The vehicle is now a peripheral. The chip is the product.
AI5 tape-out confirmed. What nobody understands yet:
Tesla deleted the Image Signal Processor. Deleted the GPU. What remains is a half-reticle inference engine that ingests raw photons.
Not images. Photons.
The numbers: 40x faster in bottleneck operations. 8x raw compute. 9x memory. 144GB onboard. 250 watts.
SoftMax, the mathematical spine of every transformer model, ran in 40 emulation steps on AI4. On AI5, it executes natively in one.
This is not iteration. This is architectural extinction.
Samsung signed $16.5 billion through 2033 for AI6. Both fabs, Texas and Arizona, produce US silicon. Tesla is building chip independence while Nvidia sells to everyone.
The strategic trap nobody sees:
Cybercab launches 2026 on AI4. Volume AI5 arrives mid-2027. Eighteen months of exposure where the robotaxi runs on yesterday’s brain.
If the software team delivers unsupervised autonomy on constrained hardware, AI5 becomes a turbocharger.
If they fail, AI5 becomes a rescue mission that arrived late.
The 100GW thesis:
100 million vehicles. Each carrying 1kW of inference. Parked and plugged in, they form a distributed supercomputer larger than every data center on Earth combined.
Tesla is not building cars with chips.
Tesla is building chips that happen to move.
The age of software-defined mobility ends here. What follows is silicon-defined existence.
Waymo geofences cities. Tesla geofences physics.
Watch Q1 2026 silicon yields. Watch Cybercab disengagement rates. Watch the moment the car disappears and only the network remains.
The platform chip is real. The delay is real. The consequences are civilization-scale.
That means homes are more overpriced NOW than before the BIGGEST housing collapse in modern history.
And the craziest part?
– Wages haven’t kept up. – Mortgage rates are still elevated. – Inventory is tightening again. – And buyers are using more debt than ever to chase the top of the curve.
This is literally the opposite of bullish.
This is what a late cycle blowoff top looks like.
When prices detach from fundamentals for too long, one of two things happens:
1️⃣ Prices fall.
2️⃣ The entire economy pays the bill.
If home prices drop more than 40%, half of U.S. families will end up buried in debt they won’t be able to pay off for the next 20+ years.
History doesn’t lie, it repeats.
If you’re invested in real estate, thinking about buying, or exposed to the broader market… pay attention.
This chart is screaming louder than any analyst on CNBC.
But the thing is, you still have time to position yourself accordingly.
I called the last two market tops days before they happened, and I’ll do it again because that’s what i’m good at.
Bhutan has quietly taken a new step in digital finance.
The country launched TER, short for “Treasure” in Dzongkha, a token backed 1:1 by physical gold, issued through DK Bank and built on Solana for speed and transparency.
Each token represents real gold, merging traditional value with blockchain technology.
This move is part of Bhutan’s national tokenization push, signaling how smaller nations can experiment with regulated digital assets.
Bhutan also holds $500M+ in $BTC, showing its growing adoption of crypto and blockchain innovation.
Which country do you think will step up next and compete with Bhutan in sovereign digital assets, maybe 🇮🇳 India, or someone else?
PHONG LE: ARE BITCOIN COMPANIES BEING UNFAIRLY TARGETED?
Strategy CEO Phong Le says MSCI’s proposal to exclude companies holding over 50% of their balance sheet in Bitcoin would unfairly penalize Strategy and other $BTC treasury firms.
He compares it to removing Chevron for holding oil, Weyerhaeuser for wood, or Simon Property Group for real estate : none of which face exclusion. Strategy has formally challenged the proposal.
Morgan Stanley Capital International will announce its final decision
While you were sleeping, the economic map of Europe was being redrawn in Miami.
Not Brussels. Not Geneva. Miami.
Here is what just leaked:
The Trump administration has proposed that Wall Street tap $200 billion of frozen Russian sovereign assets to fund U.S. managed projects in Ukraine. Including a data center powered by a nuclear plant still under Russian military occupation.
Read that again.
American firms would invest in Russian Arctic oil drilling and rare earth extraction. Russian energy flows to Europe would be restored. U.S. companies would take 50% of reconstruction profits.
One European official who saw the documents said it plainly: “It is like Yalta.”
The 1945 conference where world powers carved up postwar Europe. Without Europeans in the room.
Eighty years later, history rhymes.
December 10, 2025: Zelensky held his first reconstruction meeting with Treasury Secretary Bessent, Jared Kushner, and BlackRock CEO Larry Fink.
December 18, 2025: The EU votes on whether to seize these same assets themselves.
Belgium holds $183 billion at Euroclear. Its Prime Minister calls the competing EU plan “fundamentally wrong” and warns Russian litigation could “mean bankruptcy for Belgium.”
The math is brutal:
Europe froze the money. America wants to spend it. Russia wants it back. Ukraine needs it to survive.
Four parties. One pot. Zero trust.
What you are witnessing is not a peace negotiation.
It is the largest sovereign wealth transfer negotiation in modern history.
The question is not whether Ukraine gets rebuilt.
The question is who owns the rebuild.
And who owns the rebuild owns the next fifty years of European energy, security, and sovereignty.
Rate cut odds for a 25 bps cut at today’s #FOMC are now 87.6%.
But here’s how $BTC performed after the last 4 FOMC meetings: • June 18: No cut: -6.36% • July 30: No cut: -5.62% • Sept 17: 25 bps cut: -8.10% • Oct 29: 25 bps cut: -12.04%
VOLATILITY always shows up when Powell does. Trade safe!
The US Congress just received a bill to kill the 76-year alliance that stopped World War III.
Rep. Thomas Massie dropped HR 6508 on December 9, 2025: withdraw America from NATO.
The numbers tell the real story.
Direct US cost: $800 million annually. Sixteen percent of a $4.9 billion common budget.
What that buys: Deterrence over 1 billion people. Zero Russian tanks crossing NATO borders since 1949. Zero great power wars in Europe for eight decades.
The math of collapse.
2019 House vote on NATO support: 357 to 22. Current bill cosponsors: zero. Passage probability: under ten percent.
But here is the fracture point no one sees.
The 2023 NDAA requires two-thirds Senate approval for withdrawal. The 2025 NDAA mandates 76,000 US troops remain in Europe. Congress is building walls around an alliance the executive branch keeps questioning.
Meanwhile, at The Hague in June 2025, NATO raised spending targets from two percent to five percent of GDP by 2035. All 32 allies now meet the baseline. The alliance is not weakening. It is hardening.
The paradox cuts deeper.
America spent $880 billion on defense in 2023. NATO’s entire common budget equals what the Pentagon spends in two days.
This is not about money. This is about whether America leads or retreats.
The bill will fail. The question it raises will not.
For seventy-six years, American power guaranteed European peace. The debate over whether that guarantee continues has now entered the congressional record.
History remembers the day the first cracks appeared.
BANKS JUST GOT THE GREEN LIGHT TO TRADE CRYPTO DIRECTLY!
The OCC officially confirmed that national banks can legally engage in “riskless principal” crypto transactions.
In plain English: a bank can buy #Bitcoin (or any crypto) from one customer and immediately sell it to another customer, acting as the middleman -- without ever holding the crypto on its own balance sheet (just like a broker).
This removes a massive gray area that has scared banks away for years. Expect a lot more traditional banks to start offering direct crypto trading to clients in 2026.
The merger of TradFi and crypto just hit warp speed
Since then.. I’ve watched the network evolve many times
Been there through its darkest moments..
Watched brilliant people come and go..
And sat through more rise and falls in price than I care to remember
I’ve seen the protocol questioned.. core beliefs challenged in private.. and hard decisions needing to be made
Watched the brightest minds of the ecosystem debate, clash and then spur each other on.. time and time again
Have seen Bittensor break, rebuild and then come back stronger.. every single time
Through all of it, one thing has always been clear to me..
#Bittensor is not a #crypto project
It’s a living, breathing organism that has been through more shit than people realise.. and supported by an unbelievable passionate group of smart, diverse and wonderful people
Every one unique.. with different personalities, different abilities, different capabilities, different expertise..
But all of them united by one thing.. to push #Bittensor forward
In the three years I've been a part of this movement and on the precipice of a huge milestone..
I've never been more certain, more passionate and more proud of where #Bittensor is today
