Blockchain technology has zero value... The global banks 👀 I have been having this discussion since 2016, when I first got into blockchain and crypto. Digital assets, tokenisation and blockchain are way more interesting than just Bitcoin... www.coindesk.com/business/202...

Major UK banks execute world’s first interbank customer transactions using tokenized sterling deposits

Barclays, NatWest, and HSBC and others used tokenized deposits for remortgages and a marketplace-payment test, taking bank-issued digital cash beyond a single institution.

What about... Both situations are wrong.

Claim or a shooting war victory. Regardless of claims, we either took it or retained it by force in 1982 and the people have voted multiple times to be British. Game over

Why not make Venezuela and Puerto Rico both states? Huge win for the US. Four more senators, a bunch of new Congressmen and a whole lot of additional resources for the country. Also it's hard to argue against for political reasons.

Some facts about the Falkland Islands: Great Britain first colonised the Falkland Islands in 1592. Argentina became a nation in 1816. The Falkland Islands have voted via a referendum to be British. The rest is noise.

Do you call it X or Twitter? Personally I think the continued use of Twitter has been weaponised.

.@thectoadvisor.com is one of the best (if not the best) practitioner Analysts out there, and for this reason, he has a very different take on keynotes than I do, and that is exactly why I like chatting with him. Check out our discussion 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=3N-G...

When I go to Vegas I always take an hour out of my schedule to go fantasy watch shopping. This is what stood out. And yes I like blue dialled watches!!!

I did provide suggestions. Lean into the £. Make it the global reserve currency. Not the dollar. The UK could do this via making it a CBDC on steroids. Then we should lean into not being part of the EU. It's the situation we have for 20+ years, so make the best of it

What was the government supposed to do? Buy Huawei or SuperMicro? This is the MSM at its worst. Dell are based the US, the Government should be buying their stuff (and HPEs for that matter)

Controversial opinion - They only have 80k seats in the stadium and they are running a business. Charge the most you can per seat. If the stadium is sold out you win the game. It's not charity.

It's OK to dislike Elon Musk and think SpaceX is a solid business. It is also OK to like Elon Musk and think SpaceX's IPO target is over valued. The thinking I have a problem is: I don't like Elon Musk so therefore everything he is associated with is worthless...

Why we should all be worried about Google pushing WebMCP rather than MCP. AI is everywhere so it's hard to spot the signal from noise. So when I heard a new term coming out of Google's I/O it almost passed me by. But my spider senses started to tingle. hyperframeresearch.com/2026/05/29/g...

WebMCP may make web pages more usable for agents, but persistent enterprise automation will still depend on backend protocols, durable APIs, and governed execution layers.

Dell is coming up the stack. And I am here for it. The company obviously has a rich heritage when it comes to data and data resilience. AI deployments certainly need that expertise. Check out my chat with the team on the AI Data Platform booth 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEAt...

Dell Tech World is still living rent-free in my mind. Some events hit different. Dell Tech World last week was probably the best show I have been to in the last year for outlining some of the deep tech challenges enterprises are facing as they look to deploy AI. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCO3...

WebMCP Vs MCP Going down the rabbit hole with Stephanie Walter on a Research Note. Why are Google and Microsoft proposing a new browser based MCP standard? Because they own the commercial browser market? Or are we missing something? Welcome your perspective in the comments 👇

Steven Dickens @stevendickens3.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

We are stuck with it. Might as well try and make it work. My suggestion would be to lean into inward investment while also making the UK the most favourable place for Crypto.

Looking forward to an interesting couple of days with Nutanix I will be looking out for actual migrations and real signal on the whole VM situation. I will also be looking out for how Nutanix is positioned to provide the infrastructure for AI.
