Larry Fink said, “ the crypto market is overloaded with people using other people money to hedge (the leverage class) .Institutions need to flush them out and will continue to flush. Only then are we able to safely measure the value. They don’t move like us, they move us then move themselves!
@CollinRugg Sunny family use to have slaves - their blood line were slave owners! Just think about that. Slave owners helped them become financially successful and able to lecture everyone else! Crazy right

I tried listening to the Wilfred Frost podcast with Karis Witcher, but I couldn’t finish it.
My impression was that the conversation focused far more on criticizing innovators than on giving credit where it was due. I don’t mind tough questions or healthy skepticism—they’re important—but I came away feeling that nearly every accomplishment was viewed through a negative lens.
What disappointed me most was the apparent inconsistency. Some people seemed to receive the benefit of the doubt, while others were judged much more harshly. I also sensed some political bias, which made the discussion feel less objective than I was hoping for.
I enjoy podcasts that challenge ideas while still acknowledging the courage it takes to build companies, create new technologies, and take risks. This episode, for me, felt overwhelmingly critical rather than balanced, and that’s why I stopped listening. Imagine this person had the power to limit speech - do you think she would side on the 1st amendment or reverse it. My last thought is she should have said less.
@elonmusk The mind virus is California has unfortunately infected everyone. I immigrated and ended up her and it is unrecognizable because of the zombie mind infection. It is extremely hard to find anyone who love America.
Homeless, yachtless Elon Musk, who actually builds rockets, EVs, and neural tech trying to benefit humanity, should apparently cough up $50 billion in taxes on unrealized gains.
Meanwhile, Laurene Powell Jobs ($15B inherited), Nancy Walton ($20B inherited), and MacKenzie Scott ($40B divorce) never built shit, never risked shit, and never shipped a single product that changed the world.
But they get the praise and zero scrutiny. Because they have the right politics.
(BTW ~25% of Walmart employees are on government benefits.)
Nothing screams TRUE SOCIALIST like:
-A millionaire who owns 3 homes
-Arriving in a huge SUV
-To his private jet
-To fly out and give a paid speech
-On the evils of capitalism and fossil fuels
Am I right?
When insignificance is given a opportunity to offer positive outcomes absolutely gives nothing to future advancements. This is a man who has never even made a wooden cutting board but sits on a throne on those who have saying it will fail. Pathetic interview because behind his message is hateful politics
Today looks like a stress-test unload: capital came out of the majors, Solana failed the liquidity test hardest, and Ethereum remained the main rail where stablecoins parked during the pullback. LET ME EXPLAIN -
Heavy risk-off unload — Ethereum is being used as the liquidity parking rail.
This is one of the weaker reports. Not because Ethereum lost the thesis, but because TVL came out of almost every major rail.
Big picture
Total tracked TVL dropped to $130.25B. Ethereum still controls $79.18B, or 60.79% of tracked TVL. The Ethereum economic sphere is still $89.73B, or 68.90% of tracked TVL.
So even after the selloff, Ethereum plus its orbit still owns the map.
Stablecoin supply also dropped to $259.91B. Ethereum still holds $127.86B in stablecoins, or 49.19%, while Tron holds $87.78B, or 33.77%.
Main signal: Ethereum defensive liquidity buildup
V4.1 labels Ethereum:
DEFENSIVE LIQUIDITY BUILDUP
Ethereum had:
TVL down: -$2.02B
Stablecoins up: +$173.0M
Developer gravity: flat/up slightly
That means capital value left, but stablecoins moved into Ethereum.
That fits your rail-testing idea perfectly:
When things get shaky, liquidity parks on Ethereum.
Biggest warning: Solana
Solana had the worst major signal today.
V4.1 labels Solana:
CAPITAL + LIQUIDITY LEAVING
Solana had:
TVL down: -$215.5M
Stablecoins down: -$443.3M
Developer gravity: flat
The stablecoin report confirms the pressure: Solana lost USDC -$242.8M and USDT -$200.5M.
That is not just TVL weakness. That is liquidity leaving the rail.
Base also weakened
Base had:
TVL down: -$81.8M
Stablecoins down: -$60.0M
Developers: flat
V4.1 labels Base:
CAPITAL + LIQUIDITY LEAVING
Base still matters long term because it remains inside the Ethereum orbit, but today was not confirmation.
Avalanche is the interesting positive divergence
Avalanche did not get capital confirmation, but it did get liquidity + builder strength.
V4.1 labels Avalanche:
LIQUIDITY + BUILDERS UP / CAPITAL ROTATING OUT
Avalanche had stablecoins up +$25.4M and developer gravity up +24.00, while TVL fell -$31.9M.
That means it is not a clean strength signal yet, but it is worth watching.
Arbitrum and Near
Arbitrum had TVL down -$44.6M, but stablecoins up +$28.3M, so V4.1 calls it:
DEFENSIVE LIQUIDITY BUILDUP
Near had TVL basically flat, but stablecoins up +$48.2M, so it is marked as:
DOLLAR LIQUIDITY ACCUMULATION
Those are not full-strength signals, but they show where dollars are still being parked.
