Cash App (owned by Block) just launched Pools, a group payment tool that lets even non-users chip in via Apple Pay or Google Pay. It’s their first big peer-to-peer move in 2 years.
🚨 Breaking News:
Cash App now supports out-of-network payments. Even if your friends don’t have the app, they can send money to a shared Pool.

Wall Street bull Tom Lee just scored a slam dunk. His ETF Granny Shots (GRNY) crossed $2 billion AUM in under 9 months. That’s wild, even in ETF land.
🚨 Breaking News:
GRNY is now a $2 billion fund, way ahead of schedule, and outperforming the S&P 500 by over 9 percent.
⚡Wire Simplified
GRNY holds around 35 high-quality US stocks like Robinhood and Oracle
It’s an actively managed ETF, not a passive one
Tom Lee focuses on long-term themes like AI, energy, and cybersecurity
“Granny Shot” means investing in stocks that fit multiple future-proof themes
GRNY is up 18 percent YTD, and investors love Tom Lee’s bold approach
✔️Straight to the Point
Tom Lee’s fund proves that personality-driven investing still works. Sometimes the underhanded shot wins the whole game.

I have it on good record that Meta and Zuck indeed offered $1 BILLION offers over 4 years to some of the Thinking Machines team.
This is the highest any individual contributor was paid in liquid compensation in tech history.

Buying assets, hard assets, before GPTs deflates our pay, and ownership becomes concentrated in the hands of the few, is like... getting on the last lifeboat off the Titanic.
