🚨 Elon Musk Drops a Bomb: Grok 5 to Challenge LoL’s Strongest Team — T1 & Faker Say YES!
Musk announced that Grok 5 will battle world champions T1 in 2026, and T1 instantly replied: “We’re ready.”
🔥 Human-Limit Mode Activated
To keep things fair, Musk imposed two strict caps:
Camera-only vision, capped at human 20/20
Reaction speed & clicks locked to human levels
Grok 5 must fight without superhuman advantages — pure game understanding vs. the world’s best.
🏆 Deep Blue vs. Faker 2.0
Media call it a modern version of Kasparov’s showdown.
💬 Fans: “Faker Is Humanity’s Final Defense!”
Some doubt an AI can ever be “fair,” while others hope for wild, meta-breaking strategies.

🔥 BREAKING: Bitcoin Can Run Without the Internet!
A real experiment proved BTC can survive offline — even using natural radio waves. 🌩📡
⚡️ Insane 2019 Test
Developer Rodolfo Novak sent a Bitcoin transaction from Canada to San Francisco using:
❌ No internet
❌ No satellite
✔️ Only ham radio + ionosphere reflection
Nick Szabo called it:
“A cross-border Bitcoin transaction powered by nature.”
🛰 Bitcoin Doesn’t Care How Data Travels
Satellite (Blockstream): get full blockchain with zero internet
Mesh networks: offline device → hop → hop → online node
LoRa: works during blackouts or disasters, up to 10 km
Shortwave radio: send BTC like Morse code
If it can transmit a tiny message, Bitcoin can live on it.
🌐 Even Global Internet Outage?
Bitcoin keeps running regionally.
When networks reconnect, nodes auto-switch to the chain with the most work — no central authority needed.
Traditional finance collapses under outages.
Bitcoin self-heals and stays unstoppable.

🚀 Taiwan’s National Stablecoin Team Is Coming
Taiwan’s first regulated stablecoin may launch in H2 2026, as the Virtual Asset Service Act nears final approval. After the main law passes, the FSC will complete 8 sub-regulations within six months, with banks leading the initial issuance.
🏦 Banks First for Safety
The law doesn’t block private issuers, but early-stage issuance will be limited to banks to control systemic risks.
💱 USD or TWD Peg?
Regulators must choose between:
USD-peg: avoids Taiwan’s strict NT cross-border restrictions.
TWD-peg: supports domestic payments and digital sovereignty but challenges FX controls.
🌍 Bitcoin as a National Reserve?
A lawmaker suggested evaluating Bitcoin for national reserves and requested updates on BTC seized in criminal cases.
📌 Summary
