Buy Bitcoin: Strive CEO Calls Mark Zuckerberg Over Meta’s Treasury
- Strive CEO Matt Cole called Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg urging him to convert a portion of Meta's $61 billion cash reserve into Bitcoin during a speech at Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas.
- Cole argued that holding cash and short-term US Treasuries exposes shareholders to monetary debasement, emphasizing the strengthening case for companies to invest in Bitcoin.
- He highlighted the global fiat debt crisis, rising M2, and the erosion of real returns, emphasizing the need for companies to consider Bitcoin for their balance sheets.
- Cole linked the monetary argument to the impact of advancing AI technology, predicting significant changes in the S&P 500 over the next decade due to AI disruption.
- His call to Zuckerberg included reference to Meta's potential dominance and the naming of his pet goat 'Bitcoin,' urging Meta to adopt a bold corporate Bitcoin treasury approach.
- Market analysts responded with predictions that a major US company, such as Meta or Microsoft, may be the first to add Bitcoin to its balance sheet, expecting a significant impact on the market.
- Skeptics cautioned against investing in Bitcoin for corporations, questioning its utility for operational purposes and suggesting that the focus should be on shareholder value and return on investment.
- Speculation around Zuckerberg's views on Bitcoin emerged, with mentions of his failed attempt to launch stablecoin Libra and his goat named 'Bitcoin,' indicating a potential inclination towards Bitcoin.
- Meta's upcoming annual meeting will include a shareholder proposal from Strive, aiming to encourage the company to adopt a corporate Bitcoin treasury approach, despite Meta's board recommending against it.
- At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $107,948, following the attention drawn by Cole's call for Meta to consider investing in Bitcoin.

Into the Super-Verse: What the heck is going on with balancing in City of Heroes Homecoming?
- City of Heroes: Homecoming's i28p2 Legacy patch notes reveal balance issues and lack of clear direction in balancing decisions.
- The current meta in the game revolves around speed, quick kills, and damage buffs, favoring certain archetypes over others.
- Balance changes in the patch do not seem to address the dominance of rush-focused gameplay, leaving some archetypes behind.
- Controllers are particularly affected by the changes, facing safety issues and potentially becoming less viable in the meta.
- The lack of a clear performance target for balancing has led to confusion and questionable decisions in the patch.
- The balance changes appear to be made based on abstract ideals rather than the actual state of the game and player preferences.
- While not all changes are negative, the overall impact of the patch on player experience and retention is a concern.
- The developers' approach to balancing seems disconnected from the unique aspects of City of Heroes' gameplay and player base.
- The lack of a comprehensive vision for game balance could result in a decline in player satisfaction and engagement.
- The patch's impact goes beyond individual characters, potentially affecting the community and overall gameplay experience.
- The importance of effective balancing and player feedback is highlighted in preparing for upcoming content releases.

LOTRO Legendarium: Could LOTRO use its monster player classes for something other than PvP?
- Lord of the Rings Online created monster player classes for PvP due to lore restrictions preventing Free Peoples from fighting each other.
- The upcoming Angmar Sorceress class raises the question of diverse uses for monster player classes beyond PvP.
- These monster classes, like Orc Reaver and Spider Weaver, offer unique race/class combinations distinct from standard player races.
- The idea of player-controlled monsters was previously explored in the original Middle-earth Online concept.
- One suggestion is to create a special PvP server where monster players can engage in free-for-all battles in Eriador.
- However, large-scale PvP may not align with LOTRO's player base, as evidenced by previous unsuccessful PvP server attempts.
- An alternative proposal is to allow monster players to undertake missions outside of the Ettenmoors, expanding their PvE experiences.
- These missions could involve tasks like infiltrating fortresses or seeking artifacts, potentially influencing PvP with buffs or siege equipment.
- Another suggestion is to introduce challenges like stealth runs for monsters in different areas of Middle-earth.
- Exploring quests and storylines for monster players beyond the PvP zone could add diversity to gameplay, though it may be a challenging prospect.
