Bundesbank Pitches Phase-in To Salvage Banks’ AT1 Debt Overhaul
The Bundesbank is proposing giving European banks more than five years to overhaul how they use additional Tier 1 debt, as it seeks to salvage a controversial proposal to streamline banks’ capital structure. “To get to that ideal world we described, you need a transitional period,” Executive Board member Michael Theurer said in an interview. “It would need to be more than five years, given a change like this. You have to calibrate the capital requirements in a way that there is no additional need for capital in the system.”.

The Kid Whisperer: How to teach a kid to not use hurtful words
Dear Kid Whisperer, I’m a sixth-grade teacher. My teaching partner has a student who has always been hard, these last couple weeks especially. He’s had to practice a lot lately. Instead of writing his name on his assignment, he wrote an offensive word. He already had a talking-to about using this specific word last year. How would you address this? Answer: Woe be unto the teacher who warns and/or lectures kids about their serious or chronic behaviors. We call it “Warning Therapy.” More on that in a moment. First, teachers need to understand that they are not like most people. Teachers tend to be adults who liked school more than most people. I know this because teachers all took a job that involves them spending an extra 30 years in school. People who enjoyed school are (generally) agreeable people who, when told not to do something by a teacher think, “Well, this person seems like they have my best interests at heart, so I’ll stop doing the thing they want me to stop doing.” When these agreeable people become teachers, they have a hard time understanding kids who don’t just do as they are told. Thank goodness you have me. I am a disagreeable person. I became a teacher because I hated school, and I wanted to make school better for kids. I identify with this kid because I was this kid who you are talking about. My wife would say that I still am that kid who you’re talking about. Kids like this kid (and me) will not improve their behavior when you apply Warning Therapy. That means that when a difficult kid hears a warning or a lecture, but the teacher takes no action, that kid gets the following message: “You can do that behavior at least one time and I’m not going to do anything about it, so please continue, and perhaps experiment, just for funsies, with doing it twice.” Kids don’t really listen when we talk, but they do tend to notice when we act. We should set a limit once and then follow through with a Delayed Learning Opportunity prefaced with love and empathy. Here’s how I would do it with this student at a non-instructional time with no other kids around. It will occur sometime after I have delayed this opportunity to learn later. Here’s what happens later: Kid Whisperer: Dude. Oh, dude. You are really struggling with remembering not to use really mean words on your papers. Kid: Whatever! I’ll write whatever I want! Kid Whisperer: I think this might be partially my fault. I talked to you about this, but I didn’t give you a chance to learn about why this word is so hurtful, and why it isn’t allowed to be used in school. I’m sorry about that. Kid: Whatever! Can I just go?? Kid Whisperer: I got you these resources about why that word can be hurtful so that you know not to use it. I have a video and excerpts from books. You can read them, and watch them, and we can talk about them, and then you can write about what you learned. Once you understand why that word is a word that we don’t use in school, you will come up with a list of things that you will do or say instead of using these mean words when you feel like using them. Once you have the plan, we’ll be done with all of this. Kid: Whatever! This is stupid! Kid Whisperer: Oh, dude. I don’t argue. Here are your materials. Let me know if you need any help. At this point, this student has two choices: He can either learn one lesson or two. He could be cooperative and solve the problem that he has been asked to solve. His other option is to refuse to solve the problem. As long as we stay firm and offer the opportunity to solve the problem that he caused during most or all non-instructional time until he agrees to solve his problem, Kid will learn an even more important lesson first: that refusing a reasonable request from an authority figure doesn’t get you out of trouble and doesn’t get you what you want. No matter what he chooses to do, he will learn to be a better person through your expert instruction! ©2025 Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

5 Best Cryptos to Buy Now with Another Big Gains Phase Around the Corner
Market sentiment has begun to tilt toward assets that combine cultural momentum with evolving utility. Capital is flowing back into projects that either solve practical frictions or capture intense community attention, and the five names below sit squarely at that intersection. Each offers a different risk/reward profile: meme-derived tokens with infrastructure ambitions, NFT-rooted ecosystems transitioning to token-led narratives, utility-native tokens with real-world use cases, and protocols building for agentic, on-chain commerce. 1. Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Little Pepe has emerged as a textbook example of a meme project that refuses to stay one-dimensional. Little Pepe is currently in the midst of its presale, priced at around $0. 0022 in Stage 13, with over $27. 4 million raised and more than 16. 6 billion tokens sold so far. What makes this project notable is that it positions itself not just as another meme-coin, but as a Layer-2 EVM-compatible network built for fast, low-fee transactions, zero tax on transfers, and a meme-centric ecosystem. In a market crowded with tokens that promise hype but deliver little, Little Pepe’s combination of community buzz, structural utility, and a staged presale gives it a distinct vantage. Presales often allow early participants to capture asymmetric gains before a broader listing, and here the listing price is speculated to be higher. 2. Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) PENGU is now showing signs that a breakout may be building: technical momentum is aligning, with bullish structures forming and “smart money” inflows increasing. Recent on-chain activity and marketplace dynamics show episodic demand spikes that traders can exploit, and the project’s recognition in NFT circles provides a defensible narrative moat. For those who prefer exposure to culture-first crypto with a path to recurring revenue and broader adoption, Pudgy Penguins stands out as an uptrend candidate. Market listings and volume data reflect renewed trader interest. 3. Aster (ASTER) Aster presents as a mid-cap token with substantive on-chain activity and liquidity across major exchanges. The token’s market metrics point to a live ecosystem with significant circulating supply and frequent trading, attributes that matter when momentum returns to the market. Aster’s roadmap centers on expanding use cases and developer tooling that could capture real utility beyond speculative flows, and its market capitalization indicates institutional-sized attention without the blue-chip premium. For investors seeking a balance between growth potential and tradability, Aster’s profile makes it an attractive intermediate bet in a bullish regime. 4. Telcoin (TEL) Recent regulatory developments and product rollouts have put Telcoin back on the radar of macro traders looking for tokens with a plausible path to real-world revenue. The project’s emphasis on partnering with telcos and enabling low-cost remittances positions it to benefit from broader crypto-onboarding flows as compliance frameworks mature. Notably, recent updates around banking integration and regulatory milestones signal that Telcoin is moving from experimental use cases toward operational partnerships that scale. That kind of progress tends to compress downside risk and amplify upside in bull phases. 5. Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) Virtuals Protocol is building a society of AI-driven agents designed to autonomously generate services, transact on-chain, and capture value through programmable commerce. The vision is ambitious: not just tokens or NFTs, but an agentic layer that creates sustained, fee-bearing activity. Token metrics show meaningful market capitalization and trading volume, which matter for any thesis that depends on liquidity and adoption. In a market rotation toward tokens that enable new classes of on-chain economic activity, Virtuals Protocol’s combination of AI, developer tooling, and a venture-style ecosystem gives it the structural upside that often powers breakout moves during the next leg up. Position Sizing and Final Perspective Each recommendation above represents a distinct route to upside: meme-to-infrastructure, culture monetization, scalable utility, payments rails, and autonomous agent commerce. In a bullish market phase, timing, momentum, utility, and narrative all matter. For investors seeking the kind of opportunities that often make headlines in a major crypto bull run, these projects merit attention. When the next wave hits, all five highlighted tokens will surge hardest, and the time to position ahead of that move may be now.

Crypto firms call for ‘immedeate’ regulatory clarity in letter to President Donald Trump
A coalition of over 65 crypto firms, led by the Solana Policy Institute, has addressed a letter to U. S. President Donald Trump, calling for immediate executive action to clarify digital asset regulations and push forward crypto-friendly tax and enforcement policies through federal agencies. In the Nov. 20 letter, the coalition urged the administration to act swiftly on a series of targeted measures designed to ensure that “the United States remains the best place in the world to build, invest, and innovate.” The letter takes inspiration from recommendations outlined in the President’s Working Group Report on Digital Assets, which was released earlier this year, said the Solana Policy Institute, alongside crypto firms such as Coinbase, Uniswap Labs, and Exodus, among others. According to them, federal agencies like the Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Justice Department can take “immediate steps” without waiting for new legislation from Congress. Clarify crypto taxation First, the group has asked Trump to clarify how staking and mining rewards are taxed by directing the Treasury to treat them as self-created property that is taxed only upon sale or conversion. Among other asks, they also called for implementing a “de minimis tax rules” such as a $600 exemption for small crypto transactions, and establishing proper definitions that clarify that activities like bridging and wrapping tokens are not taxable events. Crypto-friendly Senator Cynthia Lummis has already introduced a digital asset tax bill earlier this year that proposes similar measures, including ending the double taxation of miners and setting a lower reporting threshold, which could complement the administrative actions now being sought. Establish developer protections Next on the list is a call for greater protection of developers, especially as concerns have mounted around recent verdicts involving the creators of Samourai Wallet, who were sentenced to prison for building privacy-focused crypto tools that prosecutors linked to illicit use. A similar high-profile case involves Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm, who was convicted of operating an unlicensed money transmission business, even though his involvement was limited to publishing open-source code. The group urged the Justice Department to drop the case against Storm and recognize that “Storm’s work on Tornado Cash represents the publication of open-source software not a financial crime.” “Doing so will further support that code is speech under the First Amendment and signals that the U. S. will protect innovation,” the group said. As such, they have asked the president to “encourage the SEC’s Crypto Task Force to coordinate with the Divisions of Corporation Finance, Investment Management, and Trading and Markets to issue interim guidance, no action, and exemptive relief clarifying that developers of source-available, permissionless protocols and front-ends are not subject to enforcement while related rulemaking proceeds.” Other agendas Beyond the aforementioned priorities, the coalition has called for stronger interagency coordination to streamline how crypto is regulated across federal departments and to create consistent expectations for both builders and users. They want the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to publicly affirm support for self-custody, and have urged the agencies to “utilize their existing authority to provide exemptive relief for digital assets and DeFi technology” in line with recommendations from the President’s Working Group Report on Digital Assets. Finally, the letter calls for updated guidance from FinCEN that would make clear the Bank Secrecy Act does not apply to noncustodial blockchain software, consistent with earlier agency positions.

How you’re charging your tablet is quietly ruining the battery – here’s how experts do it instead
Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET’s key takeaways Unplug at 100%, and keep the battery between 20% and 80%. Avoid draining to 0%; store unused tablets at 50%. Use certified chargers to prevent stress and overheating. As someone who uses a tablet daily, I’m constantly looking for ways to make its battery last longer. However, some habits you don’t think twice about could actually be hurting your battery over time. There are ways to extend your tablet’s battery life, and there are some things you should avoid that do the opposite. Also: I tried this massive 25-inch Android tablet for a week and it surprised me Most tablets offer six to eight hours of use on a single charge, though battery life diminishes with age and continued use. While there are many things you can do to conserve battery life, here are the ones you should avoid to ensure your battery’s longevity. 1. Leaving your tablet plugged in overnight This isn’t always a problem with newer tablets, but most tablets on the market will suffer from being left plugged in overnight. Tablets typically charge to 100% and stop using electricity. However, leaving your tablet plugged in can cause it to continue trickle-charging to keep the battery full, which can stress the battery over time and diminish its lifespan. Instead, unplug your tablet when its battery reaches 100%. As a rule of thumb, it’s best to keep your battery charged between 20% and 80%. Also: Unplugging these 7 common household devices helped reduce my electricity bill Like all the common charging mistakes we make with our tablets, leaving it plugged in overnight once or twice won’t permanently damage it. Battery damage happens when these incorrect practices become a habit and are followed often. 2. Letting the battery drain to 0% (and forgetting it) I’ve been guilty of letting my tablet’s battery drain to 0%, only to set it aside and forget to charge it for a couple of days. Repeatedly letting your battery drain to 0% makes it age much faster, risking battery death and requiring a replacement or repair to revive it. I’ve unfortunately learned this the hard way after leaving my discharged Nintendo Switch Lite in a drawer for a couple of months, only to learn that its battery had been irreparably damaged. Lithium-ion batteries are simply not meant to stay empty, so most tablets don’t truly hit 0% when they shut down. Instead, they shut down with a little charge to protect the battery, which is why a low-battery screen appears when you try to turn them on. If you leave your tablet with a drained battery for days, weeks, or months, the battery continues to slowly discharge until the voltage drops too low, potentially damaging the battery’s internal chemistry. Also: 8 reasons why I replaced my Kindle with an iPad Mini for reading ebooks Repeatedly doing this results in a battery that is less capable of holding a charge or, worse, incapable of recharging altogether. To prevent this and prolong your battery’s life, avoid letting the battery drop below 20%. If you won’t use your tablet for some time, charge it to 50% capacity and shut it down before storing it. 3. Using the wrong charger Your local dollar store may be a good spot to get party and craft supplies, but not electronics. No matter how enticing the idea of buying a $1 charger seems, it’s probably best to avoid it. Using a cheap, non-certified, or incorrect charger for your tablet can deliver inconsistent power, overcharge it, or result in inefficient charging. All of these cause increased strain on your battery and a shorter lifespan. Using the wrong charger on your battery can do more than simply prolong its charging time. If a charger’s wattage isn’t properly matched to the battery, it can overheat your device as it struggles to supply enough power, or even overload the tablet’s circuits if it can’t regulate the power draw. Cheap chargers can also deliver fluctuating voltage, which stresses the battery and wears out its chemistry. Also: The new iPad Pro’s biggest upgrade isn’t the M5 chip I’d buy it for this feature instead Many certified chargers, like Apple-certified or USB-PD ones, have built-in safety measures that off-brand and cheap chargers skip. These measures prevent surges and overheating that could damage the battery and charging port. When charging your tablet, it’s best to look for a charger that is either certified or properly matched for your device, from the cable to the brick.
