@perplexity_ai Would be great if there was a virtually universal service like Plaid that works for all major banks in individual countries.

Computer now connects with Plaid to link bank accounts, credit cards, and loans.
Track spending in detail, build custom budget tools, and visualize your net worth alongside your investment portfolio.

@cremieuxrecueil Would have lasted quite a bit longer if he didn’t bring attention to himself with a NYT article

BREAKING: Iran's President Pezeshkian says Iran is ready to end the war with the US but wants guarantees.

@benwfreeman1 @luanalopeslara @mansourtarek_ @Kalshi What was/is your methodology on predicting elections accurately?
English
BIG NEWS: I’m joining the Kalshi team! My main goal is going to be growing Kalshi’s political / election markets in terms of visibility, volume, and influence, and showing the world why these markets are so important.
This means that I have given up trading on Kalshi. While I loved being a trader and loved giving away “alpha” to my followers, I can no longer do so due to Kalshi’s policies. It was a hard tradeoff for sure. From my days of interning at the White House, starting my own election prediction Youtube channel, to starting trading on Kalshi’s election markets in October 2024, politics, and specifically predicting elections has always been my passion. Since starting tweeting in October 2025, I wanted to show a new audience of why I believe in the power of election prediction markets. I’ve 20x’ed my followers since starting then, and have had a blast doing it along the way with y’all.
Now, my goal is to drive liquidity to these markets and make them a bigger part of the cultural zeitgeist and political landscape. Having very liquid, high volume political prediction markets makes our political system better. More accurate forecasts benefit traders and non-traders alike, and growth in political prediction markets translates into higher participation and interest in our political system, which is good for democracy. These markets are built on rationality and probabilistic thinking, which is desperately needed in today’s corrupted information environment. These markets can be incredibly useful for campaigns, political commentators, casual political viewers, fundraisers / bundlers, investors wanting to hedge political risk, investors wanting political exposure, small dollar campaign donors, academics, and everyone in between. Political prediction markets are for everyone. I’m really excited to be a part of the team that mainstreams these markets.
Feel free to reach out to me, if you have any ideas on how to grow Kalshi’s political / election markets! Thank you, all!

RIP Wise.
I lost $8,000 in fees last year.
And I had no idea.
I’m French. I live in Bali. I run a US LLC.
Every dollar I earn touches 3 countries before it reaches my pocket.
1. Stripe takes 1%–3% on every transaction.
2. Wise takes a cut on every transfer.
3. Currency conversion eats another big chunk every single time.
I thought this was just the cost of doing business internationally. I never questioned it.
Then I realized there were other options.
@airwallex. was on the top of my list but now I’ll 100% switch.
The money I’ll save in fees will make me fly business to Europe for free each year.

We saved our customers over $1.3 Billion in 2025 alone. That value has helped @Airwallex reach $1.2 Billion in ARR, growing 85% YoY. @Deel, @McLarenF1 , @boltapp and 200,000+ other customers trust us because legacy banking wasn't meant for global businesses: • Opening a bank account in a new country takes weeks • SWIFT transfers take 3-5 days • Other platforms convert your money even when you don't want to But with Airwallex you can: 1. Open an account and get paid like a local in 70 countries Most platforms force you to convert your money into your currency and charge you a conversion fee to do it. With Airwallex, your UK client pays you in GBP and it sits in your GBP balance. Your Australian client pays in AUD and it sits in your AUD balance. When you need to pay a UK vendor or run Australian payroll, you can simply pay from the same currency in your Airwallex account which leads to zero conversion fees. 2. Send and receive money on the same day SWIFT takes 3–5 days and hits you with unpredictable fees on every transfer. But over 90% of Airwallex transactions happen on the same day. Since Airwallex uses local rails to move your money, it also happens at near-zero cost. 3. Issue multi-currency cards instantly Airwallex helps you issue multi-currency cards to your employees across the entire world. And every transaction is automatically synced to your accounting system in real-time. 4. Integrate Airwallex in your product SaaS platforms and marketplaces can also use our APIs to offer these financial services to their customers. In fact, many companies are doing it already. But this is just a glimpse of what Airwallex can do. We’re building the all-in-one financial stack your company will ever need. If you're doing $50M+ in revenue, you could save up to $500k in fees. And that's money back into your business. Sign up for a demo here: airwallex.com/offer/airwalle…

Chicago just opened a school with zero teachers.
Not reduced. Eliminated.
An AI teaches reading, writing, math. Two hours a day. One-on-one with a machine.
Second graders spend the rest of the day running businesses.
No teaching degree required. Bachelor’s minimum.
Tuition: $55,000 a year.
Your kid’s public school still can’t agree on homework policy.
Who’s obsolete — the students, or the system?

I'm going to make some obvious points.
(1) Blowing up all the oil infrastructure in the Middle East is an insane idea, and may well result in a global economic crash and humanitarian crisis unrivaled in the lives of those now living. We're talking about the price of everything everywhere rising, from food to gas, at a moment when inflation was already high. All of that will be laid at the feet of the authors of this war.
(2) The antebellum status quo of Feb 27, 2026 was just not that bad, but we're unlikely to return to it. Expect indefinite, long-term, ongoing disruptions to everything out of the Middle East.
(3) Also assume tech financing crashes for the indefinite future. The genius plan to get the Gulf states caught in the crossfire has incinerated much of the funding for LPs, for datacenters, and for IPOs. Anyone in tech who supported this war may soon learn the meaning of "force majeure" as funding gets yanked.
(4) Many capital allocators will instead be allocating much further down Maslow's hierarchy of needs, towards useful basic things like food and energy.
(5) It's fortunate that all those progressives yelled about the "climate crisis." Yes, their reasoning about timelines was wrong, and much of the money was wasted in graft, but the result was right: we all need energy independence from the Middle East, pronto. It's also fortunate that Elon and China autistically took climate seriously. Now they're going to need to ship a billion solar panels, electric vehicles, batteries, nuclear power plants, and the like to get everyone off oil, immediately.
(6) It's not just an oil and gas problem, of course. It's also a fertilizer problem, and a chemical precursor problem. Maybe some new sources will come online at the new prices, but it takes time to dial stuff up, particularly at this scale, so shortages are almost a certainty.
That said, China has actually scaled up coal-to-chemicals[a,c] (C2C), and there's also something more sci-fi called Power-to-X[b] which turns arbitrary power + water + air into hydrocarbons. But all of that will need to get accelerated. I have a background in chemical engineering so may start funding things in this area.
(7) Ultimately, this war is going to result in tremendous blame for anyone associated with it. It's a no-win scenario to blow up this much infrastructure for so many people. Simply not worth it for whatever objective they thought they were going to attain. But unless you're actually in a position to stop the madness, the pragmatic thing to do is: scramble to mitigate the fallout to yourself, your business, and your people.

@ChrisWillx How is this even possible? It doesn't pass my BS detector.

There is a shortage of straight men in New York.
Due to a shortage of male attendees, some dating events in NYC charged women $100 and men $0, yet attendance still ran 3:1.

Prediction markets are one of the most hotly-discussed new technologies of the past few years. @mansourtarek_ and @luanalopeslara, founders of @kalshi, joined @matthuang and me in the Cheeky Pint pub. We discussed their landmark lawsuit against the CFTC, how market making works on Kalshi, and where prediction markets go from here.

maturing is realizing that FTX was one of the best investors in crypto industry:
> $500M in Anthropic would now be worth roughly $30.4B
> $1B in Solana would now be worth roughly $5.1B
> $648M in Robinhood would be $5.7B
> $100M in Sui would be $1.2B
> $1.15B in Genesis Digital Assets would be $3.5B
> $700M in SpaceX via K5 would be $3B
did some estimates and their total portfolio would be up from $4.7B to $52.5B which is a $47.8B in rise
absolutely nuts

Billionaire Marc Andreessen says he has "zero" introspection, and that the idea itself is a modern invention.

🚨 Do you understand what happened in the last 12 hours?
> A CEO of a $200 billion company said on camera that 35% of new grads won't find jobs. He didn't even flinch saying it.
> Meta made $165 billion last year and is still firing 15,000 people because apparently record profit isn't profitable enough.
> Some random guy in Florida sold his entire house in 5 days using ChatGPT. No real estate agent, no commission, no experience. Just vibes and a $20 subscription.
> A man in Australia cured his dying dog's cancer with AI after every single vet told him there was nothing left to do. Built a custom vaccine from his couch.
> The guy who created Uber and left 300,000 taxi drivers broke is back. Building robots now because apparently ruining one industry wasn't enough.
> Tinder wants access to your camera roll. Your drunk photos, your 3am notes app meltdowns, your deleted selfies. They're calling it a "vibe check."
> Naval, the man who made hundreds of millions investing in software, just said software is dead. Four words and the entire industry felt it.
> And Anthropic removed the limit on how long their AI can think and then doubled everyone's usage for free. Because when the product is addictive enough you give the first taste away.
All of that happened today. Not this week, not this quarter. Today. A random Saturday in March.
This is worse than you being on meth.
