Financial expert&nbsp;Robert Kiyosaki&nbsp;said Sunday that he would buy more Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) as the apex cryptocurrency continued its gravity-defying run on price charts.
What Happened: Kiyosaki took to X to celebrate the ongoing surge in Bitcoin&#8217;s value.
&#8220;Going to buy one&nbsp;more Bitcoin asap. It's never&nbsp;been easier to become rich…&nbsp;even a millionaire,&#8221; &nbsp;the author of the best-selling book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" said.
Kiyosaki urged his followers to study the asset and see if Bitcoin is what they need to become millionaires themselves.

This isn&#8217;t the first time Kiyosaki has advocated for investment in Bitcoin.

Kiyosaki is infamous for making bold predictions regarding Bitcoin&#8217;s price, some of which were way off the mark. He projected Bitcoin would hit $100,000 in June of last year.

'Rich Dad Poor Dad' Author Robert Kiyosaki Says He Will Buy 'One More' Bitcoin ASAP As BTC Breaks $122,000

Billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya sparked speculations regarding a potential megamerger between Elon Musk&#8217;s biggest ventures, xAI, SpaceX, and, of course, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TSLA stock here.</a>
What Happened: On Sunday, in a post on X, Palihapitiya made the case for a merger cascade between Musk&#8217;s ventures, xAI, which owns X.com, Grok, and more, with his space exploration, autonomous vehicles and EV plays.
He suggests that merging the three could give rise to a singular, transformative entity centered on &#8220;consciousness in all of its forms,&#8221; one that spans the physical, digital, and extraterrestrial realms.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46380521/elon-musk-rejects-reports-that-xai-is-looking-to-raise-additional-funds-at-200-billion-valuation-we-have-plenty-of-capital">Elon Musk Rejects Reports That xAI Is Looking To Raise Additional Funds At $200 Billion Valuation: &#8216;We Have Plenty Of Capital&#8217;</a>
&#8220;I&#8217;m here for it,&#8221; Palihapitiya says, adding that the outcome would be &#8220;pretty logical&#8221; in his opinion, with all three companies now centering around AI. 
This comes amid growing interest in Musk&#8217;s expanding empire, and how artificial intelligence can bind them all together. Tesla is leaning heavily into self-driving and robotics, SpaceX is integrating machine learning into space navigation and satellite networks, while xAI, Musk&#8217;s latest venture, focuses on building artificial general intelligence.
In his post, Palihapitiya uses the term &#8220;industrial logic,&#8221; suggesting that he sees strategic alignment with such a merger. From Tesla&#8217;s hardware and xAI&#8217;s software, to SpaceX&#8217;s infrastructure plays, all aligned in a single, vertically integrated platform.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">AI may be the industrial logic that can drive the following merger cascade: xAI —&gt; Tesla —&gt; SpaceX This would be pretty logical imo. One company focused on consciousness in all of its forms &#8211; physical, digital, beyond earth. I'm here for it.

Why It Matters: Nearly five years ago, Musk himself had approved of this idea to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/20/12/18915031/elon-musk-floats-idea-of-starting-one-parent-company-to-hold-tesla-spacex-boring-neuralink">form a holding company</a> named X, which would work as the parent company for his many ventures, such as Tesla, SpaceX, Boring and Neuralink.
This comes just months after Musk&#8217;s xAI <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44549314/elon-musk-acquires-his-own-social-media-platform-x-through-xai-in-33-billion-deal-says-combined-entity-now-worth-80-billion">acquired his social media platform</a>, X.com, formerly known as Twitter, in an all-stock deal valued at $33 billion. 
Musk&#8217;s SpaceX now plans to invest $2 billion into xAI, according <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/20/12/18915031/elon-musk-floats-idea-of-starting-one-parent-company-to-hold-tesla-spacex-boring-neuralink">to</a> a report by the Wall Street Journal on Sunday, as part of a $5 billion funding round. This values the company at $113 billion.
Price Action: Tesla shares were up 1.17% on Friday, trading at $313.51, and are up 0.85% after hours.

According to Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings, Tesla shares score high on Growth, but lag behind on other metrics, with a favorable price trend in the medium and long terms, but unfavorable in the short term.

Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) could lose a major revenue source as President Donald Trump's &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; introduced a flurry of budget cuts.
What Happened: The Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rival could potentially lose the revenue stream that helped it make $325 million in 2024 by selling ZEV credits, according to The Motley Fool <a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2025/07/13/prediction-rivian-could-lose-this-325-million-reve/">on</a> Sunday.
The new budget relaxes CAFE, or Corporate Average Fuel Economy norms, which stipulate that vehicles must be able to cover a certain amount of distance on a gallon of fuel. The norms also imposed fines on automakers who exceeded the norms.
To avoid paying the fines, automakers can either work on improving fuel economy or purchase ZEV credits from companies like Tesla and Rivian, which the government awards these companies for manufacturing vehicles that do not have any emissions.
Why It Matters: With the relaxation of these regulations, selling ZEV credits could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46258669/tesla-made-2-76-billion-from-zev-credits-in-2024-in-us-but-trumps-tax-bill-just-killed-this-revenue-stream">become a challenge</a> as automakers would become less inclined to purchase the credits from companies like Rivian.
However, Rivian has other streams of revenue as well. Recently, Also Inc., a micromobility company spun off from Rivian, hit a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46312033/rivian-spinoff-also-inc-hits-1-billion-valuation-after-raising-200-million-report">$1 billion valuation</a>. Rivian has a minority stake in Also.

Tesla-Rival Rivian Could Lose A Major Revenue Stream Due To a

Reported Earlier, China Exports (YoY) For June 5.8% Vs. 5.0% Est.; 4.8% Prior

President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46263434/trump-signs-sweeping-tax-and-spending-bill-that-cbo-says-will-add-3-3-trillion-to-us-deficit-cut-health-coverage-for-11-8-million-americans">signed the tax and spending bill</a> earlier this month, which introduces significant changes to federal student loan programs. This move has sparked a debate on how the funding gap will be filled.
What Happened: As part of the new bill, new limits on federal student loans for parents and graduate students will be imposed starting from July 1, 2026. Under the new rules, parents can borrow up to $20,000 per year, with a lifetime cap of $65,000 per student, through the federal Parent PLUS program, reported <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/12/your-money/student-loan-limits.html">the</a> New York Times.
Graduate students will face an annual borrowing limit of $20,500 and a total cap of $100,000, not counting any undergraduate debt. Meanwhile, students in professional programs — like medical or law school — will generally be limited to $50,000 per year and $200,000 overall.

These changes are expected to create a funding gap, potentially leading to a surge in private student loan lenders. The question remains whether these lenders will offer fair interest rates and terms.
Why It Matters: The new regulations, which were signed into law by President Trump earlier this month, are expected to have a significant impact on the student loan industry.
Private lenders like SoFi Technologies, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOFI#NASDAQ">SOFI</a>) are poised to benefit from these changes, as they are likely to see an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46284237/sofi-ready-to-capture-the-opportunity-as-trumps-big-beautiful-plan-restricts-federal-student-loans">increase in demand</a> for their services.
The bill has been met with criticism from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, who have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46311721/elizabeth-warren-says-gop-chose-trump-over-american-people-slams-big-beautiful-bill-for-potentially-ushering-health-care-cuts-price-hikes">voiced their concerns</a> about the potential consequences of the bill, including significant impacts on working American families.

Bitcoin Zooms Past $121,000 To Finish Historic Week: What's Fueling The Rally?

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (R) says it&#8217;s the White House and not Attorney General Pam Bondi who pulled the plug on publicly releasing a Justice Department review that discredits popular conspiracy theories about Jeffrey Epstein's death and any supposed "client list."
What Happened: Christie told ABC's "This Week" <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/week-transcript-7-13-25-white-house-nec/story?id=123708097">that</a> President Donald Trump is now rallying to Bondi's defense because the decision collides with campaign-trail promises of transparency and has enraged high-profile supporters who still want every document unsealed.
&#8220;What Donald Trump is learning is when you start the fire, sometimes you can&#8217;t put it out,&#8221; Christie said, claiming Trump shields Bondi because releasing the findings would anger supporters who believe murder or blackmail theories.
The 107-page review, finished June 30, reaffirmed Epstein's suicide and said names online were "unsubstantiated," according to a summary circulated late Friday. By Saturday, influencers Kash Patel, the FBI director, and Deputy Director Dan Bongino urged full disclosure, fueling talk that Bondi might resign.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46384692/elon-musk-says-trump-wants-everyone-to-stop-talking-about-epstein-reiterates-demand-that-president-just-release-the-files">See Also: Elon Musk Says Trump Wants Everyone To &#8216;Stop Talking&#8217; About Epstein, Reiterates Demand That President &#8216;Just Release The Files&#8217;</a>
Trump tried to tamp down the uproar in a Truth Social post Saturday night, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46383724/trump-stands-by-attorney-general-amid-jeffrey-epstein-controversy-let-pam-bondi-do-her-job-shes-great">calling Bondi "fantastic"</a> and blaming "old media hoaxes" for the controversy. Reuters reported the president insisted "nobody cares about Epstein" and promised only to release material "consistent with law."
Why It Matters: Christie warned that the explanation won't satisfy the base, noting Patel and Bongino were hired because they echoed Trump's transparency vows during the 2024 campaign. &#8220;We cannot let the president off that easily. He benefited directly from it. He fueled it. He encouraged it. And he certainly didn&#8217;t stop it,&#8221; Christie went on to say to ABC. Journalists and insiders now spotlight Bondi, Patel, and Bongino as the Trump administration battles an internal power struggle and the Epstein controversy. Cobb, a former insider, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46382248/jeffrey-epstein-case-ex-trump-white-house-lawyer-says-pam-bondi-isnt-going-anywhere-amid-power-struggle">assures the public</a> that Bondi will keep her post, shedding light on the administration's dynamics.
If Patel and Bongino walk away, their exits could dramatically reshape the White House power map.

Chris Christie Says Trump, Not Pam Bondi Pulled The Plug On Epstein Memo: 'When You Start The Fire, Sometimes You Can't Put It Out'

Cathie Wood&nbsp;expressed her support on Sunday for the Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) Foundation&#8217;s proposed upgrades aimed at enhancing the network&#8217;s scalability and privacy.
What Happened: Wood, the CEO of asset manager&nbsp;ARK Invest, said that while she may not understand all the technical details, she felt the Foundation seems to be &#8220;proposing the right moves.&#8221;
&#8220;I can't say I understand all of the details here, but the Ethereum Foundation does seem to be proposing the right moves for scalability and privacy to maintain its lead in the institutional world,&#8221; she said.
Wood&#8217;s endorsement didn&#8217;t go down too well with cryptocurrency trader&nbsp;MartyParty, who accused her of shilling products she was unfamiliar with. MartyParty highlighted user pain points for even basic wallet transactions and challenged Wood to validate these on her end.
&#8220;If you don't use a product, don't shill it please,&#8221; the trader added.

The Ethereum Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to promoting and developing Ethereum-related technologies, published a blog post detailing its intent to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/03/31353550/the-grand-plan-for-ethereum-an-analysis-of-zero-knowledge-scaling-from-ethdenver-2023">integrate zero-knowledge technology</a> into Ethereum Layer-1. 
Ark&#8217;s crypto analyst Raye Hadi said the upgrade could have &#8220;massive implications&#8221; for scalability and privacy, although its execution remains a challenge.

Meanwhile, Wood also weighed in on Ethereum&#8217;s scarcity-driven play. 
Lorenzo Valiente, Director of Research at Ark, highlighted how the Ethereum exchange-traded funds have raked in as many as 380,000 ETH in the last 9 days, while the network has emitted only 373,000 ETH since The Merge in September 2022.
&#8220;The price of any good is determined at the margin, demand relative to supply. The math is mathin,&#8221; Wood said, quoting Valiente&#8217;s analysis.

Why It Matters: Wood&#8217;s firm, Ark Invest, is known for its optimistic outlook about the Ethereum network.

Cathie Wood Praises Ethereum Foundation's Plans To Boost Scalability And Privacy, Trader Hits Back With 'Please Don't Shill It' If You Don't Use It

On Monday, Malaysia&#8217;s Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry announced that any export, transshipment, or transit of high-performance artificial intelligence <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45875791/trumps-ai-czar-david-sacks-dismisses-ai-chip-smuggling-fears-warns-over-regulation-could-hand-ai-dominance-to-china-we-talk-about-these-chips-like-they-could-be-smuggled-in-the-back-of-a">chips of U.S. origin</a> will now require a government-issued trade permit, effective immediately.
What Happened: The ministry said companies must notify authorities at least 30 days in advance if moving such items, even if they are not listed on Malaysia's current strategic goods registry, reported Reuters.
"Malaysia stands firm against any attempt to circumvent export controls or engage in illicit trade activities by any individual or company," the ministry said in a statement, adding that violators will face strict legal action.
The move aims to close regulatory loopholes while officials consider adding high-performance AI chips to Malaysia's list of strategic items.

Why It's Important: The announcement follows U.S. pressure to stop the flow of restricted chips—<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44102734/nvidia-chip-fraud-probe-malaysia-vows-necessary-action-but-admits-we-dont-know-where-servers-went">especially from</a> Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)—to China, amid mounting concerns over their use in advanced AI development and military applications.
In March, Malaysia's Trade Minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz said the country would take "necessary action" if domestic firms were involved in allegedly fraudulent Nvidia chip transshipments via Singapore.
Earlier this month, it was reported that the U.S. government is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/07/46266218/us-plans-to-restrict-ai-chip-exports-to-malaysia-thailand-to-curb-diversion-to-china">considering new export restrictions</a> on AI chips, including Nvidia's, to Malaysia and Thailand to prevent China from obtaining them through intermediaries.
Meanwhile, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is reportedly planning a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46336670/nvidia-prepares-china-specific-ai-chip-amid-us-export-curbs-as-ceo-jensen-huang-plans-beijing-visit-next-week-to-reassure-market-report">diplomatic visit to China</a>, where the company aims to launch a scaled-down version of its AI chip, modified to meet U.S. export rules.
The new chip, based on the Blackwell RTX Pro 6000 but without advanced features, could be unveiled as soon as September.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings show that Nvidia maintains solid upward momentum across short, medium and long-term periods. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound'">More detailed performance information is available here</a>.

Nvidia, Other US Origin AI Chips Shipments To China Will Now Require Trade Permits, Says Malaysia, Rule Violators To Face Strict Action

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) have both said that the fuel switch locks on the 787-Dreamliner aircraft are safe in the aftermath of the Air India crash in India&#8217;s Ahmedabad in Gujarat state last month.
What Happened: The FAA, as well as the aircraft manufacturer, released private documents claiming the fuel switch locks are safe, Reuters reported on Sunday, citing sources familiar with the matter.
"Although the fuel control switch design, including the locking feature, is similar on various Boeing airplane models, the FAA does not consider this issue to be an unsafe condition," the regulator said in a statement in the notification.
FAA also added that the fuel switch locks do not "warrant an Airworthiness Directive" on Boeing aircraft, including the 787, the report suggests.
Talk of the fuel switch locks began when India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau referred to a 2018 notification by the FAA to check the fuel lock switch on Boeing aircraft, which Air India did not undertake as it wasn't mandatory.
Why It Matters: The news comes as preliminary reports suggest that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/07/46380354/fuel-supply-was-cut-moments-before-air-india-crash-as-per-preliminary-report">fuel supply was abruptly cut off</a> to the engines moments after takeoff and could be a contributing factor to the air crash.
India's investigation of the accident was also under scrutiny as the country denied a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46133937/boeing-787-dreamliner-crash-india-shuts-door-on-un-aviation-expert-probing-plane-accident">UN aviation investigator</a> from joining the probe. The investigator, who was in the country, was denied an "observer status" by the government.
Bryan Bedford, President Donald Trump's pick to lead the FAA, was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46336395/senate-confirms-trump-pick-bryan-bedford-as-faa-chief-even-as-chuck-schumer-warns-he-will-prioritize-profits-over-passenger-safety">confirmed by the Senate</a> to lead the agency. However, the move has been criticized by Democrats and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), who accused Bedford of prioritizing profits over passenger safety.

FAA, Boeing Say Fuel Switch Locks On 787 Dreamliner Are Safe Amid Air India Crash Probe

President Donald Trump&#8217;s latest threats to impose a 30% tariff on all imports from Mexico and the European Union are drawing criticism from prominent economist Peter Schiff.
What Happened: On Sunday, in a post on X, Schiff warned against Trump&#8217;s justification for the move, which is to reduce trade deficits with these regions, which he believes are a sign of unfair economic arrangements.
Schiff disagrees with this, saying that the trade deficits are the result of deeper structural issues within the American economy and have little to do with bad or unfair trade deals. &#8220;He blames unfair trade for our deficits,&#8221; Schiff says, adding that they are instead the result of excessive debt and consumption, alongside inadequate savings and investment.

He also states that the U.S. relies on this trade deficit to compensate for these other, deeper structural issues, in a warning against Trump&#8217;s trade policies.

Why It Matters: This comes amid Trump&#8217;s latest letters on Friday, addressed to Mexico and the European Union, notifying both regions of a 30% tariff on all imports, starting August 1. In his letter, Trump cited <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46382047/trump-targets-mexico-eu-with-30-tariffs">unresolved trade imbalances</a>, alongside issues with narcotics trafficking, for this decision.
Schiff has repeatedly warned that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45404821/dollar-correction-imminent-sans-tariffs-to-reduce-the-us-trade-deficit-says-peter-schiff-minor-decline-would-make-trade-deficit-larger">only a major decline</a> in the U.S. Dollar or &#8220;very high tariffs&#8221; can help reduce trade deficits in the country. 
Without this, he says, tariffs only serve to make the trade deficit larger, with additional inflationary and interest rate pressures.
Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers held a similar view a couple of months ago, at the very onset of Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs, when he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44754763/obama-era-treasury-secretary-larry-summers-rejects-china-cheating-at-trade-narrative-we-get-ev-batteries-for-pieces-of-paper-its-a-good-deal">rejected the narrative</a> that China was cheating at trade, saying that &#8220;if China wants to sell us things at really low prices,&#8221; they should be allowed to, since &#8220;it&#8217;s a good deal for us.&#8221;

Peter Schiff Gives Trump's 30% Tariff Threat On Mexico, EU A Reality Check: America Relies On Deficits To Make Up For Excess Debt And Consumption

On Sunday, Pershing Square founder Bill Ackman posted a scathing rebuttal after Tucker Carlson implied he was part of Jeffrey Epstein's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46270547/elon-musk-reignites-jeffrey-epstein-client-list-row-adding-fuel-to-the-feud-with-trump">inner circle</a> and questioned the legitimacy of his $9 billion fortune.
What Happened: Ackman was responding to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46382335/tucker-carlson-claims-jeffrey-epstein-was-an-israeli-agent-blackmailing-us-politicians">Carlson's remarks</a> at Turning Point USA, where the former Fox News host referred to Ackman as one of the useless billionaires allegedly connected to Epstein.

Ackman, in a lengthy post on X, rejected the allegation and said he has never met Epstein, nor attended any of his parties or flown on his planes. He stated that his wife met Epstein once before they met, during her time as a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

"If this is why Tucker thinks I am in Jeffrey Epstein's constellation, it's clear he doesn't know anything about astronomy," Ackman wrote.
Ackman also provided a detailed account of how he built his wealth through investing, citing his early cold calls to Forbes 400 members, the founding of Gotham Partners and the compounding returns at Pershing Square.
He concluded by calling Carlson's comments defamatory and dishonest.
"Tucker owes me an apology. I know I am not going to get one because he is not man enough to care about the truth," Ackman said.

Ackman and Carlson did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.
Why It's Important: The controversy over the Epstein files continues to escalate, with prominent figures such as Elon Musk weighing in with major statements.
Musk has been calling for the full, unredacted release of the Epstein documents, particularly after saying that President Donald Trump is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45828121/elon-musks-bombshell-about-donald-trump-in-epstein-docs-heres-the-truth-behind-the-claim">mentioned in them</a>. Musk later withdrew the statement and removed the post from X
Microsoft Corporation's co-founder, Bill Gates, has also repeatedly voiced remorse over his ties to Epstein, who was found dead in his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/19/08/14244993/reports-jeffrey-epstein-dies-by-suicide-in-jail">jail cell in 2019</a>, with the death ruled a suicide.

Tucker Carlson Asks How Did 'Well-Connected And Super Aggressive' Bill Ackman Get His $9 Billion, Pershing Square Founder Fires Back At Epstein Smear: 'Owes Me An Apology'

Cryptocurrency veteran Samson Mow reiterated his belief in Bitcoin&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) potential to hit $1 million per coin Sunday, as the leading cryptocurrency continued to break records.
What Happened: Mow, CEO of Bitcoin technology company JAN3, wrote on X, &#8220;I know Bitcoin is going&nbsp;to add a zero. You&nbsp;know Bitcoin is going to&nbsp;add a zero. It&#8217;s just a question of when.&#8221;

Why It Matters: This isn&#8217;t the first time Mow has made such a bold prediction. Earlier in March, he projected that Bitcoin would<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/03/37698435/will-bitcoin-reach-1m-crypto-veteran-samson-mow-predicts-very-soon"> hit the $1 million mark &#8220;very soon.&#8221;</a> His forecast was based on a combination of high demand and an impending reduction in Bitcoin's supply.

Samson Mow Confident Bitcoin Is Going To Add A Zero: The Million Dollar Question Is Of 'When'

Y Combinator co-founder Paul Graham once said that aspiring entrepreneurs should ditch grand "visionary" road maps and instead launch something small that works, then follow its momentum westward like &#8220;Columbus."
What Happened: Graham, back in 2012, told attendees at Pycon during a keynote that, "Empirically, the way to do really big things seems to be to start with small things and grow them bigger," citing Microsoft&#8216;s first BASIC interpreter and Facebook's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38860816/mark-zuckerberg-recalls-his-childhood-and-facebooks-early-days-shares-top-8-memories-on-his-40th-bir">dorm-room photo</a> site as examples.
He added, "Neither Bill Gates nor Mark Zuckerberg knew how big their companies would get. All they knew was that they were onto something."
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Keynote: Paul Graham, YCombinator" width="500" height="375" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ci9L6zVbwnA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>
</figure>
Lofty business plans, he warned, force founders to project too far into an uncertain future. &#8220;Maybe it's a bad idea to have really big ambitions initially, because the bigger your ambitions, the longer they're going to take to realize and the long you're projecting into the future, the more likely you're going to be wrong,&#8221; Graham said.

Instead, he advises starting with "something that works, that you know works, that's small" and then moving when opportunity appears. "The popular image of a visionary is someone with a very precise view of the future, but empirically it's probably better to have a blurry one," he said.
Why It Matters: Graham's philosophy aligns with his essays like "Startup = Growth," where he <a href="https://www.paulgraham.com/growth.html">argues</a> that rapid iteration, rather than elaborate forecasts, defines successful startups.
Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos once said publicly that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45184305/jeff-bezos-says-the-hardest-thing-was-landing-amazons-first-million-says-he-warned-potential-backers">toughest test of his career</a> was scraping together Amazon&#8217;s first million dollars. This ties back to Graham&#8217;s philosophy of setting smaller, achievable targets since they&#8217;re likely to feel the toughest to get to.
Critics say his advice counters Silicon Valley's blitz-scale ethos, but Graham maintains incremental growth uncovers real markets and avoids over-promising.

Paul Graham Once Said Its A 'Bad Idea' To Have Lofty Ambitions Early, 'Neither Bill Gates Nor Mark Zuckerberg Knew How Big Their Companies Would Get'

Economist Justin Wolfers is once again attacking President Donald Trump, this time over the latter&#8217;s 50% tariffs on imports from Brazil.
What Happened: On Sunday, in a post on X, Wolfers questioned the rationale behind the latest U.S. tariffs imposed on the South American nation, calling it an ideologically driven move that will hurt American consumers without improving domestic supply chains.
&#8220;We now have a 50% tariff on Brazil, because it puts in jail its insurrectionists,&#8221; Wolfers says, referring to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46334793/trump-sends-lula-a-letter-imposing-50-tariffs-calls-bolsonaro-trial-a-witch-hunt-brazils-president-hits-back-will-not-accept-any-form-of-tutelage">Trump&#8217;s letter</a> to Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva last week, in which he cited the trial of former President&nbsp;Jair Bolsonaro as one of the reasons behind the tariffs.

In the post that includes a video snippet of his recent appearance on MSNBC&#8217;s Velshi, Wolfers criticized the logic of applying tariffs to commodities like copper and coffee, pointing out that they don&#8217;t lead to increased domestic supply, and as a result, are &#8220;literally a tax on Americans.&#8221;
&#8220;We can't import the mines from other countries,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We can't bring the coffee industry back to the United States — nowhere near enough.&#8221;
According to Wolfers, this is less about trade policy and more about sending a political message. &#8220;All of this is literally attacks on Americans in order to add a show of political support to a foreign insurrectionist,&#8221; he says.
&#8220;Your next coffee now comes with an insurrection infusion fee,&#8221; Wolfers says, pointing to the 50% import tariffs that American consumers will now have to bear, which he says will be in support of those who put &#8220;coup&#8221; in &#8220;coup-pucino,&#8221; a sly reference to Bolsonaro&#8217;s supporters who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/01/30324574/protestors-storm-brazils-government-buildings-president-da-silva-calls-them-fanatic-fascists">stormed Brazil&#8217;s Presidential Palace</a> in 2023.

Why It Matters: Economists were bewildered by Trump&#8217;s decision to impose a 50% tariff on Brazil last week, saying that it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46365075/trump-slaps-brazil-with-50-tariff-in-bolsonaro-spat-economists-say-it-sets-a-scary-precedent-as-trade-surplus-ignored">sets a troubling precedent</a>, given the United States&#8217; trade surplus with the nation.

He also pointed out Brazil&#8217;s $410 billion trade deficit with the U.S. over the past 15 years.
Late last week, Da Silva once again <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46359200/brazil-hits-back-at-trumps-tariff-letter-lula-says-if-hes-going-to-charge-us-50-wee-going-to-charge-him-50">reaffirmed his stance</a> on the matter, saying that Brazil would take the necessary measures to &#8220;protect its people and its companies.&#8221;
He also stated that there would be no negotiations and that &#8220;the law of reciprocity will be put into practice.&#8221; Therefore, if the nation is charged 50% tariffs on exports to the U.S., it would in turn impose 50% tariffs on American imports. 
&#8220;If he's [Trump] going to charge us 50, we're going to charge him 50,&#8221; Da Silva said on his official X account on Friday.

Analyst Notes: Citing the MVRV pricing bands, widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez said Bitcoin could go as high as $127,000.
The Market Value to Realized Value bands are used to identify potential overbought and oversold conditions in Bitcoin&#8217;s market.
