Michael Saylor used AI to appropriate a famous scene from the mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap to advertise STRC as a competitor to insured savings products like bank accounts and money markets. STRC is a share of Saylor’s company Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) that pays non-guaranteed dividends at the sole discretion of the company’s board of directors. Unlike US bank accounts or money markets that enjoy FDIC, NCUA, or SIPC guarantees against loss, STRC offers no such assurances. In fact, it’s fluctuated in value over the past 52 weeks from $90.52 to $100.42 — deviating substantially below its $100 par. In…

Michael Casey: AI lacks true intent, the industry faces both a bubble and rapid advancements, and the emergence of “proof of control” technology
Key takeaways AI agents are not capable of true thinking; they generate language probabilistically without intent. The AI industry is experiencing both a bubble and rapid advancements simultaneously. AI development parallels the composability seen in DeFi, creating new opportunities. Human errors and limitations are often exposed during the rollout of new technologies. Geopolitical shifts are likely to impact global economic stability. AI advancements are significantly affecting job markets and economic structures. A new technology category, “proof of control,” is emerging due to regulatory demands. Sovereign AI should empower individuals rather than be controlled by governments. AI models are replacing entry-level…
The Ethereum Foundation’s new mandate — a sweeping document released Friday to clarify the organization’s role and principles — sparked a torrent of reactions, with supporters praising it as a long-overdue articulation of the blockchain’s ethos and critics saying it reinforces the foundation’s hands-off approach at a time when Ethereum needs stronger leadership to meet the growing needs of institutions.

The mandate frames the foundation’s job as maintaining Ethereum as a decentralized…

Joseph Delong’s desk looks less like a developer’s workstation these days and more like an electronics repair shop, littered with technology that crypto was pioneered to replace. That’s because the veteran Ethereum developer and former SushiSwap CTO has accumulated what he describes as a “box of goodies” while building a stablecoin credit card network called Colossus—from point-of-sale test terminals to card readers and manufacturer sample books. “Trying to get my hands on the hardware, it’s like this arcane knowledge that nobody could get access to,” Delong told Decrypt from his home office in San Antonio, Texas. Consisting of four…
