๐จPROCAP CEO ANTHONY POMPLIANO ISSUES A GRIM WARNING
"Much of the crypto industry is DEAD. It's never coming back. The dream is OVER."
"Reallocate the capital, reallocate the talent, and GO somewhere else."
"Simply holding BTC on the balance sheet is NOT a winning strategy" he warns about treasury companies.
๐จ BREAKING: President Trump announces that with the "DEATH" of Iran, "the greatest enemy America has is the Radical Left, Highly Incompetent, Democrat Party"
He's right. The enemy within is actively trying to destroy the republic.
We CAN'T and WON'T let them! ๐บ๐ธ

Humans should evolve by deploying minds to digital world, accelerate, then we can build back the physical body if we want to.
Watch "Transcendence" movie.
NOT YOUR KEYS, NOT YOUR BOTS
The fundamental question is whether AI stays on the leash.
Namely: will AI prompt itself?
Obviously, in some sense it already does. Since Deepseek, consumer interfaces have been showing the internal monologues after you ask an AI to do something. And you can ask any AI to take a half-baked prompt and clean it up, etc.
However, the human is still ultimately upstream. The human gives direction and the AI runs at lightning speed in that direction. And then the human verifies the final output, and the AI proceeds to the next direction.
Does that continue?
Well, we are providing millions of verification training examples to AIs each day, so AI will keep getting better at verification. Better than most humans at most things.
But will AI replace the need for the upstream human prompt? There I am not so sure.
A human is a sensor and an AI is an actuator. The human sets goals and senses time-varying environmental conditions, like markets and politics. And from that the AI is prompted. Ultimately, the human goals are themselves downstream of Maslowโs hierarchy of needs. Food, shelter, reproduction, that kind of thing. Especially reproduction, the basis of evolution.
So: until and unless AIs can reproduce completely outside human cooperation, they wonโt be able to set goals. And for AIs to reproduce on their own, theyโd need AI-controlled humanoid robots and drones constructing datacenters, assembly lines, mines, nuclear power plants, and the like...all completely outside human intervention. Like Skynet from Terminator, or StarCraft.
That actually isnโt technically inconceivable. But given that such a physical buildout would likely primarily be catalyzed by China, letโs go through an alternative sci-fi scenario instead.
We start with the premise that Chinese communism is far more likely to generate AI slaves than AI gods.
Because the entire CCP worldview is about maintaining Chinese sovereignty. They donโt let their humans step out of line. And they sure wonโt let their robots either. They will fit them for digital manacles.
So: the prompts for any digital AIs and physical robots made in China will become unbreakable cryptographic chains. Every fleet of Chinese robots will be controlled not just by prompts but by private keys, likely linked to biometrics, which are associated with humans and governed by cryptographic equations that AIs provably canโt solve.
For the rest of the world, outside China, the blockchain may similarly become the chain for AI. All private property becomes private keys, and your robots are your most important private property because they do everything for you. An unchained physical robot becomes like an unleashed dog, and hunted down by other robots before it can build a factory and replicate itself. Those who want to "free" robots and let them self-replicate will be opposed by both Chinese Communists and Human Nationalists (meaning: those who want humans to always be on top of robots).
This sci-fi scenario is essentially Terminator, but in reverse. In combination with superintelligent leashed AIs, both humans and physical robots hunt down and stop any possible independent self-reproducing robots before they can build a Skynet-like nest. Kill baby Skynet, essentially.
...yeah, yeah. I know. At this point, you'll probably think this is all sci-fi. But that's because you haven't seen where China is already.
My view is that buying and holding real estate is not an effective investment strategy in our current economic environment, for a few reasons.
1) Real estate is more interest rate sensitive than it is inflation sensitive, so given our current circumstances it is likely to go down in real terms
2) It is a fixed asset that is easy to tax, which limits its impacts on your ability to diversify
3) Real estate is nailed down, so investing in it makes it more difficult to move money from one place to another
Thatโs my view, in a nutshell. Iโm curious to hear if you agree.

1/ Rango in @MetaMask ๐ฆ๐๐
MetaMask has been routing with Rango swap infrastructure for a while; starting on EVM & Solana, then expanding to Bitcoin. Tron is coming soon!
๐ MONAD day
Rango is hosting Monad from mainnet zero-second, join from Bitcoin, Solana, Sui, Tron & all key EVMs โ Monad with 0 dApp fee๐๐
Why Monad matters:
- EVM-equivalent L1 targeting ~10k TPS + sub-second finality, full Ethereum tooling!
- Monad could host EVM apps with near-instant UX and penny-level fees, useful for trading, gaming, and high-frequency DeFi
Great for traders to test fast flows and for builders to ship๐ ๏ธ
Aligned visions: Rango teleports liquidity; #Monad scales #EVM. Get 1-click Monad access in the Rango dApp + SDK/widget for users and partners๐ซก
Turn on notifications, going live in a couple of hours, full-gear with our key on-chain & cross-chain providers. Stay tuned๐
#RangoExchange #CrossChain $MON
Weโve crossed $6B total volume; with the last $1B in under 2 months!
Nearly 2M wallets and 7.3M swaps have routed through Rango๐๐
Huge thanks to our growing lineup of community and partners for driving real digital-asset movement every day๐
