At least this one is not burning #USA

Cell phone addiction is an absolute thermonuke to the brain and nobody 'takes it seriously' because it is not clear that there is any solution in a world where the revealed preference of everyone across the globe, regardless of income, race, age, any factor whatsoever, would rather be on their phone than do *anything* else. Deciding "I use this too much" and meaningfully altering one's behaviour doesn't seem to have much success for any of the very small minority of people with the sentience or self-reflection to realize how bad it is. Most people seem to think of it as an unproductive habit at most, rather than an addiction. Any attempt to speak seriously about this is met with derision, accusations of pretentiousness. There is no real solution to it. The future of human cognition fifty years down the line is horrifying if you stop and think about it for even a moment.

What a pleasure to continue growing the partnership

Those who don’t understand that will struggle. What’s different today? US regulation, pushing the largest capital markets in the world towards tokenization. Partnerships with NASDAQ and LSE. More to come. This is a shift in the infrastructure of global markets

Facts - One of the best strategies is lending on @kamino

The debate over whether crypto and stablecoin companies should be allowed to offer interest or yield on customer balances without complying with traditional banking rules.... “If you are going to be holding balances and paying interest, that's a bank. You should be regulated by a bank. ... So we have been firm, one thing over here, yes, but if you want to be a bank, become a bank.” - Jamie Dimon, JP Morgan Chase CEO ft.com/content/8e82ae33-cc11…

xStocks are coming to the UAE. Following Payward’s Full Market Approval from Dubai’s VARA, Kraken will offer xStocks to UAE clients at launch.

"If I have a tokenized equity, why can’t I borrow against it?" Through xStocks’ composability, tokenized stocks can be used as collateral to borrow on @Kamino. "On traditional finance rails, that wasn't possible. Onchain, it becomes much simpler, and it’s already happening." xStocks Vaults take this further, allowing users on @KrakenFX and @KrakenPro to earn autocompounded yield on SPYx, QQQx and NVDAx.

Dude - @xStocksFi crushes on defi and within Dex and it’s not even close. Everyone else wants to centralize it all - look at the data, xStocks has the deepest defi roots.

I’ve never seen anyone that has their finger on the pulse of the zeitgeist as @alexandr_wang - to be young, a billionaire many times over, intellectual powerhouse and still be able to tap into the current cultural climate. Unreal.

I feel seen
