not all crypto rewards are created equal. when a platform advertises yield, i think the first thing to check is what holders actually receive and where that value comes from.
@RebateLaunch has an interesting approach to this.
instead of paying holder rewards in newly issued $rebate, eligible holders receive payouts in the pair asset. on robinhood chain, that's usdg.
the platform reports:
→ $28.5k distributed to holders.
→ 120,403 individual payouts.
→ rewards sent several times throughout the day.
→ no staking or manual claiming required.
but the reward distribution is only one part of the model.
rebate pad also uses a declining launch tax to address early sniping.
→ 99% during the initial stage.
→ 66% in the next stage.
→ 33% in the following stage.
these penalties go into a locked treasury that supports the buyer bonus mechanism.
separately, the 0.7% platform fee is used to buy $rebate from the market and burn it.
the reported cumulative burn has reached 35.3m tokens, representing 3.53% of the original 1 billion supply.
what makes this model worth examining is how several mechanisms connect:
✦ early launch activity contributes to the treasury.
✦ the treasury supports buyer bonuses.
✦ trading fees fund holder payouts and the $rebate buyback-and-burn mechanism.
my perspective is that paying rewards in the pair asset is an interesting distinction because holders aren't simply receiving more of the same token.
however, attractive payout numbers alone don't prove sustainable yield. trading volume, fee generation, treasury health and long-term user activity still matter.
i'd rather evaluate the source of rewards than focus only on the advertised percentage.
also, round 3 of the creator campaign closes november 17 at 22:00 utc.
the real question is whether rebate pad can maintain this economic cycle as adoption grows.

Some GOP pointed to Times... I doubt Times would release a good investigative journal as they have not for the last decade as they focused on cheap, easy albeit wellwrutten EDITORIALs.
FT and Economics is definitely a drainage for the target release of filth. The US leaks thru UK is definitely for legal reason as the UK media sits on
the Defence and Security Media Advisory (DSMA) Committee to use sovereign immunity on their hit list.
I doubt this is the case, they might have fucked up in this op: Georgetown, Columbia is the Goldmine. They first did it thru the US media: if it is false accusation, they are going to be fucking sued but the richest man.

President Trump says, "China and these people, they copy. They pirate so much. Here's a chip [NVIDIA] that's so complex, so brilliant, that you can't copy it." 🇺🇸 🇨🇳
China’s industrial model is organized around copying, pirating, and theft of Western intellectual property is simply the truth of the last forty years of global economic history, and saying it plainly used to be considered too impolite.
Chinese technology sector was built on American or allied technology acquired through joint ventures, state directed cyber theft, academic infiltration, or outright corporate espionage.

Microsoft ha perdido el control de sus servidores hace 15 horas. Aun no los recupera. El impacto global es enorme: la caída ha afectado operaciones empresariales, aerolíneas internacionales, escuelas, tribunales y oficinas gubernamentales en América, Europa, Asia y Oceanía (con reportes masivos de impacto económico en países como Australia y Taiwán).
Esto es solo el comienzo. El ensayo. Lo que tienen preparado será el verdadero infierno en la tierra.

SpaceX has just unveiled a massive new $50 billion Supercomputing Campus that they want to build in Cochise County, Arizona.
All info:
• Up to 6 GW across the 9 supercomputing buildings
• Construction starts 2027
• Size of each supercomputing building: ~493,000 square feet.
• Total supercomputing building space: 4.44 million square feet, excluding support facilities.
• SSVEC residential customers are projected to see electricity bill reductions of 10–40%.
• Up to 24 GWh of grid-connected battery storage to provide backup power, stabilize the regional electric grid, support local voltage, and absorb fluctuations in electricity demand. Among the largest planned battery installations in the United States.
• Additional solar generation in the region is planned to supply renewable electricity during the day and reduce demand on the local grid.
• No dedicated on-site power plant or fuel storage yard is planned.
• Each supercomputing building will have 10 MW of natural-gas-powered standby generation for critical equipment, operating only during utility outages and periodic testing.
• No gas turbines will be installed at the site.
• SpaceX plans to fund $3.6 billion in grid infrastructure upgrades, transferred to AEPCO at no cost to its members.
• Up to $260 million annually in additional benefits for cooperative members at full buildout, on top of residential bill reductions.
• Up to $200 million annually for cooperative members statewide, in addition to SSVEC benefits.
• The supercomputers will use dry cooling with a closed-loop water circulation system rather than evaporative cooling.
• SpaceX projects zero ongoing industrial water consumption.
• The cooling system will be filled initially, with water reused for up to 10 years.
• SpaceX estimates annual water usage equivalent to approximately 20–30 Arizona residential homes.
• Projected annual water use would be less than 2.5% of a single center-pivot irrigation system's annual consumption.
• Permanent jobs: Approximately 1,000.
• Construction jobs: Approximately 5,500.
• Annual property tax revenue: Up to $103 million in estimated new annual revenue.
• Regional economic benefits: SpaceX says its investment will support public education, infrastructure, essential local services, and economic development.
• Local suppliers: SpaceX is encouraging suppliers to participate in construction and development of the campus.
• Noise mitigation: Equipment will be positioned away from neighboring properties where possible, with setbacks and additional screening to reduce noise.
• Nighttime lighting: Outdoor lighting will remain off unless work is underway, with active lights shielded and directed downward.
• Dark-sky protection: The campus will comply with Cochise County's dark-sky requirements to limit light pollution.
• Nighttime construction: SpaceX says it will seek waivers when nighttime construction lighting is necessary.
• Wildlife protection: The campus is being designed with consideration for the region's sandhill crane wintering habitat.
This campus's purpose is to build one of the world's most advanced AI supercomputing campuses to train SpaceX's superintelligence models and support scientific and engineering breakthroughs.

overheard from friends talking about AI in China, and it’s very alarming
- AI short films went massive in China market because of how good the video models are now
- the first wave of people who mastered using AI to generate short films and comics made quite some money because they could produce a lot more content than traditional workflows
- but within just a few months, everybody and their mom could make equally good short films because all the expertise could be written in a markdown file
- when everyone’s more productive, no one actually has an advantage and it’s a race to the bottom. very quickly it became impossible to make money, and everyone’s busier than they were without AI
- the only one making money now is companies like bytedance who owns user demand and distribution. they sell ads to creators who pay to get traffic, and eventually ad spend became 80% of those creators’ operating expense, while AI tokens is less than 5%
so what are the problems here?
1. there’s no moat if you are creating anything with AI
if a human is really good at something, and it’s hard to find more humans who can do the same, they can leverage the scarcity of their skill to get paid very well
but if AI is good at something, it will be infinitely replicated, so there’s no scarcity hence you can’t really expect a sustainable business by creating anything with AI
2. more creators created more content people actually liked. that’s a good thing
but the economical benefit of that all got absorbed by the distribution platforms
there’s a famous chinese poem 遍身罗绮者,不是养蚕人 - it basically says people who dress well aren’t the people making dresses. that’s exactly what’s happening here
if our society doesn’t figure out a better way to distribute wealth, AI will help billionaires become trillionaires while average people become more exhausted than ever

We need a name for this new paradox: the more bullshit in your job, the safer your job. That's the rule for the transition ahead of us, and math fell first because it had the least.
Meanwhile, a Nobel laureate in economics forecasts that AI will replace only about 5% of human work within ten years (he called it a guesstimate). Nobody can falsify it before 2034. Until then, his job is safe :) (his forecast 👇)
