Shine Brighter!
The world will become darker and darker as we await the return of Jesus! There is no doubt, as the Word of God tells us this.

Isaiah 60:1-3
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
Everyone is debating fiat vs crypto, whether AI is a bubble, or if Gen1 treasury companies are “the future.”
They’re missing the real story:
The financial system is running on assumptions that simply don’t match reality anymore.
This is where the next trillion-dollar platforms will emerge.

Failure #1: Money still settles like it’s the 1970s.
T+2.
Office hours.
Slow collateral movement.
Siloed systems.
Meanwhile AI, crypto, and global liquidity operate 24/7.
We’re running the future on yesterday’s rails.

Failure #2: The Volatility Paradox.
Gen1 treasuries pretend volatility doesn’t matter.
Institutions pretend it matters too much.
Both are wrong.
We need systems built to hold BTC/ETH through the full cycle — not get wiped out during a −70% drawdown.
This problem remains unsolved.

I'm looking at the hole that the plane supposedly made in the wall of the Pentagon on 9/11.
It is just a little larger than the diameter of the plane's fuselage.
Somehow we are supposed to believe that when the wings hit the wall, they made no scar. Even worse, we're expected

to believe that the wings instantly folded inwards and continued into the building with the fuselage - without leaving the plane's fuel outside.
Somehow the heavy jet engines also instantly stopped their forward trajectory, scooted over to the fuselage, and continued with the

Even more monstrous of a lie is that the 52' tail would also not be sheared off, or damage the wall above the hole, or perhaps somersault above the building, but it too halted its forward trajectory, scrunched downwards in a microsecond,

I have been training neural networks for 10 years now.
Here are 16 ways I actively use to optimize model training:

Here are 16 ways I actively use to optimize model training:
(detailed explanation ...🧵)
First, lets look at some basic techniques:
1) Use efficient optimizers—AdamW, Adam, etc.
2) Utilize hardware accelerators (GPUs/TPUs).
3) Max out the batch size.
4) Use multi-GPU training through Model/Data/Pipeline/Tensor parallelism.

5) Bayesian optimization for hyperparameter optimization:
This technique takes informed steps based on the results of the previous hyperparameter configs.
This way, the model converges to an optimal set of hyperparameters much faster.

What should European nations do now?
@alexstubb @EmmanuelMacron @Keir_Starmer @bundeskanzlerwhitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl…
Here is in short tweet chain what European nations should understand and then do:
1/ Europe’s era of relying on American power is over.
The continent must learn to deter — or learn to kneel.

2/ The U.S. now protects its hemisphere, not ours. Geography has changed more than treaties.
1/Sicily has been a major trade crossroads since the Neolithic era,through which sea routes passed, connecting the peoples of the Eastern Mediterranean with the West and vice versa. The result of this event was the long-term habitation of the Sicilian land by a mosaic of peoples.
2/ Thus, when the Greek colonists arrived on the island after the mid-8th century BC, they found three population groups: the Sicilians in the E, the Sicanians in the C-W, and the Elymians in the NW. The origin of these peoples has been a subject of controversy since antiquity.
3/ The literary tradition has handed down to us several contradictory narratives, referring to mass migrations, often in the form of mythical tales. The best-known mythological tale is Minos' pursuit of the fugitive Daedalus in Sicily and the founding of Cretan cities there.
My goal as a journalist is to report carefully on the best, most practical social policy ideas that can change the world, and this is easily the most exciting one I’ve had the opportunity to cover this year.

In Bogotá they're trying to do something tricky: elevate both care work and caregivers, while also saying, “You shouldn’t have to be doing this so much — you deserve a full life beyond caring for kids, for aging relatives, for your partner."

Bogotá has opened 25 "care blocks" since 2020 — neighborhood hubs where women can hand off laundry, see a therapist, finish their education, join a fitness class or just rest, while their kids or elderly relatives are cared for nearby.
My grandfather, Jack Zaryski, was an uneducated, penniless village boy from Western Ukraine.
At 16, he hugged his parents goodbye — forever — and boarded a ship to Ellis Island.
He never saw his mother or father again.
That kind of courage is almost impossible to imagine today.

He rode the rails across Canada during the Great Depression.
Took whatever work he could find.
Helped build the Alaska Highway.
Became a welder.
Scratched and saved until, at 39, he bought a $15,000 house in 1950 for his wife and four kids.
Zero privilege.
Zero safety net.
Just grit, faith, and duty to the generation coming after him.

He never owned a share of stock.
Never speculated.
He trusted only government bonds and hard work.
But if he were alive today?
He would love Bitcoin.
He would love Ethereum.
And he would absolutely understand what I’m trying to do with Rising Dynasty.

Everyone thinks the Clarity Act + Genius Act are just “crypto regulation.”
They’re not.
They’re the early blueprint for the next global monetary system — and almost nobody sees the second-order effects coming.
Here are the real surprises.

Surprise #1: The U.S. just unlocked a Eurodollar 2.0 system.
Not DeFi.
Not meme tokens.
A regulated, institutional stablecoin engine that can scale globally.
This will grow far faster than analysts, politicians, or banks expect.

Surprise #2: AI will become the biggest user of stablecoins.

AI agents executing micro-transactions across thousands of networks.
The Genius Act quietly created the monetary substrate for the AI century.

On this day in 1919, a plot against Ukraine’s anarchist forces was crushed, a reminder that the fight for independence and self-determination in Ukraine has deep, tangled roots long before the modern era.
From the chaos of 1919 to the fall of the USSR in 1991, Ukraine’s struggle for self-rule persisted through shifting powers. History shows this fight for sovereignty is long-standing, not just a modern story.
My grandfather came through Ellis Island in 1927 with nothing but grit.
Built the Alaska Highway.
Started a family on a welder’s salary.
Created a foundation that still supports us a century later.
That generation understood something we’ve forgotten:
systems determine outcomes.

In 1950, owning a home was the on-ramp to the middle class.
It was the collateral engine of that era.
By 2041, the on-ramp won’t be real estate —
it will be owning pieces of the new collateral layer: BTC and ETH.

By 2041, the on-ramp won’t be real estate —

Vision 2041 is simple:
•BTC becomes global non-sovereign collateral
•ETH becomes the global settlement + execution layer
•AI becomes the demand engine that uses both
•And companies like EMJX become the treasury OS routing that entire system
This shift is as big as going from farms → factories → microchips.

I want to share with you a reflection that, in politics, also in international politics, what matters is not only where we are, but the direction of travel (1/3).
And the Helsinki Final Act was possible because the then Soviet bloc, and in particular the Soviet Union, was travelling in the right direction, away from the export of revolution and totalitarianism towards international rules and towards reform (2/3).
And the problem is that today's Russia is travelling in the opposite direction, from democracy to autocracy and from coexistence to aggression. This is the fundamental problem, that today's Russia is more repressive and more aggressive than the Soviet Union in the 1970s (3/3).
