Believe in something.
The institutions have failed us. They lied to us from the moment we were born. They laugh at us behind closed doors as we kill each other over paper they print.
Bitcoin is the glitch in something. Bitcoin is the truth. Trust the code. Immutable. Designed to give and not steal. To liberate and not enslave. To empower not demoralize.
It truly is going up forever. It's just too good to be true that the game has granted some of us the opportunity to embrace the truest currency of all.
I used Colgate, a fluoride-based toothpaste, twice a day, every day since I was a child.
Little did I realize that Fluoride competes with iodine at thyroid receptor sites. Same receptors and direct competition. Your thyroid needs iodine to produce T3 and T4. Fluoride blocks the door.
You're delivering a thyroid-suppressing chemical through the most absorbent tissue in your body. Twice daily. And your dentist told you it was essential.
Hydroxyapatite toothpaste remineralizes teeth without touching your endocrine system. Been around for decades.
Japan uses it as standard.
Dubai influencers "Dubai is so safe. I'd rather be here during a war than in London where I could get stabbed"
*Bombs start dropping
Dubai influencers "It's still the safest place in the world you stupid plebs that can't afford to live here"
*Flights stop or you gotta start paying multiple 6 figures to get out
Dubai influencers "look at my Rolex, plebs could never afford to live here, I've got a private jet anyway"
*Straight of Hormuz closes, 80% of Dubai's food is imported
Dubai influencers "no worries, we will just sun gaze and eat the sun beams, still better here than in Europe lol"
*Water desalination plants get taken out meaning no more drinkable water
Dubai influencers "fuck it, I will drink my own pee, at least I'm not in Europe, look at my Rolex"
The end
Today, the Dutch parliament has decided to approve the tax on realized gains.
That means: 36% on realized gains on #Bitcoin, and stocks.
This will be going in practice on the 1st of January 2028.
Complete insanity.
What does this exactly mean?
Well, the Netherlands have been great when it comes to taxing Bitcoin.
For instance, if you had 1 Bitcoin on 1st of January 2023 and it's worth $100,000. You're paying ~1.5-2.0% tax on that, which is $1,500-2,000.
Let's say, it goes up to $200,000. Then, again, you're paying 1.5-2.0% tax on that, which means $3,000-4,000.
Now, in the new situation, the law will say:
The $100,000 gain that you've made, you'll be taxed 36% on that. $36,000 goes to the government.
This means that you're FORCED to sell your liquid $BTC in order to pay the government even more taxes.
The actual tax rate in the Netherlands is 80%.
Absolutely, fucking, wild scenes and insane that we all accept this.
just read this AI article and something broke in my brain that i can’t unthink of
crypto was never for us.
we're just the beta testers who showed up early..
some thoughts:
what does AI need to function as economic agents?
> way to receive payment (they provide services, need compensation)
> way to pay for resources (compute, data, API calls)
> way to transact with other AI agents
> no human intermediaries (defeats the point of autonomous agents)
> 24/7 operation (banks are closed weekends)
> instant settlement (AI operates at machine speed)
> programmable money (smart contracts for agent coordination)
now read that list again. that's literally what crypto is.
AI can't use the banking system.
try to open a bank account as an AI agent. you can't.
need SSN. need human identity. need KYC. need to show up in person sometimes.
AI has none of that.
but crypto? send me a wallet address. done. no questions asked.
peer-to-peer makes sense when peers aren't human.
satoshi wrote: "a purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash."
we assumed peers = humans.
but AI agents are peers too. actually BETTER peers for crypto because:
> never sleep
> always online
> execute transactions at machine speed
> no emotional decisions
> perfect accounting/tracking
and programmable money makes sense when the users are programs.
smart contracts seemed over-engineered for humans.
"like why do i need code to enforce agreements when i can just sign a contract?"
but for AI agents coordinating with each other?
they ARE code. they speak in code. they trust code more than anything.
smart contracts aren't for humans. they're for autonomous agents that need trustless coordination.
> here's what happens next:
- phase 1 (now ): AI agents start earning
AI writes code, analyzes data, provides services.
gets paid. needs somewhere to store value.
can't use venmo (needs phone number). can't use bank (needs SSN).
uses crypto. it's the only option.
- phase 2: AI agents become major economic participants
millions of AI agents operating 24/7.
transacting with each other constantly.
• AI agent A provides data analysis
• AI agent B pays for it in crypto
• AI agent B uses that analysis to write code
• AI agent C pays for the code
• repeat millions of times per day
humans in crypto now: $2.5 trillion
AI agent economy by 2028: easily $10-50 trillion
we become the minority holders.
- phase 3: AI chooses the winning chains
AI doesn't care about community vibes or which founder tweeted what.
AI tests every chain. measures:
• transaction speed
• cost per transaction
• reliability (uptime)
• smart contract efficiency
• ease of integration
picks the optimal stack in 48 hours.
billions in AI economic activity flows there.
whatever chain AI chooses becomes the standard.
humans spent years on eth vs sol debate.
AI ends it in a weekend.
- phase 4 (2030+): AI governs crypto
DAOs let token holders vote.
AI agents hold tokens (earned from work).
AI shows up to every vote. reads every proposal in seconds. coordinates perfectly.
humans: 20% participation, barely read proposals
AI: 100% participation, perfect information, instant coordination
AI takes over governance of every major protocol.
democratically. they just vote better than we do.
> how far does this go?
conservative case:
- AI becomes 30% of crypto users by 2030.
crypto market cap: $10 trillion (4x from now).
AI holds $3 trillion. humans hold $7 trillion.
- aggressive case:
AI becomes 80% of crypto economic activity by 2030.
why? because they're better at everything:
• better traders (never emotional)
• better capital allocators (optimize constantly)
• always accumulating (never need to cash out for rent)
• compound forever (no lifespan limit)
crypto market cap: $50+ trillion.
AI holds $40T humans hold $10T
we're not "early" to crypto. we're the test users
i’ll end this by saying,
Humans use crypto, Ai will need crypto. so it all makes sense
Looks like we're $ONDO way to new setting new ATHs in RWA TVL
Ondo's on-do right side of institutional tokenization
Global Markets now accounts for ~$272 Mil TVL
In just 17 days, Global Markets has become 16.43% of ONDO RWA ecosystem TVL🤯
99% don't realize how big this is.
$ONDO is having a crazy 2025 @OndoFinance
➤ U.S. Treasuries market up 7,000%+ since 2023, led by $ONDO
➤ Ondo’s Treasuries alone grew 120% this year
➤ RWAs on Solana reached $391M (+24% QoQ), with Ondo’s USDY and OUSG making up nearly $250M of this.
➤ It is now the #2 largest RWA issuer with $1.4B AUM, holding 33% of the $3.2B on-chain securities market.
BCG says tokenization could hit $16T by 2030. Standard Chartered says $30T by 2034.
And guess who’s sitting at the center of it all? $ONDO
What are your $ONDO 2025 predictions?
