POPULARITY
Zak's Traders Cafe sat down with Paul Mathieson, CEO of Amazing AI, to unpack a fresh take on corporate crypto exposure — a strategy Paul describes not just as "Bitcoin treasury 2.0" but as crypto treasury 3.0. After a turbulent few months for London-listed companies that rushed to add Bitcoin to their balance sheets, Paul and I discussed why the old model is breaking down and how his team plans to approach things differently: more sophisticated, more diversified, and better protected. Why the Bitcoin Treasury 1.0 model is fading Earlier this year many companies followed a simple playbook: raise equity, buy Bitcoin, and hold it on the balance sheet. That headline-friendly approach produced big share price moves in May–July, but many of those gains have since evaporated — some names are down as much as 80% from their peaks. Investors and markets reacted; hype cooled. As Paul put it, the straightforward buy-and-hold crypto treasury is "pretty simple" and increasingly seen as outdated. The problem with buy-and-hold Heavy dilution: companies raising repeatedly to buy more crypto. Binary exposure: full directional risk to a single asset like Bitcoin. Market expectation vs operational reality: investors began pricing in the flaws once the euphoria passed. Introducing Crypto Treasury 3.0: a different philosophy Paul argues Amazing AI is moving beyond the one-dimensional treasury model by combining derivatives expertise, diversification across crypto assets, active risk management, and a profitable underlying business to fund the strategy. As Paul told me: "I don't think it's just crypto treasury 2.0. I think it's actually 3.0. We are going beyond the basic to diversify... and more importantly managing the exposure, not just sitting there." — Paul MathiesonKey pillars of the approach: Derivatives-based exposure: using long-dated options and futures to gain leveraged crypto exposure while defining downside risk. Diversification: exposure spread across multiple crypto assets rather than a single-asset bet. Active management: protective hedges and re-protection on the way up to lock in gains. Revenue backing: a core U.S. lending business generating strong cash flows to fund option premiums and operations. Opportunistic M&A: potential acquisitions of failed "crypto 1.0" players to consolidate and repurpose assets. How the derivatives strategy works — plain English Paul drew on decades of funds management and investment banking experience to adopt option structures that can deliver asymmetric returns. The approach is not simply selling covered calls (income-focused), but more like a strangle strategy combined with targeted protection. Strangle-like positions: buying combinations of calls and puts to profit from large moves either up or down. The structure benefits from volatility and large directional moves. Defined downside: losses are limited to the premiums paid for options, rather than the full exposure of owning the underlying crypto outright. Leverage potential: relatively small cash outlay on options can create very large notional exposure (Paul discussed scenarios of up to 100x notional exposure in upside cases), while premium cost caps the downside. Paul emphasised that the firm is comfortable paying option premiums because Amazing AI has a core business able to generate predictable revenue. That changes the math: instead of raising equity constantly to buy more crypto, small capital raises can create sizable market exposure via derivatives. Backtest results and credibility Paul shared that he backtested his strategy over two decades and, in his words, it "never lost money" and averaged around 500% returns historically, with larger gains on upside moves. He also said the approach underpins the holdings of long-term shareholders in the company today. While past performance and backtests are not guarantees, the claim signals the firm has applied a rigorous, experience-led framework rather than relying on speculation alone. Differences from covered-call or simple buy-and-hold strategies When I asked whether the approach is similar to covered-call income strategies, Paul was clear: it's materially different. Covered calls generate income by selling upside, moderating upside participation in exchange for premiums. Amazing AI's method is designed to benefit from significant directional moves while protecting capital via paid protection. Covered call = sell upside to earn premium, capped upside. Strangle/option approach = pay premium for asymmetric exposure and defined loss, large upside potential if volatility or direction materialises. Operational advantages: less dilution, more optionality One of the practical benefits Paul highlighted is capital efficiency. Because option premiums are significantly smaller than buying the underlying outright, Amazing AI can achieve large crypto exposures from comparatively modest raises. Paul also noted he remains the major shareholder and is not interested in frequent dilution, aligning management incentives with long-term shareholders. Additional operational levers include: Using revenues from a U.S. lending arm (quoted rate: 59.9% on loans) to fund premium payments and operations. Rolling and re-protecting positions as markets move to lock in gains and manage risk. Purchasing distressed "crypto 1.0" assets or companies and converting their strategy to the new model. Risk considerations and why diversification matters Paul stressed that while he believes in crypto, prudent risk management matters. He mentioned edge-case risks — for example, quantum attacks or specific vulnerabilities in mining — as reasons to diversify beyond Bitcoin alone. The goal is to construct a portfolio where only a subset of holdings needs to perform for the strategy to succeed. In short: rather than bet everything on a single outcome (Bitcoin to infinity or to zero), the approach seeks multiple asymmetric bets and defined downside exposure. What to watch next Over the coming months investors should watch how Amazing AI implements the strategy: the mix of option structures used, the degree of leverage taken, how the company re-protects gains as markets rise, and whether opportunistic acquisitions materialise. Also worth monitoring will be capital raises and how management balances funding the strategy with shareholder dilution. Conclusion The landscape for corporate crypto treasuries has shifted. Simple buy-and-hold has shown vulnerabilities in a choppy market. Amazing AI's approach, as explained by Paul Mathieson, blends derivatives expertise, diversification, active hedging, and an operating business that helps fund premiums — an attempt to deliver asymmetric upside while capping downside. If you're interested in corporate crypto strategies or the evolving ways companies are gaining exposure to digital assets, this is a model worth watching: it's about turning raw crypto exposure into a more manageable, capital-efficient, and actively managed program.

School kids and teachers aren't the only ones that get a summer vacation. City council, and those that cover them, also get a summer break, at least when it comes to the monthly meeting schedule. We now have a couple of weeks of meetings under our belt since August ended, but for this week's podcast we're going back in time to business at council before summer vacation. We will start in May when council said goodbye to a colleague who got a new job, and then they got into the issue of placing a daytime shelter, and whether or not that should go downtown. Downtown was a pretty big area of interest in the middle three months of meetings this year, from the upcoming big dig on Upper Wyndham and St. George's Square to the possibility of holding the Memorial Cup at the Sleeman Centre in 2027. The biggest story though might have been that council vacancy. There were times that the even number of council representatives caused some difficulties on close votes, including on the vote to appoint a replacement for Dominique O'Rourke. The appointment process was a tremendous source of drama but so was, surprisingly, the pace of new heritage designations that have been brought to council for approval over the last several months. This is just a taste of some of the council business that took place between May and July of this year. Some issues were more complicated than others, some issues turned out to be not issues at all. Council sat as a shareholder, and as a tribunal. They met for some special orientation meetings, and they had a planning matter come to a regular meeting through Strong Mayor Powers. It's a lot to cover in a little over 30 minutes, but this week we will give it a try. So let's get into the middle part of this year at city council on this week's Guelph Politicast! You can see all the council meeting agenda and find videos of all the council meetings on the City of Guelph website.

I want to say that toys advertising actual gold seems like something unique to our modern hellscape, but they've probably done it before, or equally ridiculous and borderline scammy promotions.

Money flow in the cattle market has been significant, contributing to a nice turnaround after a period of softness. Despite the recent jobs report, which could temper consumer demand, cattle prices have remained resilient. Fund-related trading is also playing a role in both cattle and grain markets, adding to volatility. In the grain market, China has returned to buy more soybeans, driving a strong market move, with soybeans emerging as the key market mover of the day. The May/July corn spread is drawing attention, suggesting that traders are positioning for potential changes in supply dynamics later in the year. Meanwhile, basis levels for grains continue to fluctuate, reflecting local demand and transportation concerns as harvest approaches

This episode covers the radical history of the Twin Cities, which evolved in a unique and dynamic historical conjuncture in the long 1960s as a site in which African American, American Indian and Mexican American communities were concentrated in an otherwise overwhelmingly white state. The emergence of Black Power, the American Indian Movement, and the Chicano Movement parallel and overlapping in a shared urban site speaks to the socio-political context of injustice. These dynamic movements built infrastructure to confront these shared forms of repression, but through their particular communities: The Way organization in the Black community, Centro Cultural Chicano in the Mexican community, and in several independent schools in the American Indian community. These institutions—also evident in the emergence of the Black Patrol, the AIM Patrol and the Brown Berets in addressing police violence—emerged independently but with points of convergence and direct interaction. Jamie Curry and Jimmy Patiño would also like to add the names and dates regarding the women in AIM: in May - July 28, 1968, the American Indian Movement is founded and conceived in Stillwater State Prison by Eddie Benton-Benai Jr., Dennis Banks, and Clyde Bellecourt; Alberta Strongwoman, Elkwind Dalmond, Caroline Dickinson, Fanny Fairbanks, Laura Waterman Wittstock and Elaine J. Salinas called the first meeting on the Northside. Not once did Clyde or Dennis take action or strategize without input from the women in the movement and are still the backbone today). Calling themselves (in '68) Concerned Indian Americans (CIA), they start patrols in Minneapolis because of the school's mistreatment of their sons and daughters, lack of decent housing, to combat weekly police brutality and racism inflicted upon and experienced by Indian people in the Twin Cities. https://www.instagram.com/soulforcemn/ Watch the video edition on The Red Nation Podcast YouTube channel The Red Nation Podcast is sustained by comrades and supporters like you.

How, where, when and why should we be training our EMS clinicians to take care of tiny humans? Look no further for the answers, as we have subject matter expert Stephanie Ashford, Division Chief of Clinical Practice at the Saint Charles County (MO) Ambulance District. Stephanie has proven advice on how to successfully integrate pediatric readiness and skills training for your agency. Tiny humans are sometimes terrifying (smaller parts, requires math, etc.), and Stephanie's experience teaches us how to implement Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice as well as other mantras such as "Pause, Prescribe, Replay" so that we are basing our training on proven research. Take a listen and be sure to check out the Peds Ready PPRP Assessment, open from May- July: https://emspedsready.org/ Mentioned in the episode: Follow Stephanie on X: https://twitter.com/ashfordmom Peak by Anders Ericsson Kirkpatrick Model Dr. John Hoyle SCCAD EMS STARS Program The EMS Educator will publish on the first Friday of every month!

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Speedrun ruiner research idea, published by Luke H Miles on April 13, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. Central claim: If you can make a tool to prevent players from glitching games *in the general case*, then it will probably also work pretty well for RL with (non-superintelligent) advanced AI systems. Alternative title: RL reward+environment autorobustifier Problem addressed: every RL thing ever trained found glitches/edge-cases in the reward function or the game/physics-sim/etc and exploited those until the glitches were manually patched Months ago I saw a tweet from someone at OpenAI saying, yes, of course this happens with RLHF as well. (I can't find it. Anyone have it bookmarked? Obviously analogous 'problem': Most games get speedrun into oblivion by gamers. Idea: Make a software system that can automatically detect glitchy behavior in the RAM of **any** game (like a cheat engine in reverse) and thereby ruin the game's speedrunability. You can imagine your system gets a score from a human on a given game: Game is unplayable: score := -1 Blocks glitch: score += 10 * [importance of that glitch] Blocks unusually clever but non-glitchy behavior: score -=5 * [in-game benefit of that behavior] Game is laggy:[1] score := score * [proportion of frames dropped] Tool requires non-glitchy runs on a game as training data: score -= 2 * [human hours required to make non-glitchy runs] / [human hours required to discover the glitch] Further defense of the analogy between general anti-speedrun tool and general RL reward+environment robustifier: Speedrunners are smart as hell Both have similar fuzzy boundaries that are hard to formalize: 'player played game very well' vs 'player broke the game and didn't play it' is like 'agent did the task very well' vs 'agent broke our sim and did not learn to do what we need it to do' In other words, you don't want to punish talented-but-fair players. Both must run tolerably fast (can't afford to kill the AI devs' research iteration speed or increase training costs much) Both must be 'cheap enough' to develop & maintain Breakdown of analogy: I think such a tool could work well through GPT alphazero 5, but probably not GodAI6 (Also if random reader wants to fund this idea, I don't have plans for May-July yet.) ^ Note that "laggy" is indeed the correct/useful notion, not eg "average CPU utilization increase" because "lagginess" conveniently bundles key performance issues in both the game-playing and RL-training case: loading time between levels/tasks is OK; more frequent & important actions being slower is very bad; turn-based things can be extremely slow as long as they're faster than the agent/player; etc. Thanks for listening.
