JPM is partnering with Coinbase. Cue everyone losing their minds. Here's what's really happening. - As of today: You can't use JPM a credit card to buy crypto - From 2026 that's still true UNLESS its with Coinbase - And users will have the option to convert points into USDC on Base

And this is why Ray Dalio is saying allocate 15% to Bitcoin

Rumor doing the rounds: "Cursor does $0.10 of revenue for every $1 of cost" That could be way off, but if it's even half-way true, wow, are we in for an AI-bubble reckoning at some point. (not substantiated, I'm just some guy on the internet, DYOR)

Shout out to @shuamp who discovered an Easter Egg in this week's Fintech Brainfood. First to do it. Half an hour of my time is yours whenever its useful or helpful.

Fun fintech fact - There's a weird union of the left leaning pro Fintech world of Open Finance (pro CFPB - 1033) - And the right leaning crypto world (anti Chokepoint 2.0) Watching this is like a wedding where Darth Vader and Yoda both hate the groom and want to intervene 🙈

They're going after the Sith lord directly

The largest IPO of the year is a company that holds crypto That's all it does. Weird things are happening again. Hold on to your seats.

We should celebrate private companies in Europe more. Eg LIDL With stock markets fragmented into little countries the incentive of going public is smaller. But eg Lidl (Schwarz Group) has comparable revenue($180B) to Home Depot($170B), has profit($16B) comparable of Walmart ($19B), and a customer follower that could qualify them as religion. I got AC in my office so i never understood the meme as much but yea AC is good. But shittalking Europe on retail where we are worldclass is crazy. Lidl and Aldi alone will roll up the US. H&M and Zara already did years ago. Imho: Every US person will join the religion. They already did with trader joe which is Aldi undercover. Lidl is the purified cleaner version of that. I don’t want to talk about it too much to avoid an euphoric recall reaction.
