By Terry Ashton, updated July 27, 2026 Most trading ideas never get tested. A trader notices that funding rates on perpetuals tend to spike a few hours before a local top, or that a certain altcoin only trends when Bitcoin dominance is falling. The idea is reasonable. Testing it properly is where things fall apart, because that means pulling historical candles, cleaning them, writing a backtest loop in Python, handling fees and slippage, checking for lookahead bias, and then doing the whole thing again when the first result looks suspicious. QuantPilot exists to close that gap. It is an ai…

In XRP news today, David Schwartz, Ripple’s CTO Emeritus and co-creator of the XRP Ledger, publicly admitted on July 20, 2026 that he regrets selling XRP at $0.10 and 40,000 ETH at roughly $1.05 each – but he was clear that neither sale reflected a loss of conviction in crypto. Both were products of a rules-based risk-management pact he had made with his wife years earlier. The admission landed on X under his longtime handle @JoelKatz, after another user raised his history of selling XRP at $0.10 and Ethereum near $1. Obviously, I wish I hadn't done those things. But…

Film­mak­er Hayao Miyaza­ki detests being referred to as the Japan­ese Walt Dis­ney. The great ani­ma­tor and sto­ry­teller admires the gor­geous ani­ma­tion of clas­sic Dis­ney films, but finds them lack­ing in emo­tion­al com­plex­i­ty, the ele­ment he prizes above all else. Miyaza­k­i’s films are cel­e­brat­ed for their mys­ti­cal, super­nat­ur­al ele­ments, but they take shape around the human char­ac­ters inhab­it­ing them. Plot comes lat­er, after he has fig­ured out the desires dri­ving his peo­ple. “Keep it sim­ple,” he coun­sels in Lewis Bond’s short doc­u­men­tary The Essence of Human­i­ty above. An inter­est­ing piece of advice, giv­en that a hall­mark of his 60-year career is his…
