This is an opportunity for the big boys to cash out by dropping the stock on people that have no idea they’re the marks.
The biggest rug pull in the history of the stock market.
before crypto, i worked at some of the top firms on wall street, @GoldmanSachs and @blackstone.
and from speaking to many of my ex-colleagues on wall street, i can confidently say that big banks have never been more scared of crypto eating their lunch.
in fact, they're so scared, that jp morgan, citi and others are planning to launch their own tokenized deposit network to compete with crypto.
but if you like crypto, you won't like the banks' alternative. in fact, you'll want to steer well clear.
here's why:
- with their network, you won't own your money
if the bank fails or faces a run, you lose your tokens (just how you would with your fiat). the main beauty of crypto is that you hold your private keys so you are fully in control of your own money (no one can freeze it).
- it's a permissioned, closed network
access to their network still requires the banks' permission. unlike public blockchains, which are permissionless and let anyone participate.
- run by the banks who've been campaigning against crypto
their network will be run by The Clearing House (payments company owned by JP Morgan, Citi, BofA and other big banks). do you really think they have the consumers' best interests at heart?
- no privacy or transparency
the beauty of crypto is that you can make transactions without a middleman and no one can freeze your funds. however, every transaction on the banks' network will be subject to their oversight and must fall within their KYC / AML processes. this means governments and banks can still freeze your funds for whatever reason they want.
- designed to keep the banks in full control
they want a system that will let them keep their fees and revenue model. stablecoins threaten to pull billions in deposits away from banks - this is their last ditch attempt to stop that.
- limits defi innovation
by controlling their own permissioned blockchain, banks prevent users from using other blockchain protocols that could allow them to get higher yields etc (one of the main attractions of defi for many users).
$ZEC down over 40% overnight after Claude AI found a bug that allowed unlimited minting of the token.
one prompt destroyed billions of value in just hours.
AI is going to wreck havoc for coins that aren't secured for a post-quantum world.
This is a crime. This is deliberately exposing the general public to the most overvalued company in the history of the stock market in order to prop up an IPO that jailbreaks the entire index/pension/retirement fund system.
This is selling suicide pills at the drugstore.
Can’t get much worse.

🚀 The order matters 🪐
🌉 Bridges first Connecting banks, fintechs, blockchains, and payment networks.
📜 Clarity second Regulatory frameworks finally taking shape, giving institutions the confidence to move.
🏦 Institutional adoption third The big players don't arrive before the infrastructure and rules exist.
📈 Market cap goes up fourth Price is the result, not the catalyst.
Too many people chase #4 and ignore #1, #2, and #3.
$SHx is focused on building the rails, expanding interoperability, and positioning for the future of tokenized finance. 🪐
The infrastructure is being laid. The rules are coming. The institutions are watching.
When adoption arrives, the market cap can take care of itself. 💎🔥

After my conversation with Jared Feldman at @iTrustCapital the truth hit hard. Millions are locked into traditional 401ks and IRAs in a collapsing debt based system. Stocks and bonds totally disconnected from real value with massive systemic risk.
Zero exposure to where smart money is moving: gold silver platinum broader commodities markets XRP and other digital assets.
You get all the downside of the collapse and none of the upside of the greatest wealth transfer in history.
Self custody with your own keys is still king but for many this is the pragmatic bridge that beats staying chained.

Two coins I m glad I dumped for decent profit.
●ADA ($0.90) &
● VET ($0.07)
I still dont see future in either unless something changes fundamentally.

🚨 Sean Strickland says he's BANNED from attending the UFC White House event because he "made fun of Israel and Epstein"
"UFC at the White House with [Netanyahu] in the audience. Straight 🇮🇱 slop.
The only male American champ banned at the White House because I said Trump is owned by [Netanyahu]. That's not public opinion it's fact."
