Bitcoin is money
Having cap gains tax on a type of money is blasphemy
Removing cap gains taxes on Bitcoin transactions is the #1 most important this to happen to Bitcoin as of now
I’ll beat this drum until logic prevails!
In 1858 a newspaperman named Frank Leslie found milk left at his New York door. It was bluish. It contained pus. He set out to find where it came from.
What he uncovered became one of the great scandals of the century.
The distilleries of Manhattan and Brooklyn had a waste problem. Whiskey left behind enormous quantities of hot fermented mash, and dumping it cost money. So someone had an idea. Feed it to cows. Hundreds of them, packed into sheds beside the stills, standing in their own manure, fed boiling spent grain until they sickened, their udders ulcerating, their bodies breaking out in sores.
The milk came out thin and blue. They fixed the colour with plaster of Paris and chalk. They thickened it with flour and rotten eggs. They cut it with water from a ditch that ran past the manure pile. Then they painted "Pure Country Milk" on the wagon and sold it from carts across the city as fresh from the meadows of Orange County.
The New York Times put the toll as high as eight thousand infants a year.
This is the milk that built the case for reform. The entire safety apparatus was designed around it. Sick animals, industrial filth, distillery slop, deliberate adulteration, urban sheds without a blade of grass for ten miles.
There were two ways to solve it.
You could stop feeding cows whiskey waste in filthy sheds. Let them eat grass on clean land and sell the milk fresh and local, the way every human had drunk it for ten thousand years.
Or you could keep the sheds, keep the mash, keep the scale, and heat the result until the bacteria died.
When the city finally investigated, the inspectors were tipped off in advance and the committee recommended better ventilation. You know which path they were always going to take. You can taste it.
The frightening thing was never raw milk from a healthy cow on good grass. It was a dying animal in a distillery, held upright by a sling while someone ran whiskey slop through its udder.
We solved that with a process, kept the process forever, banned the healthy version to be safe, and told you the cow was the danger.
Frank Leslie would have had questions.

My emotions with the price of Bitcoin:
$126,000 = I’m rich bich
$100,000 = Hmmm don’t like that
$90,000 = getting annoyed
$80,000 = guess I’m not retiring this year
$70,000 = Wife better not ask me for anything
$60,000 = BUY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
How many of you are holding both $XRP and $ADA? 👀
I’m curious to see how much overlap there is between these two communities. 💪📊
Drop a 👍 if you hold both.
#Cardano fam, They counted $ADA out. Down ~34% on the week, sitting at #15, trading near $0.16 while the headlines write its obituary.
But here’s what the obituary leaves out.
Cardano never stopped building. While the market chased hype, Cardano shipped peer-reviewed code. And the next 12 months may be the most loaded stretch in its history:
🔹 Van Rossem Hard Fork (late June) → Protocol v11, leaner Plutus contracts, a stronger ledger. The engine room is getting an overhaul.
🔹 Spot ADA ETF window opens → Grayscale, VanEck, 21Shares & Canary all in line. The single biggest demand catalyst ADA has ever faced — institutional money that can’t buy today.
🔹 Midnight → privacy + regulated assets as a partner chain. More surface area: identity, DeFi, institutional rails.
🔹 x402 + AI agent payments → Cardano positioning for the machine economy before most chains even noticed it exists.
🔹 63%+ of supply staked → a holder base that doesn’t flinch. Diamond hands aren’t a meme here, they’re the data.
Top 5 isn’t nostalgia. It’s a thesis. Research-first chains don’t sprint — they compound. And when adoption finally meets infrastructure that was built to last, the re-rate won’t be gentle.
The strongest hands accumulate when conviction is cheap.
Patience is a position.

10 years ago, bitcoin was at $600.
Most Bitcoiners then would've taken $60k BTC in 2026 in a heartbeat.
It was unclear if bitcoin would survive, let alone thrive.
Bitcoiners worried about scalability, hard forks, and governments banning it.
We've come a long way since.
@JamesHu27192912 I had a kid tell me once, “I don’t eat eggs from chickens. I only eat eggs from the grocery store.” The ignorance of our food is staggering.
There is a japanese legend that says:
If you miss the bus, maybe you avoided the accident.
If you got rejected, maybe you were saved from the wrong place.
If they left, maybe they made room for who is coming.
The universe protects you in ways that look like bad luck at first.
Trust the detour.
