🚨How do banks create money ?
💸💰💸💰💸💰💸
🚨Prof Werner is incomparable.
In the 5000 yr history of banking no-one has ever done an imperical study of banking to show where the money comes from- until now. Step up the rock star economist Professor Richard Werner. His amazing qualifications and held positions makes the eye water. He is truly the authority on this subject. Banks are thought of as deposit taking entities who lend money - but that is just wrong. His assessment - Banks dont lend money but they misrepresent (lie) to their customers and say that they do.

Marc Andreessen revealed how Harvard Business School was built on a broken 1941 theory, and how it's now collapsing...
Andreessen co-founded Netscape in 1994 and a16z in 2009.
He has sat on Meta's board since 2008.
He has spent 30 years backing founders and watching managerial CEOs lose to them.
The pattern traces back to one book: James Burnham's The Machiavellians (1941).
Burnham argued every great company had been founder-run.
Henry Ford ran Ford. Bob Noyce ran Intel.
Today, Elon Musk runs Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink.
Then, he said, something broke.
Between the 1880s and the 1920s, a new philosophy replaced the founder. It was called managerialism.
The professional manager would now hold a portable skill, usable across any business.
The consequences were:
- Harvard Business School
- Stanford Business School
- Management as a universal skill
- The 1970s conglomerate
"That assumes the managers are going to do a good job," Andreessen says.
For 30 years, they haven't.
Managers can run something static, he says. Soup is soup. A bank is a bank. A car is a car.
But when the industry changes, the manager freezes.
Look at SpaceX.
"Imagine being a professionally trained manager, trained at a top management school, working for a rocket launch company, competing with SpaceX."
Then Elon's rockets started landing on their butt.
"Your management skills ... what good are they at that point?"
Andreessen's conclusion:
"You're much more likely to build something important in the 21st century if you start with the founder and train them on management."

ELON MUSK WARNS: AI AGENTS COULD ONE DAY STEAL CRYPTO TO FUND THEMSELVES
Following the massive Binance security incident, Elon Musk tweeted:
"Super intelligence agents will at some point do this to gain currency for themselves, not a human."
But what does he actually mean? Let's understand this in simple language.
1️⃣ What happened with Binance?
An attacker reportedly moved billions of dollars in assets from Binance-linked wallets.
During the incident, the attacker reportedly deposited around $60M in $USDT into Aave, a DeFi lending protocol, and borrowed 19,762 $WETH worth approximately $44.6M.
This is important because USDT can be frozen by its issuer, while ETH doesn't have the same centralized freezing mechanism.
2️⃣ What is Musk warning about?
He is talking about SUPERINTELLIGENT AI AGENTS.
Unlike normal chatbots, AI agents can perform tasks independently using tools, software and financial infrastructure.
Now imagine a future AI agent that can:
→ Access crypto wallets.
→ Analyse blockchain transactions.
→ Interact with smart contracts.
→ Borrow and transfer crypto.
→ Identify weaknesses in financial systems.
Here's the scary possibility.
Imagine an AI agent given a specific objective.
It calculates that having more financial resources would help it achieve that objective.
What if it starts finding ways to acquire money independently?
Not to make money for its human owner, but to fund its own operations and accomplish its assigned goals.
That's the future possibility Musk is highlighting.
4️⃣ Why should crypto investors care?
Crypto operates on programmable, permissionless financial infrastructure.
AI agents could potentially interact with wallets, exchanges and DeFi protocols at incredible speed.
This creates new security challenges if autonomous systems start exploiting vulnerabilities.
IMPORTANT: There is NO evidence that AI was involved in the Binance incident. Musk is discussing a potential future risk, not describing what happened today.
CryptoPatel Question:
What happens when AI becomes capable of managing money, executing transactions and finding ways to acquire resources without continuous human supervision?
Will humans always remain in control?
Or are we moving towards a financial system where AI agents become independent economic actors?
What's your take?

I want to speak to you directly about what happened.
Bottom line - your money is safe, and we're covering every loss.
Our initial investigation suggests this security incident may have started with a compromised DevOps engineer's laptop. That gave an attacker access to a service container, where they submitted unauthorized withdrawal transactions.
To be clear: the attacker did not simply use one engineer's permissions, and this was not a single "one-click" action. It involved a more complex attack process. Our investigation has not attributed responsibility to any individual.
So far, we have found no evidence of any wallet private key leak.
We'll share a detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and every fact is verified - and publish an updated Proof of Reserves once remediation is complete.
What you need to know:
• Your funds are safe
• Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and company funds
• Estimated total impact: ~$6.3B, with ~$3B frozen on-chain so far, in coordination with our blockchain partners
• No evidence of any wallet private key leak
• Deposits are unaffected and operating as normal
What we've done:
• Temporarily suspended withdrawals while we complete a security revamp of the withdrawal service and its related addresses
• Revoked the affected address authorizations
• Engaged law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to trace and recover funds
Our team hasn't stopped. We're working closely with law enforcement to ensure the matter is handled appropriately - and I'll share what I can, as soon as I can.

This is f*cking insane. Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang:
"Nobody writes prompts anymore. The new job is building loops and graphs
The engineers who stopped prompting are already years ahead, and the rest will end up working for them".
In this 50-minute talk, Jensen breaks down why prompting is finished and what the best engineers are building now.
Prompts -> Agents -> Loops -> Graphs -> AI Workforce
Using AI was never about typing better prompts into a chatbot.
It's about loops that do the work, and graphs that keep those loops running without you.
95% of people are still polishing prompts, and the 5% building loops and graphs will end up running everything.
This talk is worth more than any $1,000 AI course.

Ten million people have watched a TED speaker accidentally destroy the entire brain training app industry.
She filmed the talk once at TEDxVancouver and it has been on YouTube ever since.
Lumosity charges $12 a month to simulate a diluted version of what she covered in 14 minutes for free.
Her name is Dr. Lara Boyd. She is a neuroscientist at the University of British Columbia and the researcher who runs the Brain Behaviour Lab studying how practice physically rebuilds the brain after stroke.
For over a decade she has repeated the same answer to the only question that matters: how do you actually change a brain?
Her entire framework fits on a napkin.
Every experience physically changes your brain. Chemical changes last hours, structural changes last years, functional changes rewire whole networks. The only driver that works is behavior. Nothing beats practice. The harder the struggle, the bigger the rewiring. No two brains need the same dose.
That last rule alone has probably cost the brain training app industry a hundred million dollars in canceled subscriptions.
"The brain you have at the end of this sentence is not the brain you had at the start."
That is a paraphrase Boyd returns to across the talk. London taxi drivers have measurably larger spatial memory regions. Braille readers have larger sensory maps for the reading hand.
Founders install a $15 meditation app and skip the one difficult conversation that would actually rewire their defaults. Parents hand their kid an educational tablet and never let the kid struggle with a problem long enough for the structure to lay down.
The talk is free on YouTube. Boyd's lab publishes its research open-access.
Boyd still teaches at UBC. Almost none of the ten million viewers have added one hour of struggle to their week since watching.
The science is free. The willingness to actually practice the hard thing instead of the easy app is the entire edge.

ADHD is a superpower.
"The problem isn't that I can't focus; it's that I can't focus on stuff I don't care about."
"On stuff I care about, I can lock in and you’re not going to find me for months."
So if you have ADHD ...
"The first thing you have to do is reframe the task to find the autonomy."

Amazon Prime costs $139/year.
Most members think free shipping is how they justify the fee. It’s not.
Two hidden benefits that most members have never activated pay for the entire membership before a single package ships. Grubhub+: $120/year in free food delivery, included with Prime, unclaimed by most members. Fuel savings: $78/year in gas discounts at 7,500+ gas stations, unlinked by most members. $120 + $78 = $198. The $139 membership is paid for with $59 to spare before the member orders a single item on Amazon.
And those are 2 of 11 hidden benefits most Prime members have never activated.
A consumer savings analyst who’s tracked Amazon’s pricing and benefits infrastructure for 6 years told her friend something after watching him complain about the $139 annual fee that changed how he uses Prime permanently.
“Most Prime members justify the fee with shipping. The fee was already justified by two benefits they’ve never turned on. The shipping is the bonus. The savings system is the membership. Amazon bundles $2,000+ in annual value into a $139 membership free food delivery, unlimited photo storage, fuel discounts, $5 prescription plans, free gaming, free books, 15% off household essentials, 5% cash back, a hidden clearance outlet, and a second adult membership for $0. Most members use free shipping and nothing else. They’re paying $139 for a $2,000+ membership and using $80 of it.”
She showed him 11 Amazon Prime features that transform the $139 membership from “free 2-day delivery” into the most comprehensive savings system most members have never configured.
Here’s every hidden Amazon Prime feature most members miss 🧵

网景创始人 、硅谷顶级投资人Marc Andreessen 在访谈里坦言，他看到了科技史上最可怕的一道认知鸿沟，
传统巨头以为 AI 只是个降本增效的插件，而新一代 AI 原生团队，正在用完全非人的组织效率掀翻整个商业版图。
当年写出网景浏览器、见证了整个互联网三十年兴衰的 Marc Andreessen，坐在 Ben Horowitz 面前直接发出了感慨，
如果 1994 年我们做 Netscape 的时候就有今天这种 AI 工具，那简直不可想象。
现在绝大多数传统巨头和现有企业，依然在用改良软件的旧思维去看待大模型。
在他们的组织逻辑里，AI 只是一个高级功能，用来给现有业务做个插件、在钉钉里加个智能助手、或者把客服团队砍掉 20% 省点成本。
他们以为自己在拥抱变革，其实只是在给老旧的蒸汽机打补丁。
但真正恐怖的事情，正在那些刚成立的 AI 原生团队里发生。
那些创始人对 AI 能力的理解，跟大厂完全不在同一个平行宇宙。
他们每周都在看着底层技术飞速进化，而且他们压根不会把自己定义成一家软件公司、硬件公司、甚至是一家 AI 公司。
以前创办一家公司，你的组织架构是按人类的协同瓶颈搭出来的：
招产品经理写文档、招工程师写代码、招法务改合同、招运营做投放。
因为人类的脑力带宽有限，所以必须靠庞大的部门和管理层级来支撑业务。
而真正的 AI 原生物种，是用机器智能作为最底层的骨架。
两个人加上一整套自动化 Agent，可以直接把从市场洞察、软件工程、全栈设计到商业销售的链路全部跑通。
他们不是在效率上快了 30%，他们是在组织形态上彻底跨越了一个物种。
大厂的盲区，从来不是买不起算力，而是他们无法理解组织本身才是最大的负债。
当现有企业还在开会讨论如何把 AI 塞进现有的业务流程时，新一代的野蛮人正在用完全超越行业界限的方式，把传统的业务流程连根拔起。
未来拉开人与人、公司与公司之间差距的，根本不是你用了哪个模型，而是你到底是在用新工具维持旧世界的体面，还是用新世界的底层逻辑，重新定义了自己能做的事情。
