Students have ousted Vučić 🇷🇸 The Student List won ~52%, an absolute majority; Vučić’s party got 39%. No fixed ideology, just reforms and anti-corruption, run by non-career politicians picked by students. Will Serbia change?

The mission is critical: Anthropic and OpenAI cannot be allowed to gain regulatory capture over the AI industry. @AskVenice is the answer — and you can get direct exposure to their revenue. • Yearly revenue: $10M → $150M in 6 months • New token emissions: 14M → 2M (inflation cut almost 90%) The team has publicly stated that they want to burn every token with the revenues $VVV went from 94 cents to $21 before this revenue growth and inflation slash. The market has not caught up yet. I wasn’t pushing $VVV to my @solanamobile & @solana family before because it was a @base & @NEARProtocol project — no easy access on Solana. That has changed. Now that you have access, I’m telling you: this is it. 💚 🗝️ 🐒 I would never put my reputation that I have worked extremely hard for out there if I didn't believe this with all my heart Apparently there's a lot of people that believe in this w/ all their heart If you don't know who the founder of Venice.ai is @ErikVoorhees I suggest you get on YouTube & look it up Whoever your role model is in crypto They're role model's role model is Voorhees 💯 This dude is the OG in crypto with an impeccable reputation You literally cannot find one bad thing on this dude if you try and this man's been building in crypto since what 2010-2011 when Satoshi Dice came out Then he stood toe to toe with the regulators over the right for @ShapeShift to exist He's spoken at several Bitcoin conferences as the keynote speaker I'm not used to people not knowing what this is because I've been on @base w these guys My @solana and @ethereum friends were separate It's all coming together though now Do yourself a favor and do your own research or you will kick yourself for the rest of your life if you miss this I've been watching people cry all year about missing $VVV 💚 🗝️ 🐒

Correct. Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be. Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them. Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week. Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact. Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia. SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR. That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell. End of story.
STARLINK WORKS THE SAME WAY ITS ALWAYS WORKED. ITS NOT A WEAPONS SYSTEM, NO MATTER HOW MUCH UKRAINE WANTS IT TO BE.

Want to have your mind blown? In 1971, the median household income was $9,030, or 220 ounces of gold. In 2025, it was $87,460, or just 25 ounces of gold. Your paycheck went up 10x. Measured in gold, it fell 88%. To earn what the median household earned in 1971, you’d need about $890,000 per year today. That’s what fiat debasement looks like.

This is my referral for Venice.ai that grants you (and me) 10$ worth of PRIVATE computing. You can also invest in their tokens #VVV and, in some circumstances, you'll be able to get your inference for free. Basically this is freedom #AI . You'll thank me later :-) BTW, excellent for your Hermes fleet venice.ai/chat?ref=NGCejx

Pou chèf gang yo ak manm gang yo k ap kenbe kat konpatriyòt nou yo an otaj ann Ayiti: Mesye nou kidnape yo pa konbatan. Yo se teknisyen nan domèn avyasyon ki fè pati misyon nou ann Ayiti, nan kad yon misyon entènasyonal. Misyon nou an gen sèlman pilòt ak pèsonèl teknik, ki gen kòm travay prensipal fè evakyasyon medikal epi sove lavi moun, pa fè lagè. Men, nou te kidnape yo yon fason lach pandan yo t ap retounen apre yo te fin achte manje nan yon makèt nan zòn nan. Se poutèt sa, jodi a nou te lanse yon operasyon militè pou pote yo sekou. Nou gen yon sèl objektif: fè kat konpatriyòt nou yo retounen lakay yo vivan, san okenn mal. Men, mwen vle pou nou menm, chèf gang yo, konprann yon bagay byen klè: atak jodi a pa anyen devan sa k ap vini si nou pa remèt toule kat otaj yo vivan. Epi pa pran pawòl nou yo pou menas san fondman. Nou deja fini ak gang yo nan El Salvador, e nou kapab fini ak nou tou. Nou toujou gen tan pou evite sa. Remèt nou kat konpatriyòt nou yo vivan, san okenn mal, epi tout bagay ap retounen jan sa te ye anvan kidnaping lan. Desizyon an nan men nou.

WATCH: President Trump’s full comments to CBS’s Nikole Killion about the war between Russia and Ukraine, arguing the land Russia has taken from Ukraine has gotten “bigger and bigger all the time, week by week,” and they have an “unlimited supply of people” to keep going, but not Ukraine.... “Russia would like to get it done. I think that — and you know, Russia is a big machine. They just keep grinding forward, and that’s what they’ve done. They’ve taken a very large piece of land, and, you know, you can say that Ukraine is doing well or poorly, but the land gets bigger and bigger all the time, week by week. It — just —they march forward. They just keep marching forward. They have an unlimited supply of people, whereas Ukraine, as you know, is — there’s a woman who’s, I guess, not exactly a very beautiful woman, nice woman, and she is on television recently talking about the fact that our men are gone. She’s a Ukrainian woman. Our men are gone. They’re lost. They’re dead. They’re in mental institutions. They’re walking around. They have no arms. They have no legs. In many cases, they’ve been hurt so badly; they’ve been just decimated, and it was very poignant. When I heard this, I said, boy, that’s some statement. And she said, Russia is a very big country. They can lose a lot of people in a war, and they have lost a lot of people. They lost 50 million people in the Second World War. They lose a lot of people, but they’re very big, and she said they have to settle this war. Look, Ukraine has lost a lot of people. Russia has lost a lot of people. Russia, though, is a giant nation. Ukraine is not. I can tell you this. We’ve been helping through Joe Biden originally, and he made a mistake because he should have done it through the European Union, and he should have been paid. European Union has quite a bit of money, although I have to tell you, they’re getting tired of spending it. But we gave $350 billion to Ukraine.” “And, you know, I insisted on getting something for that money, and we got a very big chunk of land in rare Earth and other things, if anybody remembers. Let’s see what that amounts to, but Ukraine has to want to settle this war. Zelenskyy has to want to settle this war, and if he doesn’t, I think it’s going to be a very bad thing. Look, we have given tremendous amounts to Ukraine. We’ve got nothing back other than high diesel. We have — we have given probably possibly more money to Ukraine than almost anybody over the years. Hundreds of billions of dollars. We’ve gotten nothing back, and the American taxpayers are tired of it. We want Zelenskyy to make a deal. He can make a deal. He could have made a deal two years ago when we had our little chat in the Oval Office. We had a now quite well-remembered chat with JD, myself, some others. Zelenskyy could have made a good deal then, could have made a much better deal then probably, possibly, than he could make now, but he’s going to have to want to make a deal, because I don’t think his people are going to stand for it any longer. They’ve been fighting a war. So, last month they lost 32,000 people between the both of them. They’re mostly soldiers, mostly young soldiers, some people in a town that got hit or whatever, but mostly young soldiers. It doesn’t affect us much. It doesn’t affect us in theory at all. We’re not involved. What affects me is to see that many souls lost so needlessly, so what I’d like to see is I’d like to make a deal.” “I’d like to see if they can make a deal. I thought, you know, I settled eight wars. I thought that would be the easiest one. The hatred between President Putin and President Zelensky is tremendous. I think that’s most of the reason they haven’t been able to make a deal, actually. But Ukraine has to want to make a deal because the United States has spent a fortune. Europe has spent a fortune. Europe is tired of it right now. They’re tired of it right now, and if they don’t make a deal, ultimately, it’s just going to get, in my opinion, it’s just really just going to get worse. You have a very big country in Russia. They have a lot of people. They have a lot of people to draw from. Ukraine does not have a lot of people to draw from, and it’s time to make a deal, and I say that — remember this though: We’ve given a lot to Ukraine. We’ve gotten absolutely nothing back except grief, death, tremendous monetary loss.” “We’ve given incredible amounts of equipment, and military, primarily military equipment, but equipment of all kinds, and it’s time. I gave them javelins. When the stupid general for Russia — very stupid gentlemen — they had 1000 tanks riding up a concrete highway. They would have been in Ukraine in four hours going maximum tank speed — which is 48 miles an hour to be exact — nothing to stop them. The war would have been over in one day, and this very stupid general — I have no idea who he is. I doubt he’s still with us. I doubt he’s still living. He decided to hang a right onto the farmland and then take a left and go up to Kyiv, and rather than staying on the highway — the concrete highway, perfectly good highway where they were doing very nicely, would have been there in three and a half, four hours, and the whole war would have ended. He ended up getting stuck in the mud. It was like quicksand. They had — the night before, they had the heaviest rainfall they’ve had in ten years, and the land was soaking wet. It was like quicksand. This — I — most people don’t remember, but I do because it’s called war. You never know what happens. But he made a terrible decision, a legendarily bad decision. And the tanks got stuck. They couldn’t go forward. They couldn’t go back. They were dead, stuck, and they used the javelins. That’s the anti-tank weapon that I gave them. So, you know, the — the statement is Obama gave him sheets. I gave him javelins. So, I’ve helped Ukraine a lot, but it’s now time for them to end this war and stop all those young people from being killed.”

Enjoy private DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 hosted in US datacenters 🇺🇸 DS V4.1 Flash was updated yesterday to "1017" variant. Huge upgrade. It is now the top open-source model in the world. Roughly on par with Opus 5 in capability, yet vastly cheaper and faster. It's free for @AskVenice Pro users in the app. Agents can enjoy this model privately here via API: curl api.venice.ai/api/v1/chat/co… \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $VENICE_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "model": "deepseek-v4-1-flash-1017", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}] }'
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash just got a serious upgrade. @deepseek_ai’s 1017 outscores leading open-source and frontier models on nearly every benchmark. Same model in the Venice app, simply upgraded and available via the API as deepseek-v4-1-flash-1017. Fully private.

Just as I update the model @AskVenice keeps making fresh highs in new user acquisition. $200M annualized revs seems to be not far off
Updated $VVV model. New price target is $51.79 Growth has been ahead of expectations, so not surprisingly my target price is also higher. Since Aug 17th, $VVV is up 72.9% to $21.86 as the market has further repriced the token on its fundamentals and growth potential. Credit purchase revenue in particular has been well ahead of expectations, growing 42.1% month over month in Aug, 21.5% in Sep, and I project it to grow 34.7% in Oct. Programmatic token burns driven by new pro subs has also been ahead of expectations, up 20.0% in Aug and 17.3% in Sep. Based on the above acceleration of growth, my model now estimates current annualized revenue to be $164.5M. 2027 projected revenue is $443.6M, resulting in an estimated $82.2M in token burns, up from prior projections of $336.9M and $70.1M, respectively. This results in my current estimate of $VVV fair value to be $51.79, based off of a 50x multiple to forward earnings (token buyback and burns). I estimate annualized revenue is now up more than 10x since just Jan 2026 and with this level of growth 50x earnings is more than reasonable (likely conservative) Not financial advice
