Craig reviews another slow week across the crypto market, with Bitcoin continuing to struggle below $65,000 and most major coins trading sideways. He remains long Litecoin after a clean daily breakout and is watching for a possible pullback and bullish continuation. Ethereum showed slightly more strength, while Binance Coin, Cardano, Dogecoin, Solana, XRP, and Tron offered very little momentum. Bitcoin Cash was one of the weaker performers, falling roughly 10% over the week. With few strong trends available, Craig is focusing on higher-timeframe breakout setups in markets such as Injective and Ethereum Classic rather than forcing low-quality trades. His main message is patience: when conditions are this slow, traders should reduce activity, manage risk carefully, and wait for the market to provide better opportunities.Start your free 7-day trial of Market Intern at: https://marketintern.comSubscribe to Craig's free Tuesday newsletter at: https://www.thegrowmeco.comHappy Hodling, Everyone.

This Cardano ADA news update starts with the Linux Foundation's x402 Foundation and the rise of internet-native AI agent payments. Cardano is listed through the Cardano Foundation, but the membership tier raises a bigger question: is Cardano shaping the standard, or just appearing beside it?Peter then connects that x402 story to Masumi, Hydra, DeltaDeFi, SBI's move with Solana in Japan, AlphaGrowth, Blockfrost, and the upcoming Van Rossum hard fork. The core theme is simple: Cardano has serious technology, but the ecosystem needs stronger business development, marketing, liquidity, and user adoption if those projects are going to survive and grow.Chapters:0:00 Intro and x402 setup1:18 AI agent payments explained3:01 x402 membership tiers5:13 Cardano associate member question7:17 Masumi, Hydra and AI payments9:06 DeltaDeFi pauses operations11:51 SBI, Solana and Japan14:10 Cardano adoption problem15:44 AlphaGrowth proof case19:10 Blockfrost infrastructure risk23:46 Cardano needs marketing26:19 Van Rossum hard fork warningWhat you'll learn:- x402 shows AI-native payments are becoming a serious internet payments category, with major finance, cloud, and crypto organisations involved.- Cardano Foundation is present in x402 as an associate member, but Peter questions how much influence that gives Cardano over the standard.- Masumi, Hydra, Leios, and Cardano's eUTXO model give Cardano a credible technical stack for AI agent payments.- DeltaDeFi pausing operations shows that strong Hydra-based products can still struggle when users, liquidity, and awareness do not arrive.- SBI choosing Solana in Japan highlights why business development and commercial representation matter, not just technical capability.- AlphaGrowth and Blockfrost are framed as examples of the growth and infrastructure support Cardano needs to turn technology into adoption.Links & References:Linux Foundation has launched the x402 Foundation:- https://link.learncardano.io/CixMMPCardano Foundation has joined x402 as an Associate Member:- https://link.learncardano.io/VZngLHLinux Foundation Announces Operational Launch of x402 Foundation to Standardize Internet-Native Payments for AI Agents and Applications:- https://link.learncardano.io/86s6Bs- https://link.learncardano.io/V5qvDKProjects on Cardano Using x402:- https://link.learncardano.io/643BBv- https://link.learncardano.io/5rilqGexplanation page for x402 on Cardano:- https://link.learncardano.io/JgPgBwDeltaDeFi operation will be paused effectively today:- https://link.learncardano.io/pgXJudSBI Partners with Solana Foundation:- https://link.learncardano.io/VsLBCbIf you Build It, They Will Come:- https://link.learncardano.io/ULtbrKAlphaGrowth's Work on Compound:- https://link.learncardano.io/vY9rlbAlphaGrowth Cardano Prime:- https://link.learncardano.io/5xOoK0Future of Blockfrost:- https://link.learncardano.io/mba82eCardano Node Update:- https://link.learncardano.io/9C45RS- https://link.learncardano.io/svhdpVPulse on Midnight:- https://link.learncardano.io/LsYlUOWebsite: https://link.learncardano.io/bQ68RcX/Twitter: https://link.learncardano.io/3a1QtvDisclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only.

What does it take to write the very first check into a company that has almost nothing to show yet, sometimes not even a finished idea?Afore Capital helped invent the pre-seed category. When Gaurav Jain and Anamitra Banerji started the firm ten years ago, "pre-seed" was almost a slight, a label for founders who couldn't raise a proper seed round. They set out to build the world's largest pre-seed fund anyway, closing $47 million on a $40 million target, and every fund since has closed above plan. Afore now runs more than $500 million across four funds, with top-quartile DPI on the first three. The idea has become so mainstream that when Sequoia launched its latest fund, it said, "I guess we're pre-seed investors too."The real substance of the conversation is how Gaurav thinks. He is clear about what matters most in venture, and the order tends to surprise people. Being in the very best companies matters more than anything else, ownership comes after that, and the entry price that so many investors fixate on matters least, because fifty per cent of zero is still zero. He is also convinced that the genuine bottleneck is talent. There is a great deal of money in the world and very few people who can build something truly large, which is why at the earliest stage founders tend to choose their investors as much as investors choose them. You give a founder a million dollars with no collateral, and then you still have to convince them to take it. A pre-seed pitch, he says, is almost entirely storytelling with very little data behind it.If you want to understand how the earliest checks actually get written, and what it really costs to say no, this episode is worth your time.00:00 - Trailer01:00 - From Dehradun to Google to starting Afore02:08 - The Waterloo co-op that talked him out of every job03:18 - Back when "pre-seed" was an insult05:44 - When Sequoia said "I guess we're pre-seed investors too"07:26 - Afore's three products, and the experiments that failed09:01 - Hightouch was a travel company when they invested11:02 - Goldcast: no visa, no money, funded anyway12:07 - The through line is always the team14:44 - The Ramp miss17:24 - "Founders pick us more than we pick them"18:45 - The constraint isn't capital, it's talent22:24 - The Solana miss, when it was still Loom Protocol24:46 - Ramp's Super Bowl ad, the buses, his wife's business25:32 - What he looks for in founders28:50 - Coachability, happy ears, and the Mom Test31:28 - The biggest mistake: falling in love with the idea35:04 - The three things that matter, and "50% of zero is still zero"39:25 - "100% storytelling, 0% data"41:25 - Investing in India, and the fear of being dumb capital44:41 - "Sign the deal before Monday"47:26 - One engineer now does the job of 2051:43 - Raising from LPs, the undiscussed part of VC-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.
