@PradeepVM11 @Aptos @coinbase right? I think that is one of the most impressive parts to Aptos, the fact that they're dropping these hyper complex solutions while still keeping it so grounded and user-friendly 😏

Quantum threat preparedness: Aptos was highlighted as a leader by @Coinbase's Quantum Advisory Board. Here's why 👇 Your address isn't tied to your public key. Swap your authentication key to a post-quantum one in a single transaction. No new accounts. Nothing moves.

@Aptos for crypto to truly scale, then we need the same sort of privacy that we've gotten use to from web2 🤷‍♂️ this move makes so much sense.

@keeyushee @PiCoreTeam even the projects that are out here trying to build a humanity layer have a hard time showing off numbers like these 😏 and then again, pi has so much more to it than "just" this human layer.

Stockholm will be the tech powerhouse of Europe. You can walk into a real startup event any day of the week now. Not the old invite only VC dinners. Actual community stuff. Hackathons, operators sharing playbooks, fireside chats, product and design workshops. Companies opening their doors and giving away knowledge that used to stay locked inside teams. Most of it free and fully open. Teenagers building their first company sit next to veterans starting their next one. The full mix is showing up. Sweden has always been good at riding technological shifts even when we don't build the underlying platforms. This feels like one of those moments. A new wave of hackers out building and spotting opportunities everywhere. The investing side is widening too. First time angels writing checks, not just the usual insiders. Global funds fly in every week. US firms move fast, local funds compete, and I've seen pre seed and seed rounds of 3 to 15 million close in days. The government is even looking at allowing private assets in ISK, which would open up private company investing to far more people. And all of it sits within a short walk. The internet and mobile generation with Spotify, King, Klarna. The digitize the physical world generation with Voi, Kry, Einride, Instabee. Now the AI first wave with Sana, Tandem and Lovable. A new era is starting in Stockholm.

Everyone's been waiting for "the European Amazon" for 20 years. Turns out it might be a discount grocery chain. Dutch Central Bank just picked Lidl as its cloud provider. Not AWS. Not Google. Not Microsoft. Lidl. The reason: trust in US tech is eroding across European institutions. Data sovereignty rulings, the political climate, tariff drama. Every quarter the case for sitting on top of US infrastructure gets harder to defend. So Europe is decoupling. Quietly. Contract by contract. While everyone watches the political theatre. Lidl pulled in nearly €2B from cloud last year. All infrastructure built inside the EU. The "European alternative" people have been waiting for? Turns out it's a grocery chain that's been quietly investing for years. If a discount supermarket can win central bank cloud contracts, is US big tech's moat in Europe thinner than anyone admits? Last place anyone was looking. First to deliver.

Give A Shit About Nature@giveashitnature·
Switzerland is turning the unused space between train tracks into solar power plants. A startup called Sun-Ways is piloting removable solar panels that roll out like a carpet between the rails. No new land needed, easy to maintain, and they feed clean energy straight into the grid. If the US scaled something similar across its massive rail network, it could generate enough clean, homegrown electricity to power millions of homes. This is the kind of smart, low-impact idea that gets more clean energy online without paving over more fields or wild spaces. Innovations like this show we can produce the power we need while leaving more room for wildlife and nature. Pretty cool engineering with a big upside if you ask me.

Elon Musk@elonmusk·
This is how an economy actually works
Brivael Le Pogam@brivael

Elon Musk avait dit un truc qui m'avait marqué sur l'allocation de ressources. En substance : passé un certain niveau de richesse, l'argent n'est plus de la consommation, c'est de l'allocation de capital. Cette phrase change tout. L'économie, dans le fond, c'est juste un problème d'allocation. Tu as des ressources finies et des usages infinis. Qui décide où va quoi ? Imagine une cour de récré. 100 enfants, des paquets de cartes Pokémon distribués au hasard. Tu laisses faire. Très vite, un ordre émerge. Les bons joueurs accumulent les cartes rares, les collectionneurs trient, les négociateurs trouvent des deals. Personne n'a planifié. Et pourtant chaque carte finit dans les mains de celui qui en tire le plus de valeur. Le système maximise le bonheur total de la cour. C'est ça, la main invisible. Maintenant fais entrer la maîtresse. Elle trouve ça injuste. Léo a 50 cartes, Tom en a 3. Elle confisque, redistribue, impose l'égalité. Trois effets immédiats. Les bons joueurs arrêtent de jouer, à quoi bon. Les mauvais n'ont plus de raison de progresser, ils auront leur part. Les échanges s'effondrent. La cour est égale, et morte. Elle a maximisé l'égalité, elle a détruit le bonheur. Le problème de la maîtresse, c'est qu'elle ne peut pas avoir l'information que la cour avait collectivement. C'est le problème du calcul économique de Mises, formulé en 1920. L'URSS a essayé de le résoudre pendant 70 ans avec le Gosplan. Résultat : pénuries, queues, effondrement. Pas parce que les Soviétiques étaient bêtes, parce que le problème est mathématiquement insoluble en mode centralisé. Quand Musk a 200 milliards, il ne les consomme pas, il les alloue. SpaceX, Starlink, Neuralink, xAI. Chaque dollar est un pari sur le futur. Et lui a un track record. PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX. Il a démontré qu'il sait identifier des problèmes immenses et y allouer des ressources avec un rendement spectaculaire. L'État aussi a un track record. Hôpitaux qui s'effondrent, éducation qui décline, dette qui explose, services publics qui se dégradent malgré des budgets en hausse constante. Le marché identifie les bons allocateurs, la politique identifie les bons communicants. Le profit n'est pas une finalité, c'est un signal. Il dit : tu as alloué des ressources rares vers un usage que les gens valorisent suffisamment pour payer. Plus le profit est gros, plus la création de valeur est grande. Quand Starlink est rentable, ça veut dire que des millions de gens dans des zones rurales ont enfin internet. Quand un ministère est en déficit, ça veut dire qu'il consomme plus qu'il ne produit. L'un crée, l'autre détruit, et on appelle ça redistribution. Dans nos sociétés il y a deux catégories d'acteurs. Les entrepreneurs et les bureaucrates. L'entrepreneur prend un risque personnel pour identifier un problème, mobiliser des ressources, créer une solution. S'il se trompe il perd. S'il a raison, ses clients gagnent, ses employés gagnent, ses fournisseurs gagnent, l'État collecte des impôts. Il est la cellule de base du progrès humain. Le bureaucrate ne prend aucun risque personnel. Son salaire est garanti. Au mieux il maintient une rente existante. Au pire il la détruit par excès de réglementation, mauvaise allocation forcée, incitations perverses qui découragent ceux qui produisent. Mais dans aucun cas il ne crée. Regarde les 50 dernières années. iPhone, internet civil, SpaceX, Tesla, Google, Amazon, Stripe, mRNA, ChatGPT. Toutes des inventions privées, portées par des entrepreneurs, financées par du capital risque. Pas un seul ministère n'a inventé quoi que ce soit qui ait changé ta vie au quotidien. La France est devenue le laboratoire mondial de la dérive bureaucratique. 57% du PIB en dépenses publiques, record absolu. Une administration tentaculaire, une fiscalité qui pénalise la création de richesse. Résultat : décrochage face aux États-Unis, à l'Allemagne, à la Suisse. Fuite des cerveaux. Désindustrialisation. Dette qui explose. Et le pire c'est que la mauvaise allocation s'auto-renforce. Plus l'État prélève, moins les entrepreneurs créent. Moins ils créent, moins il y a de base fiscale. Plus l'État s'endette et taxe. Boucle de rétroaction négative parfaite. La maîtresse pense qu'elle aide, et chaque année la cour produit moins. Dans nos sociétés, ce sont les entrepreneurs, toujours, qui font avancer la civilisation. Les bureaucrates au mieux maintiennent une rente, au pire la détruisent. Aucune société n'a jamais progressé en taxant ses créateurs pour subventionner ses gestionnaires. La question n'est jamais qui a combien. C'est qui alloue le mieux la prochaine unité de ressource pour maximiser le futur de l'humanité. La réponse depuis 200 ans n'a jamais changé. Ce ne sont pas les fonctionnaires.
