Obviously Paxton/Talarico is a hot race right now. But people are missing the best way to play this in the prediction markets.
You can buy NO on Talarico with a 3+ point margin for a roughly 2x payout.
Does anyone seriously believe Talarico can beat by more than 3 pts in Texas? That’s INSANE. Free money.
Finally set up my Grok Bot (@bot) and was very impressed.
IMMEDIATELY helpful to several of my work streams with zero configuration pain (unlike OpenClaw / Hermes). It just works.
Did anyone else give their bots names and faces just for fun? So much better than generic labels.
Aave cumulative buyback is sneakily approaching 100k tokens (~0.6% of fully diluted token supply). Few paying attention.
Props to ACI and @marczeller for pushing this forward -- Aave is one of the very few last-cycle DeFi giants that managed to actually turn profitable.

Dear Hyperliquid community,
We are impressed by your product, the technology, the decentralized governance, and the method of your rollout.
And we think we can be part of a trusted, compliant solution.
We provide research to the community, for free, in an effort to be helpful to builders and investors. There may be pros and cons — in fact there should be pros and cons — for any piece of research.
We are bullish Hyperliquid. We are owners (and have been for several months).
And we’d be thrilled to be a part of your community’s ecosystem. We have spoken to many of the leading HyperEVM builders and continue to look for new ways to contribute to Hyperliquid, whether that’s through this Agora proposal or something else in the future.
But we don’t like being gang-tackled. And you wouldn’t want us as a partner if we were pushed around easily.
Hyperliquid.
Good decision from the @ProofOfPlay team. P2E does not work and that has been obvious for quite some time.
If your average player is not PAYING you to play your game, then you're not a game. You're a ponzi.
Transition period ahead as more web3 games realize this.
Proof of Play and the Pirate Nation Foundation value the $PIRATE token.
In alignment with that belief, we're done giving tokens away to parties that have no alignment with our long-term success. P2E (& Play-and-Earn, etc.) is fundamentally broken.
Our announcement today, ending $PIRATE emissions for Infinite Tides, marks our departure from this broken model as we develop a token framework for the future that aligns all parties with our continued success. We're excited to share with you the new vision for sustainable token economies soon.
The exception to this is that it's reasonable for the TOP players in a competitive / ranked matchmaking system to be earning more than they put in. This creates positive incentives for a healthy eSports scene.
But MOST players should be spending more than they earn.
Fantastic structure by @MorphoLabs -- this is exactly what I wish every crypto project would do.
Token vs. equity misalignment is one of the most pervasive issues in crypto.

At @vaneck_us, we cover the full spectrum of a founder's journey in crypto:
- starting with early stage rounds (via VanEck Ventures, cc: @0xlaguna)
- then doubling down as they launch tokens via our liquid fund (Digital Assets Alpha, cc: @vaneckpk @GabeRabello @mattmaximo)
- and supporting them by creating exchange traded products like $NODE (cc: @matthew_sigel @Patrick_Bush_VE @n_frankovitz)
We've got an all star team (including the amazing @VidiellaLaura) and are building a full stack firm to be high conviction, long term partners for the best builders in crypto.
Thanks for having us on to share our story, @jacqmelinek!
