telcoin:native @telcoin bests the likes of @circle and @Ripple with the first US on-chain bank account.
“The launch places Telcoin in a different regulatory category from every other crypto company currently seeking banking-adjacent status in the United States. Circle and Ripple both received conditional approval for national trust charters from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, a route that explicitly excludes cash deposit-taking, fractional reserve operations, and checking or savings accounts. “
Come on over ripple:native and ethereum:0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48 users.
“Greatness does not come out of intelligence, it comes from character.
Character is not formed out of smart people: it is formed out of people who have suffered.”
— Nvidia CEO, Jensen Huang
i regret to inform you that personal growth rarely comes from acquiring new knowledge and almost always from:
•getting humiliated
•showing up terrified and doing it anyway
•admitting you might be the problem
what a privilege is it is to afford a gym, buy healthy food, pay bills, have legs that walk, eyes that see, a brain that functions, work every day, and take our bodies to their full potential.
this time actually is different
not because of the AI market attention during the crypto bear market
but because the world order and global trust is actually imploding
and permissionless, censorship-resistant crypto’s time to shine is still to come
(another) generational opportunity awaits those who are patient
Most ultra successful people have a very low need for social approval, although society tends to label this incorrectly as a red flag.
The average person is terrified of looking like a fool or bothering people. I’ve met CEOs that will send ten follow-up emails to a dream hire or pitch their idea to a stranger in an elevator without a second thought. This personality type means they can bypass the politeness instinct that slows down everyone else’s career.
Hesitation to ask for help or feedback is a common bottleneck in most professions; someone who isn't slowed by the fear of being annoying can squeeze a year’s worth of progress into a week.
There are very few things in life that shameless persistence won’t give you.
I want to be rich.
But not Lamborghini or Rolex rich.
I want to be rich enough to go to the gym at 3pm and nobody can tell me no.
To tap the family in front of me at the supermarket and say, "It's on me."
Rich enough that my future wife never has to worry about getting a job.
Rich enough to show my children the world, not pictures of it.
Rich enough to take my friends to dinner and say, "I got this"
That's my definition of rich.
Your entire life can really change in a year. You just gotta love yourself enough to know you deserve more, be brave enough to demand more, and be disciplined enough to actually work for more. You can do it. You got this.
Nobody tells you this: Dopamine from information gathering is a dangerous drug. It's the dopamine from reading, planning, or learning, but never doing. Stop looking for more information and start acting on the information you already have. Get your dopamine from action.
Had a wealthy friend tell me that the ability to decrease time to any outcome is the one skill behind every successful person he knows.
A few I apply constantly:
- Decreasing the time it takes you to get out of a bad state will make you emotionally resilient
- Decreasing the time it takes you to go from idea to executive will make you wealthy
- Decreasing the time it takes you to turn a failure into a lesson will thicken your skin faster than anything else
How to master any skill fast:
- stop studying
- outline a project
- start building it
- hit a roadblock
- figure out how to overcome it
- repeat 4 and 5 for the rest of your life
Most people don't get past 1, the rest spiral into complacency after 4.
Call me old fashioned, but I think showing up is the key to life. Show up when it’s hard. Show up when no one’s watching. Show up when you don't feel like it. Show up when the rewards are uncertain. Show up. You can never bet against the person who just keeps showing up.
Nobody tells you this: Dopamine from information gathering is a dangerous drug. It’s the dopamine from reading, planning, or learning, but never doing. Stop looking for more information and start acting on the information you already have. Get your dopamine from action.
I often wonder how many extraordinary people wasted their entire lives waiting to feel ready. Gathering more information. Creating the perfect plan. Simulating progress. Convincing themselves they’d start tomorrow. Readiness is a myth. Action creates clarity. Go do the thing.
vibe coders should understand something:
i love how easy AI is making it for people to build their own apps, push them into production, and start businesses
but let's be clear: the future is not in humans building consumer-facing apps
the future is everything becomes an API which your personal AI agent can interact with in ways which suit your specific needs and lifestyle (down to the very specific needs of you as an individual)
the fact that you can use the machines to build your apps is just an intermediate step to the machines creating the apps for you, LIVE, as you need them
so the value of you learning how to build apps now really lies in you learning how to create a business model behind that app- not in creating the piece of software that is the app itself
sure, there will be templates for how you can interact with those apps/APIs, but your personal AI will pick one and tailor it even further for you. and a lot of the time, you won't even need to interact with a UI beyond speaking with your AI assistant
let me give you an example: would you rather use an app like Uber or Uber Eats, or would you rather just ask your AI assistant to get you a ride somewhere or to show you menus for the type of food you might be interested in and you pick one? the value in apps like that is not in the app installed on your phone. it's in the backend business model which connects the customer with providers. and personal AI assistants actually open the door to you being able to seamlessly use multiple business APIs without worrying in the slightest about which app or intermediate provider they come from
there is a decent chance apps as you know them will be mostly dead in ~5-10 years
and yes, there are some apps which will still require deep optimization and that is where the hardcore coders may still be needed. but machines will get better at that, and if you take one look at the AAA gaming landscape, you should understand that hyper-optimized code isn't as valuable as it used to be
but what will be valuable is owning the APIs with the most use and liquidity. and yes, a lot of those will use public blockchains
things are going to accelerate and get very weird very quickly from here
I am a big believer in $TEL and have been since 2021.
Kraken just listed $TEL 4 days ago. There has been an insignificant amount of volume.
Some days $230k per 24hrs other $25k per 24hrs.
This $TEL's me that the users of Kraken don't see @Telcoin has a good investment relative to other opportunities out there (#Gold, #Silver, $BTC)
If you and I went on a walk around the park, I would tell you with hand on my heart confidence that the Kraken listing hasn't had its effect yet. Think of physics, the potential energy hasn't been converted into kinetic energy yet. For example with the Uphold listing the potential energy materialised into a +100% pump on listing. That hasn't happened yet with the Kraken listing. It is coiling up.
$TEL is undervalued and I am a believer.
Quiet Validation
Eight years of compliance work, banking licenses, telecom partnerships, regulators in the room, code shipped while timelines got mocked. No influencers. No paid hype. Just infrastructure built the hard way while people yelled from the cheap seats.
~95% of all coins launched never make it to a T1 Exchange. This is what “it takes too long” looks like when it actually finishes. This is what happens when you optimize for survival instead of applause. Most projects never make it this far because most projects aren’t built to.
Kraken doesn’t list vibes. They list assets that won’t embarrass them in five years.
And the funny part is this isn’t even the arrival. Mainnet isn’t live yet. The rails are still being finished. This is validation before the real system turns on.
We’re just getting started. The rest of the timeline can cope accordingly.
$TEL is coming to Kraken, expanding US access to the token powering the telecommunications blockchain standard.
Kraken’s commitment to regulated infrastructure aligns with Telcoin Association’s mission: uniting mobile operators around shared blockchain infrastructure to connect billions of users on Telcoin Network.
