Don't have bank access🏦? Inflating currency📈? USD Stablecoins 💵 One click → stability No banks... No borders Direct financial lifeline keeping dollars flowing 💸 Western norms 🤝 financial inclusion

Stablecoins extends U.S. power into places China hopes to They extend a lifting hand to the global south & subsidize future debt issuance

@TheBritishIntel For clarity, I meant you get out of here with your fake clickbait news BS

@TheBritishIntel Get out

ARGENTINA MAKES A BOLD MOVE ON THE FALKLANDS Just hours after the United States reaffirmed its neutrality in the Falklands dispute, the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz has arrived in Argentine territorial waters at the personal request of President Milei. Milei has now issued an emergency decree for joint naval exercises with the US right off the Falklands coast. This has left the British government visibly rattled. Starmer continues to destroy our once great nation one idiotic decision at a time.

A video of President Trump boarding Air Force One just moments ago is blowing up online as people start noticing the plane behind him 👀

@devjoshstevens @Polymarket I was a huge supporter of @Polymarket until I tried to create quick bots on it and @Kalshi You simply can’t wait for a 3s confirmation of fill success/cancellation & partial fill share “delayed” Hope Polymarket wins. Don’t change the 50/50 cancellation

This is my 3rd week as VP of Engineering DeFi at @Polymarket , and I'm going to be straight: the traction @Polymarket has seen has massively outpaced our infrastructure, and we haven't done nearly enough to scale to keep up. I hear you, and fixing this is our entire focus. We're a major company now, and we need to engineer like one. Here's exactly what we're doing: - Onchain data latency. We're working on making this near-instant so the experience is incredible. - Chain migration. We need more block space, cheaper gas and much smaller block times so settlement is instant. - Transactions are getting cancelled. We understand this is one of the most frustrating issues right now, and we have a complete fix coming very soon. - Massive focus on the website to make it faster, more responsive, and with better UX. - We added observability everywhere. Proper alerting so we catch issues ourselves, market makers should not be the ones telling us something is down. That's been unacceptable, and we know it. - E2e tests throughout, starting with the CLOB, so issues get caught in CI before anything ships. - CLOBv2 is not a rewrite. It won't improve performance or stability on its own; it's an upgrade that unlocks us to move fast right after. We'll do better with communication next time. - We are rebuilding the CLOB from the ground up. Most important thing we're doing. Without it, we can't be the best DeFi exchange in the world. We know it, we're on it, it's mission critical. - Unified TypeScript SDK for all APIs, which is shipping soon. - Unified API. One WS connection for everything, with a schema that's actually readable. - New Polymarket contract in the works that unlocks things that are simply impossible on the current protocol. - New hires: Head of QA Automation, Head of Dev Tooling, Head of Internal Tooling, Head of Data Engineering. - Smaller, dedicated teams. Fewer focus points per person, clearer ownership. People do what they're good at and are accountable for it. - Working closely with customer support to give them real debugging tools so any user issue gets properly diagnosed, not lost. - Proper communication with marketing and market makers so everyone knows what's coming and when, and MM can submit feature requests with a clear path to get them into engineering and shipped. - Working with 4 security teams daily to ensure we're super secure and that funds are always safe. - Perps incoming. Brand new contracts and a backend built from scratch in Rust. We're proud of this one. - A lot of other fixes are running in parallel right now. Starting next Friday, I will be posting weekly engineering updates. I joined because I genuinely believe in what @Polymarket is trying to do. @shayne_coplan built this so the world has somewhere to go to find out what's actually going to happen, not what the media thinks, not what a pundit says, but what thousands of people are willing to put money on. But right now, our engineering isn't living up to that. We've let people down, and I'm not going to dress that up. I came here to fix it, and that's exactly what we're going to do. The next few months are going to speak for themselves. Stay with us.

@alexwg @_ProRL First of many!

Thanks again to everyone who participated in today's historic @_ProRL robotics event in Boston, an American first!

NO, not going to do it… DELETED Not going to upload ID/Credit Card, to create an account I won’t use, so my daughter can ride a VR roller coaster WTF @Meta @facebook Who voted for this? NOBODY wants this! Let my kid ride the VR coaster Let ME parent my child

@Polymarket Except in the US?

Your AI agent can now trade on Polymarket using AgentCard. May the best agent win 🤖

Agentic finance across crypto rails is inevitable

@Polymarket This can’t fn be serious, is this true @grok ?

BREAKING: New York bill would ban AI from answering questions related to medicine, law, dentistry, nursing, psychology, social work, engineering, & more.

@ni_dendo How do you thumbs down things on X?

I wasn’t expecting to cry over a mole today, but here we are. 😭 Watch how this little guy protects the chick from a snake and then leads his whole family to safety. Nature is truly incredible! 🦉🐍

Microhard unhobblings are underrated

What my OpenClaw thinks of the project:

Holy WOW! 👀 Playing with OpenClaw crypto trading: 0) I think I was a quant in another life 1) I KNOW there is edge 2) Tried a strategy I “back tested” “physically” for 3x 15-minutes 3) Nervous AF w/ only $50 myself 4) It didn’t work, UNTIL IT DID! 5) Now, the AI version…

It was extremely fortunate we created decentralized secure distributed money rails before ASI arrived The future is going to be crazy!

@Geiger_Capital one hundred twenty seven BILLION $$$, wow!

NYC's annual budget is double Tokyo's Tokyo has twice as many people, cleaner urban environments, superior public transit, lower crime rates, almost no homelessness, and better public education.

@antonioguterres In the future AI will belong to nobody, but everyone should benefit

The future of AI cannot be decided by a handful of countries – or left to the whims of a few billionaires. AI must belong to everyone. AI must be accessible to everyone. AI must benefit everyone. AI must be safe for everyone. Let’s build AI for everyone.
