One small step towards mainstream adoption, one giant step for @solana . Massive day with the launch of $VSOL by @vaneck_us ! Humbled and proud to be a part of it with @solstrategies .

This, completely. I do exactly this. Anthropic is quickly becoming the IBM of AI IMO. I cancelled my Anthropic subscription last month. Codex writes far better code. Only thing I’d add is I really like @opencode as well. On top of its harness, which I happen to really like, you can also self host a web version of it and put it behind vpn / cloudflare access for security. Also, get complete freedom over which models you use

@KyleSamani Next step is Codex on a chatgpt pro subscription and switching to GPT 5.4 Ultra High. Hoping i can save you the next 6 months of fighting claude alignements

Our core belief with @altitude is that programmable blockchains, stablecoins and agents will form the frontier finance stack. Companies that value access, velocity and autonomy already know this and are adopting fast. The resilience of stablecoin adoption is the early proof.
Delphi Digital@Delphi_Digital

Our new report Stablecoins: The Next Frontier in Financial Infrastructure is live! Stablecoin supply sits at roughly $306B today. Around $100B of that was added in the last year alone while BTC sold off. For the first time stablecoin growth has completely decoupled from the broader crypto market. Sending $1,000 from the US to Turkey costs 2.5-6% on SWIFT. On stablecoin rails it costs around one basis point plus on/off-ramp fees. In corridors like Nigeria, Kenya, and Argentina over 80% of remittance costs aren't even FX risk. It's pure infrastructure overhead from maintaining correspondent banking chains that stablecoins eliminate entirely. That's where adoption is taking hold first. Stablecoin issuers are now the 19th largest holder of US treasuries. Those treasuries yield around 3.89% while a standard savings account pays 0.39% and interest checking pays 0.07%. Banks are capturing nearly the entire spread on deposits. If stablecoin issuers start passing that yield through to holders deposits migrate and banks lose the cheap funding they depend on to extend credit. Yield-bearing stablecoins are already here and more issuers are moving in that direction. Stablecoins grow whether or not crypto does now.

Solana changed my life 💯 What began as curiosity about a new ecosystem turned into something far bigger than I ever expected. Along the way I’ve met incredible people. Special shoutout to @BenHawkins for giving me the opportunity to learn more and play my very small part in contributing to the ecosystem. That journey eventually led me to where I am now, working alongside the amazing team at @solstrategies, where I continue learning from some of the best @m_hbbrd & @maxekaplan while also getting to connect with so many of the talented builders that make Solana what it is today. Grateful for the journey so far. My biggest takeaway? Solana is the future of global finance. Happy birthday Solana 🎉

Solana changed my life. It changed my career trajectory, it gave me new friends, it changed the way I think about finance and the future in general. Even the bad times shaped my way of thinking, positively. Happy birthday, Solana 🥳

@cavemanloverboy @bw_solana I meant on 2, but ya it actually wouldn’t require any governance anyway considering the effective cost will just 2x since slot times cut in half. Now imagine defi competing against staking with this😭

@maxekaplan @bw_solana slot times are unfortunately not in protocol. we could run 200ms or 800ms slot times right now without any protocol changes.

this opinion might piss some people off... we should 1. cut slot times in half before Alpenglow turns on 2. keep vote cost the same (double the cost to valis)

You don't need a PhD in DeFi. 🧠 "How do I earn on my assets?" That's it, That's the whole strategy. Want early access? DM me

The future of retail trading and payments is an agent + multisig. Giving an agent proposer privileges only on a multisig allows a human to reap the benefits of AI while still maintaining good security posture. Fancy UIs are likely worthless in 6-24 months. UX of simply just talking beats any UI. Degens will skip the multisig and just go straight to giving an agent a wallet. Also beats any UI, but isn’t for everyone (lol). RIP

You guys have locked my funds for over 1 week now. Have caused me more harm than good. Even while being a “VIP customer.” I have been nothing but nice during this process, but my patience is up as your support conveniently stopped answering me. I have never seen a company act like yours. I also heard from someone else today that you did the same exact thing to them as you did to me. You locked my account after receiving a direct deposit from my own employer. Something most of your competitors would love. Considering my employer is a public company and I am an executive, this should be the easiest case for your compliance department to resolve. We are over 1 week now with no replies, and I can’t even imagine how difficult you will make the lives of paying customers who have more complicated situations. This is why I cannot recommend anyone to use Kast

Ahhh, yeah that's a good point. Yeah definitely not for everyone. For very specific changes that are really technical also, there's no way you can really use voice sometimes, otherwise the transcription will just completely botch it. But for a lot of stuff, I have found it works.

@maxekaplan @openclaw Yeah, since it's a second language for me, the amount of corrections I need to do, I'd rather just type (it's been a few months since I tried, so there's a decent chance it's better now).

The future of software engineering is voice. This is @openclaw submitting a PR to upgrade it itself in a k8s cluster using Codex via ACP (agent communication protocol). All with just a quick voice message. Openclaw is not writing the code here. It’s spinning up codex to do it, monitor it, and steer the session if necessary. Bullish on ACP. Bullish on coding by voice

On the voice side, it takes the voice message sent from me, sends to openai/gpt-4o-mini-transcribe, then follows the prompts. Voice is SO convenient for me on some things. When it works, it's great. However, I do run into issues with voice. Just yesterday, I said "infra" and thought i said "info" and threw it through a loop. Definitely depends on the person / task for sure.

@maxekaplan @openclaw Are you using Wisprflow? Voice might be the one thing I'm not sold on, I quite like typing.

You’re not going to like the answer to this, but it’s openclaw. Ditch the UI, you don’t need that shit anymore. Build some clis to parse your stuff out of defi, give it a wallet that has proposer privileges on a squad, boom done. Can even make it event based to do shit for you if you want
