Midnight walks to clear the head.

You do realize that artificial intelligence is already shaping decisions that affect every one of us, right?

🧿 Many people still think AI is just ChatGPT and other neural networks used only by enthusiasts. In reality, it's long been baked into the services we use every day.

Today, algorithms help banks assess borrowers, employers screen candidates, and marketplaces decide which products you see first. In many cases, it's AI that shapes the choice before a human even steps in.

And this is only the beginning. In just a few years, AI has become part of the world's digital infrastructure.

The next stage — our beloved AI agents. They won't just analyze information but will carry out tasks on their own: search for products, track price drops, complete purchases, book services, and interact with digital platforms in place of humans.

We're gradually approaching a moment when not only the way we use the internet will change, but the very model of how humans interact with the digital world.

😕 How the world is restricting access to social media

Just a few years ago, only one country wanted to ban social media for children. Today, more than 20 states are already introducing or discussing such measures.

Australia has banned social media for users under 16. The UK, France, Spain, Turkey and other countries are heading in the same direction.

The main argument — protecting children. Endless feeds, autoplay and push notifications are increasingly recognized as mechanisms that cause addiction.

But another question arises: how do you verify a user's age? Without identifying the person, it's impossible.

That's exactly why, alongside age restrictions, there's a growing trend toward mandatory user verification. If it holds, online anonymity will gradually become the exception rather than the rule.

☝ Our key partners just dropped two interesting updates at once.

On top of staking that works like a bank deposit with returns in dollars, there are now cards with Google & Apple Pay.

You can top up the card directly from a non-custodial wallet using Gram, Bitcoin, Solana and, of course, USDT. Transfers of USDT on BEP20 and TON have zero fees.

In effect, this is another step toward making digital assets just as convenient for everyday use as familiar banking services.

Every dictatorship is obsessed with one thing — control.

In ancient Rome, people were given bread and circuses — distracted with entertainment. Other dictatorships use other strategies to control ideas and knowledge.

How do they do it?
Poor education, restrictions on culture, censorship of information, censorship of any form of personal self-expression. And this is worth remembering. This pattern always repeats itself throughout history.
