Insiders, while the true owners—the shareholders—are left holding the bag. The time for polite governance is over. If we want to save the American economy from mediocrity, we must demand a return to the "Owner’s Mentality." We need leaders who treat shareholder capital with the same reverence they treat their own savings. The era of the Risk-Free Insider must end.
