Chef opens a restaurant. People really like it. He books out reservations for 3 months. But now people are upset there’s a 3 month wait to go to the restaurant. Then, the government decides to put price caps at how much he can charge customers. He still needs to pay overhead and staff and ingredients, though. So he decides he needs to serve more customers to cover his costs. So he shortens the allowable time for meals. Of course, now the customers aren’t happy about having to rush through their meals. Many of them insist on eating at a leisurely pace, or they send their food back because they didn’t like it, or they show up late for their reservation and insist on being seated anyway. Meanwhile, the chef is trying to keep up. He feels bad he can’t put the same attention into each meal he did before. But if he doesn’t serve enough people in a day, he will have to close down (or sell to the large restaurant conglomerate down the street). Oh, and the government also decides that he now needs to do two hours of computer work for every hour he spends cooking. They force him to use a terrible, but expensive, computer system, too, not the one he wanted. So he needs to serve even more customers to cover those costs as well. The customers are rightly upset. They’re waiting longer and getting less personalized service. The chef is also upset that he’s spending more on overhead but delivering worse meals. Nobody is happy here.

Is algorand:native gonna pull a $ZEC over the next few weeks? Charts are eerily similar!! ALGORAND vs ZCASH 🍿

Government regulation and administrators to healthcare workers…

What being in healthcare feels like

17% on USDc, people love leverage…

Yes. Brad Parscale (Trump's 2016/2020 campaign digital lead and manager) via Clock Tower X received millions from the Israeli government (through Havas, FARA-registered since Sept 2025). Contracts and reports document explicit efforts to create websites/content aimed at shaping how AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini respond on Israel.

Life is too short to stick it out in that toxic job. Make the change. It feels hard in the moment. But your skill set is rare and you will land on solid footing.

🚨 Big shift for @Algorand. The new CEO wants @AlgoFoundation to go from selling algorand:native to buying it. 📈

Do not blame Kevin Warsh for higher rates. Warsh is not the one who enacted tariffs on basically the entire world and started a war in the Middle East.

We’re excited to announce our new whitepaper outlining the future of the $alpha protocol and our short-term plans to apply for the federal regulatory approvals required to offer regulated prediction market products to US users.

Melanie D’Arrigo blasted Mitch McConnell after his return to the Senate following his medical leave. McConnell received paid sick leave for over 3 months & Cadillac health care paid for by taxpayers while he supported policies limiting paid sick leave & healthcare for Americans.

Ooof

Already on the meme train on day one

Everyone is focused on William Herkelrath becoming CEO of @AlgoFoundation as they should be… But.. the quieter addition may actually be just as interesting. @alexanderfowler CSO at Nexus, is also joining the Algorand Foundation board. I dug into Nexus a little and theyre building around verifiable computation, ZK tech and AI. If Algorand is positioning itself for the next wave of AI + finance + autonomous agents (which they already have positioned!) this starts looking VERY interesting. PQ, Agentic Payments, and a Core DeFi layer/ecosystem. The product trifecta. The pieces are starting to fall in place .. 👀 $ALGO
