Ferrari has just officially unveiled its first ever all-electric car, called the Ferrari Luce. • Starting price: $640,000 • Interior co-designed with Apple's former head of design, Jony Ive • Range: 280 miles (expected EPA) • Peak charging speed: 350kW • 122 kWh battery • 1,050 horsepower • 0-60mph: 2.4s • 800v • Four-door four-seater • Four electric motors • OLED screens • Weight: 4,982 lbs • Front motors spin to 30,000 rpm, rears hit 25,500 rpm • Car uses an accelerometer to capture real vibrations from the electric motors & rear chassis. An algorithm filters out unpleasant frequencies and amplifies only the more “musical” sounds. This can be heard inside and outside the car. • Paddle shifter on steering wheel changes how aggressively torque is delivered, with five different levels • The trunk has 21.1 cubic feet of space, the largest luggage capacity the company has ever offered • 197.6 inches long, about as long as a Tesla Model S U.S. deliveries start in Q2 2027.

Programmable Equity. Stakeable Shares. Performing Assets. We're sprinting toward a highly composable financial future in which assets perform for owners in novel ways, and where @Payward rails open formerly hard-to-reach capital markets for businesses while breaking down global barriers for individuals to access great companies in U.S. markets. The $VIDA platform vision gives businesses a full operational framework to manage and measure the coming hybrid human-agent workforce that will unlock previously impossible human productivity and achievement. Now the world can participate in our value-creating mission. $VIDAx is available on Kraken's xStocks tokenized equity platform outside the U.S. today.

@DavidFBailey I don't know Antonio, but he along with Vivek and John in particular at Valor are also investors in a number of Bitcoin-native companies including Unchained, Voltage, and more. Good folks.

David Bailey🇵🇷 $2.0mm/btc is the floor
This is the guy who convinced Elon to accept Bitcoin at Tesla. Major Bitcoin Bull. Stands to make $140b in SpaceX IPO. Awesome for him, have heard from those that know him he’s a great guy and it’s well deserved. Here’s to rotating a measly $50b of his gains into BTC 🍾🥂
Bloomberg@business

Antonio Gracias, the founder of Valor and a longtime Elon Musk ally, controls a 7.3% stake in SpaceX, making him the second-largest holder after Musk himself that will earn the investor a giant windfall bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

There is a cashtag issue with our company stock, @nikitabier — $VIDA seems to quote prices correctly, but the company name is wrong... it should be Vida Global, Inc. We could not seem to find the right path to report this bug on a data feed, so I wanted to flag it to you.

Seeing so many videos claiming that new data centers are going to cause a climate and water crisis while leading to a centralized surveillance state—and not at all mentioning money and financial systems—are really something.

I don’t know why data centers have become this generations nuclear power. Unlike nuclear power, there is a 0% chance that a data center can lead to any sort of disaster scenario. This project in Utah is: - in an uninhabited area - bought and repurposed water already in use - is bringing its own power, so it won’t cost citizens anything It’s like being against building a nuclear power plant in the middle of Nevada, except there is no radioactive waste. No fall out. No risk of anything. It’s a big computer in the middle of nowhere, that is self sufficient in all resources. There are a million real problems in America. Data centers just aren’t one.
Quick Thoughts@lthlnkso

I think the big Utah data center is fine.

The vibe might have been in part a secret plan by Italian parmesan producers to increase the market’s appetite for ground parmesan products. “Seriously. Just put it in a shaker on the table and let them have as much as they want for free—at first. That’s how we get into their pantry..”

@parkeralewis I think this step can be avoided, if we push on a few key areas. Leaving debasement as the market value for natural transition.

Stablecoins are going to converge to 1 for this reason, the winner likely becomes a CBDC and why not just use bitcoin. Every bitcoin wallet is interoperable + every lightning wallet is interoperable, respectively. Common language of value. The network effect is real & compounds.

It's easy to think stablecoins will be popular, we enable them at @ZapriteApp (limited capacity), some customers value it. However, if you actually interact with them, it makes bitcoin's interoperability make so much more sense and also makes clear why money converges to one!
