MUST READ: Understanding Crypto Exchanges There is a massive problem in our industry due to lack of education. Most people dont even care, but they should. The root of all the issues in crypto come from this dilemma. Centralized Crypto Exchanges (CEXs) are not Crypto. They are standalone web2 legacy platforms with their own databases running on their own servers. They are closed loop systems. What does closed loop system mean? A closed loop system is technically independent entirely from other systems. web2 platforms like Facebook, Amazon, Google, etc. are closed loop systems. Self contained with no sharing of data and presenting "fake" products in an imaginary world. So are the Centralized Crypto Exchange platforms. So are the banking systems. They are all closed loops. They are completely centrally controlled and are showing you a "fake" product, not a real product. Your profile on X is not you. It is a derivative of you. The product you see on a website is not real. It is only real when it is delivered to your house or picked up in the store. These are closed loop systems. Imaginary worlds online, and real worlds with real things.Your bank balance on your phone is not real money, it is a nukber on your phone. Only when you ask for the money in cash or a withdrawal is it technically yours. Until then its in a closed loop, the online banking platform. Now understand blockchain networks are also closed loop systems. They live in their own independant set of network servers (validators) with no technical connection to the outside world. All transfers from blockchains must be manually initiated to communicate with other closed loop systems like other blockchains etc. but they are decentralized by design. This is web3, the next evolution of the internet. Crypto is a ledger system on a single database controlled by computers, math and cryptography. Not by humans. The only time humans get involved is when private keys are needed to confirm a transaction. Thats where you the human comes in as you are the only person that knows your private key (the 12-24 pass phrases you get when you make a blockchain wallet). The point is CEXs and blockchains are totally separate closed loop systems. CEXs are not blockchains, and are not crypto in any way other than via "representing themselves" as crypto. Which exchanges are CEXs? #Binance, #Coinbase, #Bybit, #Okx, #Mexc, #Kraken etc. This means when you make an account on these platforms you are not dealing with crypto. You are dealing with a "synthetic" crypto derivative. A "made up" product like your bank balance, just letters and numbers on a screen. Same as when you see a product on Amazon marketplace, thats not a real "sock" or a real "battery", you only get the real product when its delivered to your house. Those are 2 closed loop systems. Amazon website and Amazon warehouses. The delivery is initiated, and the transaction only settled when the product shows up at your door. Crypto Exchanges are the same. You have no crypto until you have it sent to your blockchain wallet and verify it in your wallet. ONLY when you request to "WITHDRAW" the crypto you have bought with your bank money, does this trigger the event where the CEX has to initiate a transaction on the other side of the closed loop, in the closed loop system of blockchain, to transfer actual crypto from their blockchain wallet to your blockchain wallet. If you never withdraw, you NEVER OWN CRYPTO. You own NOTHING but a promise of crypto. Like when Amazon doesnt deliver your "socks you "bought" on Amazon. Now understand these CEXs are meant to keep 1:1 backing of actual blockchain crypto in their blockchain wallets, to back the "fake crypto" they have sold and are being traded on their platforms by users that have actually paid bank money for them. Like Amazon has to back the "socks" with real "socks" in a warehouse ready to deliver to you. Some CEX's publish only MONTHLY audits of Proof Of Reserves. Some weekly, Some NEVER. Can you see how this introduces several core issues. For instance: - What if the crypto exchange doesnt have 1:1 backing in their blockchain wallets and are lying? Meaning what if you are buying and trading fake crypto with no real crypto backing it? - What if the crypto exchange invents magic extra crypto o their platform, then sells it changing the price of crypto without using real crypto? (called rehypothecation) The whole point of crypto is to have a fixed supply for Bitcoin and a set of transparent single ledgers so everyone can publically verify the supply and every transaction. So as you see Crypto Exchanges are not crypto. You need to understand this clearly and manage your risk accordingly. ALWAYS store your valuable crypto holdings in SELF CUSTODY. This means WITHDRAW it from the exchanges to your blockchain wallet. You cannot trust the government, or the crypto exchanges to honor the 1:1 backing. You can 100% trust the blockchain and blockchain wallets, and yourself. Hope this helps. Practice crypto hygiene. Learn. Avoid centralized exchanges, bridges and Layer 2 "fake blockchains" called "sequencers" which I will do a slide on next.

I think fitness hotels will be a massive thing in the next few years Every luxury hotel I go asks me "would you like champagne or wine?" during check in Then you enter the room and there's a bottle of champagne waiting Then you go to the restaurant and they give you the 100-page wine list Then you go to the gym and it's 4 treadmills and and no barbell or plates in sight I understand this is because boomers are generally alcoholics, don't work out except walking and they control most of the money; see how Bill Gates looks these days But when they die that will be the largest generational transfer of wealth in history The generations after them are more health focused, don't drink alcohol, want to eat clean and work out properly One hotel I visited last year that fit the bill completely was Siro Fitness Hotel in Dubai (not affiliated, I just like it) They had the best gym I've seen (along with Stay in Phuket which similarly is a fitness hotel, they had a protein shake bar, and the food was all clean meat and vegetables and health-focused Health and fitness is more present in higher income categories so it's perfect for the luxury hotel market I don't see many hotels market to this though, I think there's a lagging demand as they still think the boomers control most of the money, which they do, for now...

🚨 ROBOTS CAN NOW HELP WITH SURGERY — AND THEY’RE ACTUALLY GOOD AT IT Medtronic tested its Hugo robot in 137 real surgeries — fixing prostates, kidneys, and bladders — and the results were better than doctors expected. Complication rates were super low: just 3.7% for prostate surgeries, 1.9% for kidney surgeries, and 17.9% for bladder surgeries, all beating safety goals from years of research. The robot got a 98.5% success rate, way above the 85% goal — meaning it didn’t just pass the test, it basically set the curve. Out of 137 surgeries, only 2 needed to switch back to regular surgery — 1 because of a robot glitch, and 1 because of a tricky patient case. This doesn’t mean robots are replacing surgeons tomorrow, but it does mean your next doctor might have a very expensive metal sidekick. Source: RTTNews

TINY DISSOLVABLE PACEMAKER COULD SAVE NEWBORNS AND ADULTS A new dissolvable pacemaker, smaller than a grain of rice and powered by light, offers hope for newborns and adults with heart defects. It can be implanted using a syringe, avoiding invasive surgery. About 1% of infants are born with heart issues, often needing a temporary implant for seven days to let the heart heal naturally. In low-resource areas, this can be fatal due to limited medical access. For adults, traditional pacemakers involve sewing electrodes onto the heart, with wires exiting the chest, risking infection, tissue damage, and clots. This innovation could reduce those dangers significantly. Source: Nature
