FAQs
Memecoin Shiba Inu (CRYPTO:) is in the spotlight again, and experts are forecasting that it may be set to rally up to 3,000% and even replace long-time favorite(CRYPTO:) as the best meme coin by 2026, as reported by Benzinga.Experts such as Kevin Capital, a popular Dogecoin analyst, and more recent findings by Finder indicate that Shiba Inu could surpass Dogecoin's growth during the next crypto bull cycle, perhaps as early as 2026 or within the 2028–2029 market cycle, as per the report.As per a Benzinga report, SHIB may soon surpass DOGE, which will intensify the rivalry between these two community-backed digital assets.Presently, Dogecoin enjoys a commanding position with a market capitalisation of around $35.69 billion, and Shiba Inu stands at approximately $8.27 billion, as reported by Benzinga. But if the growth rate of Shiba Inu triples that of Dogecoin, then all those figures could change overnight, according to the report.ALSO READ: Emergency landing: United Airlines Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner suffers mid-Air engine failure after takeoff To put this into context, when Dogecoin's price increases 1,000% to about $2.61, Shiba Inu would have to rise 3,000% from its present price of merely $0.00001404 to reach about $0.000435, a leap that would send its market value soaring to more than $256 billion, as per the Benzinga report.While there is excitement, specialists warn that Shiba Inu still has challenges ahead, according to the report. Compared to some cryptos popularising with institutional investors, Shiba Inu has not yet gained institutional adoption, as no asset managers have filed for a SHIB spot ETF, as per the Benzinga report.Additionally, the anonymous development team for the project continues to generate doubts regarding governance and responsibility, elements widely believed to be determinants for sustained price growth and investor trust, according to the report.Benzinga has asked investors to treat these projections with caution, as per the report. Since the three-times-growth assumption relies on unverified catalysts such as broader market conditions, technological advancements, or regulatory changes, according to the Benzinga report. While meme coins are notoriously volatile, and past performance is not indicative of future results, as reported by Benzinga.ALSO READ: Novo Nordisk stock plunges 23% after cutting sales forecast and naming Mike Doustdar as new CEO Analysts think it's possible if Shiba Inu grows three times faster than Dogecoin in the next crypto bull cycle.Market trends, technological advances, and regulatory changes, as per the report.

The difficult path for Trump's ‘one big budget bet'
The most debated government downsizing reform that has been implemented in recent history has been the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative under the Donald Trump administration in its second term. The initiative aims to reduce U.S. federal spending, deficit, debt and interest burden, streamline government operations, and enhance government efficiency. The initiative was much in the news with the appointment of Elon Musk, to advise and guide the government on the initiative, and his declaration that the overall goal is to achieve a leaner government by cutting the deficit and reducing the number of federal agencies from over 400 to 99. Root cause of deficit and debt The need for a smaller government was felt by the Trump administration due to enormous government spending and deficits. The size of the U.S. government, measured by public expenditure as a percentage of GDP, on average, was 36.49% from 2001 to 2024. Surprisingly, this was the smallest among the seven major advanced economies (MAE). France (56.53%) had the largest government, followed by Italy (49.81%), Germany (46.64%), Canada (41.24%), the United Kingdom (41.09%), and Japan (37.56%). The size of the government in the U.S. has remained the smallest among the MAE for most of the last 25 years. Yet, overall fiscal balance and government debt have been higher in the U.S. when compared to the MAE. In the triennium ending (TE) 2024, the U.S. had a fiscal balance and debt burden of (-)6.0% and 119.5% of GDP, respectively, compared to the figures of (-)4.1% and 108.6%, respectively, for the MAE. The underlying reason is the lower revenue collection in the U.S. The total revenue of the U.S. government as a percentage of GDP on an average was the lowest (30.55%) during the period 2001–2022 compared to France (51.48%), Italy (45.93%), Germany (44.93%), Canada (39.92%), and the U.K. (36.63%). Between 2001 and 2022, the U.S. has clocked the lowest tax-GDP ratio of 19.27% as against 28.59% for Italy, 28.12% for France, 27.99% for Canada, 26.89% for the U.K., 22.70% for Germany, and 32.74% for OECD countries. Initiatives and outcomes The several expenditure reforms the DOGE has implemented are the termination of unused federal government office space leases, cancellation of wasteful contracts, recovery of misallocated funds, federal workforce optimisation involving initiatives such as hiring restrictions, workforce reduction, and offering voluntary buyouts, deregulatory measures aimed at ensuring lawful governance and reducing red tape. There is also Artificial Intelligence-based monitoring of federal employee activity, productivity assessment, and detection of inefficiencies, identifying and consolidating overlapping functions across departments, and cutting down overseas humanitarian and development spending. DOGE follows a transparent communication strategy by publicly sharing updates (on X or DOGE's portal) on the outcomes. The total estimated expenditure savings from contract/lease cancellations and renegotiations, grant cancellations, fraud and improper payment detection and elimination, asset sales, employee reductions and regulatory changes have been $190 billion, which amounts to $1,180 per taxpayer. DOGE has made the distribution of government grants transparent through a payments portal, which allows citizens to see recipient-wise payments of federal grants. DOGE's Workforce Portal provides information on the agency-wise size of the U.S. government civilian workforce. To streamline layoffs, it has implemented the 'Workforce Reshaping Tool', a modernised version of the Pentagon's Automated Reduction in Force (AutoRIF) software, which assists in terminating federal employees based on criteria such as seniority and performance. So far, approximately 2,60,000 federal employees have been laid off, retired early, or accepted buyouts. Several federal regulations were repealed and modified, with a cost savings of $30.1 billion due to reduced regulatory compliance; also, 1.8 million words have been deleted from the rules of several Federal regulations. DOGE publishes a unique unconstitutionality index (UI) measuring the extent of bureaucracy's role in shaping federal policy. As per UI, for every law passed by Congress in 2024, there were about 19 rules created by the bureaucracy. The path ahead However, DOGE's journey has seen an unexpected turn after Elon Musk publicly disagreed with U.S. President Donald Trump over the provision incorporated in the much-debated One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) for removing tax credits offered to purchase electric vehicles. The OBBB is a legislative extension of the DOGE reform, as it aims to embed multiple fiscal priorities and DOGE-style government efficiency reforms into a single federal law. Ironically, by opposing OBBB, Mr. Musk contradicted his initiatives as an adviser to DOGE. However, the bigger challenge facing the DOGE initiative is that its extended form, the OBBB, is unlikely to resolve the U.S.'s deficit and debt problem, as the tax cuts proposed in the OBBB far exceed the spending cuts, leading to an addition of $3.2 trillion to the U.S. national debt over the next decade. Currently, the U.S. has the lowest and below-OECD-average corporate tax rates among the MAE, lower effective tax rates on the rich, and tighter secrecy laws that enable tax evasion by wealthy individuals and corporations. Therefore, unless efforts are made to boost government revenues, Mr. Trump's 'One Big Budget Bet' of reducing America's deficit and debt through DOGE-style expenditure reforms is unlikely to pay off.

Jensen Huang reviews salary of every Nvidia employee himself and now 80% are millionaires. What is his strategy?
Salary reviews at a billion-dollar pace From salary checks to millionaire makers The billionaire effect at the top You Might Also Like: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang calls AI the 'greatest equalizer of our time', predicts it will create more millionaires than the internet In the cutthroat world of tech, most CEOs delegate salary reviews to HR. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang does the opposite — he personally reviews the compensation of all 42,000 employees every single month. This hands-on habit, coupled with the AI boom, has helped turn not just executives but thousands of staff members into revelation came during an AI-focused discussion on the All-In podcast, where Huang explained that this unusual leadership approach is a cornerstone of Nvidia's success. His message was simple: 'If you take care of people, everything else takes care of itself.'Huang says he manages the task with the help of machine learning tools that sort through recommended compensation data for every employee. 'I go through the whole company… 100% of the time I increase the company's spend on opex,' he said in the some have speculated that he keeps a hidden reserve of stock options to reward high performers, Huang neither confirmed nor denied it. What he did stress was his belief in competitive pay as a means to keep talent motivated and loyal. 'Don't feel sad for anybody at my layer,' he quipped, noting that he has 'created more billionaires on my management team than any CEO in the world.'The results of Huang's philosophy are staggering. According to a Benzinga report citing internal surveys and market data, around 80% of Nvidia employees are now millionaires. Nearly half of them are reportedly worth more than $25 wealth surge has been driven largely by Nvidia's employee stock purchase program, which lets staff buy shares at a 15% discount. With Nvidia's market value soaring — now topping $4.39 trillion — those shares have turned into life-changing assets. The stock has climbed over 79% in the past year alone, cementing the company as the most valuable publicly traded firm in the is not just the rank-and-file who have benefited. A recent spike in Nvidia's stock price pushed three of its board members into the billionaire club. Huang himself now has a net worth exceeding $157 billion, putting him among the top ten wealthiest individuals Huang insists his focus is not on personal fortune but on fairly rewarding everyone, from engineers to senior executives. His leadership model has made Nvidia a case study in how aligning employee prosperity with company growth can fuel unprecedented belief in the power of talent extends beyond paychecks. On the All-In podcast, he argued that small, well-funded teams can produce major breakthroughs in AI. Citing examples like OpenAI and China's DeepSeek, both with around 150 employees, he said such teams can 'create wonders' if given the right resources.

Trump fires Billy Long as IRS commissioner two months after he was confirmed: Who is he?
US President Donald Trump abruptly removed Billy Long, the former auctioneer and Republican congressman, who was confirmed less than two months ago as head of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Trump administration said on Friday. Billy Long will no longer serve as the tax agency's head. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will oversee the agency as acting IRS commissioner, the New York Times reported. It was not immediately clear why Long was dismissed. His quick exit makes him the shortest-tenured IRS commissioner confirmed by the Senate since the position was created in 1862. Billy Long is a former Missouri congressman. While in Congress, where Billy Long served from 2011 to 2023, Long sponsored legislation to get rid of the IRS. A former auctioneer and real estate broker, Long has no background in tax administration. He also hosted a radio talk show from 1999 to 2006 'on which the IRS was always a hot topic,' according to his biography on the agency's website. After leaving Congress to mount an unsuccessful 2022 bid for the US Senate, Long worked with a firm that distributed the pandemic-era employee retention tax credit, the AP reported. That tax credit program was eventually shut down after then-IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel determined that it was fraudulent. Long wrote on social media that he would be nominated to become the next US ambassador to Iceland. 'It is a honor to serve my friend President Trump and I am excited to take on my new role as the ambassador to Iceland,' Long wrote. 'I am thrilled to answer his call to service and deeply committed to advancing his bold agenda. Exciting times ahead," he added. Long's departure comes after the agency underwent a series of DOGE-related job cuts this year. Long, who had little background in tax policy beyond promoting a fraud-riddled tax credit, had clashed at times with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during his brief tenure, sources told the New York Times. He allegedly made high-profile mistakes, at one point last month telling tax practitioners that the agency's all-important filing season would start late next year, a statement that the IRS later said was premature.
