Bitdeer Technologies posted stellar Q3 results, with revenue leaping 173% year-over-year to $169.7 million and self-mined Bitcoin output doubling to 1,109 BTC as hashrate hit 41.2 EH/s. Mass production of the highly efficient SEALMINER A3 has begun, while the next-generation A4 chip promises 6-7 J/TH performance. The firm is aggressively expanding into AI and high-performance computing, securing cloud sites in Norway, Tennessee, Washington, and Malaysia, plus a major colocation push in Ohio. Haris Basit, Chief Strategy Officer, told The Mining Pod, “We’re doing fantastic in terms of the mining capacity and increasing our self mining, developing new mining rigs at the leading edge of efficiency.” Despite minor delays from an innovative chip design and a limited facility fire, Bitdeer continues rapid global build-out across hydro-rich Bhutan, self-powered Alberta, and beyond.

In a compelling Substack essay, BowTied Bull argues that life’s true challenge is not discovering rare talent but outlasting attrition through relentless consistency and strategic life design. Most people stagnate by chasing momentary feelings, ending decades with minimal autonomy or wealth, while winners compound advantages by optimizing autonomy via performance-based income and multiple streams, preserving energy through disciplined health, and curating uplifting ecosystems. The author advocates structuring existence in focused 3-5 year sprints on major goals like building recurring online revenue, rejecting mediocrity in careers or relationships, and applying a “regret filter” to balance intense work with age-appropriate experiences. “Compounding is heavily overestimated in a single year, and drastically underestimated over 10 years,” BowTied Bull writes, urging readers to aim for full time freedom and portable high-income skills by 40-45. The framework empowers individuals to seize control amid accelerating technological change.

In a comprehensive primer, ARK Invest analyst Raye Hadi demystifies stablecoins as blockchain-issued tokens pegged typically to the US dollar, blending fiat stability with digital efficiency to enable seamless global payments, remittances, and DeFi participation. These instruments, backed by reserves ranging from fiat holdings to multi-collateral or synthetic models, empower users in dollar-scarce regions with accessible financial sovereignty while bridging traditional institutions toward modern rails. Hadi classifies stablecoins by claim type, assets granting direct ownership or debt-like contractual obligations, and reviews past stresses like USDC’s 2023 depeg amid bank failures and Terra’s collapse, underscoring design’s role in resilience. “Stablecoins are at the intersection of [crypto and traditional finance] convergence,” Hadi writes, highlighting their potential to streamline value transfer on unified ledgers. As adoption surges in emerging markets, this evolving architecture aspires for greater financial inclusion and innovation.

Harvard University’s endowment has emerged as holding the largest public position in Bitcoin through its substantial investment in the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF ($IBIT), marking a striking evolution from skepticism to institutional embrace of the digital asset. According to Jacob Shapiro in Intersubjectively Transmissible, this indirect exposure via ETFs, mirrored by institutions like Brown and Emory universities as well as state pensions, reflects growing recognition of Bitcoin’s role amid shifting monetary dynamics and fiscal pressures. Yet, Shapiro argues this approach sacrifices true ownership: “An ETF gives you the price chart, but none of the qualities that make Bitcoin worth holding in the first place.” He advocates direct custody models for genuine sovereignty and resilience, enabling endowments to secure Bitcoin’s core benefits as a finite, censorship-resistant store of value. This pivot signals broader acceptance, positioning forward-thinking institutions to thrive in an era of monetary innovation and geopolitical change, but requires ongoing education to truly understand the asset.
