Imagine if in the next year @base decides to move forward with what would likely be the single wealth creation event in onchain history and you have to explain to your wife and kids that you missed out bc in July 2026 @brian_armstrong changed his PFP.
I started my career in politics because I believed, in the words of the late great Senator Paul Wellstone, that "politics is about the improvement of people's lives."
I chose to build in DeFi because I believed it enabled us to build better systems -- shared systems that give all participants a greater stake in the new economy.
And did so as a fully doxxed American — at a moment in this country when I knew that no matter how hard I tried to do it right, I risked ending up in jail or being sued by my own government just for building technology.
That is why today, I joined 60+ CEOs and founders in signing a letter to Senate leaders expressing that developer protections are essential to any workable crypto market structure bill.
On behalf of everyone at @DromosLabs, @VelodromeFi, and @aeroxyz, we urge the Senate to pass the Clarity Act with robust developer protections.

We might be getting closer to capitulation. I expect a bloodbath summer, visiting $50k anyway. For long term investors using BTC as a store of value, this episode might be negligible over a 10yr window. For people timing the market, this will be extremely painful.
LATEST: More than half of all $BTC in circulation is now held at an unrealized loss, a signal that has coincided with every major bear market bottom in history.

Short term with active portfolio management you might be mostly right.
Long term as a passive store of value of a fraction of your portfolio and low or none leverage, this episode might be irrelevant.
@st0x_io In Summary: The government effectively used legislative levers to fix the "numbers" that foreign funds care about: they legally reclassified unemployment, forced low-value labor out via the minimum wage, and collected record taxes to lower the national deficit.
@st0x_io You have been owned by Pedro Sánchez. Congrats! All our stats and laws have been systematically modified over the last 8 years to create the narrative you just assumed.
@st0x_io By legally restricting temporary hiring mechanisms, the state forced a massive, sudden statistical migration of temporary workers into permanent contracts (including the fijo-discontinuo framework).
@st0x_io The headlines celebrating Spain’s recent outperformance in productivity growth rely on a classic statistical illusion: the "catch-up effect" from a deeply inefficient starting point.
@st0x_io Spain’s recent GDP outperformance is heavily driven by rapid population growth via immigration, which expands the overall size of the economy but does not increase individual wealth.
