🚨 Goldfinch is Officially Winding Down
A Goldfinch depositor exposes his major loss in Goldfinch, where over $50m across 8 loans resulted in 2 defaults and 6 restructurings; he recovered only 30% with little prospect of full return
Goldfinch has been heavily tied to microloans in emerging market funds in Africa/Asia
Days before his post, Goldfinch also proposed winding down the protocol and only keeping the legacy Goldfinch app running so users can still withdraw whatever is left

Revenue and the Onchain Future
Solana must prioritize fully onchain DeFi protocols because only they generate meaningful fee revenue, blockspace demand, and composable network effects that actually strengthen the chain’s economics
He believes amplification, funding, and support should be weighted toward teams building fully onchain solutions, especially perps, as this is the only sustainable path to turning Solana into a complete, compounding onchain financial system rather than repeating Ethereum’s fragmented L2 mistake

Succession After Subtraction
Former Ethereum Foundation coordinator examines the EF's "Subtraction" philosophy of deliberately reducing its influence to mature the ecosystem, arguing it succeeded in signaling non-centralization but struggled to redistribute concentrated legitimacy from brand trust, Vitalik's role, comms assets, and historical funding
Impending core protocol funding crisis driven by a shrinking EF treasury, the April 2026 end of the Client Incentive Program, and constrained voluntary sources, estimating $30M yearly is needed to retain expertise and deliver complex features amid risks like quantum threats

Post agent companies - Eyes on the end game
As digital agent labor becomes free and open-source, the ultimate winners will not be companies that sell software or charge for automated labor, but "post-agent" businesses that give away routine digital labor for free to capture what remains scarce: context, attention, brand, and trust
By utilizing digital workers to commoditize labor, these asset-light companies can rapidly build powerful network effects and aggregate attention, monetizing instead through transaction routing, marketplace clearinghouses, or advertising

Stablecoin remuneration on centralised exchanges
CEXes offer yields to stablecoin holders through either a reserve-based model (e.g., Coinbase/USDC) where payouts track traditional monetary policy rates, or an activity-based model (e.g., Binance/USDT) where yields are highly volatile and driven by crypto market trading and lending demand
Depending on which model dominates, wide stablecoin adoption could trigger boom-bust redemption cycles that impact sovereign and bank backing assets, while also altering monetary policy transmission by shifting funds away from bank deposits and money market funds

A Beginner's Guide to Robotics Hardware
A robot functions as a continuous closed-loop system where the physical body, movement actuators, and data-gathering sensors work together to constantly minimize positional errors
Using the open-source SO-101 robotic arm as a practical example, the guide highlights that precise mechanical design and accurate calibration are essential to bridge the gap between digital AI commands and physical reality

I know it sounds like a fantasy from here but my chances of building a billion dollar robotics company is higher than making 1 million being in this stupid industry.
There is a chance I end up building the Nvidia of Robotics for America.
I’m going to keep this post up so I can look back in 2-3 years from now and laugh if we actually end up hitting a billion dollar valuation for the robotics company I will be a part of.

Before It Was Obvious
Most founders quit prematurely after seeing crowded markets in AI, crypto, and tech, despite believing they could match successful founders like those behind Cursor
Recurring pattern in companies like Cursor, Stripe, Figma, and Shopify: identifying early secular shifts, holding non-consensus beliefs about future customer behavior, and building for power users years before markets mature
Practical advice includes deeply immersing in a space as a power user, targeting “hair on fire” problems with low switching-cost MVPs, prioritizing distribution alongside product, and persisting through early rejection to compound insights

Saylor is in the money on STRC and its simpler than you think
STRC is a coin-margined Bitcoin perp equivalent, where MicroStrategy uses its BTC holdings as collateral to maintain a leveraged long position on Bitcoin with predictable funding-like dividend payments
Frames MSTR as a Bitcoin trading hedge fund that speculates via leverage, with STRC holders providing the funding; the recent STRC price drop below $100 reflects reduced demand from lower BTC prices and competing fixed-income opportunities, shifting supply-demand dynamics
Soska recommends MSTR partially close its long by selling 30k-60k BTC and repurchasing STRC at a discount to lock in net gains, while capping future issuance, arguing this deleverages efficiently without needing unsustainable dividend hikes

The Ascent: Own the Substrate — A Map to 2045
The Civilizational Shift to Automated Production
• Human society is moving away from labor and energy-constrained economies toward an era of abundant intelligence, automated physical labor, and frontier expansion
• This shift structurally decouples economic output from human labor, meaning future wealth will belong to those who own the underlying infrastructure and raw substrates rather than those who sell labor or hold paper currency
The Resource Bottlenecks and the National Security Stack
• The rapid scaling of these technologies will collide with massive physical constraints, including grid capacity, electricity delivery, and critical mineral supply chains
• Because these bottlenecks are essential to national dominance, states will absorb and protect these industries as vital national security assets, creating a hybrid environment where governments de-risk the downside while commercial markets price the output
