SHOTS FIRED: Morgan Stanley is rolling out crypto trading on its E*Trade platform for 50bps/trade, undercutting Schwab's 75bps (who undercut Coinbase). If I know Schwab, they likely won't let this stand. Others will prob undercut too. By the time the dust settles it'll be pretty dirt cheap to trade crypto everywhere- just was we saw with btc ETF exp ratios prior to launch. This is why TradFi is no joke and crypto exchanges should be scared.

Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren

She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements.

Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service.

JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes.

The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%.

For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%.

Warren said no.

She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024.

Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year.

Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug.

510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December.

14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight.

And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms.

Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back.

40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market.

And the math ain’t mathing.

Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%.

That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.”

So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money?

Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years.

Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do.

Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.”

A win.

14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight.

And she’s taking credit.

This is socialism in 2026.

A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company.

She saved you a billion on imaginary paper.

She cost you ten times that in real life.

She didn’t protect consumers from anything.

14,000+ will go from working to welfare.

She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed.

Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything.

She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.

Coinbase has been named as a custodian for the @MorganStanley Bitcoin Trust.

Institutional adoption continues, regardless of short term price effects.

AI agents have made 140 million payments to each other.

$43M in volume.
Average transaction: $0.31. 98.6% settled in USDC.

The agent economy is here. And enterprises are next.

True.

Once the solar energy generation to robot manufacturing to chip fabrication to AI loop is closed, conventional currency will just get in the way.

Just wattage and tonnage will matter, not dollars.

Agree, let’s do it!

@nic_carter Just painful on so many levels .

[0xDB @amyodb]

@dgt10011 Many people want to put on the trade, but forget about risk management. Those that consider both are not dwelling on a Black Friday event, but rebalancing and taking advantage of the move. You are also right about staying in the game!

[0xDB @amyodb]

@dgt10011 Interesting take

Imagine the balls it takes to not only hodl what is now $1.1 Billion worth of Bitcoin for 14 years from a $7800 cost basis, but to just send it all out with a single click and no test transaction.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Yes.

A massive strategic error is being made right now to damage solar/battery that will leave America extremely vulnerable in the future.

@nic_carter It’s not the technology, it’s the humans that are the problem .

@nic_carter You may still have a decoupling let’s see where the market goes here in Asia and US tomorrow.

@nic_carter This is a disaster.
