Yes, as @solymi mentioned, the staking process takes place with $LEO on Arbitrum only (which has become the native chain for LEO).

As far as I know, you can already stake those LEO, but they will start generating you USDC on a daily basis when the current airdrop phase will have ended (in about 2 months).

As I guess that the LSTR price doesn't show up on the INLEO frontend due to the fact it's not yet tradable (thus its price doesn't change yet), I'm converting this thread into a "Time Capsule", to which I'll come back periodically, to remind me of the following:

It's pretty much the only way to move them around for now.

HiveEngine doesn't require gas fee 🤔

I think it does.. But, it takes that from the tokens you're swapping. But, if you want to transfer ETH to external wallet, it will ask for a fee to be paid in ETH. (haven't tried it. But, read it somewhere).

0

Yeah, swapping has a fee, but regular transfers, buy/sell orders etc doesn't have gasfees. Maybe some fee for using the given dex, but I'm far from sure of that 😄

THIS:

Maybe they can be brought up in the market for different reasons in future but a clarity in that from the team would be better.

this is the maximum number of tokens. you can not mint more than 1 million.

0
0
0.000

The questions are rather simple:
WHO, and at what circumstances will have all the powers to mint the remaining 900K LSTR?
Who is that person?
How exactly LSTR holders are protected from this happening one day (at somebody's plain subjective will) ?

0
0
0.000
avatar

We don't know who exactly is behind this. I guess the strategy is to mint the next 100k tokens when the current sale is sold out. Then they will be listed at a higher price and they BUY $LEO again until the next batch is sold out and then they repeat. that is how I would do it. It makes no sense to just mint them for themselves because that will not do anything for buying $LEO
as always in crypto: handle with care...

"Leostrategy" being originally born inspired by "Strategy B" and their MSTR stocks, of which they can produce more (like the recent "STRC"), my guess is that the Team has wanted a flexibility margin, based on the market's response.

It's a point I'd like to tackle during today's AMA (well, tomorrow's, for me) 😀.

My not-much-informed take:
As it is an asset backed "security", this is the case in which the "scarcity" of the supply, a classic in crypto, is not at play.
As long as the backing is "coded" into the white paper, they could activate.. 1/2

0
0
0.000
avatar

2/2 .. More $LSTR when having enough reserves to back it with them. That should not change the price whatsoever and in my case it would show that the master plan is succeeding so I would be bullish.. 😅
Again, my two sats

0

avatar

To me, minting more would not be a bad thing - if ... (and only if..) further sales don't happen at a discount (such as we experience at our intitial sale) - but at a premium (NPV taking into account future USDC Cashflows).

Minting more then would just allow the flywheel to increase faster - while the additional shares provide a small benefit for the current holders (the premium).

But yeah - this is something you would want to determine beforehand.

another advantage that @leostrategy provides is #liquidstaking similar as the stride protocol introduced on cosmos and tia.

What does this advantage mean?

  • if you stake on hive-engine and curate here you can increase the value of your position. If you want to sell, you can - but unstaking will take you some time.

  • if you buy $LSTR, they buy $LEO and staje that for you. The returns are compound staked and your position should gain more value.
    While offering you the benefit that your position remains liquid.

at cosmos this traded at a small premium for the liquidity benefit

Part 1/9:

The Rise of AI-Generated Spam and Its Disruptive Impact on Online Content

In recent years, the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) has dramatically transformed the digital landscape. While AI offers immense possibilities for innovation and efficiency, it has also given rise to a new form of spam—what some call "AI slot"—which is rapidly becoming an overwhelming problem across various platforms. Industry experts and regular users alike are expressing concern about the consequences of this surge in AI-generated content, especially when it infiltrates spaces traditionally reserved for genuine human creativity.

AI Slot: The Evolution of Spam in the Age of AI

Part 2/9:

The term "AI slot" refers to the latest evolution of spam, characterized by the rampant creation and dissemination of low-quality or misleading content generated by AI systems. An AI content detection platform’s CEO recently described the situation succinctly: "Not all AI content is spam, but right now all spam is AI content." This distinction underscores the prevalence of AI-generated spam as a dominant nuisance, cluttering digital platforms with artificially created material designed to deceive, distract, or overwhelm users.

The Deterioration of Valuable Platforms

Part 3/9:

One of the most prominent casualties of this AI-driven spam surge is Pinterest, traditionally celebrated as a hub for visual inspiration and user-curated content. A frustrated user shared her experience, lamenting how her once-loved platform had become nearly unusable due to the flood of AI-generated images. She recounted searching for "garden" on Pinterest, only to be bombarded with AI-created images, including bizarre or obviously fabricated depictions of cats and other subjects.

Part 4/9:

“Pinterest used to be my favorite app,” she explained, “a place for people to share pictures they’ve taken and for others to draw inspiration. Now, it’s just exhausting and gives me a headache every time I try to use it.” Her candid account encapsulates a broader trend—social media and content-sharing sites losing their authenticity and charm because of the overwhelming presence of AI-generated content.

Fraudulent and Fictitious Media Flooding the Internet

0
0
0.000
avatar

Part 5/9:

Beyond image-based platforms, AI-generated videos are now being exploited to create fictitious news stories that circulate as if they were real, further muddling public perception. One such example is a 37-minute video titled, "Judge finds Caroline Levit for wearing a cross—misspelled—only to discover she’s a legal genius," which has amassed over a million views.

This video dramatizes a fake courtroom scenario, complete with theatrics, third-person omniscient narration, and stylized fonts, making it compelling enough to attract viewers. The content features a courtroom confrontation where a judge criticizes Caroline Levit for wearing a cross, with dramatic dialogue and visual effects designed to mimic real news. However, it’s entirely fabricated.

0
0
0.000
avatar

Part 6/9:

Similarly, numerous fake videos portray celebrities like Brad Pitt involved in staged altercations or mock controversies, such as Pitt storming off after a heated clash with Caroline Levit. These videos share a common formula—over-the-top dramatization, fake confrontations, and exaggerated scenarios—that make them alluring but entirely fictitious.

The Challenge of Misinformation and Public Naivety

The most troubling aspect of this phenomenon isn’t just the creation of fake content but the widespread misconception among viewers. Many individuals stumble upon these AI-generated videos and believe them to be real, especially when comments under such clips reinforce their supposed authenticity.

0
0
0.000
avatar

Part 7/9:

For instance, comments praising Caroline Levit for her "victory" or "standing up for Christians" are common, with some viewers oblivious to the fact that the entire scenario is fabricated. When one commenter challenges the authenticity, suggesting the video is fake, others dismiss it outright or claim to have seen it elsewhere, exemplifying how AI-generated misinformation can easily slip into mainstream consciousness.

One particularly telling example involves a similar theme repeated across different videos, where fictitious stories about public figures like Pam Bondi are recycled, further confusing viewers and spreading false narratives under the guise of genuine news.

Broader Implications and the Need for Vigilance

Part 8/9:

This rise in AI-generated spam and disinformation poses significant challenges for online communities, content creators, and platform moderators. The erosion of trust in visual and video content threatens the integrity of digital information ecosystems and complicates efforts to combat misinformation.

As AI continues to advance, the line between real and fabricated content becomes increasingly blurred. Users are urged to develop media literacy skills and skepticism when engaging with sensational or highly stylized videos. Simultaneously, platform developers and policymakers must prioritize systems that can detect and mitigate AI-driven spam to preserve the authenticity and usefulness of digital spaces.

Part 9/9:

The emergence of AI slot as the latest iteration of spam highlights a critical juncture in online content management. While AI offers remarkable potential, its misuse—particularly in generating deceptive and meaningless spam—creates a disruptive wave that erodes trust and diminishes the quality of online experiences. As this trend accelerates, vigilance, technological innovation, and user awareness will be essential in safeguarding the digital ecosystem against the tides of AI-driven misinformation.

At first glance, it appeared that all these projects enjoyed a positive month in July. However, $ETH saw a 53% rise during this period.

0
0
0.000
avatar

Therefore, projects with TVL made up entirely of ETH should have experienced a TVL increase matching that percentage or faced actual net ETH outflows. Yet, Lido only saw a 46% rise, and Eigen recorded just a 47% gain.

0

In contrast, the 60-70% TVL spikes for delta-neutral stablecoins like Resolv and Ethena result from real new inflows rather than just ETH's price surge.

Part 1/10:

The Battle of Verdun: Myth, Reality, and Historical Debate

The Battle of Verdun, which has now stretched over a month with no clear end in sight, remains one of the most iconic and brutal engagements of World War I. Originally initiated by German Chief of Staff Erich von Falkenhayn, the battle was ostensibly part of a larger strategic plan. But was it truly a calculated effort to exhaust France through attrition, or has this narrative been reshaped by later interpretations and myths?

Falkenhayn’s Strategic Intentions: Fact or Fiction?

Part 2/10:

Falkenhayn launched the Verdun offensive under the pretense of a straightforward military objective. Conventional wisdom suggests that he aimed to bleed France dry—the classic "war of exhaustion"—by forcing the French into a battle of attrition at a symbolic and strategically significant location.

However, some argue that the real motivations were more complex. Verdun, while symbolically important for France, was not necessarily a critical military target for the Germans. Falkenhayn’s plan was less about capturing the fortress itself and more about draining French strength and morale—a strategy of Ausblutung, or bleeding the enemy dry.

Falkenhayn’s Post-War Claims and the Question of Documentation

Part 3/10:

In 1919, Falkenhayn insisted in published articles and his memoirs that Verdun was a deliberate effort to exhaust France. He referenced a supposed memorandum to Emperor Wilhelm II, written on Christmas of 1915, outlining a plan for systematic attrition. Yet, this document has never been verified; no authentic copies have ever surfaced.

This absence has sparked significant debate among historians. Many have challenged the authenticity of this so-called memorandum, suggesting it might be a post-war invention or a myth created to justify the failure of the German campaign. When the German army archives were destroyed in 1945, traces of this memo vanished, fueling skepticism.

The Reality of the Memory and Historical Debate

Part 4/10:

Some scholars, like Paul Jankowski, argue that the idea of the "memorandum" is more of a myth—a politically convenient myth that emerged after the war to rationalize the Germans’ failure at Verdun. This view points out that contemporaneous reports and the accounts of other military leaders largely do not support Falkenhayn's claims of a premeditated, attritional plan.

Instead, early wartime planning and Falkenhayn’s own statements indicate a focus on attacking Belfort and other sectors. The emphasis on Verdun as a strategic linchpin appears to have developed later, possibly as a way to explain the extraordinary sacrifices made by the French army.

Part 5/10:

Falkenhayn was a notoriously secretive and contentious figure. Many of his top commanders, including Paul von Hindenburg, Erich Ludendorff, and political figures like the Chancellor Bethmann-Hollweg, regarded him with suspicion or outright hostility. His isolation from the broader German leadership meant that he tightly guarded his plans, often communicating them only in secret.

He believed strongly that victory on the Western Front would determine the war’s outcome, dismissing the idea that Russia could be decisively defeated or that other fronts deserved primary focus. His entire strategic outlook centered on exhausting France, viewing Verdun as a means to that end.

Verdun as a Component of Larger German Strategy

Part 6/10:

Some contemporary military leaders argued that Verdun was merely one part of a broader German strategy—an effort to provoke a French response that would then allow Germany to counterattack elsewhere. Cited accounts from generals like Groener and von der Schulenberg suggest that Falkenhayn envisioned Verdun as a starter, aiming to force the French to transfer troops from other sectors, thereby weakening their overall position.

Crown Prince Wilhelm even mentioned that proof of the larger plan was in Falkenhayn’s intentions to trigger a general chain reaction of offensives and counteroffensives, aimed ultimately at breaking the Allied front line.

Was Verdun the Starting Point or a Misconceived Objective?

Part 7/10:

Initial plans by Falkenhayn leaned towards tactics, such as partial offensives and local counterattacks, with the hope of sapping the enemy’s resources. He was skeptical about breaking through the heavily fortified French lines.

By late 1915 and early 1916, the focus shifted to Verdun, but whether it was a calculated move to set off a larger strategic chain reaction remains debated. Many suggest that Verdun was less an end in itself and more an effort to bleed the French armies to exhaustion—an idea that the Germans believed would eventually induce a French collapse.

The Myth of the Memorandum and Modern Reassessment

Part 8/10:

Over the decades, the narrative grew around Falkenhayn’s alleged "Christmas memorandum," which supposedly detailed plans for systematic attrition. French and international historians once took this document at face value, viewing it as evidence of the German strategy.

However, starting in the late 20th century, scholars began to scrutinize this narrative critically. By 2008, French-German historical studies declared the memorandum a forgery or at least a myth, suggesting that it was created post-war to rationalize failures.

The Uncertainty Remains

Part 9/10:

Due to Falkenhayn’s secretive nature, the absence of verifiable documents, and the destruction of archives, definitive conclusions remain elusive. Some believe he genuinely pursued a war of attrition, while others see the "memorandum" as a post-war invention—a way to explain the inexplicable horrors of Verdun.

What Does History Say?

The current consensus leans toward skepticism regarding the memorandum's authenticity. Instead, many experts view Verdun itself as a product of military and political motives, influenced by the desire to bleed the French army and boost German morale, rather than a meticulously planned operation from the outset.

Part 10/10:

The Battle of Verdun stands as a symbol of the brutal, attritional warfare that characterized the First World War. Its origins and strategic purpose remain shrouded in controversy, illustrating the complexities of wartime decision-making and memory.

If you want to explore this topic further, critical works by historians like Paul Jankowski and Alistair Horne offer in-depth analyses of Verdun and its place in history. Whether Falkenhayn’s "memorandum" was real or fabricated, the battle’s legacy continues to provoke reflection on the nature of war and memory.

Not a good day in Eastern Newfoundland. Thankfully I am on the West coast of Newfoundland.

As fire crews continue to fight an out of control wildfire in Conception Bay North, an immediate evacuation order has been issued for the Town of Western Bay.

Evacuees are advised to head north on route 70 and to register with the Canadian Red Cross at the reception centre at Persalvic School Complex in Victoria.

A statement form the province issued at 11:30 p.m. Monday said the evacuation order is "stemming from extreme wildfire behaviour in the area."

Part 1/11:

The Hidden Wounds of War: An Exploration of Shell Shock During World War I


War has always left its mark not only on landscapes and nations but also on the minds and bodies of those who fight its battles. One of the most profound and haunting legacies of the First World War was the phenomenon known as shell shock—a mysterious and often misunderstood condition that affected countless soldiers. As historian Indy Neidell explains in this episode from The Great War series, shell shock was a complex physical and psychological injury that challenged contemporary medical understanding and societal perceptions of mental health.


The Emergence of Shell Shock in World War I

Part 2/11:

During the early battles of WWI, such as the Battle of Mons, military and medical authorities faced new challenges: soldiers who showed no physical wounds yet exhibited severe symptoms. It was here that the term shell shock was born in 1915 in Britain, although the symptoms had existed long before—traced in ancient texts like Gilgamesh and by historians like Herodotus.

Part 3/11:

Historically, these symptoms had been labeled by different names, reflecting societal attitudes of each era. For example, during the Napoleonic Wars, it was referred to as "bullet wind"—a supposed reaction to being struck close to death. During the American Civil War, the same phenomena were called "soldier's heart." Over centuries, the condition was recognized under various titles, but WWI marked a scale of manifestation previously unseen, affecting nearly 80,000 British soldiers and countless others in the German and French armies.


The Medical and Cultural Context of Shell Shock

Part 4/11:

The scale of shell shock forced the fields of neurology and psychology to confront these unexplained symptoms. But what exactly caused this condition? Was it physical brain damage caused by exploding shells, or purely psychological trauma?

Initially, many believed the symptoms resulted from physical injury—high-velocity projectiles causing inner ear pressure or sudden shocks to the nervous system. Belgian doctor Octave Laurent suggested that the intense pressure from exploding shells inflicted physical trauma, and this was the dominant school of thought at first. However, as cases proliferated, a psychological explanation gained ground, especially considering the similarity of symptoms to hysteria—a disorder historically linked to emotional distress rather than physical injury.

Part 5/11:

Diagnosing and Treating Shell Shock

Treating shell shock proved remarkably challenging. Traditional methods ranged from electrical therapies—like the induction of currents named after Michael Faraday—to psychoanalytic approaches focusing on uncovering repressed memories. Some treatments involved re-experiencing traumatic memories through dialogue therapy, yet ethical and practical concerns persisted.

The condition's severity and the possibility of faking it further complicated treatment. Soldiers could simulate symptoms to escape the horrors of front-line duty, raising questions about how to distinguish genuine cases from malingering. Moreover, recovering soldiers posed the dilemma: should they be returned to the front, risking relapse, or kept away from combat indefinitely?

Part 6/11:

International Divergences in Understanding and Approaches

Treatment strategies varied widely worldwide. In Germany, the phenomenon was linked to military hysteria and was sometimes dismissed outright to avoid financial liability. After the 1884 British accidental injury insurance law, which compensated victims of industrial accidents, a similar logic was applied to soldiers—prompting resistance to acknowledging shell shock as a brain injury or psychological ailment worth compensation.

Part 7/11:

In Germany, authorities established systems to isolate and care for soldiers affected by shell shock, forming specialized centers and work environments aimed at "repairing" the psychological damage without admitting weakness. Conversely, in France, aggressive and sometimes brutal methods were employed—such as inducing symptoms through suggestion or even harm—to break hypnoid states and reinforce soldier resilience.

Russia and Italy observed and responded differently, with Russia proposing dedicated hospitals and treatment centers as early as 1916, although political upheaval soon curtailed these efforts.


The Impact on Soldiers and Society

Part 8/11:

Research shows that officers and certain units experienced a higher proportion of shell shock, suggesting a form of contagious psychological distress. For instance, in the Battle of the Somme, units experienced a shock rate as high as 40%, emphasizing epilepsy-like or mass hysteria phenomena.

W.H.R. Rivers, a British neurologist, emphasized the importance of understanding soldiers' feelings of helplessness, loss of control, and inner conflict. His work highlighted that shell shock was often rooted in the soldiers’ fear, shame, and sense of failing as men, which needed acknowledgment and compassionate treatment.


Changing Perspectives: From Weakness to Validation

Part 9/11:

Initially viewed as sign of moral weakness or cowardice, attitudes gradually shifted. The recognition that shell shock could be a temporary, non-heritable reaction to extreme stress helped to destigmatize the condition. This evolution represented a broader acceptance of mental health struggles in wartime, understanding that trauma was an inevitable consequence of the horrors faced on the battlefield.

Post-war, the scars of shell shock became a symbol of the war’s trauma—etched into the collective consciousness through stories of nightmare, anxiety, and paralysis. It laid the groundwork for modern understanding of PTSD, illustrating that mental wounds could rival physical injuries in their devastating effects.


Conclusion: The Legacy of Shell Shock

Part 10/11:

Shell shock remains one of the most poignant reminders of the gruesome reality of war—not just on the battlefield but deep within the psyche of those who fought. The condition challenged the boundaries of medicine, society, and morality, revealing the human cost beyond mere casualties and battles. It prompted innovations in psychological treatment, influenced international medical policies, and fostered a greater understanding of trauma.

Part 11/11:

As Indy Neidell concludes, the story of shell shock is a significant chapter in war history—one that reflects the profound need for compassion, understanding, and acceptance of mental health issues in the face of unimaginable horrors. This episode, and the series as a whole, underscores that war's true toll extends beyond physical injuries to the very soul of those who survive it.
