it's actually shocking to me how many people 'in crypto' are not onchain maxis

overwhelming evidence imo that almost everything in crypto that succeeds is almost fully onchain rather than being some weird fintechy mix of offchain and onchain

main (only?) exception is CEXs & now even that is getting eaten into by Hyperliquid chainmaxi approach

@Jesseeckel Wow, didn't know the next halfing would come in April 2026, only 2 years early.

Great speaking with @MarleyKayden and @daven007 on @SchwabNetwork about @coreweave's earnings.

AI continues to benefit from $BTC mining, but is $CRWV outpacing its competitors?

For everyone panic selling right now, you're stuck in a loop.

@ahaywa and @DecryptMedia have some great insights from others, too

@scottmelker Tom was specifically saying that the worst DATs have begun to washout - and that higher quality ones are on the way.

[Michael Maloney @Blockchain_Mike]

Loved speaking at @SchwabNetwork on Bitcoin beating the #governmentshutdown2025 . We're also seeing capital markets for a traditionalization of crypto; the winning DATs will have to learn how to TradFi.

Happy to have been included in @CharlesLBovaird 's article looking at #Uptober's Bitcoin movements!

Shout out to @CryptoWendyO accurate prediction that the #shutdown could squash news guidance, and that's going to cause market uncertainty!

Had a great time speaking with @NEWSMAX about stablecoins "nuclear moment" (in a good way).

With now over a dozen USD stablecoins on the horizon, and DATs forming up to support them, US dollar policy is poised to enter a nuclear era!

The US/UK joint taskforce on crypto could unlock a new host of capital markets - and crypto use cases. This is a huge event on the horizon.

Cryptocurrencies have taken a tumble lately as investors use them as a source of liquidity to purchased other assets like stocks, according to multiple analysts. https://t.co/Ht9Q2gWBB8 @ForbesCrypto #Crypto #Stocks

Conclusion: I'm sure there's more but - and maybe even a bit of salvage.

Ultimately, this is just more of the administrations fundamental misunderstanding of the industry.

I got a B- on my report predictions. But what's in it should worry anyone who cares about self-custody and decentralization.

[Michael Maloney @Blockchain_Mike]

There’s a small gift that “non‑controlling blockchains” may not be able to register as MSBs, but the above requirements offers a soft (and slippery) path to regulating code and front-end. Decentralized protocols don’t have a single front-end, and restricting them is futile.
