The guaranteed win bait

There are baits on Jesus’ return date, like
Will Jesus return before GTA?
Will Jesus return before 2027?

I’ve always wanted to bet against Jesus’ return, because if he does, money will be useless anyway.

Not financial advice. 😄

Vercel disclosed a security incident yesterday.

attacker compromised a third-party AI tool (Context.ai), used it to take over a Vercel employee's Google account, then accessed internal systems and env vars that weren't marked sensitive.

if you use Vercel, do this now:
- rotate any secret env var that wasn't marked sensitive
- check your activity log for anything weird
- review recent deployments

sensitive marked env vars were protected. everything else, assume it's exposed.

they also published an IOC if you want to check your Google Workspace:
110671459871-30f1spbu0hptbs60cb4vsmv79i7bbvqj.apps.googleusercontent.com

one small AI tool, full account takeover. supply chain attacks are getting scarier.

SpaceX x Cursor $60B Deal

Cursor just got 2 offers from SpaceX:
$60B to buy them outright, or $10B just for the partnership.

they were closing a $2B round. dropped it. Microsoft wanted in too but didn't go for it.

so now Cursor is plugged into xAI's compute. Elon wants a piece of the dev tools game. makes sense, OpenAI and Anthropic have been owning that space.

> best coding agent out there? Claude Code. if you got $100/mo and enough work to justify it, nothing beats it.
want the best balance of cost and efficiency? Cursor. and with xAI models coming native, it's only getting better.


this space is about to get way more competitive. good for all of us.

Binance is pulling ETB from P2P on May 15.

context the announcement leaves out: the National Bank of Ethiopia banned birr-paired P2P crypto trading back in February. Bybit already pulled out last year. Paxful is on life support. this isn't a one-off, it's a wipeout.

ባይናንስ በኢትዮጵያ ብር የሚደረጉ የክሪፕቶ ምንዛሬ ግብይቶችን ሊያቆም ነው።

የክሪፕቶ ምንዛሬ ግብይት መድረክ የሆነው ባይናንስ (Binance)፣ ከግንቦት 7 ቀን 2018 ዓ.ም ጀምሮ በኢትዮጵያ ብር የሚደረጉ የክሪፕቶ ግብይቶችን (P2P Trading) እንደሚያቆም አስታወቀ።

ባይናንስ አፍሪካ በኤክስ ማህበራዊ ገጹ ባወጣው መረጃ፣ ውሳኔው ከሀገሪቱ ተቆጣጣሪ አካላት ጋር በቅርበት ለመስራትና የኢትዮጵያን ግቦች ለመደገፍ ታሳቢ ተደርጎ የተወሰነ መሆኑን ገልጿል።

የተጠቃሚዎች ገንዘብ ግን ደኅንነቱ የተጠበቀ መሆኑንና አካውንታቸውን መጠቀም እንደሚችሉ ተቋሙ አረጋግጧል።

የኢትዮጵያ ብሔራዊ ባንክ ከሁለት ወራት በፊት በብር የሚደረጉ የክሪፕቶ (P2P) ግብይቶች ሕገ-ወጥ መሆናቸውንና የተከለከሉ መሆናቸውን በመጥቀስ ጥብቅ ማሳሰቢያ መስጠቱን ይታወሳል።

ባንኩ የካቲት 20 ቀን 2018 ዓ.ም ባወጣው መግለጫ፣ በማንኛውም መድረክ ሆነ የልውውጥ ማዕከል በብር የሚደረጉ የዲጂታል ሀብት ግብይቶች ያለ ባንኩ ፈቃድ በፍጹም የተከለከሉ መሆናቸውን አስታውቆ ነበር።

እገዳው ማንኛውንም በብር የሚሰላ የክሪፕቶ ከረንሲ ልውውጥን የሚያካትት መሆኑ በመግለጫው ላይ ተጠቅሷል።

ብሔራዊ ባንክ በአሁኑ ወቅት ደህንነቱ የተጠበቀ እና ሥርዓት ያለው የዲጂታል ፋይናንስ ተሳትፎ እንዲኖር የሚያስችል አጠቃላይ የቁጥጥር ማዕቀፍ ለማዘጋጀት ከዓለም አቀፍ አቻ ተቆጣጣሪዎችና ከአገር ውስጥ ባለድርሻ አካላት ጋር እየመከረ መሆኑን መግለጹም ይታወሳል።

ባይናንስ ዛሬ ባወጣው መግለጫም ሁኔታዎች ሲመቻቹ በኢትዮጵያ ብር ግብይቱን በድጋሚ ለመጀመር ተስፋ እንደሚያደርግ ገልጿል።

honestly still amazed Binance folded. they're huge, they could've pushed back. instead they walked.

NBE isn't wrong to act. the heavy P2P volume is mostly laundering, that needs cleaning up. freelancers are a smaller piece, and once the legal framework lands they'll get folded in through taxation, fair enough.

the real issue is sequencing. don't shut the off-ramp before the on-ramp exists. open the legal channels first, then enforce.
What i think will happen:
- USDT in birr dips while everyone panic-dumps before the deadline
- then it spikes once liquidity dries up post-May 15
- people rotate to OKX and whatever else still takes ETB
- those get shut too eventually

what to watch: the "comprehensive regulatory framework" NBE promised in February. licensed local exchanges plus a real taxation plan. just capital controls, parallel market goes deeper underground.

A2SV is shutting down today.

after 7 years bridging african talent to silicon valley, the funding ran out.

emre built this from zero. came to africa for a 3-month training trip and stayed 7 years. no profit motive, no salary, kept the lights on with his own savings when google cut funding. sold his pre-ipo stock at half price to push the mission another year.

i learned from emre. the energy this man carries transmits to anyone who talks to him. the mission was never about money, it was a belief that african talent just needed access. for ethiopians, this was the eye opener. as an a2svian, this one hurts.

it's not fully over. emre said if real funding shows up in the next few days, the mission continues. if you have money, donate. if you don't, get this in front of someone who does.
