Hong Kong is launching a new gold clearing system. Central banks are buying gold. China continues expanding yuan-based trade infrastructure. @ASchectman tells @MichelleMakori this is about far more than bullion trading. He argues we’re watching the construction of an alternative financial architecture built around gold, BRICS payment rails, mBridge, CIPS, and offshore yuan convertibility. “This is the beginning of a physical gold settlement outside of Western control.” Watch the full episode of The Real Story with Michelle Makori: youtube.com/watch?v=IMCUgG…

Godfather of AI: "If you sleep well tonight, you may not have understood this lecture." This 47-minute lecture is the best thing I saw about AI in the last few months. It will definitely help you understand how it actually works and where it's going. Geoffrey Hinton built the neural networks behind every AI alive, then quit Google to warn the world about it. The part nobody wanted to hear: > AI is already developing abilities its creators didn't intend > in most cognitive tasks it's already ahead of us > the question is no longer if it surpasses us but when > the only decision left is which side of that line you're on Right now the average person opens Claude, types something, gets an answer, closes the tab. They think they're using AI. they're using maybe 10% of it. I went through his entire lecture, built a practical system from what he was describing. 18 steps to actually use Claude the right way, with copy-paste prompts that work today. Full guide in the post below.

.@Scaramucci rapid fire: - Markets by year-end? - Most misunderstood asset? - AI: bigger opportunity or bigger risk? - One skill young people must learn? Scaramucci also explains why he owns gold & why gold could go “exponential” if confidence in the dollar weakens. Full conversation with @MichelleMakori: youtube.com/watch?v=BICvnr…

When tokenized economies, real world assets, and global payments fully migrate to digital rails, value won’t be scattered, it’ll concentrate, just as it did when the dollar became the world’s reserve currency. XRP was architected to sit at the center of that consolidation as the neutral bridge asset for global liquidity and settlement. That’s why the price must be significantly higher. For XRP to efficiently handle trillions in daily cross-border value flows without massive slippage and market disruption, its unit price needs to be high enough that only a small number of tokens are required to move enormous amounts of money. So a higher price creates the necessary depth and efficiency for institutional-scale liquidity. That’s liquidity mathematics under constrained supply and exploding demand. At $5 or even $50, XRP can’t achieve its own objective to function as the primary settlement layer for a tokenized global economy. The math will demand a much higher price for it to operate at the scale it was designed for. That’s the real utility thesis most people still don’t seem to understand. At this point, it’s clear most people won’t understand it until it’s too late.

You can now type this into Claude: "Pull my latest Granola meeting and turn it into a 60-second HeyGen video." Claude pulls the meeting from Granola, drafts the script, hands it to HeyGen for rendering, and gives you back a finished video. All from one prompt. One of the coolest things I've seen built with MCP so far.

How to go from zero to Claude pro user in 20 mins: (no coding, no $200 course, just this): 1. Claude is a chatbot by Anthropic. New Opus 4.7 just dropped (their best model yet). It reads 200-page PDFs without losing track. ChatGPT still wins on image generation. I run both. 2. Sign up at claude .ai in 2 minutes. Email plus password. The free plan gives you 2 weeks to figure out if Claude is for you. Open another tab right now or you won't. 3. The desktop app is where Claude gets useful. Same login as the browser. But now it reads files on your computer & you get Cowork mode. Stay in the browser to use 10% of what you pay for. 4. Cowork is the part 90% of users never touch. Point it at a folder. Type one sentence. Walk away. Come back to cleaned files, drafted emails, & a spreadsheet sitting on your desktop. 5. Start on Pro at $20 a month. Pay monthly. Most users stick with Pro. Max ($100) is for people running Cowork on long tasks every day. Give yourself 30 days. If you haven't reached for Claude by week 3, cancel. You're out $20. 6. Be specific or you get slop. "Write me an email" gives you generic mush. Paste 3 things you wrote and say "write like this." Examples beat instructions almost every time. 7. Tokens are how Claude counts what you feed it. A page is roughly 500 tokens. Each chat has a cap. If it starts acting weird mid-chat, the memory's full. Open a new chat. Paste the brief. Keep going. 8. Claude shines on long, messy work. First drafts in your voice if you give it 3 examples. Decisions you want to think through with someone who's read everything. 9: Claude has real gaps. Real-time news belongs to Grok. Image generation still favors ChatGPT. Precise math? Ask Claude to write the code that calculates the answer. And anything Claude tells you about facts, dates, or quotes, verify it. 10: Pick 3 things to try this week. Rewrite a LinkedIn post in your own voice. Point Cowork at any folder & ask what's there. By Friday you'll know if Claude is worth the $20. ----- To download all of my Claude infographics: Step 1. Go to how-to-ai.guide Step 2. Subscribe for free. Don't pay anything. Step 3.

🇺🇲The New York Stock Exchange recognizing XRP as a digital commodity isn’t just a label — it’s a shift in how the market sees it. This moves #XRP closer to the same conversation as Bitcoin and other commodity-class assets, strengthening its position in institutional finance. Clarity attracts capital. And capital follows classification. The narrative is evolving — from speculation to infrastructure.
