Stablecoins are scaling here, I think, much faster than anyone would have expected,” she said. Read more

  • Ray Dalio warns Fed is stimulating the economy into a bubble
    Cointelegraph.com - 17:59 Nov 06, 2025
    Current fiscal and monetary policies will cause hard asset prices to rise, but both are signs of late-stage economic decay, Dalio said. The US Federal Reserve’s decision to ease monetary policy is inflating an economic bubble that could drive up the prices of hard assets, but also marks the final phase of a 75-year economic cycle, according to former hedge fund manager Ray Dalio. Typically, the Federal Reserve eases interest rates when economic activity is stagnating or declining, asset prices are falling, unemployment is high and credit dries up, as seen during the Great Depression of the 1930s or the 2008 financial crisis, Dalio wrote in an article posted to X on Wednesday. However, the Fed is now easing monetary policy at a time of low unemployment, economic growth and rising asset markets, Dalio wrote, which is typical of late-stage economies saddled with too much debt.  Read more

  • Bitcoin is finding grassroots strongholds across the US
    Cointelegraph.com - 14:48 Nov 06, 2025
    Across the United States, Bitcoin is gaining traction far from coastal tech hubs, driven by cultural alignment, local educators and emerging state-level legislation. One of the unsung realities of Bitcoin (BTC) adoption in the United States is that the most meaningful momentum isn’t always happening in major financial centers. While regulatory battles unfold in Washington and institutions accumulate on Wall Street, everyday Bitcoin use is quietly taking root in places few would expect, including the heart of Oklahoma. The latest episode of The Clear Crypto Podcast explores how Bitcoin has become part of daily life in middle America, while speaking with Matthew Moore, a broadcaster and educator who has emerged as one of Oklahoma’s most influential grassroots Bitcoin advocates. Moore explains that Bitcoin adoption in Oklahoma looks different from the stereotype of crypto as a coastal or tech-centric phenomenon.

  • Why AI sucks at freelance work and real-life tasks: AI Eye
    Cointelegraph.com - 14:13 Nov 06, 2025
    Researchers found AI is hopeless at most Upwork task, it gets the news wrong half the time — and humans crush AI on world model tests. AI Eye. AI agents cant complete 97% of tasks on Upwork to even a basic standard. Researchers at Scale AI and the Center for AI Safety got six different AI models to attempt 240 Upwork projects across categories, including writing, design and data analysis and then compared the results to the real freelancer. The overwhelming majority of the time, the AI models were unable to complete the tasks successfully, with the best AI model, Manus, completing just 2.5% of tasks and earning $1,810 out of $143,991 on offer. Claude Sonnet and Grok 4 managed to finish 2.1% of the tasks. While AI agents are good at simple and defined tasks like “generate a logo,” the research found they are bad at multi-step workflows, taking any initiative or using judgment. So they wont be causing mass unemployment for a while yet. This backs up research from August at MIT, which found that 95% of organizat...
