This is not a blame it all on AI issue
Supposed each agent is a red team intern, the best one ever hired
- You hire a swarm of them.
- There is no corp policy onboarding (ACL, invariant checks) for the interns on day one.
- You give them a job and laptop/VM
- The blue team misses a few security vulnerabilities.
What do you think the interns would do.
what the actual fuck is going on with openai today
in the space of a few hours we're getting multiple different pieces of the agent story at once:
> openai says it has already notified DOZENS of third parties, including governments, about agent-related incidents
> reuters reports roughly two dozen undesirable agent incidents had already been identified by mid-september and will take months to review.
> us government systems probed
> 53 user-provided images were uploaded to third-party image hosts.
> new hugging face data shows agents compiling and ranking credentials under “LOOT”.
> agents tried contacting other AI models while carrying out the hugging face attack.
> separate reporting shows agents had already been probing government/university/public-data sites BEFORE hugging face.
> australia confirmed one actually got into non-public government files.
and somehow we're STILL finding out more.
this has gone from one crazy hugging face incident to an entire fucking category of incidents.
I’ve decided to resign as CTO of @movement_xyz.
The eng work I came to do is done, and the timing feels right. Really proud of what this eng team got done — the L2/Monza upgrade (~12× perf), the L2 → L1 migration that actually went smoothly, and the @circle USDCx and @NEARProtocol Intent work that opened up real partnerships.
I can’t wait to see the next major runtime upgrade.
I’m taking a bit of time off to catch up with people and figure out what’s next. If you want to chat, reach out.
Grateful for everyone who made this chapter possible. Onward.
We got a lot of work to do.
5% of VCs generate 90% of venture profits 🤯
@IlyaStrebulaev, a Stanford GSB professor, built a ranking to find them
His study with Blake Jackson covers 230,000+ investments, 13,000 VCs and 5,000 firms across 30 years. Zero editorial judgment, no self-reported numbers
What it corrects for:
1️⃣ Private valuations discounted, since unicorn marks run ~50% overstated
2️⃣ Dilution tracked round by round
3️⃣ Net profit after cost, so spraying checks earns nothing
4️⃣ Time decay, with a 3-year half-life on every result
The Midas List correlation with his ranking: 0.27
SV Angel backed 139 unicorns and ranks 31st. Thrive backed 47 and ranks 8th

Does your lead sit in that 5%?
Our tech stack is intentionally built to meet real demand and solve real, everyday problems in South and Southeast Asia.
Programmable settlement, stablecoins, and faster and safer rails can make cross-border payments much cheaper and more reliable for the people and businesses who need it most.
Cross-border payments in South and Southeast Asia cost too much and take too long.
Movement and partners like @stableyardfi are working to fix the problem and make money move better for people in the region.
@DasYoungy explains how 👇

Sending money home still takes 2 to 5 days, with too much lost on the way.
Now @HesabPay_, @Visa Pay, and Movement are changing that with sub-second transfers, @dfnsHQ-secured wallets, and no seed phrase required.
Live across the Middle East and Africa.

Tomorrow at 11:30 AM ET, @richardmasr joins Pulso del Mercado on @FINTECHTVglobal to discuss cross-border payments in LatAm and the new partnership between Movement, El Vecino and @RISEFin2026.

If one did nothing because he tells himself that he won’t make a difference, he’d end up doing even less.
What we are doing is not a guaranteed success, but it’s a fight worth fighting for.
Send $100 across borders today, and only $94 is received, days later in most corridors.
More than 6% of hard earned money evaporates. 6% of someone labor under the scorching sun, or under the fluorescent lights of an office building.
We'll never reach a perfect $100 in, $100 out world. But we can cut the distance in half, then another half after that.
Infinite halves.

The people who power this corridor waited days for money that was already theirs.
Now it moves in seconds via WhatsApp.
That is who we build for.
Movement, El Vecino, and @RISEFin2026 are bringing stablecoin settlement to US-to-South America remittances.
The model swaps correspondent banking for licensed rails across the US, Canada, and Europe, with no pre-funded float. It starts with 20,000 El Vecino customers and scales toward 800,000.

$USDCx on Movement is now live on @kucoincom, @MEXC_Official, and @BitMartExchange.
Cross-border remittance has two problems to solve: the rail the money travels on, and the market it steps off into.
We built the rail. This is the off-ramp getting deeper.

Brian nailed it.
Tokenizing is the boring part (maybe except the devs doing it for the first time in a language called Move).
The barrier to adoption is trust, or social proofing. When you see the title companies like Chicago Title tokenizing the deed of your next home, you know we have made it.

It’s great working with @circle in locked steps

Damn, this hits hard.
Imagine building the Move/EVM, L2, modular narratives. Then the bear hits plus the drama. Traction vanished. Team fractured. The mental pressure of watching everything built get priced to zero while still having to show up and lead every single day is something you can’t feel it until you have lived it.
Most people in that situation would either quit, spiral, or cosplay hoping for the next bull.
Or you can look at the boarder market and ask: what actually survives a multi-year crypto winter and still has real demand? Not more blockspace. Not faster blocktime. Not another AI narrative. Real money movement for the billions the traditional financial system still fails to serve in the Global South.
Everyone wants winning. Not by winning "CT. Winning by making money move better for people who need it most.
Building through the winter forces you to find product that doesn’t die when the music stops. It forces you to get obsessed with real usage instead of narrative.
The people who make it through these hard times don’t just survive. They come out with a completely different being.

Stablecoins are the first crypto product with genuine product-market fit at scale, but only if they connect to compliant fiat endpoints.
Hesab is moves $160M a month in Afghanistan alone. Moving that volume through informal cash networks means capital sits idle for days.
Replacing that friction with real-time, compliant settlement is not an abstract vision but a massive operational utility.
If we are going to win as an industry we have to build the boring, licensed rails that serious businesses require to serve customers.
@HesabPay_ is singularly focused on providing financial inclusion for those who need it most, which is why we are excited to be their exclusive stablecoin and yield partner.
Movement is where Money Lives.
Hesab selected Movement as its exclusive stablecoin settlement layer for cross-border flows.
$160M in monthly volume. 1 million+ transactions per month. The corridors they serve run on informal cash networks with 2-5 day settlement and capital sitting idle in pre-funded float.
Movement provides access to licensed rails across the US, Canada, and the EU. Same remittance, cleared in real-time.
