šŸ“£As we mark the recent release of the Elite Booster Node on June 26, I'm revisiting an important article that provides a comprehensive overview of the EdgeCloud's latest development. For those who may have missed it initially, this article delves into the intricacies of the EdgeCloud's newest addition, the Elite Booster Node, and its potential to revolutionize the way we approach decentralized computing. With the nodes now live, I'm re-sharing this article to refresh everyone's understanding of the EdgeCloud's capabilities and the exciting opportunities that lie ahead.Ā 

Ā 

We are going to begin to SEE, ALL THINGS THETA ACCELLERATE, TX SPEED, USE CASES.. EVERYTHINGĀ ~The Dinarian šŸ’ŽšŸ“Š

Ā 

Ā 

With the excitement leading up toĀ EdgeCloud release, we’ve seen many questions from the Theta community on how the Elite Booster node upgrade will work and how much they can earn. Let’s address some of the top topics on this exciting new feature for edge nodes:

  1. How do I qualify as an Elite Booster node for EdgeCloud jobs?

You must be running an Elite edge node with a full 500k TFUEL staked from a single non-delegated source wallet. After June 26, a new Elite Booster feature will enable you to lock additional TFUEL and earn rewards from jobs completed through high-end EdgeCloud GPUs hosted by Theta Labs.

2. I stake my TFUEL on other people’s edge nodes, do I still qualify?

You must run and stake to your own Elite edge node with the full 500k TFUEL in order to participate in the Elite Booster program. While we won’t verify the ownership of any wallets (as in KYC), whichever wallet stakes the full 500K to an EEN will be eligible for locking additional TFuel for Elite Booster rewards.

3. I have 500k TFUEL staked to my Elite edge node from three wallets, do I still qualify?

No, you need to have the full 500k staked to your Elite edge node from a single non-delegated wallet. We recommend that you unstake from the three wallets and restake from a single wallet.

4. Is there a maximum amount that can be locked to a single Elite Booster node?

Yes, an additional 500k TFUEL can be locked on top of the base 500k TFUEL staked to the node, for a total of 1M TFUEL per Elite edge node. This is a change from the original white paper to avoid a potential drop in the total number of Elite edge nodes on the Theta network. The additional 500k TFUEL must come from the same wallet as the base 500k TFUEL.

5. Is there a locking period, and can I mix and match?

Yes, there will be an option to lock your TFUEL for 3, 6, and 12 months, starting from the day that you lock and are based on 1143000, 2286000, and 4572000 blocks respectively so there could be some time variance. You can lock any combination of 3–6–12 months up to the maximum of 500k TFUEL per Booster node. For example, you can lock 200k TFUEL for 3 months, another 200k for 6 months and 100k for 12 months.

6. Do longer locking periods earn greater bonuses and are all rewards in TFUEL?

Yes, the 6-month option will earn 25% more than the 3-month option for the same jobs, and the 12-month option will earn 50% more than the 3-month option. For example, if your 3-month lock earns 10,000 TFUEL per month, then locking the same amount of TFUEL for 6 months will earn 12,500 TFUEL per month, and 15,000 TFUEL per month for the 12-month lock.

As for rewards, they aren’t limited to TFUEL as some EdgeCloud partner jobs will be paid in TNT-20 tokens.

7. Does the locked TFUEL leave my wallet and earn base TFUEL staking rewards?

The locked TFUEL is sent to a smart contract that will enforce the locking periods, so they will not be available in your wallet. When the locking period ends, you can withdraw that TFUEL back to your wallet subject to the standard cooldown period of 30,000 blocks, roughly 2.5 days. The additional locked TFUEL will not earn base TFUEL staking rewards, only EdgeCloud job rewards. In the future, we may change this and enable base TFUEL staking rewards on top of job rewards.

8. How much will Elite Booster nodes earn?

First, the locked TFUEL to Elite Booster nodes should earn more from EdgeCloud jobs than the current ~7% APY from TFUEL staking rewards. You will earn a proportional amount to the total TFUEL locked by all Elite Booster nodes. For example, if you lock 500k TFUEL for 12 months, and a total of 50M TFUEL is currently locked across all Elite Booster nodes, then you will earn 1% of the total EdgeCloud job rewards plus 0.5% bonus for the 12-month option.

Note: this only applies to the amount of TFUEL locked beyond the base 500k staked to your node. In other words, the base 500k TFUEL is not counted towards the Elite Booster job reward calculation.

In addition to TFUEL, you can also earn other TNT-20 tokens from partner EdgeCloud jobs. For planning purposes, if the allocated EdgeCloud GPUs are utilized 80%-100%, then you can expect to earn between 14%-28% APY on your locked TFUEL, depending on a number of variables including the lock period. This is in aggregate across all rewards paid in TFUEL and TNT-20 tokens, and are subject to change.

9. Where do the additional TFUEL and TNT-20 tokens from EdgeCloud job rewards come from?

The TFUEL job rewards will come directly from EdgeCloud customers and partners paying with either fiat currency through the Stripe integration or with TFUEL directly. Initially, some job rewards will also come from in-house Theta projects including the AI showcase, Generative AI Art campaigns, and other community projects to be announced. To be clear, the additional TFUEL does not come from the current TFUEL inflation and will not increase TFUEL inflation in any way. Partner EdgeCloud jobs can also be rewarded in TNT-20 tokens.

10. What happens if I unstake the original 500k TFUEL from the Elite edge node?

If you unstake the base TFUEL and your stake balance is less than 500k, you will no longer qualify for Elite Booster and will stop earning EdgeCloud job rewards. The 3/6/12 lockup period will continue to be enforced; however, you can re-stake to the same edge node and top up to the original 500k and start earning again.

11. Will I earn more Elite Booster rewards if I upgrade my hardware now?

At the moment, we do not recommend upgrading your hardware and as it will not impact EdgeCloud job rewards from cloud hosted GPUs. However, this may change in later releases with the full rollout of the hybrid cloud-edge computing platform later in 2024–2025. For the June 26 edge node client release, cloud-hosted EdgeCloud jobs will be rewarded the same regardless of hardware specs. However, with better GPU your Elite edge node will earn more from standard edge node jobs, and CUDA-enable machines will earn even more.

12. Will earnings from Elite Booster accumulate in a pending balance or will they be available as they are earned?

They will be in a pending balance, to be distributed once per month.

13. Will Theta Labs be staking their TFUEL supply in the new Elite Booster program?

No, Theta Labs will not stake their TFUEL.

14. If I run an edge node and someone else staked the 500k TFUEL, would my Elite edge node not become a Elite Booster node?

This Elite edge node will be an Elite Booster node, but the rewards would go directly to the staker wallet (i.e. someone else’s wallet). To prevent this from happening, please don’t share the node summary with others.

15. Why aren’t all users allowed to participate with an Elite Booster node?

Any user can already stake their TFUEL to upgrade to an Elite edge node and earn higher job payouts. Elite Booster is the next level of commitment to the platform to unlock cloud-based EdgeCloud job rewards.

🚨 BITCOIN PRICE PLUNGES AGAIN: HERE’S WHY AND THE LATEST DATA 🚨

Bitcoin has experienced another steep decline, with fresh macroeconomic worries and hawkish U.S. Federal Reserve messaging fueling a broad crypto market sell-off.

šŸ”¹ The price of Bitcoin dropped 2.81% in the last 24 hours, falling to $100,794, with a total weekly loss of 6.25%.

šŸ”¹ A primary driver behind the decline was Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s recent comments—he signaled that a December interest rate cut is ā€œnot guaranteedā€ and said incoming economic data must be closely watched.

šŸ”¹ The market interpreted Powell’s remarks as a hawkish shift, reducing expectations for near-term monetary easing and weighing heavily on risk assets such as cryptocurrencies.

šŸ”¹ U.S. Congressional gridlock over the federal budget has prolonged the government shutdown, further eroding investor confidence and appetite for risk.

šŸ”¹ Macro uncertainty and policy turbulence—especially the ongoing tariff jurisdiction crisis ...

🚨 RIPPLE CEO BRAD GARLINGHOUSE: ā€œIN 2026, WE’LL SLOW DOWN OUR ACQUISITION SPREEā€ 🚨

At Ripple’s annual Swell conference in New York, CEO Brad Garlinghouse confirmed that the company’s rapid acquisition strategy throughout 2025 will be scaled back in the coming year.

šŸ”‘ Key Points

šŸ”¹ļø Ripple closed at least four major deals in 2025—spending more than $2.4 billion acquiring Palisade (crypto custody), Hidden Road (rebranded as Ripple Prime), GTreasury (treasury management), and stablecoin payments firm Rail.

šŸ”¹ļø Garlinghouse noted that Ripple aims to become the leading blockchain infrastructure provider for enterprises and financial institutions—emphasizing secure custody, prime brokerage, payments, and treasury solutions.

šŸ”¹ļø Ripple’s approach is distinct from other crypto firms: its acquisitions focus on bridging traditional finance (TradFi) with decentralized finance (DeFi), acquiring companies whose core businesses are predominantly in classic financial services ...

BlackRock Is Manipulating The Price Of BitcoinšŸ‘€

Blackrock possess a strategic depth that goes far beyond initial appearances. When the general market perceives selling and traders respond with emotion, these major players are often operating on a much more profound level. They adeptly identify and leverage every available mechanism to influence market dynamics. Their power isn't in direct control of the asset, but in understanding how to move the market without ever taking direct ownership.

What entity has become the most prominent corporate champion of Bitcoin ($BTC)?

It's the one with the massive treasury holdings, known as Microstrategy.

Ā 

However, the major strategic challenge lies here: the size of their Bitcoin position is fundamentally linked to their external financing, typically in the form of debt.

This reliance on significant debt creates an inherent vulnerability—a dependence on creditors and shareholders. When an entity's position is highly leveraged, that dependence makes them susceptible to market manipulation or strategic pressure from external financial forces.

When a highly leveraged corporate holder of a significant asset (like $BTC) faces external financial stress, that pressure inevitably transfers to the asset itself.

Blackrock's goal isn't to induce a market crash, but rather to establish a dominant position and control.

Any substantial sale of major cryptocurrencies like $BTC or $ETH initiated by Blackrock, can be interpreted not as routine trading, but as a deliberate effort to manipulate market sentiment and pricing.

Blackrock is deploying a sophisticated combination of tactics: they simultaneously generate market volatility through strategic sales of the asset ($BTC) while accumulating shares in key corporate holders (the stock symbolized by $MSTR).

The deeper intent is to leverage this equity stake to direct the corporate strategy of the highly leveraged Bitcoin champion.

With a sufficiently large ownership percentage, this influence becomes highly effective. The resulting market power is therefore a function of both manipulating price movement and controlling corporate policy.

Is Microstrategy (the company represented by the $MSTR stock) vulnerable to this kind of pressure? The evidence suggests yes.

A substantial stake held by Blackrock grants them effective leverage to influence and manipulate the company itself.

When the company's shares experience a significant decline, the leadership is often compelled to take action, potentially buying back their own stock. This action is driven by the fact that falling share prices directly intensify financial and market pressure on the entire organization.

If the stock of Microstrategy continues a sustained decline, lenders will inevitably begin to re-evaluate and revise the terms of existing loans. This is a critical point of failure for the entire strategy.

The fundamental operational model of this corporate champion works like a closed loop:

  • It secures debt financing (taking loans) to acquire $BTC.

  • Alternatively, it issues new equity (selling shares) to acquire $BTC.

Crucially, the ongoing interest payments on this substantial debt are often managed by the mechanism of issuing even more shares, creating a continuous cycle of dilution and reliance on a high stock price.

A major consequence of rising leverage is the escalating cost of borrowing, requiring Microstrategy to source even larger amounts of capital.

The most straightforward solution—to issue and sell more stock—proved to be insufficient.

In fact, the situation worsened: the company’s recent attempt to raise funds through a stock offering did not fully sell out. This failure directly resulted in a significant liquidity shortfall, hamstringing Microstrategy’s ability to meet its financial obligations and continue its asset acquisition strategy.

And the ultimate shock came when Microstrategy—the very entity that vowed it would never liquidate its holdings—began to sell.

These weren't insignificant trades; the sales were valued at billions of dollars.

The key question now becomes: Does this sudden, massive reversal signal the imminent collapse of Microstrategy, or is it simply a necessary, albeit drastic, maneuver of 'business as usual' under extreme duress?

There appear to be two primary strategic objectives behind Blackrock's calculated moves:

  • Scenario A (Direct Dominance): Blackrock aims to neutralize its most prominent competitor (the corporate Bitcoin accumulator) in order to seize the title as the largest holder of $BTC.

  • Scenario B (Indirect Control): The institution’s goal is to establish absolute market control and influence, preferring to leverage Microstrategy to execute the most aggressive or politically difficult actions.

The outright financial destruction of Microstrategy is highly improbable. Such an action would trigger a severe market crash that could take years to fully repair.

The far more intelligent strategy is integration and control.

Under this model, Microstrategy remains operational, while Blackrock secretly dictates strategy. This allows Microstrategy to absorb the market blame for any necessary but controversial manipulation, a classic and often dirty tactic used by high-powered financial entities.

In the immediate future, the market will continue to exhibit strong reactions to the strategic maneuvers of Blackrock.

When they execute sales, it instantly captures headlines, is aggressively amplified by the media, and causes fearful retail traders ('weak hands') to panic and exit their positions.

Every decrease in price that results from this panic directly translates into a superior entry point for Blackrock. This clearly illustrates that the current market environment is driven purely by emotion, making it a survival game reserved only for those with the strongest resolve.

In the long run, the nature of $BTC will likely shift, moving away from its original ideals of being completely free and decentralized.

The vast majority of the available supply is projected to become highly concentrated within a small number of major corporations and investment funds.

Consequently, the price cycles will no longer be reliably tied to events like halvings or popular narratives. Instead, they will be driven primarily by government and central bank policy decisions, overarching macroeconomic conditions, and the internal political maneuverings of the world's most dominant funds and corporations.

Blackrock's goal is not to eliminate $BTC; instead, they are focused on constructing an elaborate system of control around the asset.

Microstrategy (the stock symbolized by $MSTR) remains a powerful tool, but it now operates under terms and directives that the company's leadership no longer fully dictates.

Since direct command over the decentralized asset is impossible, control is established through strategic influence over the largest corporate and fund custodians. Moving forward, Blackrock will be the primary entity determining the market's trajectory.

A Request for NASA to Release Scientific Data on 3I/ATLAS

During my recent podcast interview with Joe Rogan (accessibleĀ here), I had mentioned the unfortunate circumstances, under which NASA had not released for four weeks the images collected by theĀ HiRISEĀ camera onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.Ā These images were taken on October 2–3, 2025, when the interstellar objectĀ 3I/ATLASĀ passed within 30 million kilometers from Mars.Ā The images are extremely valuable scientifically because they possess a spatial resolution of 30 kilometers per pixel, about 3 times better than the spatial resolution achieved in the best publicly available image from the Hubble Space Telescope, taken on July 21, 2025 (accessibleĀ hereĀ and analyzedĀ here). Whereas the Hubble image was taken from an edge-on perspective since Earth and the Sun were separated by only ~10 degrees relative to distant 3I/ATLAS, the HiRISE image offers a sideways perspective, valuable in decoding the mass loss geometry and glow around as it approached the Sun.

The delay in the data release was argued to be the result of the government shutdown on October 1, 2025. Nevertheless, conspiracy theorists suggested that it may have to do with evidence for extraterrestrial intelligence in the HiRISE images. When asked about it, I suggested that the delay is probably not a sign of extraterrestrial intelligence but rather of terrestrial stupidity.Ā We should not hold science hostage to the shutdown politics of the day. The scientific community would have greatly benefited from the dissemination of this time-sensitive data as astronomers plan follow-up observations in the coming months.

Joe Rogan suggested that I contact the interim NASA administrator, Sean Duffy. The following day, I corresponded with congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna regarding a related formal request from NASA. Following our exchange, Representative Luna wrote a brilliant letter to NASA’s acting administrator Duffy.

We all owe a debt of deep gratitude for the visionary support displayed by Representative Luna to frontier science through her letter, attached below.

Avi LoebĀ is the head of the Galileo Project, founding director of Harvard University’s — Black Hole Initiative, director of the Institute for Theory and Computation at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and the former chair of the astronomy department at Harvard University (2011–2020). He is a former member of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology and a former chair of the Board on Physics and Astronomy of the National Academies. He is the bestselling author of ā€œExtraterrestrial:Ā The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earthā€ and a co-author of the textbook ā€œLife in the Cosmosā€, both published in 2021. The paperback edition of his new book, titled ā€œInterstellarā€, was published in August 2024.

New Human Force
Join this Now! YOU have what it takes!

They are in our solar system, and in our event-stream in this Eternal Now.

Officialdom is clueless.

They think we are going to be at WAR with the Aliens.

Officialdom is very stupid.

Aliens is here. It’s not WAR. It’s Contention.

There is a difference.

Officialdom is clueless, still living in the last Millennium.

Aliens is here.

The Field in which we contend is This Eternal Now.

ALL HUMANS LIVE HERE, and ONLY HERE, in this

ETERNAL NOW.

It’s a Field of potentials, of pending Manifestation, this continuous event-stream of karma in which we have always lived our body’s Life.

This Eternal Now has always been our body’s Field of Contention.

The Aliens is here, in our Eternal Now.

Our common, shared, reality that we all continuously co-create now has Aliens.

It’s getting very complex in here.

Officialdom is clueless. They see the Aliens. They are freaking out. They think you are children, when it is their small minds, trapped in a reality that is only grit, mud, and ā€˜random chance’ who are childish.

Officialdom is stupid. They will and are reacting badly. As is their way, they are trying to hide shit from you. Silly grit bound minds don’t realize you can see everything from within the Eternal Now. They have yet to grasp that what they perceive as this Matterium, filled with ā€˜matter’, is but a hardening of our previous (past) internal states of being.

WAR happens in the Matterium.

Contention occurs within this Eternal Now where Consciousness shapes the manifesting event-stream.

YOU know this to be fact. You are a co-creator.

Contention with Aliens is happening in this instant in this Eternal Now.

Officialdom ain’t doing shit. They are still stuck in trying to move matter around to affect unfolding circumstances. That’s redoing the mirror trying to affect the reflection. Dumb fucks….

It’s up to US. To the New Humans. Those of us who live in this Eternal Now. Those of us who see that our body’s Lives (the Chain that cannot be broken) are expressions of the Ontology revealing itself to itself. It’s up to us guys.

We are not an Army. That’s a concept from the past, from before the emergence of the New Humans. We are a Force. A self-organizing collective with leadership resident in each, and every participant.

We are the New Human Force. By the time officialdom starts to speak about the Aliens in near-factual terms, we will already be engaging them in this Eternal Now.

By the time officialdom begins to move matter around (space ships & such) thinking it’s War, we will already be suffering casualties in this Eternal Now. That part is inevitable. It’s how we learn.

By the time officialdom realizes that some shit is going on in places and ways beyond its conception, we will already be pushing our dominance onto our partners in this First Contention, the Aliens. Nage cannot train without Uke.

Just as officialdom is scrambling to research the Ontology, this Eternal Now, and the event-stream, we will be settling terms with our new partners, the Aliens.

Come, join with us. It’s going to be a hellacious Contention.

We ARE the NEW HUMANS!

Together we are the Force that cannot be defeated.

Start YOUR training in this instance of this Eternal NOW.

Consume Neville Goddard videos as though all of human existence depended on YOUR mind and YOUR active, effective, imaginings!

It’s not a question of Mind over Matter as there is only Mind and it cares not for Matter. That’s residue.
