🇺🇸 BREAKING: SEC Chair Paul Atkins just released the crypto BULLS!!

If you hold $BTC $ETH $SOL you need to watch all 4 minutes of this!

The future of crypto in America looks like this:

[Dustin @r0ck3t23]

Elon Musk just described the terminal state of the global financial system.

The banking sector is obsessed with fiat currency.

Superintelligence won’t even recognize it.

Musk: “I think money will stop being relevant at some point in the future. I think the AI will not use human currency. It will just care about power and mass, wattage and tonnage.”

You can’t bribe an algorithm with digital dollars.

The operators controlling the next era won’t be the ones hoarding cash. They’ll be the ones commanding raw energy generation and physical material.

The global economy is transitioning from fiat to thermodynamics.

If your portfolio isn’t anchored in power and mass, your capital is already obsolete.

Musk: “It just represents some percentage ownership in companies that I’ve built. And it’s not like sitting in a bank account. It’s just literally I own a percentage of companies. The companies are doing lots of useful things.”

The general public thinks billionaires hoard massive piles of cash in a vault.

They don’t. Massive wealth is the mathematical byproduct of owning infrastructure that keeps civilization running.

Cash sitting in an account is a depreciating liability. The only real leverage is equity in systems that are actively solving bottlenecks at scale.

Capital sitting idle isn’t safe. It’s bleeding.

Peter Diamandis: “Elon’s driven to solve problems. He’s driven to make life in the world better by just solving the biggest problems over and over and over again. And if someone else were solving them, he wouldn’t need to. But no one else is solving them.”

You don’t achieve trillion-dollar scale by optimizing for a higher salary.

You achieve it by hunting the largest friction points on the planet and engineering them out of existence.

The market doesn’t compensate you for your time. It compensates you in direct proportion to the size of the problem you delete from the board.

Don’t build a company to extract money. Accumulate resources to fund the execution loop until the friction is completely gone.

And once AI measures value purely in physics, the entire concept of wealth as we understand it evaporates.

Who controls the energy. Who controls the materials. Who controls the infrastructure.

Everything else is just numbers on a screen.

If you're in your 20s and haven't "made it" yet, listen up.

Things are about to get really hard.

This might be the most important post you read this year.

(coming from someone who "made it" unconventionally in their mid-20s):

- The #1 skill to possess in 2026 and beyond is being high agency. Information is no longer a moat (you can now prompt AI and find out anything at any time). Your biggest moat is your mental agility and speed. How fast can you spot an opportunity, act, fail, learn, get up, and repeat again? This is how I define high agency (essentially acting instead of waiting).

- Stay curious. Read, explore, go down new rabbit holes, try new products, speak to new people. The last point is critical because society has become too isolationist. People WANT to work with other good people. So many good ideas come from collaborating, thinking, and brainstorming. Don't rob yourself of that.

- Avoid bullsh*t at all costs. Things I define as bullsh*t: Video games, social media (unless you're researching/posting for a reason), junk food, chasing women, basically anything that isn't essential to your mission. Yeah, there's a time for fun - but I've found it's better to operate in absolutes than in the middle (i.e., either lock the f*ck in for 3 months, then do a week of full switch-off - don't mix the two)

- Prioritise health. Diet/exercise/sleep are the 90% variables here. And of that 90%, sleep is half of it. If you're going to optimise one single thing in life, it's sleep. I've found the work sorts itself out if you're firing on all cylinders mentally.

- Prioritise real work. Identify the top 3 needle-movers the night before, and attack those tasks upon waking. Nothing else matters until they're done. The work needs doing. No one else will do it for you. How many days can you stack in a row of doing this? Momentum snowballs. Make being a hard worker your identity, not a fad. I work 14-hour days every day, 7 days a week. I burn out occasionally, then I pick myself up and do it again. The world is changing fast; you can't afford to be slow.

- Simplify your life to "anchor" habits. You only need a few high-impact habits to compound into huge results. 2 examples: 1. Bedtime alarm (you'll sleep better > feel better > get more work done). 2. Identify your main 3 priorities done each day (this way, even if you slack for the rest of the day, you've moved the needle)

- Arbitrage. The second you can afford it, get an EA. They're cheap (global arbitrage). The second you can get a 2nd employee, do it. And keep going. Invest in more staff and not on watches/designer/lifestyle - I've done this, I own multiple Pateks, a Maybach, Loro suits, you name it - trust me, it's all bullsh*t.

- AI. AI. AI. You need to dedicate a minimum of 10 hours a week to just learning about AI. And another 1-2 hours a day using it. As we speak, I have ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini open - all with custom prompts/skills (i'm not using them to write - tip: Using AI to write is a sh*t way to build a brand, + writing is fun as it's a mental challenge - don't rob yourself of cognition for the sake of expediency).

- Emotional intelligence > IQ. So many people are f*cking dumb. Not in a book-smart sense, but in an emotional sense. In business, put yourself in others' shoes, don't be a jerk, think about your actions, if you mess up - reflect on it and be honest with yourself. Stop deflecting blame. Stop blaming the world. Yeah, sucky stuff happens in life, many things are out of our control. But you CAN control how you act.

- Build a personal brand. The reality is, everyone has a personal brand. Some people have a "brand" that only their friends/family see, some people have a brand that millions see online. I'm not saying become a cringy "influencer" - but accept you have a brand. And then make a decision as to whether you want to take that brand public. Building in public is the best way, this is how I grew my account. I was just sharing my thoughts/trades. It ended up changing my life. I was a 20-year-old kid in my parents' house in Australia, now I'm friends with billionaires, VCs, and founders (all stemming from the fact I started tweeting).

- Put most of your energy into high-upside vehicles. Obviously, to acquire the necessary capital to pull this off (not just $ capital, also knowledge and resources), you may need to start with a lower upside vehicle (i.e. a lot of SAAS founders started with agency/info models before scaling).

- Don't follow your passion. I know this sounds controversial, but by limiting yourself to a single passion, you may be limiting your ability to discover another passion. Personal example: As a teenager, I was super into music - I wanted to be singer. I started researching finance/crypto, it wasn't my passion but I found it mildly interesting. Little wins compounded into bigger wins, I got addicted, ended up loving it, and now I couldn't imagine music holding a candle to the thrills of being an entrepreneur. It wasn't my passion but now it is. Just stay curious, try stuff, and you may stumble into a career you never expected. This open-mindedness will be more than needed heading into an era of rapid change.

An old saying I'm always reminded of in pullbacks —

Pessimists sound smart.

Optimists make money.

[The Wolf Of All Streets @scottmelker]

People keep asking me: What was worse - 2022 or whatever we’re in right now?

Here’s my answer: 2022 wasn’t a downturn. It was an industry collapse.

- Terra/LUNA
- 3AC
- Celsius
- Voyager
- BlockFi
- FTX/Alameda
- Genesis
- …plus dozens of desks and DAOs that vanished quietly.

And we forget how many giants everyone thought were going to collapse next: Grayscale, Tether, Coinbase, Binance, Crypto dot com, Gemini, USDC, DCG - all under active fear.

Nearly everyone had some exposure. And everyone thought something they relied on was insolvent.

Now compare that to 2025: a slow bleed. Annoying, draining, uncomfortable - but without a single systemic domino falling. Prices have drifted lower, sentiment has eroded, yet nothing truly catastrophic has taken place.

And during all of this, something unexpected happened:

The fundamentals got stronger.

- Institutions just getting started
- Pro-crypto administration
- ETFs going mainstream
- DATs rolling out
- Corporate treasuries warming up
- Wall Street infrastructure finally being built
- Tokenization + prediction markets gaining real traction
- Early Strategic Bitcoin Reserve conversations

If you told me we’d get all of this during a “bear market,” I’d have laughed.

And here’s my favorite part:

If this dislocation widens - prices drifting lower while the fundamentals get stronger - I’ll only be happier. Watching the portfolio bleed never feels great, but when the underlying foundation is improving, cheaper prices become opportunities, not warnings.

The real story is this:

This cycle created things that can’t be undone.

- BlackRock is here to stay.
- Fidelity isn’t getting undone.
- ETFs aren’t going back in the bottle.
- The SBR conversation isn’t disappearing.
- And the institutional/regulatory foundation built this cycle doesn’t unwind because prices dipped.

If gold can go on a generational run, there’s no reason Bitcoin and this entire industry can’t pick itself back up and turn itself around.

This isn’t 2022. Not even close.

[Michaël van de Poppe @CryptoMichNL]

It's still the same theory:

- #Bitcoin moves upwards.
- Bitcoin consolidates.
- $ETH starts to follow.
- #Altcoins outperform Ethereum.

It's a strong sign that we're currently seeing more momentum coming from DeFi & Ethereum ecosystem projects.

Risk-on is the game.

@QuintenFrancois You’re so damn right!

Your salary will never make you rich.
Your boss will never make you free.
Your pension will never let you retire early.

Wealth is built by those who take risks,
NOT those who follow the system.
