We lost on getting the Bitcoin & crypto tax amendment in BBB. It sucks. This is one of the top sets of issues we’ve been advocating for… maybe we get it in a new bill or we take another swing in next years budget… but we’ll get it done.

Thank you @SenLummis for your leadership

Attended Robinhood’s crypto event in person on Monday. The guest list alone said a lot: protocol founders side by side with Apollo and Jane Street.

Be excited, be fearful.

It’s historically been rare to see a company that credibly bridges both sides of the aisle: crypto-native and traditional. Today, Robinhood speaks fluently to both, a powerful position in today's market.

While many of the product announcements were expected (US staking, tokenized stocks, perps, their own chain), what stood out most was pace. Nearly everything previewed in earnings calls and investor presentations over the past 8 months is now either live or actively being demoed.

That signals more than pure execution competence: it marks a shift in what’s possible in crypto now. Performance bottlenecks and UX drag have meaningfully improved. Regulation has thawed, first in the US and soon everywhere.

In 2021, companies were “adding crypto” at the edges. Today, crypto is core: to growth, product, and business lines. Every scaled fintech I speak with is thinking about their crypto strategy. They are watching crypto contribute to the majority of Robinhood's transaction-based revenue today. They are watching Stripe's acquisitions of Bridge and Privy.

For founders, this moment marks a real inflection. Not simply because Robinhood and other fintechs are entering crypto, but because they’re integrating it deeply enough that the line between “crypto” and “not” is disappearing.

Crypto no longer needs to be called out explicitly. When it works, it fades into the background as rails powering familiar experiences. Nowhere was that clearer than in Robinhood’s EU app rebrand. What was 'Robinhood Crypto' is now just 'Robinhood.' A small, but meaningful change.

Robinhood’s stated goals to (1) expand share of wallet, (2) become a global financial system, and (3) grow their active trader base overlaps with the ambitions of many of the crypto teams I work with.

The convergence is good for the space and for some founders. The pie is growing and becoming more legible as the biggest fintechs in the world do the evangelism with you.

But it's now a different race. The bar is rising. The window of opportunity is shrinking.

Plan accordingly.

Clarification: why I do what I do

People tell me my recent posts are just hype to pump my bags? Okay, let’s go back to the beginning.

In 2022, I discovered Bittensor. At that time, the project had zero visibility on social media.
In 2023, I joined Moonshoot TAO, a group created by @badenglishtea and @Toddsteez purely to promote the network. All of it was done for free, just to support $TAO. And let’s not forget, it’s thanks to Moonshoot that the excellent documentary on Bittensor was made by the brilliant @evert_scott

Yes, my posts since 2022 are hype... because I want to support Bittensor in my own way while also working to grow my bag.

This year saw the rise of #dTAO and its puppy diseases. I took the risk early on to go 100% exposed on dTAO, something very few people did.
My goal? Explore and be early. It helped me grow my TAO bag. Now I’ve reduced my exposure and I’m looking for opportunities on empty slots. It’s purely speculative and extremely risky.

But my risk is controlled. I have never asked anyone to follow what I do. I simply share my experience. Unfortunately, this young market needs fixes, or it’ll turn into a circus. And even though the solid projects keep losing value, my wallet stays balanced... thanks to empty subnets. It’s crazy, but that’s how it is.

Every day I see the same game: insiders trading slots between themselves, flashy announcements, artificial pumps... I even suspect some own ghost subnets and collect easy daily income.

Yes, I’m positioned on the most promising projects. But also on slots where volume goes crazy as soon as ownership changes. Yesterday I jumped on 66. Why wouldn’t I?

At its core, dTAO is supposed to reward the best projects. But dTAO has flaws:

– why not block empty slots?
– why not temporarily freeze subnets when ownership changes?
– why not give ghost subnet owners a deadline, then delete the slot if nothing happens?

If the protocol allows anyone to get emissions with zero added value for the network, why should I stop myself from trying to benefit? We’ve always been told the example comes from the top, and clearly, things are far from perfect and probably never will be.

I have a list of these far-too-many projects that feel like metastases. Prices move up and down fast, and I’m opportunistic. Yes, the tech is great. But I’m here to make money too, money that lets me buy free time and escape the sick system I’m forced to survive in right now.

I’m reflecting on how much time and energy I keep putting into Bittensor. It’s been thousands of hours since 2022. Maybe one day I’ll keep my research just for myself and a few friends.

And to those who think I’m just trying to take advantage of others: know that I’ve been on this earth for half a century. I don’t have another 20 years ahead of me to start enjoying life. If I were 20, I’d quietly stack the network’s solid promises. One of these many startups will probably break out, but it’ll take time.

Without fresh liquidity, #dTAO is just a speculative game, full of incentives and “encouragements.” I’ll just encourage people to do their own research and build their own plan.

I have some $BTC bought under 20k, a few altcoins wrecked in PLS, and of course $TAO is my strongest conviction. Maybe it’ll get me where I want to go. Maybe it’ll just be another empty promise, and I’ll have wasted years.

Alongside Bittensor, I also bet on Creator Bid, $BID, $TAOLOR, $SHOGUN... and yes, I’m still speculating on #SN98 , maybe it’s nothing, but every day I collect a few TAO fractions on these bets.

Should I leave those TAO only to the insiders and whales who have no shame using their own communities as exit liquidity? Just look at how the whales dumped on promising projects. The same game will play out again and again.

DYOR. And if you don’t like my content, unfollow me. Even better, create content yourself. You’ll see: once you go deep down the rabbit hole, the rainbow disappears.

I remain optimistic about Bittensor. This is just a transparent clarification.

I write what I want,
when I want.
I’m free.

Have a great day, everyone.

The best subnet on Bittensor $TAO is on discount.

Every subnets are stuggling, except the very low marketcap ones actually.

Watch the charts and vibes, position based on facts not hype

I wish I had loaded $MASK at 1M.

I wish I had loaded it at 3M when they were building a strong community.

I wish I had aped in at 10M when everyone was talking about it.

I wish I had gone all in at 15M; I could have at least doubled my net worth.

If this was running through your mind while MASK was pumping, now is your time to seize the moment.

Ape in and let the cult do the rest.
