No se imaginan la risa que me da recordar que el mismísimo Borges conoció a la encarnación del bostero platónico que inspira este famoso meme:

Takenos has reached a million users across Latin America.
None of them came for stablecoins. They came for access to US dollar value.
Learn why @TakenosApp has taken off across Argentina, Bolivia, and beyond from CEO @lucasexequiel.

Escribí este artículo sobre cómo se pueden aplicar conceptos de las Ciencias del Comportamiento al marketing en fintech. Poco bullshit y mucho efecto real, con ejemplos y gráficos.

En Paraguay tenemos una obsesión absurda con PayPal.
Todo el mundo sigue esperando que PayPal llegue y nos "salve la vida", cuando en realidad es una plataforma del 2005: comisiones altísimas, tipo de cambio horrible y cuentas bloqueadas sin aviso.
Lo que Paraguay necesita de verdad es una forma real de cobrar del exterior, mover dólares y bajarlos a Guaraníes sin perder plata en el camino.
Y esa solución ya existe: se llama Takenos 🇵🇾🚀
Si trabajás remoto, hacés freelance o vendés servicios afuera, esto es todo lo que podés hacer desde Paraguay:
1️⃣ Cuenta en USA a tu nombre (ACH / Wire)
Para recibir pagos directos de clientes en el extranjero o plataformas como Upwork, Deel, Fiverr, Stripe y Workana.
2️⃣ Bajar tu plata a Guaraníes directo a tu banco
Cobrás tus dólares y los transferís a tu cuenta bancaria local en Paraguay (Itaú, Ueno, Continental, etc.) en minutos. Sin vueltas ni intermediarios raros.
3️⃣ Tarjeta internacional
Te dan una tarjeta para pagar suscripciones (OpenAI, Ads de Meta, Google, software) o hacer compras online en dólares directo con tu saldo.
4️⃣ Depositar en Guaraníes
Si necesitás fondear saldo en dólares para pagar servicios o mandar dinero afuera, podés depositar Guaraníes desde tu banco local y convertirlos dentro de la app.
5️⃣ Retiros en USD o Stablecoins (USDT/USDC)
Máxima flexibilidad para mover tu plata como vos quieras.
Dejemos de esperar soluciones viejas del exterior cuando ya tenemos herramientas pensadas 100% para resolvernos la vida a los paraguayos.
Crearte la cuenta te toma 2 minutos.

This conversation with @RickRubin is special. Here's a 2 minute preview that I’ve watched 15 times.
The episode will be out tomorrow:

Look guys, it's actually really straightforward, a bunch of people staked their ETH on the Ethereum blockchain to earn yield, except they didn't want their capital to be locked up, so they actually staked with a liquid staking protocol called Lido who provided them a liquid staking receipt token called stETH, except they decided to juice their yield further by depositing their stETH receipt tokens into a restaking protocol called Eigenlayer, except they didn't want to lock up their capital, so they actually restaked with a liquid restaking protocol called KelpDAO who provided them with a liquid restaking receipt token called rsETH, except they decided to juice their yield further by depositing their rsETH tokens into a lending protocol called Aave so that they could open a leveraged looping position that borrows ETH against the rsETH collateral and restakes the ETH into rsETH which is then deposited as collateral, except it turns out rsETH used a cross-chain bridge called LayerZero that was hacked by north koreans causing rsETH to become undercollateralized and now these looping positions are stuck and unprofitable, and everyone is pointing fingers at each other, and also DeFi is a very serious industry

Te da paja integrarlo ?
No pasa nada !
Pedile a tu cursor o claude que aprenda como hacerlo usando context7 o leyendo el README del repo.
Si usas cualquier modelo como la gente es un one-shot garantizado. (minimax abstenerse)

Stablecoins aren’t just tokens. They’re an entire technology stack.
Issuance. Settlement. Infrastructure. Distribution.
And here’s the real shift:
Companies are no longer picking a single layer, they’re moving up and down the stack.
👉 New payment-native settlement chains are emerging.
👉 Stablecoin issuance is becoming a product choice, not a side experiment.
👉 Infrastructure is abstracting away blockchain complexity (custody, compliance, cards, orchestration).
👉 Distribution makes stablecoins completely invisible to the end user.
The winners won’t be the ones launching yet another coin.
They’ll be the ones connecting the stack end-to-end, and moving money instantly, globally, and compliantly.

I’ve read The Making of Prince of Persia cover to cover many times. It’s a remarkable account of how technical constraints can catalyze one of the most fun game designs. It’s a field guide to turning limits into taste.
@jmechner's notes on tools, playtesting, and second‑guessing also keep it oddly suspenseful. You watch him find the game by engineering the constraints.
If you care about product craft, software, or creative process, this time capsule hits like a masterclass.

Founders, building a company is THE hardest thing in the world. It’s borderline delusional.
There will be a lot of naysayers and people dunking on you for trying.
Ignore them - it’s hard but do it. Find the choice few who are as convicted as you and go change the world.

🇧🇴 This week El Dorado became Bolivia's 7th most-downloaded finance app on the App Store!
We’re the fourth most popular crypto app in the country, listed above Airtm, Meru, Bybit, Bitget, and others.
LATAM’s Stablecoin-Powered SuperApp is accelerating the adoption of @tether & @USDC on @arbitrum, by connecting them with the region’s 80+ Top Finance Apps, across 8 countries.
