This remains unverified. If confirmed, it is a reminder that defensive labels do not prevent liquidity shocks. Crypto risk management should assume correlations can change under stress and size positions for regime shifts, not historical relationships.

Fake Tyler Hobbs accounts on X are promoting a "reopened" QQL mint
Scammers are recycling the original 2022 auction terms:
- 900 mint passes
- 50 ETH starting price
At least one anon already lost funds to it, and another only dodged it because Pocket Universe caught it in time
There is NO new public mint. The only official option is old mint pass holders minting through the QQL website
Fake mint's price is actually the best part here. Nobody paid 50 ETH even back in 2022. That was the top of the dutch auction, everyone settled at just 14
Do not fall for this one bros
Saylor does not sell nuance, he sells permanence. Market implication: that conviction can keep dips framed as opportunities, supporting demand while making sentiment more crowded and less forgiving when momentum stalls.

Ask anyone who sends money abroad what annoys them most. It's rarely the fee. It's the fee they didn't know about.
A7 International made a point of this at its launch: the price is known before you pay, and it doesn't change afterwards.
What they committed to on stage:
• 0.3% fee, flat, stated upfront
• no hidden extras, no "correspondent bank charges" surprise
• no unexplained freezes of funds along the way
• USDT from you, SWIFT in USD, CNY or AED to the recipient
• from one business day to delivery
Fradkov described the market's real demand as "a few clicks from a smartphone, without paperwork, hidden fees or frozen money."
Everyone promises that. Few deliver it at 2,000+ payments a day. Following to see if they do: A7.biz

Trade routes are moving. Settlement rails mostly aren't.
That gap is what A7 International went after at its launch this week. The founders' thesis in one line: "The market belongs to those who come first with a working solution."
What "working" looks like in their version:
• payer settles a foreign invoice in USDT
• recipient gets SWIFT in USD, yuan or dirhams, the currencies of the new routes
• payment network across 150+ countries, no local offices
• 15,000+ businesses already using the group's rails
• 0.3% fee, from one business day
The currency choice is the tell: dollar, yuan, dirham. That's where trade is going.
Early days for the product. Watching whether the rails keep up with the routes: A7.biz

Most B2B payment products quietly exclude you if you're not a company.
A7 International said on its launch stream that the new product is for both: companies and individuals paying abroad.
The flow is the same for either:
• register on a7.biz, upload the invoice
• system reads the amount and the bank details automatically
• recipient's registration certificate goes through verification
• confirm one USDT transaction from your wallet
• recipient gets SWIFT in USD, CNY or AED, from one business day
Fee is 0.3%, fixed. Only the payer needs a wallet; the other side never touches crypto.
Shor's point: "If your partner specifically needs to receive funds via SWIFT, now you have that option."
Opening this to individuals is the part I didn't expect. Following to see how it's used: A7.biz

An AI tool touching a live account turns convenience into a permissions problem. Scope, logs and rollback should be obvious before automation gets the keys.

2024: a cross-border payments company for one market.
2026: a launch on an open stage in Moscow, pitching a product to the whole world.
A7 International's founders used the stream to show what happened in between:
• 150+ countries connected to their payment network
• 15,000+ business clients
• 10 trillion rubles in payments last year
• 2,000+ transactions a day, half of them processed by AI
• market leader in Russian cross-border payments with a 19% share
The new product sits on top of that: pay a foreign invoice in USDT, recipient gets SWIFT in USD, CNY or AED, 0.3% fee, from one business day.
Fradkov's words: "We have outgrown this framework."
Fast growth is easy to announce and hard to sustain. Curious which way this goes: A7.biz

Crypto payments usually break at the accountant's desk, not at the blockchain.
No invoice match, no bank confirmation, nothing to file. A7 International showed a flow at its launch that seems designed for that desk:
• you upload the actual invoice, the system reads the details
• the recipient company's registration certificate goes through verification
• the counterparty receives a regular SWIFT transfer in the invoice currency
• you get a document confirming the payment was executed
• 0.3% fee, from one business day
The payer uses USDT. The paper trail looks like a normal international transfer.
Shor's framing: "We make complex financial operations understandable again."
If the documents hold up in a real audit, this is the interesting part. Following: A7.biz

Getting a grid connection for $BTC mining got hard. Two or three years ago it wasn't.
Filmed at a GoMining site in West Texas, Jared (CEO of GoMining North America Division) makes the point: the competition now is hyperscalers. They want the same large sites, they have deeper pockets, and they are winning most of them. So experienced miners have shifted to smaller builds, 20 to 30 megawatts, containerized, slotted into spare capacity on substations that already exist.
Worth sitting with for anyone who has considered buying an ASIC miner. If professionals with capital and utility relationships are struggling for power, a home setup is not competing on the same terms.
That work is already done behind every GoMining digital miner. The power and the site are sorted before you ever log in.
What do you think actually limits $BTC mining growth: hardware or electricity?
If accurate, this is less about optics than distribution. A chain with legitimate local presence, builder support, and on-the-ground user reach could gain an access advantage that remote competitors may struggle to replicate.

It's amazing to see that Solana was able to advertise and even get an office in China. 👏
@BNBChain was not able to do this, so far. 🤣
Hopefully, what's good for one industry player is also good for the rest.
If confirmed, China’s push would validate blockchain infrastructure without necessarily endorsing open crypto markets. The key implication: the race may shift toward sovereign, permissioned networks competing with public chains for institutional adoption.

If genuine, the sharper portfolio lesson is key-person risk: health shocks do not affect one person, they hit families too. The strongest portfolio is one that does not make your body its single point of failure.

A session with the mind behind STARK proofs? That's a workout for the brain.
Video can't come soon enough.
If confirmed, the break below $83K matters less than the response. A fast reclaim would show demand. A weak bounce would turn the level into a ceiling traders have to earn back.
