Svmuu News: Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, published a 110-point article opposing the proposed BIP-110 soft fork on Bitcoin.BIP-110 plans to tighten the Bitcoin consensus rules within about a year, restricting the technology used to embed arbitrary data, with the aim of targeting non-financial data such as Ordinals and inscriptions.
Michael Saylor stated that BIP-110 would invalidate currently valid and paid-for transactions through the consensus mechanism, and argued that Bitcoin cannot discern the intent behind the data. He believes that subjecting a particular use case to restrictions at the consensus layer would set a governance precedent; while the restrictions themselves would expire in about a year, the precedent would remain.
He also opposes the proposal’s activation design, noting that it lowers the miner signal threshold from 95%—used in earlier soft forks—to 55% and removes the option to allow proposals to expire naturally. The proposal’s monitoring dashboard shows that the current signal support rate is below 1%.
The BIP-110 mandatory signaling window will open in August, with a target activation date of approximately September 1.Michael Saylor’s position aligns with that of Blockstream CEO Adam Back, Casa’s Jameson Lopp, and Bitcoin supporter Samson Mow, while opponents include developer Luke Dashjr and the Bitcoin Knots camp.

Svmuu News: QCP Market reports that global market sentiment has shifted toward risk aversion due to the situation in the Middle East and expectations of a hawkish stance by the Federal Reserve.Following the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports, crude oil prices rose, with Brent crude returning above $85 per barrel and posting a weekly gain of over 10%.In the U.S. stock market, the semiconductor sector led the decline, with capital flowing out of high-beta AI tech stocks and shifting toward defensive and energy sectors.

Svmuu News: In its Q2 2026 Security and Compliance Report, Hacken stated that institutional investors are expanding the scope of their due diligence from smart contract audits to include continuous monitoring, signer controls, and incident response preparedness. Of the 1,427 projects it tracks, only 9% have third-party monitoring, and 4% have all three: monitoring, active bug bounties, and security audits. The report shows that of the approximately $764 million in funds stolen during the second quarter, 88.3% involved compromised keys, signers, and infrastructure.
Hacken noted that 14 projects attacked in the second quarter had previously undergone audits, but most of the losses stemmed from areas outside the scope of traditional smart contract reviews. The report stated that affected areas included signing devices, cross-chain bridge validators, backend infrastructure, administrator keys, and legacy contracts that had been deprecated but were still in operation. The sample covered 1,427 projects listed on centralized exchanges ranked in the top 50 by CoinGecko’s Trust Score, with a market capitalization exceeding $1 million, excluding wrapped assets, stablecoins, and tokenized real-world assets.

Svmuu News: Vitalik posted on X, stating that one direction for the future development of AI is a deeper integration between humans and machines. This includes computers working more collaboratively with humans, recognizing conscious and subconscious signals emitted by humans, brain-computer interfaces, and computer-assisted telepathy that helps people better understand and collaborate with one another. The ultimate form of this would be the elimination of the binary division between humans and machines, opening up various positions along this spectrum.
Vitalik hopes that deeply integrated humans and machines will outperform humans and machines operating in isolation, continuing to do so until the limits of technology are reached. The AI outcomes he envisions for the distant future include: the preservation of global political and economic pluralism, with no single company or government dominating; humans having the option to undergo technological upgrades to explore the universe on a par with pure machines, or to maintain the status quo and navigate the world through robots that follow instructions; much of Earth potentially becoming highly regulated nature reserves, where people can continue their current lifestyles while venturing into space for more radical endeavors;
AI itself may become too powerful compared to other alternatives; a particular nation or company might gain a decisive advantage and permanently lock in that position; powerful technological capabilities could cause incalculable harm; and the path of human-machine fusion itself may fail to preserve sufficient humanity, ultimately amounting to nothing more than another way to create powerful robots. Therefore, he hopes to navigate this narrow passage at a slower pace and supports proposals to decelerate or pause progress, including ideas such as mutually assured destruction of computing power that could provide an opportunity to hit the brakes.
Vitalik stated that his ideal world is one where open weights prevail, and that Dean Ball’s assessment—that open weights have a deceleration effect by curbing capital expenditures on cutting-edge models—is entirely correct, even though this would drive more capital expenditures toward peripheral devices and applications. This would allow for deceleration without resorting to harsher political measures. However, he believes we should not rely on the world naturally conforming to convenient economic and physical laws; humans still possess a degree of agency over political dynamics, and there are many ways to alter incentives without allowing a single authority to take control—and these methods should be utilized.
