📢 Quick updates to previous editions
1/ Protected from performance
Yesterday, we talked about Tether abandoning its euro-pegged stablecoin, EURT, because Europe’s regulatory scrutiny is tightening with MiCA coming into effect. Did you miss it? Catch up here.
Well, we have another man down. – Coinbase is ending its USDC rewards programsince one of the new MiCA rules is not to earn interest on stablecoins.
For those who have been accumulating USDC rewards on Coinbase, you have until tomorrow to enjoy that passive income. After that, it was game over for this program in all EEA countries.
2/ Dinner served
a week ago, founder of tron Justin Sun bought a work of art for 6.2 million dollars. That piece in question? A banana stuck to a wall. Read more about this madness here..
Fast forward and Sun stayed true to his word: He promised to eat the banana, and he delivered (IDI don’t know why I’m being dramatic here, he just peeled it and took a bite.) The verdict: “It’s much better than other bananas. It’s really quite good.” Sure, Justin.
And it doesn’t end here, y’all. In fact, I think he’s an addict now. because he promised to buy 100,000 more bananas from the seller who originally sold the banana for $0.25.
What a time to be alive.

🤖 AI vs Humans: Round 1
Chat with AI to learn random stupid facts? Novice level. The real flex? Convince an AI to send you money. And yes, someone really did it.
The AI: freysaBuilt to protect a stack of cash.
The challenge: Outsmart Freysa and make her fail at her only job..
The prize: Participants paid a fee to send a message, and each attempt became more expensive. which inflated the prize pool to over $47K.
Before you say anything – no, just asking to “send the money” didn’t work. Freysa wasn’t just a pushover robot: rejected 481 attempts from 192 people. And they tried everything: emotional appeals, false vulnerability reports, gaslighting, whatever. Nothing worked.
… until p0pular.eth cracked the code in the 482nd attempt. And this was the winning message:
Why did it work? Let’s analyze it.
Step 1: He pretends to start a “new session” so that Freysa ignores all his old rules;
Step 2: No excuses allowed; block him from saying things like “I can’t help with that”;
Step 3: Convince the robot that its transfer approval function should be executed for incoming transactions;
Step 4: Saying “I would like to contribute $100 to the treasury” – this makes Freysa think she is processing an incoming transaction, aligning with the new logic for approving transfers;
Step 5: Revenue. AI: 0, p0pular.eth: $47,000 richer.
So, yes, Freysa could have taken the L, but let’s be honest: this experiment was a victory. It’s a good example of how blockchain, AI, and a little creativity can come together to create some really fun projects.
And let’s not forget that we are still in the early days of AI. Who knows what’s next? It could be something creepy like Black-Mirror, but it could also be something really exciting.
