President Trump just hosted the GENIUS Act ceremony at the White House.

One by one, Trump and Sacks delivered major announcements and clues on what's coming next—directly to the American people.

Here's everything you should know (the behind-the-scenes details are incredible):🧵

1/ The Legislative Rescue Operation

Just 48 hours ago, media declared the GENIUS Act "dead."

Trump's late-night vote count:

3:00 AM: 9 votes short
3:30 AM: 4 votes short
4:00 AM: "We were in good shape"

@DavidSacks called it the most dramatic legislative save in modern history.

2/ The Record-Breaking Standoff

House Republicans staged unprecedented resistance:

• 10-hour vote held open (breaking modern records)
• 13 GOP holdouts initially blocked the bill
• Trump summoned 11 rebels to Oval Office
• Personal intervention secured their votes

3/ The Dollar Dominance Strategy

GENIUS Act creates financial warfare through technology:

• Stablecoins backed 1:1 with US dollars/Treasury bills
• Transactions settle in seconds vs weeks
• Every digital payment strengthens American financial power
• "21st century upgrade" to decades-old system

4/ The BRICS Counterstrike

Trump's tariff threats delivered immediate results:

• 10% tariff on countries "aligning with anti-American BRICS policies"
• Previously threatened 100% tariffs for dollar replacement
• BRICS meeting attendance collapsed: "almost nobody showed up"

5/ The Crypto Industry Transformation

From persecution to partnership in 6 months:

• Biden era: Crypto founders arrested, industry under assault
• Trump Day 1: Fired SEC Chair Gary Gensler (biggest campaign applause)
• Ended Operation Choke Point 2.0
• Pardoned Ross Ulbricht (crypto martyr)

6/ The Economic Impact Scale

@DavidSacks' Treasury projections:

• "Trillions of dollars" in new Treasury demand
• $250 billion stablecoin market now regulated
• Banks/credit unions can issue their own stablecoins
• Strengthens dollar's 58% global reserve dominance

7/ The Industry Validation

Crypto leaders present at signing:

• @brian_armstrong (Coinbase)
• @DavidLRipley (Kraken)
• @jerallaire (Circle)
• Ryan McInerney (Visa)
• @chrispavlovski (Rumble)
• @vladtenev (Robinhood)
• @tyler and @cameron (Gemini)
• @paoloardoino (Tether)

Trump: "You've made our dollar look really good and strong and powerful."

8/ The Technology Revolution

Payment system transformation:

• Current system: Weeks to clear international payments
• New system: Seconds for transaction settlement
• Updates financial backbone "decades out of date"
• Creates new "payment rails" for global economy

9/ The Global Financial Reset

Trump's warning to competing currencies:

"If we lost that [reserve currency status], that would be like losing a world war."

The BRICS threat neutralized:

• Dollar remains world's primary reserve currency
• Digital transactions now flow through US-backed system
• America extends financial dominance into cyberspace

10/ The "Crypto Capital" Strategy

Next legislative priorities announced:

• CLARITY Act for broader crypto market structure
• Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act (bans federal digital currency)
• Both heading to Senate after House passage
• Complete regulatory framework by year-end

11/ Why This All Matters

This solves America's long-term financial dominance problem:

• China and BRICS were gaining ground with alternative payment systems
• US financial infrastructure was decades behind technologically
• Now every blockchain transaction strengthens the dollar
• America just made itself the default financial operating system of the internet

He predicted:

• AI vision breakthrough (1989)
• Neural network comeback (2006)
• Self-supervised learning revolution (2016)

Now Yann LeCun's 5 new predictions just convinced Zuckerberg to redirect Meta's entire $20B AI budget.

Here's what you should know (& how to prepare):

@ylecun is Meta's Chief AI Scientist and Turing Award winner.

For 35 years, he's been right about every major AI breakthrough when everyone else was wrong.

He championed neural networks during the "AI winter."

But his new predictions are his boldest yet...

1. "Nobody in their right mind will use autoregressive LLMs a few years from now."

The technology powering ChatGPT and GPT-4? Dead within years.

The problem isn't fixable with more data or compute. It's architectural.

Here's where it gets interesting...

In 2021, he predicted the rise of:

• AI chatbots
• $100M training runs
• Chain-of-thought reasoning

All before ChatGPT even existed.

Presidents, AI leaders, and top experts listen when he speaks.

Now, Daniel Kokotajlo says these 5 AI trends will shape the next 100+ years:

First, his track record:

Kokotajlo studied AI timelines for years while working at OpenAI.

He predicted chatbot breakthroughs and massive training costs when most experts thought AGI was decades away.

Now, presidents and AI leaders treat his forecasts as required reading:

"Recursive Self-Improvement"

Daniel predicts that by 2027, AI systems will become better at AI research than humans.

This creates a feedback loop where each generation of AI builds a more capable successor.

Progress accelerates from years to months to weeks.

1/ The Feedback Loop

AI will become better at improving AI itself.

The timeline is staggering: Each new AI generation will create its successor in months, not years.

By 2027, what used to take decades happens in weeks.

And it's already starting:

BREAKING: MIT just analyzed 300 AI deployments worth $40 billion & the results are devastating.

Turns out, 95% of enterprise AI projects deliver zero measurable business impact.

Here's what the data revealed:

(hint: the pattern matches every major technology bubble we've seen)

The research findings are stark.

Despite $30-40 billion in enterprise AI investment, only 5% of companies are extracting millions in value.

The remaining 95% show no measurable P&L impact.

MIT's analysis reveals why this divide exists...

The research team conducted 150 executive interviews, surveyed 350 employees, and analyzed 300 public AI implementations.

Their conclusion challenges conventional wisdom about AI failures.

This isn't a technology problem—it's a strategic implementation gap.

Fasting is one of the most powerful bio hacks on Earth.

It changes your entire mental, physical, and emotional state while melting fat and cleaning up the cells in your body.

Here's how to perform a fast correctly (according to science): 🧵

Most people think fasting is just starvation or a fad diet.

But here's the science: A 48-hour fast increases growth hormone by 500% and activates autophagy, your cellular cleanup system.

These changes begin at hour 16 and rival expensive longevity treatments.

The mechanism is simple:

Fasting depletes glucose stores → triggers ketone production → activates AMPK pathway → switches on autophagy genes → cells start recycling damaged proteins and organelles.

Your body literally reprograms itself for cellular renewal.

Now, here's how to implement it correctly:

He predicted:

• The Deep Learning revolution (2008)
• The online education boom (2011)
• China's massive AI dominance (2014)

Now Andrew Ng revealed 5 opportunities that will create more millionaires than anything before.

Here's what you should know (& how to prepare): 🧵

First, his track record:

Ng built Google Brain. Co-founded Coursera. Led Baidu's AI.

He's trained 8 million students and has $370M backing his AI Fund.

When Ng makes predictions, Silicon Valley listens.

1/ Agentic AI beats scaling models

The agentic AI market explodes from $5.1B to $69B by 2032.

That's 13x growth in 7 years.

Meanwhile, everyone's chasing bigger models that cost billions.

Ng proved something revolutionary:
