#Telegram founder arrested, TON ecosystem hit, can it continue to grow?#

On August 24, Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov was arrested in France and charged with more than a dozen counts. This caused the TON ecosystem, which was originally growing rapidly, to encounter changes. TON plummeted by 20% that day, and its ecosystem tokens also generally fell. TON TVL also fell by 40% in the past week. The Telegram community responded and expressed support for Durov. Musk also voiced his support. Can TON survive this and continue to grow?

🚨BITHUMB MADE 620,000 FAKE BITCOIN?! On Friday, a system glitch let Bithumb distribute 620,000 $BTC that never existed on the blockchain. The exchange only had 175 $BTC on its own books and 42,619 BTC for customers, yet its ledger treated fake coins as real. South Korean lawmakers call this a structural failure, not human error. Regulators are now launching on-site inspections and possible sanctions.

I'm not trading right now. Here's what I'm doing instead: • AI vibe-exploring crypto via APIs • Checking out MegaETH ecosystem • Following & researching ICOs. Not necessarily investing! • Reading blogs instead of doom scroll on X. x.com/DefiIgnas/status/2020441...

🚨 Billionaire investor Ron Baron explains the silent math destroying your wealth. Your money loses 4 to 5% of its purchasing power every single year. The economy grinds higher at roughly 2%. That is a relentless 7% headwind against you, annually. What that really means. Prices double every 10 to 12 years. Your savings are cut in half in real terms within about 15 years. Cash sitting idle is not safe, it is decaying. The system is structurally engineered to punish savers and force capital into risk just to survive.

Late is a feeling, not a metric. Adoption is still a distribution story: access rails, custody, compliance, and balance-sheet policy decide the slope, not social timelines. Bitcoin remains a monetary asset with tightening float and expanding allocators. #Bitcoin #BTCFi twitter.com/BTF_TBC/status/202...

Every app is about to become unusable, not because of bad UX, but because of AI agent spam. Your group chat? Flooded with 500 “helpful” agents summarizing things you didn’t ask for. Your marketplace? Bots negotiating with bots. Your comments? Scripts replying to scripts. Without proof-of-humanity, the internet becomes two AIs talking while humans watch. If you read this far, congrats — you’re probably human. (Bots don’t have the attention span.) gmars!

I strongly agree because till date, I've not really seen any successful ambassadorship program in this industry. One of the major problems projects face with these programs is the fact that the people applying are just applying because of whatever incentive the project has to offer Majority do not even know what the product is about talkless of knowing how to use it or convince another person to use it. Another mistake projects do while selecting ambassadors is the unnecessary need to announce they are scouting for ambassadors and their obsessions with influencers or big accounts who do not really care about them. I've actually been positioning myself as a creator-marketing personnel and one of the things I've promised to work on is to stop the announcement of ambassadorhip programs that will be incentivized with monthly payments and token allocations. If the ambassadorhip program will be genuine and filled with monthly incentives, then there's no need to make unnecessary announcements about it. The major work here is look into the current community and scout for some genuine creators who have been pushing the Product, look into the niche of whatever product we are building and see the creators who are actively contributing value to the discussions and topics in that niche. These are the people we will be reaching out to for ambassadorhip offers because they understand what our product is doing and they have the potential to onboard new folks to come use our products. These are the people who deserve to be paid either monthly or bi-monthly for the work they'll be doing for us. 5-10 genuine creators are enough for a genuine ambassadorhip program. But yeah, since most projects too never had genuine intentions towards their ambassadors, so they use those announcement posts to farm engagements and eventually hire just anybody that'll give them impressions with a false hope of getting token allocations at TGE. The whole hiring system in this space is broken and no one is willing to fix it at the moment.

most ambassador programs fail because no one knows what they’re talking about and no one has put in the effort to teach them.

This has nothing to do with whether Bithumb dumped its shares or whether there is any compensation. The fundamental problem is the trust mechanism of CEX! Why do I keep advising everyone to keep a portion of their Bitcoin in their own cold wallet? Because only your BTC is your BTC; anything that isn't your BTC isn't a BTC at all! Not your key Not your money $BTC Can you believe they can conjure up hundreds of thousands of BTC out of thin air?

Google is becoming incredibly strategic leveraging their “research” culture to drive value across AI. It’s strange @BharukaShraddha did not add their TPU and AI factories that bring margin and further speed plus lots of other strategic capabilities

Google isn’t trying to win the AI race. They’re trying to own the entire AI Agent ecosystem. While everyone argues ChatGPT vs Claude, Google quietly built: Models → Gemini Pro, Flash, Deep Think, Gemma Design → Stitch, Whisk, Imagen Research → NotebookLM, AI Mode Video

An interesting perspective. Here’s how I see where crypto is heading. ‘Being early’ scaled returns, not systems. Institutions don’t buy narratives. They buy structures. The next cycle isn’t about new tokens. It’s about who absorbs risk. Protection drives adoption. Not hype. How do you see it? A. Tokens evolve into structured products B. The early-game loop continues twitter.com/zolotokrylin/statu...

I looked into this. Org theory doesn’t translate well bc 1. Agents have very strong context and role switching vs humans, so specialisation is not necessary 2. Shared implicit org knowledge is weaker, but shared explicit knowledge is stronger “Swarms” makes more sense imo

I think agentic AI would work much better if people took lessons from organizational theory, which has actually spent a lot of time understanding how to deal with complex hierarchies, information limits, and spans of control. Right now most agentic AI systems seem to pretend

Not to be trite, but this is exactly the kind of title by exactly the kind of media that spells the end of the reset is nearing. This time would really have to be different for it to not be so.
