BOXABL believes they have the potential to disrupt a massive and outdated trillion-dollar building construction market by bringing assembly line automation to the home industry.
BOXABL homes are built in their Las Vegas factory, folded, shipped on a truck, and then unfolded on site in one hour. They aim to transform home construction, much like how Henry Ford automated car manufacturing – bringing assembly line efficiency and mass production to an artisanal, slow industry.
And they're not just dreaming big; they're delivering:
Initial prototype order delivered to SpaceX in 2020.
Subsequent project order of 156 homes from the Department of Defense completed in 2021.
Now, after implementing what was learned from those prior orders, actively delivering to developers and consumers.
BOXABL has already raised over $200M from 50,000+ investors since 2020, and recently achieved a significant milestone: raising over 50% of their Reg A+ funding limit!
Like other game-changing companies, you have a chance to invest in BOXABL’s offering at just $0.80/share. All BOXABL crowdfunding will close TOMORROW, June 24th. This includes all accredited and non-accredited offerings.
Invest today before it's too late!
This is the LAST CHANCE to invest in the current BOXABL funding round and claim your bonus shares.

Digital Assets in Your Estate Plan
Why Your Online Life Shouldn’t Be Left Out
In today’s digital world, your estate includes more than just bank accounts, real estate, and family heirlooms—it also includes your digital assets. These might range from financial accounts and cloud storage to social media profiles and even treasured photo libraries. Including these in your estate plan helps ensure that your digital legacy is protected and managed according to your wishes.
What Counts as a Digital Asset?
Digital assets include anything you store or use online: email accounts, social media profiles, digital photos, documents in cloud storage, domain names, websites, digital currencies (like Bitcoin), and even reward points from airlines or stores. If it’s online and you’ve created or collected it, it’s part of your digital estate.
Why It Matters
Without a clear plan, your loved ones may have difficulty accessing or closing your digital accounts. Some platforms, like Facebook and Google, have legacy options in place, but many do not. Not including instructions can create unnecessary emotional and legal hurdles for your family and potentially leave sensitive information vulnerable.
How to Plan Ahead
Start by making a list of your digital assets, including account usernames and what they contain. Do not include passwords directly in your will, as wills become public documents. Instead, keep a separate, secure list of passwords (in a digital password manager or encrypted file) and appoint someone trustworthy to access it when needed.
Next, clearly state in your estate documents who you’d like to manage your digital assets. This person—sometimes called a “digital executor”—can be given authority through your will or a separate legal document, depending on your state laws. Work with an estate planning attorney to ensure your wishes are enforceable and align with relevant privacy laws.
Final Thoughts
Planning for your digital assets isn’t just about financial security—it’s also about protecting memories and reducing stress for those you love. From heartfelt emails to cherished vacation photos, your digital life tells a story worth preserving. By including your digital assets in your estate plan, you make sure your online world is cared for just like everything else you leave behind.

Yesterday’s Poll Results: Would you join a community garden?
While plenty of folks are tempted by the idea of digging in and growing their own veggies (17%), it turns out most of you prefer your produce with a side of convenience—52% say farmers markets are more their style. Others say they’d join if there were flowers, shade, and a comfy seat (18%), while just a few would jump in to organize one or get the whole family involved. Still, it’s clear: whether planting or perusing, fresh food is always in season.
TOP COMMENTS
“We have eight raised beds of vegetables (down from 14) and we share the produce with friends and family. In fact, when I retired, one of my coworkers asked me if she could still come to the gardens. We have been doing this for at least 42 of the 44 years we have been in our home. Occasionally, we take a break and give the garden beds a break. Our friends are going to be horribly disappointed as this is a ‘break year.’”
“I love everything about community gardens!!”
“My sister and I garden together at her house and share the plentiful harvest and have wonderful conversations!”
Why Try “Dry July”? Reset, Refresh, Reclaim
Pause the pour for a month and rediscover your zest—with bonus health, clarity, and community perks.
Every July, thousands embrace “Dry July” and press pause on alcohol—joining a supportive community while doing themselves (and others) a favor. A month alcohol-free can bring deeper sleep, brighter skin, better digestion, and maybe even a few lost pounds or dollars saved on dining out.
It’s also a moment to reassess your relationship with drinking—identifying stress-related habits, building healthier unwind routines, and deciding what really brings you joy. And for many, going dry fuels a greater cause, raising funds and awareness for cancer support services worldwide.
So whether you’re health-conscious, budget-minded, or just curious, Dry July is a gentle invitation to press reset—for your body, mind, and community.

Good News of the Day
Tiny Robots to the Rescue: Fixing Leaky Pipes Without the Mess
Ingenious Pipebots slip through underground plumbing to prevent damage and save water—no digging required.
A team at the University of Sheffield has created miniature “Pipebots” that crawl through underground water pipes with the agility and intelligence of tiny all-terrain explorers. Equipped with acoustic sensors, cameras, and coordination abilities, these robo-patrols detect and even repair leaks from the inside—saving billions of gallons of water and avoiding disruptive and costly roadworks. By scanning vast networks of aging pipelines without digging, the Pipebots promise a smarter, cleaner, and more efficient way to care for essential water infrastructure.
