...thereโs nearly half a century between me and my kids...
but itโs the ultimate adventure - laughs, surprises, and energy that keeps this old soul young! ๐
Forget "strict dad" - dive in, master the chaos, and stay ahead to earn their respect.
Lately: conquered e-unicycle, roller skates, painting, ocean kayaking, snorkeling, story-writing... tricycle next (proof soon!) ๐คฃ
Welcome to @OldAndTwo, where I'll chaotically spill the beans on family secrets, real-talk tips, and wild stories from our unconventional crew: 55 โ 35 โ 7 โ 5.

Just sit by the river long enough, and youโll watch the bodies of the bitcoins float by. ๐งโโ๏ธ

Congratulations, Bitcoiners. Six years in, the biggest Bitcoin buyer in the world is sitting at his own cost basis, around $75,500. Saylor promised 30% a year. Gold would have doubled his money. The Bitcoin president just got rejected by the voters. Got gold?

๐ข Russia greenlit crypto retail. Yearly limit: $3.6K.
๐ด Thatโs less than what my Florida kids spend on snacks.
๐ต The entire Russian economy is smaller than Texas alone:
๐บ๐ธ TX: ~$2.93T GDP, avg.salary ~$5.6k/mo, 32M people
๐ท๐บ Russia: ~$2.6T GDP, ~$900/mo, 144M people
Global impact is about the same as the humidity in my bathroom on Bitcoin.
WTF DYOR NFA
BREAKING: ๐ท๐บ Russiaโs Central Bank officially approves Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT for public trading starting November 17.
While the US failed on the CLARITY Act, Russia is building!
~20% of people carry the DRD4-7R โwanderlust geneโ, linked to risk-taking and chasing new experiences.
Pure coincidence that most of them ended up as degens.
Imagine if they discover the ERC-20 gene next.
Bullish! ๐

@AshCrypto Not huge, but barely noticeable.
Russia's economy is smaller than Texas's: GDP $2.56T vs $3.04T,
avg. salary ~$950 vs $5,650,
with 144M people vs 31M.
Coinbase just locked a full national trust charter from the OCC.

๐ด Not a real bank tho โ no retail deposits, no lending, no FDIC.
Monday opens bullish! ๐

Definitely more than one. Just few from the top of my mind:
OG DePIN: $IOTX (IoTeX) - building modular DePIN + real-world AI infra since ~2017, almost ignored.
OG RWA: $BST (Blocksquare) - real estate tokenization infra with >$200M in assets, since 2017, still under the radar.
OG modular: $SKL (SKALE) - hybrid L1/L2 network with zero gas fees, since 2018.
All -98% or more below ATH.
The worst-case scenario for crypto is playing out right now.
If Democrats take both chambers:
- CLARITY Act is dead in the water. Indefinitely.
- Senate Banking goes to Elizabeth Warren, cryptoโs most hardcore opponent.
- House Financial Services goes to Maxine Waters. Not exactly a friend of the industry.
- Every possible investigation into Trumpโs crypto dealings gets launched, guaranteed. With all the fallout that comes with it.
Yes, Trump stays in office until 2029 and can veto anti-crypto bills.
Yes, SEC and CFTC can keep regulating without Congress.
Yes, not every Democrat is anti-crypto.
Doesnโt matter.
Every key committee and the whole agenda would be run by crypto skeptics.
Thatโs materially worse for the industry than Republican control.
No panic dump, I guess itโs already priced in.
But whatโs ahead is probably a looooong, cold crypto winter.
Hope Iโm wrong. โ๏ธ
Blocksquare @blocksquare_io: non-stop shipping since 2018, ~$217M tokenized and working rails.
TX @txEcosystem: RWA-native L1, live USTX, marketplace coming.
๐ข Two builders, assets + distribution. Quiet handshake, no hype, no promises.
Still MOU / exploratory.
๐ด Super early, high risk. $BST โ98%, $TX โ94% ATH.
The synergy is actually interesting. I'm in.
NFA. DYOR. GL x2.
tx is partnering with @blocksquare_io, whose infrastructure has tokenized over $200M in real estate.
This collaboration aims to explore distribution of Blocksquareโs property tokens on txโs upcoming marketplace and expand on-chain access to real estate opportunities.
