Might as well call it Trumpcare now.

Our party has made no serious effort to repeal Obamacare and legalize affordable health insurance after taking control of the House, Senate & White House.

Why? Because the current system enriches insurance and hospital companies.

I’m seeing a LOT of crypto panic right now. Rookies are losing their minds. Im ready to ride this to the next ATH. #BTC

Bitcoin has been a game changer. 🚀

Bitcoin payments save us money in processing fees, which we use to improve our food quality to make America healthier again, with tasty grass-fed burgers and beef tallow fries. 🍔🍟

For over a year, our sales have been up double digits. Thank you Bitcoiners!

All Bitcoin payments go into our Strategic Bitcoin Reserve

How are 30yr treasury bonds considered safe? I know you can trade them, but I can’t imagine holding that to its maturity date. #BTC

Bitcoin won't be "dead" for too long.

Don't panic, in large friendly letters.

[Aya Miyaguchi @AyaMiyagotchi]

Vitalik shared his perspective on where @ethereumfndn is heading. Here is mine, another part of the same story.

The EF Mandate from the board was something I proposed late last year. Two main things prompted me. First, debates that were meant to be technical had started to become political and personal, and at times shaped by quieter incentives. Second, as EF grew, more and more versions of "what EF should be" began pulling at the core of the organization from every direction at once. I became convinced that trying to satisfy all of them would leave us achieving nothing at all. It was time for us to restate our role and underlying principles clearly, both the parts that have been clear from the start and those that have been informed by over a decade of experience.

We have said it many times: EF is one of many nodes in Ethereum. I know that is hard to hear for some, because EF was the first group, and in the early years it was essential for making things happen. But it was never meant to stay that way.

I have been in crypto since 2012, before it became an "industry." I joined Kraken in 2013, shortly before the implosion of Mt. Gox, which I helped to clean up. I am very aware of how real growth works, and also aware of the real risks of centralization. So when I became ED in 2018, I understood that Ethereum growing beyond EF would be essential to fulfill its real promise as a public blockchain. The goal I set for myself was to ensure that this happens.

The opposite path has always been untenable: Ethereum's future is too big for any single organization to bring about. So EF made deliberate choices to distribute power. We did incubate and release, like Uniswap and ENS. Support to seed a new norm, like ETHGlobal and the hackathons that are now everywhere. Funding the funders, like Gitcoin and Moloch. We always asked the same question: how does this stand on its own, without us?

Those experiments, alongside the work of countless others, contributed to where we are today. Ethereum is now far bigger than anything EF could coordinate alone. EF now holds less than 0.2% of all ETH, and the return on all of that shared work, together with extraordinary people across the ecosystem, has been beyond anything we could have built by ourselves.

That is exactly why a focused EF is possible now. The Mandate states simply the one thing EF must keep carrying: preserving and accelerating the properties and goals that keep Ethereum uniquely valuable, competitive, and worth building on. That is: CROPS - for the sake of inalienable user self-sovereignty and self-sovereign coordination. We cannot do it alone, and we do not intend to. But defining this as the north star for the mission, and coordinating with the allies who share it, is the responsibility we are keeping.

None of this means EF stops caring about adoption, for everyday users or for institutions. The opposite is true: everything we do is ultimately for the people who use Ethereum. Supporting adoption, including institutional adoption, remains part of our work, pursued in the ways that fit our mission. The value proposition of Ethereum for both everyday users and institutions rests heavily on this.

As EF becomes more focused and more opinionated, the team naturally becomes smaller and more concentrated. That is part of the choice. New leaders are already stepping into this mission and growing within it, and you will hear more from our management in the coming weeks, about what they are doing, and about the new structure and strategy taking shape.

The mission we carry is not a smaller one, but a clearer one. Special thanks to those who have stepped in to support, defend and advance it.

[Nancy Mace @NancyMace]

I voted to release the Epstein files. NO REGRETS. 🇺🇸

[Evan Kilgore 🇺🇸 @EvanAKilgore]

President Trump just endorsed Nancy Mace's opponent over her in the South Carolina Governor's race.

Let me remind you...

Nancy Mace is one of ONLY Republican Congresswomen who vocally fought alongside Thomas Massie for the release of the Epstein Files.

It all makes sense.

[Karl K. Wuckert @KarlWuckert]

Trump’s removal of Thomas Massie only confirmed Massie is the only honest man in Washington.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

@WhiteHouse @mevans5729 Zero investigations, indictments, arrests, or even so much as a parking ticket for Epstein’s coconspirators. As Melania said, Epstein did not act alone.

I always thought of the EF as training wheels. Absolutely needed early on, but was always going to be consumed by the community. #ETH
