    ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ Author Kiyosaki Reacts to Bitcoin’s All-Time High With Advice and Warning

    Thus, Robert Kiyosaki, the famous financial motivator and author of the bestseller “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” touched upon the topic of BTC’s performance in his new post. In his post, Kiyosaki argues that as the price of Bitcoin rises, it becomes clear that the rich are getting even richer, as probably less than one in eight million people could write a check for $106,000 on the spot.Does this mean that only the rich who can afford the full Bitcoin in cash will get richer, the author asks. And when the price of Bitcoin goes higher? No, of course not, argues Kiyosaki. That, in his opinion, is the genius of Bitcoin. Even though all a person can afford is half a satoshi, the smallest division of BTC, the cryptocurrency’s design is democratic and allows even people who cannot write a check for the full $106,000 dollars to have an equal opportunity to get richer and richer as those who can write a check for $106,000.“The lesson … Bitcoin is democratic… pure design genius…” Kiyosaki reflects, however, he immediately warns not to delay and start getting richer today, namely at least start buying satoshis, which themselves, according to the author, can one day reach a price of $106,000.While many may take this advice as they wish and either follow Kiyosaki or reject him, it is difficult to argue with the fact that Bitcoin’s design is brilliant, with the ability to buy even one ten-thousandth of a piece.This article was originally published on U.Today More

    Atom Accelerator Puts Weight Behind CosmWasm Coalition, Offers Matching Funding with Neutron

    Atom Accelerator (AADAO), a governance-mandated DAO of the Cosmos Hub, has announced $250,000 funding support to Confio for the continued development and maintenance of CosmWasm throughout 2025. This funding is being matched by Neutron, the integrated application network in Cosmos, with a further $250,000. CosmWasm, developed by Confio since 2020, powers smart contract functionality for nearly 100 chains, enabling developers to create decentralized applications (dApps) that operate seamlessly across the interchain. In the past 12 months, contracts built with CosmWasm in the Cosmos ecosystem generated over $5.7 million in fees. Despite its widespread adoption, the Interchain Foundation has thus far been the primary funder for the development and maintenance of Cosmwasm. Following organizational restructuring at the Interchain Foundation (ICF), Confio’s funding for the year 2025 has been drastically reduced. The Cosmos Hub relies on CosmWasm for permissioned smart contract capabilities, making its continued maintenance essential to the Hub’s operations and future upgrades. Many consumer chains utilizing the Hub’s Interchain Security have built their infrastructure on CosmWasm, making the framework vital to sustaining and expanding the ecosystem. By committing to early funding, the Cosmos Hub secures priority consideration for its technical needs and those of its consumer chains in Confio’s development roadmap.By taking the first step in committing funding, AADAO and Neutron hope that their initiative will encourage additional contributions from other ecosystem stakeholders, ensuring the financial stability of CosmWasm and the broader interchain ecosystem.About Atom Accelerator DAO (AADAO) Atom Accelerator DAO (AADAO) is a governance-mandated DAO of the Cosmos Hub.
