Nexus just became one of the biggest scams of 2026 2 years of farming. 3 testnets. Proofs, nodes, quests, paid badges, social tasks, collabs… the whole circus. People ran nodes 24/7, paid for CLI licenses, burned electricity, dragged in friends. The team raised $25M from Lightspeed, Pantera, Dragonfly and other top funds. American CEO, US office, “serious” team vibes. And the result?“No airdrop - it was for fun” Most people who farmed since 2024 got literal pennies - $2 to $10 in most cases. $NEX Classic playbook: ✅Hype “the future of verifiable computing” for years ✅Keep the real supply for themselves and investors ✅Throw crumbs to the community This wasn’t a “bad launch.” This was a systemic rug. How many more projects in 2026 will do the exact same thing? Stop believing projects that feed you testnets and promises for years. Better to farm perps, AI plays, prediction markets and real stuff than another “AI Layer 1” with $25M in the bank and $4 in the farmer’s pocket.

In the US, behind closed doors, they are studying the possibility of creating a digital dollar ( CBDC ), despite the administration’s promises not to do so - former CFTC chairman. If this is true, it’s a big negative for crypto.

@CryptoTony__ Gold doesn't freeze. Gold doesn't sanction you. China did the math

JUST IN: 🇨🇳 🇺🇸 CHINA IS DUMPING U.S. TREASURIES, WITH HOLDINGS FALLING TO THEIR LOWEST LEVEL SINCE THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS. $693B left. Down from $1.3T at the 2013 peak. While, the PBOC just stretched its gold-buying streak to 17 straight months.

@KillaXBT We need to go even lower

Well, on the HTF we have a massive cluster of $BTC liquidations sat at 74-76K Wouldn't be surprised if this get taken at some point soon.

Bitcoin is down 38% from its October peak. Sitting at $78,000 today. And nobody is saying it's dead. Think about that for a second. Every previous drop had the same script — headlines, panic threads, "this time it's really over." It was as reliable as the price itself. This time: silence. Not because people stopped paying attention. Because the people holding Bitcoin changed. BlackRock doesn't write doomsday threads. Fidelity doesn't panic-sell on a Tuesday. Pension funds don't care what crypto Twitter thinks. They rebalance. They wait. They buy the dip quietly through an ETF and don't tell anyone. Bitcoin didn't just go institutional. It went boring. And boring, for an asset that's been declared dead 400 times, might be the most bullish signal of all.

@Borg_Cryptos Is this surprising to anyone?

🚨 China disapproves of the U.S. proposal.

Amazon just laid off 30,000 corporate employees in three months. Not warehouse workers. Not drivers. The people writing docs, running ops, sitting in planning meetings — gone. Andy Jassy didn't dress it up. He said it plainly last year: AI will change how work gets done, and they'll need fewer people doing some of the jobs that exist today. Then he did exactly that. $100 billion going into AI infrastructure. 30,000 fewer salaries going out. The math isn't complicated. Every other executive watched this quarter. Most of them are running the same calculation right now.

Google and PayPal executives stood on stage at Consensus Miami and said it out loud. AI agents cannot open bank accounts. Not "it's complicated." Not "we're working on it." They literally cannot. Regulatory barriers. Technical friction. The entire traditional banking infrastructure was built for humans with IDs and signatures and the ability to sit across a table from a compliance officer. An agent doesn't have a face. So the question became: how does autonomous software hold money, send money, receive money - at scale, 24/7, without a human cosigning every transaction? The answer they gave: crypto. Not because of ideology. Not because of defi summer nostalgia. Because stablecoins settle in seconds, work on weekends, don't ask for a passport, and can be programmed to release on conditions. AWS already built it. AgentCore Payments. USDC on Base and Solana. An AI agent can now pay another AI agent for running a task - no bank, no wire, no waiting. The weird part is how long this took to say plainly. Crypto spent years looking for its killer app. The killer app was never human. It was always going to be the machine that needed money but couldn't walk into a branch.

4 months ago, Virgin Voyages had 50 AI agents running across the business. Today: 1,500. One agent writes brand emails. Another handles group bookings. One is literally a clone of the CEO - you can ask it anything. Content production time down 60%. Sales: record highs in January and February.

@cryptorover Retail gets the news. Someone else gets the trade

Billions Network (BILL USDT) is live on @Bybit_Official bybit.com/trade/usdt/BIL…

@provenauthority x.com/dimapiterson/s…

Thank you all for your kindness, support and enthusiasm for the launch of $BILL and continued alignment with our mission. Yesterday we allocated $BILL to over 23,000 of our community members with 3 different programs in Billions Rewards and opened a 4th for our global community including new regions where we are now able to operate. A few people still have not yet claimed their rewards which began distributing yesterday morning, so don’t forget to check! Season 1 Reward claims will remain open until May 18th to ensure sufficient time. The reward system is based on verifiable contribution metrics in accordance with legal and compliance requirements. With millions of these data points, we drew a hard line to protect the network from farming and bots. For those who have supported our team’s work over nearly ten years of development, and for those of you just joining us, we are proud to continue this journey alongside you into our next chapter. As we’ve always said at Billions Network, we do things differently because we’re tackling systemic challenges, not a short term endeavor. Our dedication over years at the keyboard and IRL has always optimized for intentional development. Today is no different, and while the introduction of $BILL is an exciting milestone, we remain steadfast in our dedication to our mission and scaling Billions Network. We are here on a mission to save the internet in the age of AI. In a world fraught with bots, AI Slop, deepfakes and new digital threat surfaces every day, Billions technology offers a new way forward to safeguard digital trust even where humans are in the minority. Pioneering concepts from client-side zk proofs to Know Your Agents (KYA), Billions Network is now home to the world’s most popular zk libraries and largest ecosystem of verified AI agents. I’m grateful for the everyday miracles of my resilient teammates and my brilliant cofounder @davidsrz. Fide et veritate. Back to work, Evin

Farmed @billions_ntwk from day one. Did every single task, got all the roles, stacked 13,000 points - and still got Not Eligible. Just like 90% of the real community who actually grinded. Classic airdrop scam. $Bill
