Stablecoin = Fracturedcoin If stablecoins are the future of money, the BIS reckons the future looks a bit rubbish

My take last June in @alphaville.ft.com : โ€œPalihapitiyaโ€™s real talent isnโ€™t Spacs or venture capital or even podcasting. Itโ€™s chutzpah. He has reframed his spectacular failures โ€” from which he has profited enormously โ€” as proof that he has learned the hard way.โ€œ www.ft.com/content/e859...

SpaceX: the final frontier of IPOs Can Elon Muskโ€™s moonshot deliver the mooted $1.75tn valuation?

SpaceX probably has revenues of less than $20bn and loses money after the merger with xAI, but is targeting a $1.75 TRILLION IPO.

So Alphaville got two experts to go through how Musk will probably try to pull off what could be the biggest bagholder operation in history. www.ft.com/content/5bf1...

Itโ€™s been a busy weekend for our fantastic global team of reporters and editors, partic our unmatched Tehran crew - so instead of doing a thread of various news items youโ€™ve missed, Iโ€™ll just leave you with this: proof that print is still alive and kicking in the 21st century. #buyapaper
