AI isn't an energy problem; it's a Jevons Paradox problem. It’s so energy-efficient to generate intelligence now that we’re doing it at a scale humanity never imagined. We aren't 'wasting' energy—we’re finally digitizing the massive metabolic cost of human thought. Thoughts? 🧵 #TechTrends #GreenAI
My wife and I are seeding 25M kids with $250 each, and the government is giving newborns $1,000. 🇺🇸🚀

NICK SHIRLEY: "I’m here today to speak on behalf of all hardworking, law-abiding, taxpaying citizens here inside of the United States."
"We the people have had enough of our hard-earned money going towards fraudsters as if it’s no big deal. As I speak here, I want to ask everyone a question: how much do we trust when we pay our taxes it’s going to benefit our nation?"
After reviewing the Senate Banking draft text over the last 48hrs, Coinbase unfortunately can’t support the bill as written.
There are too many issues, including:
- A defacto ban on tokenized equities
- DeFi prohibitions, giving the government unlimited access to your financial records and removing your right to privacy
- Erosion of the CFTC’s authority, stifling innovation and making it subservient to the SEC
- Draft amendments that would kill rewards on stablecoins, allowing banks to ban their competition
We appreciate all the hard work by members of the Senate to reach a bi-partisan outcome, but this version would be materially worse than the current status quo. We’d rather have no bill than a bad bill. Hopefully we can all get to a better draft.
We'll keep fighting for all Americans and for economic freedom. Crypto needs to be treated on a level playing field with the rest of financial services so we can build this industry in a safe and trusted way in America.
@KevinMelnuk@RJScaringe Did not go Rivian due to delays. In fact they kept my deposit which wasn’t fair. Tried lightning, but went with F150 hybrid. Love it
BlackRock's bitcoin ETF is the most successful product in Wall Street history.
$IBIT hit $100 billion 4x faster than any other ETF launch.
@EricBalchunas doesn't expect this to slow down.
Larry Fink’s talk track around #bitcoin being an asset of fear is misguided IMO. It’s clearly an asset of hope, purpose and intention. Designed to “fix the money”. Like #gold, but engineered to be better (especially over the long term). @BlackRock@saylor@SimplyBitcoin
Today marks a major milestone for institutional crypto adoption.
@Coinbase’s Crypto-as-a-Service platform is now powering @PNCBank’s launch of direct bitcoin trading for PNC Private Bank clients – the first to market with such an offering among the major U.S. banks.
What if first-time homebuyers got a tiered mortgage rate to improve affordability?
•3% on the first chunk (up to avg home price)
•+Y% on the next $250k
•Rates step up until a cap is hit
A simple way to make entry-level homes actually attainable again.
@elonmusk just thank you! I deeply appreciate your focus on creating human optimism! Question: Are you mentoring your successors? We need to keep your momentum going. Be well
@krogoff just admin you were wrong. Your post shows your clear lack of understanding of what #bitcoin is and why it exists. Its value and usefulness is undeniable #DigitalGold#supplyanddemand101
Almost a decade ago I was the Harvard economist that said that bitcoin was more likely to be worth $100 than 100k. What did I miss? I was far too optimistic about the US coming to its senses about sensible cryptocurrency regulation; why would policymakers want to facilitate tax evasion and illegal activities? Second, I did not appreciate how Bitcoin would compete with fiat currencies to serve as the transactions medium of choice in the twenty-trillion dollar global underground economy. This demand puts a floor on its price, as I discuss at length in my new book Our Dollar, Your Problem. Third, I did not anticipate a situation where regulators, and especially the regulator in chief, would be able to brazenly hold hundreds of millions (if not billions) of dollars in cryptocurrencies seemingly without consequence given the blatant conflict of interest.
