Green flags in people:
They celebrate your wins
Remember small things about you
They respect your boundaries
You feel energized after seeing them
They listen without being defensive
They allow you to be fully yourself
They make you feel safe
You don't have to watch what you say
They support your goals
The right people do not make you manage their ego just to know them.

Ben Affleck couldn't be anymore wrong...
AI is moving to the Blockchain and bc of this the AI Industry is waiting for the Clarity Act to be passed.
The Clarity Act is much more than Stablecoins and interest. It involves Staking, Micro Payments, RWA Classification, On/Off Chain Title, Commodities and Securities, etc...
Clarity for the Industry is needed before the AI Industry on the Blockchain moves forward.
Once a clear consensus of what all of this is and means, the market will respond opening the floodgates of investment and allow Blockchain technology to scale AI models exponetially.
The Clarity Act will change the fabric of global Blockchain along with the future of AI and Finance forever.
I look forward to everyone who are working on these issues to come to a conclusion soon.
As the biggest Industry on the planet is being held back by what I believe to be self serving interest rather than serving the AI, Blockchain and Crypto Industry as a whole.

Bitcoin is the reserve asset.
Ethereum is the internet of value.
Solana is the consumer engine.
Cardano is the formal-verification chain.
XRP is the liquidity bridge.
If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.
Is Bitcoin Patented? I posit that any expert that doesn't say such either doesn't know the field intimately or is deliberately trying to conceal. My discussion with an LLM.

Here is my ten point plan for crypto policy in the United States.
This is what I hope and pray the outcome of the White House Crypto meeting on Friday will be:
1. Bitcoin strategic reserve is relegated to Proof of Work assets only with a fully diluted market cap of $500 billion or more
2. Crypto asset investments will be relegated to a sovereign wealth fund based on strategic value to the U.S. as we adopt DeFi as the new banking system.
3. The SEC and CFTC will coordinate to form a sandbox allowing new projects to raise funds and declare intentions to “fully decentralize” within 48 months. No “no action letters” required. Existing projects are grandfathered. Just file the paperwork if required.
4. Stablecoin issuers can be licensed in any jurisdiction deemed acceptable under normal qualified custodian rules including international jurisdictions
5. Exchanges and custodians may be licensed at the state level or via OCC charter. Federal charter trumps state licensing.
6. Open source developers are NOT money transmitters and are not responsible for the actions of anyone except themselves.
7. Yield and staking paid/earned automatically in-kind on crypto are NOT securities. This includes proof of work mining, PoS staking and DeFi lending.
8. Crypto companies will not be blocked for banking services by any bank that services any other legal business. Banks are not required to audit AML programs of crypto customers.
9. Crypto Futures products such as perpetual futures paid/collateralized “in-kind” may be offered via a “crypto futures license” offered by the CFTC (this moving bybit onshore)
10. It is the policy of this council to do whatever is necessary to avoid “regulatory capture” advantages being given to anyone including members of this council and this administration.

They don’t ban speech to protect you. They ban speech to control you.
That’s why today, I’m introducing a bipartisan, bicameral bill to repeal the TikTok ban.
Can confirm this is true. It was one of the most unethical and un-American things that happened in the Biden administration, and my guess is we'll find Elizabeth Warren's fingerprints all over it (Biden himself was probably unaware).
We're still collecting documents via FOIA requests, so hopefully the full story emerges of who was involved and whether they broke any laws.
Warren and Gensler tried to unlawfully kill our entire industry, and it was a major factor in the Dems losing the election. The Democratic party should realize Warren is a liability and further distance themselves if they want to have any hope of rebuilding.

Where is Bitcoin in the cycle?

At the very beginning of its ~300-day Parabolic Upside phase in the cycle

No matter your political preference or whether you like what happened or what’s yet to happen. But I’m certain you don’t fully grasp the fork in human civilization that began yesterday.
