Truth Social 是由美国总统唐纳德・特朗普及其家族持有多数股权的社交媒体平台,该平台正推出一项基于加密货币的博彩服务,将与广受欢迎的 Polymarket 展开直接竞争。

这项名为「Truth Predict」的新服务,将允许 Truth Social 用户以加密货币为投注本金,对特定事件的结果进行预测,涵盖体育比赛、政治竞选乃至经济变动等领域。Truth Social 由上市公司特朗普媒体与科技集团(Trump Media & Technology Group,TMTG)运营。

通常,单个预测会以二元问题的形式呈现,例如:「泰勒・斯威夫特(Taylor Swift)会在 10 月 2 日前发行新的原创歌曲吗?」或「巴塞罗那会赢得欧洲冠军联赛吗?」

2024 年美国大选前夕,预测市场首次进入主流视野。其支持者称,这类市场是传统民意调查的更优替代方案,是更高效的「真相来源」。

特朗普媒体与科技集团首席执行官 Devin Nunes 在一份声明中表示:「通过 Truth Predict,我们正在推动信息民主化,让美国民众能够借助群体智慧,将言论自由转化为可行动的前瞻性判断。」

Truth Predict 是与加密货币交易所 Crypto.com 的关联机构合作推出的。目前,预测市场领域主要由 Polymarket 和 Kalshi 主导,这两家公司近期均以数十亿美元的高估值完成了融资。

Truth Predict 推出之际,Polymarket 正计划重返美国市场 —— 此前在乔・拜登执政期间,该平台曾被迫退出美国。2022 年,美国监管机构商品期货交易委员会(CFTC)指控 Polymarket 运营未注册的衍生品交易市场,Polymarket 与该机构达成和解,退出美国市场成为和解条件之一。

2024 年 11 月,Polymarket 首席执行官 Shayne Coplan 的住所遭到美国联邦调查局(FBI)突袭。美国司法部(DOJ)当时正调查该平台是否违反和解协议中的禁令,持续接受美国居民的投注(Coplan 未被逮捕或指控)。

2025 年 1 月特朗普重返白宫后,情况发生了变化。在特朗普政府执政下,监管机构已停止对知名加密货币公司的诉讼,司法部也指示检察官对部分加密货币相关犯罪「睁一只眼闭一只眼」。

同年 7 月,彭博社报道称,司法部已结束对 Polymarket 的调查,且未提起任何指控,为该公司重返美国市场扫清了障碍。

加密货币初创公司 Sarcophagus 的创始人 Zach Hamilton 在接受《连线》采访时表示:「如果要找出(加密货币预测市场)能重返美国的一个关键原因,那必然是特朗普政府 —— 说白了,就是唐纳德・特朗普本人。」

其实在 Truth Predict 推出之前,特朗普家族就已在美国预测市场的发展布局中持有经济利益。

2025 年 1 月,小唐纳德・特朗普(Donald Trump Jr.)以战略顾问身份加入 Kalshi;同年 8 月,Polymarket 获得了风险投资公司 1789 资本的投资,而小唐纳德・特朗普正是该公司的合伙人。作为交易的一部分,他还加入了 Polymarket 的顾问委员会。

就在 Polymarket 寻求重返美国市场之际,特朗普家族与该平台建立了关联。这一情况受到了批评人士的密切关注,他们认为这笔投资可能构成利益冲突。批评者称,这笔交易为特朗普家族创造了机会,使其能从特朗普政府推动的政策变动中获利。

「旋转门项目」(Revolving Door Project,一家致力于监督民选官员行为的机构)执行董事 Jeff Hauser 表示:「没人会说,在资本主义国家,总统的家人不能从事正常的资本主义活动。但 Polymarket 正处于激烈的政治争议之中,因此这笔投资反映出重大的利益冲突 —— 而且这种冲突本是可以避免的。」

白宫新闻秘书 Karoline Leavitt 在给《连线》的一份声明中回应:「总统及其家人从未、也绝不会涉及利益冲突。」

截至目前,Polymarket、特朗普媒体与科技集团(TMTG)和 1789 资本均未回应置评请求。

Truth Predict 的推出,还可能导致特朗普家族商业帝国的不同分支陷入直接竞争。

加密货币风投公司 CoinFund 的管理合伙人 Chris Perkins 表示:「从风投的角度来看,我们很多人都不愿投资存在竞争关系的项目,会尽量避免这种情况 —— 我们会努力找出『品类赢家』。」

事实上,与特朗普家族相关的企业早已在运营相互竞争的比特币财库公司;2025 年 6 月,还曾就「哪家企业有权推出『官方』特朗普品牌加密钱包」爆发过争议。

Programmers Worldwide Are Wasting Money on Anthropic! The Company Can't Stand It Anymore

Anthropic recently published guidelines to help developers using Claude Code reduce unnecessary token costs. The key recommendations include: 1) Clear (/clear) conversations after completing a task to avoid carrying irrelevant file reads and command outputs into the next task. 2) Set the model and reasoning effort level at the start of a session, as switching mid-session invalidates the prompt cache, requiring a full-price recalculation of the entire dialog history. 3) Attach files using @ references instead of typing paths manually to avoid extra tool calls and searches that bloat the context. 4) Add quiet flags to verbose commands (e.g., in CLAUDE.md) to minimize lengthy output in the dialog history. 5) Use /compact while the session cache is still warm (before breaks) to compress the dialog at one-tenth the cost. 6) Offload large-output tasks to a sub-agent, which runs in an isolated context and only returns conclusions, preventing intermediate outputs from polluting the main dialog. The article explains token pricing: input tokens (prefill) are processed in parallel, while output tokens (decode) are generated serially, making output tokens five times more expensive. Caching is crucial for savings—if a request's prefix (system prompt, CLAUDE.md, dialog history) matches the previous one byte-for-byte, reading it costs only 10% of the standard input price. However, cache invalidation occurs when changing models, effort levels, fast mode, compressing dialogs, after cache expiration, or when resuming old sessions. Dialog history also grows quadratically (O(n²)) as file contents and command outputs accumulate, increasing costs per round. Proactive context management—like isolating noisy tasks, using /rewind to trim unproductive turns, and task-based session clearing—is becoming an essential skill for cost-effective AI-assisted development.

Pax Silica vs. WAICO: The US Wants to Prohibit Europe from Using Chinese Artificial Intelligence

The United States is preparing to demand that European and other partners abandon Chinese artificial intelligence initiatives, threatening exclusion from the American-led "Pax Silica" coalition, according to a leaked U.S. State Department document. This ultimatum forces signatories of the "AI Opportunity Statement" to choose between the Western technological ecosystem and alternative frameworks, with China not explicitly named but clearly targeted. Pax Silica is a U.S. strategy for AI and semiconductor hegemony, launched in late 2025. Its European presence expanded significantly in mid-2026. Concurrently, China, Russia, and 27 other nations established the World AI Cooperation Organization (WAICO) in July 2026 as an independent intergovernmental platform promoting AI governance based on UN principles. This situation creates a difficult choice, especially for European nations balancing strategic autonomy with dependence on U.S. tech and security. It also pressures Global South countries with pragmatic ties to both Washington and Beijing. The formation of competing blocks risks fragmenting the global tech landscape, forcing companies to split supply chains, increasing costs, and potentially leading to incompatible standards and protocols. The era of open globalization in AI may be ending, replaced by geopolitical confrontation where technological sovereignty trumps economic efficiency. The decisions made will shape the global digital economy for decades.

Robert Kiyosaki Shares His Mentor's Predictions About the Emergence of Bitcoin and AI

American entrepreneur and author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," Robert Kiyosaki, discussed the influence of futurist R. Buckminster Fuller on his worldview, linking Fuller's past technological predictions to the emergence of Bitcoin and the development of artificial intelligence. In an X post, Kiyosaki also reflected on personal purpose, sharing his journey from the music business—where he worked with bands like The Police and Iron Maiden—to creating the "Cashflow" board game and writing his famous book. He described feeling an inner emptiness despite his success, a turning point that came after meeting Fuller, whom he studied with for three summers. Kiyosaki described Fuller as a "friendly genius" who foresaw world-changing developments like Bitcoin and AI. However, the core of his post focused on Fuller's philosophical impact, particularly a quote about belonging to the universe and finding purpose by dedicating one's life to the maximum benefit of others. The entrepreneur remains a vocal advocate for cryptocurrencies. He regularly advises buying Bitcoin during market panics, viewing it and assets like Ethereum, gold, and silver as hedges against traditional financial system failures. Kiyosaki has predicted a major market crash by 2026, seeing it as an opportunity for prepared investors, with long-term price targets including $750,000 for Bitcoin and $95,000 for Ethereum.

Etherealize CEO Calls Wall Street's Private Blockchains a 'Race to the Bottom'

Etherealize co-founder and CEO Vivek Raman criticized Wall Street's growing interest in private, permissioned blockchains, calling them a "race to the bottom." In an interview with CoinDesk, Raman argued that consortium networks fragment liquidity and return the industry to the siloed systems that blockchain technology was meant to overcome. He stated that closed networks do not interoperate, undermining two key advantages of the technology: system compatibility and liquidity concentration. Etherealize promotes Ethereum as an open, foundational layer for institutional players. Raman insists that privacy and access restrictions should be built on top of public infrastructure—at the application or L2 level—rather than creating separate, closed networks. He compared Ethereum to HTTP as a base layer, with additional permissioned and private layers akin to HTTPS. Examples of this new wave of "closed" solutions mentioned include Canton Network from Digital Asset, Circle's Arc project, and Stripe's Tempo. Raman termed this trend "consortium chains 2.0," recalling earlier initiatives like the R3 interbank consortium and the Hyperledger corporate ecosystem from 2016 that failed to gain significant traction. He reiterated his firm belief that a global, open, permissionless infrastructure is necessary as a foundational base layer. Raman previously noted in June that traditional financial institutions had begun implementing Ethereum-based solutions into real business processes.
