@tradingtulips@tulipking I’ve surmised it’s because smart trans people were very clever hiding their true selves as children
They’re used to solving complex riddles like surviving childhood in a world that doesn’t accept them
Translates quite well to privacy and zk
Everyone's calling the stablecoin exodus a trend... but it's a blip
Stablecoin market cap has been flat-ish all year
The $14.2 billion recently leaving blockchains and exchanges is drastic, but it can be explained
Anthropic's IPO lands on (or around) Nov. 19, which could be the source of movement (and BTC sales) moving out of crypto to buy in
On January 17, the GENIUS Act goes into effect, which could bring a whole new wave of stablecoin demand on-chain with:
> clear federal pathways for non-banks
> institutional participation
> enhanced legal certainty
> bank and trust integration
Blip or trend?
Banks fought stablecoins all year… in two months we’ll find out if it mattered
Stablecoins were crypto’s killer use case for the first half of the 2020s
Supply peaked in Dec 2025, with GENIUS Act as a catalyst all year
Politicians defended them, saying they’d help secure dollar dominance
In 2026, banks lobbied against them in the fight over CLARITY Act
GENIUS Act goes into effect Jan. 17, 2027
We’ll get a live test of whether US institutions push the market cap higher… or whether digital dollars never found a product-market fit
Do you see market cap going above $300 billion in 2027?
If you want to do YouTube Shorts better, check this out
Lately, I've been trying to make the most out of long-form videos as part of a Waterfall Content strategy under development
Over the past day, I built an agent research assistant that checks 29 creators and 26 search phrases in my content niche; it runs every Sunday
Its goal is to find Shorts that did better than a creator's other Shorts usually do, shares the transcript, and takes screenshots of the video
The agent will then help workout the hook, beat, and end/CTA
Each "recipe" lands as a skill, which is made when 2 or more creators have used a similar format for their Shorts
Now, when I make a long-form video, the agent will apply the Shorts skill and make the cuts for the short-form videos
Fixes the agent and I made along the way included:
> Reading YouTube handles better
> Removing paid ads that looked like breakouts
> Removing false-positive, off-topic results
> Making the transcription process 13x faster
The Shorts review costs nothing because it uses my free 10k quota for YouTube and current Claude subscription
Follow me if you're looking for leveraging agents to help you create better content that isn't AI slop
@mariannehere > communities that meet in person will win
Can attest to this 1,000%
I've been working with an ecosystem since 2018 because there was so much heavy investment in IRL meetings in the early days
And, I still have irons in the fire with another team from a dinner this February
@zGuz@YahooFinance@juleshyman Seems like the pattern is pretty clear with IPO/ICO launches, all of the hype goes into the pockets of early round investors/speculators
Can't wait to watch this initial offering play out like every single other one over the past decade
@benjamincowen People want to swap out of a long-term play into a short-term loss... post-IPO seems like a horrible time to buy a stonk, right?
Isn't the trend generally down after launch?
@z0r0zzz@tacitfi Well, this is super interesting! How are you steelmanning the tools you're building?
Putting the code in the wild to be hardened? Audits? Using your skillz?
