💢 Why wasn’t the ecosystem summit held before the V28 upgrade process began⁉️
Looking back at the entire upgrade journey from Protocol v19 to v28 on Stellar Core/Soroban, the waiting period truly feels endless.
However, from a technical and infrastructure strategy perspective, there are several fundamental reasons why the core team is organizing the ecosystem summit only now (late 2026), rather than earlier:
1. “You can’t build a house before laying the foundation” (SOROBAN & SMART CONTRACTS)
🔹 Stages V19–V21: At the time, Pi Network mainly handled basic transfer transactions. The infrastruc

🛢️ PDVSA targets 400,000 barrels per day in the Western Basin: a P2P perspective.
At the II Energy, Oil and Gas Conference (CEPEG 2026, Maracaibo), PDVSA President Héctor Obregón presented the projection: the country’s Western Basin could end 2026 producing around 400,000 barrels per day. That region would be one of the pillars supporting the state-owned company’s goal of reaching 1.3 million barrels per day nationwide by year-end. According to the event, that growth would be driven by coordination among oil and gas industry groups.
Why should this economic headline matter to anyone operating

US Producer Inflation Surges in September: Will Higher Prices Put Bitcoin and Risk Assets Under Pressure?
The latest US Producer Price Index (PPI) report has placed inflation concerns back at the center of global financial markets. September’s figures came in significantly above economists’ expectations, raising fresh questions about the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate strategy and the outlook for Bitcoin, Ethereum, altcoins, and traditional investments.
For traders, the key issue is no longer simply whether inflation is rising. It is whether persistent price

The tariff stick is swinging again on Monday: Canada and Mexico face 25%, China 10%, with negotiations happening just hours before the tariffs take effect. My take: Canada and Mexico will most likely drag things out. If the tariffs do kick in, U.S. automakers and supermarkets will feel the pain first. The catch-up trade isn’t in the countries getting hit with tariffs, but in supply-chain alternatives and gold. Stare at the market long enough, and you start seeing what you want to see—so I’m saving this take to check back on tomorrow. If you’re watching, follow along.

7.338 This bottoming grind is making people restless. The drop-then-sideways action is the best way to trick people into catching a falling knife. If it can’t push past 7.5, it’s a bull trap, yet bulls are still piling in 😤 Once 7.26 breaks, the bottoming grind turns into a breakdown. I’m leaning bearish this time; don’t wait until it drops further to admit it

Google Willow’s breakthrough raises new questions about Bitcoin’s long-term security.$BT Bitcoin has weathered market crashes, regulatory pressure, and countless technological challenges. But a new development in quantum computing has once again brought a question about long-term security into focus.
