THE SOVEREIGN REVOLUTION
I believe Bitcoin is the beginning of the Sixth Technological Revolution in the framework of @pmarca's favorite economist, @CarlotaPrzPerez.
Tell me why I'm wrong!
@BitcoinMagazine I love that Sen. Warren has spent her life watching out for the little guy. She helped identify that a serious medical problem often resulted in bankruptcy for middle class people. But please, help us now by learning about crypto and support us by voting Yes on this bill.

BlackRock’s former Head of Crypto explains how he pitches ETH to Wall Street
“The first thing we do is explain the Ethereum opportunity. Stablecoins, which are today about $310 billion, are going to trillions. Tokenized assets today are about $32 billion and going to trillions as well. Institutional DeFi adoption is happening like we’ve never seen before. We’ll get to agentic in a minute, but explaining to them — and they agree wholeheartedly — that the Ethereum ecosystem is going to be the future settlement layer for finance is the first step.”
After explaining that Ethereum is going to be the global world ledger, Joseph Chalom, who is now the CEO of the $1.5 billion Ethereum treasury company Sharplink, talks about ETH the asset:
“As the Ethereum ecosystem grows, you need more Ether to secure and settle these transactions. Therefore, Ether ends up becoming a trust commodity. We start with the principles and fundamentals . . . What we don’t do is make up numbers and talk about short-term price predictions for Ether.”
The other thing Joseph does not do is compare Ether to Bitcoin.
“The second narrative that people use typically is that [Ethereum] is ‘little brother’ to ‘big brother’ Bitcoin and that ETH is just some relative coefficient of the value of BTC and they need to trade together. What we’re trying to explain is that there is intrinsic value and Ether is going to be the trust commodity that is going to secure the future of finance . . . The number one thing to do is not make up numbers. And then number two, [Ethereum] is not a derivative of Bitcoin. It has intrinsic value to the future of the financial system.”
💥 2026 could be a banger for markets. @RaoulGMI and @rektmando for #RektVision.
Massive liquidity, policy shifts, and debt rolling could drive historic gains.

@DefiDfyn Thank you for sharing your story. This is the first time I've ever responded to a post. I tend not to engage unless I understand, but I've long enjoyed your name on my follower's list. You had me at the Rekt guy (similar to my own) avatar. Now I'll appreciate it even more.
I am pushing for a ban on single-stock trading in Congress. The American people deserve better than politicians like @RonWyden and @SpeakerPelosi with hedge-fund level returns. Public service should be about serving the people, not getting rich.
Say goodbye to the 4 year cycle?
@osf_rekt believes that’s over in the age of institutional crypto adoption
He thinks we’ll see a prolonged market rally over the rest of this decade 👀
