You are forced to wrangle wallet extensions, decipher long hexadecimal addresses, select networks, sign transactions, calculate unpredictable gas fees and repeat all of these because your transactions get stuck or fail.

Senator Lummis’ RISE Act may be a good start, but does it ask too much of doctors, lawyers and engineers — while shielding AI developers? Civil liability law doesn’t often make for great dinner-party conversation, but it can have an immense impact on the way emerging technologies like artificial intelligence evolve. If badly drawn, liability rules can create barriers to future innovation by exposing entrepreneurs — in this case, AI developers — to unnecessary legal risks. Or so argues US Senator Cynthia Lummis, who last week introduced the Responsible Innovation and Safe Expertise (RISE) Act of 2025. This bill seeks to protect AI developers from being sued in a civil court of law so that physicians, attorneys, engineers and other professionals “can understand what the AI can and cannot do before relying on it.” Read more -

A Florida man says a Denver-based crypto trading school and a fake exchange tricked him into handing over $860,000 through phony trade signals.

Adam Back says that since Strategy typically takes 16 to 18 months to double its Bitcoin per share, the premium on its stock is not "unreasonable.” Blockstream CEO Adam Back says Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MSTR) stock premium is within reason, considering how quickly the firm doubles its Bitcoin per share, which reduces risk for investors. “It turns out in the case of MicroStrategy it’s been 16 months, 18 months,” he told Bitcoin podcaster Stephan Livera at BTC Prague on Saturday, referring to the typical time it takes for Strategy to double its Bitcoin (BTC) per share, noting that the stock has traded at a 2x multiple “on and off.” “So you can see that that’s not an unreasonable premium,” he said. Back explained that if Strategy’s Bitcoin per share keeps growing at the same rate, after about a year and a half, investors “would be at an equivalent” of the market net asset value (mNAV) — meaning the stock price would align with the value of its underlying Bitcoin holdings.
