Finance wasn’t built to be interoperable.
It grew in silos — local rails, national currencies, fragmented capital markets.
Stablecoins are starting to change that.
They’ve become the middleware layer of global finance — bridging payment systems, treasury flows, and even sovereign debt markets.
Today, issuers like Tether hold over $100B in U.S. Treasuries. More than many governments.
And with the GENIUS Act advancing, this role is likely to become formalized.
It’s no longer just about faster payments.
It’s about programmable, global liquidity, available 24/7.
For regions like Latin America, this shift could finally close the gap between local economies and global capital flows.
The financial core is being rewritten. On-chain.
uhhhh thats not how this works. If i threaten to put my dick on the table, its a negotiation up until i unzip my pants. Once my dick is on the table, im just a perv with a dick on a table.
Right now there are a lot of new eyes on Signal, and not all of them are familiar with secure messaging and its nuances. Which means there’s misinfo flying around that might drive people away from Signal and private communications.
One piece of misinfo we need to address is the claim that there are ‘vulnerabilities’ in Signal. This isn’t accurate. Reporting on a Pentagon advisory memo appears to be at the heart of the misunderstanding: https://t.co/QfWgOxHAzp. The memo used the term ‘vulnerability’ in relation to Signal—but it had nothing to do with Signal’s core tech. It was warning against phishing scams targeting Signal users.
Phishing isn’t new, and it’s not a flaw in our encryption or any of Signal’s underlying technology. Phishing attacks are a constant threat for popular apps and websites.
In order to help protect people from falling victim to sophisticated phishing attacks, Signal introduced new user flows and in-app warnings. This work has been completed for some time and is unrelated to any current events. If you’re interested in learning more, this WIRED article from February 19th (over a month ago) goes into more detail:

Signal is open source, so our code is regularly scrutinized in addition to regular formal audits. We also constantly monitor [email protected] for any new reports, and we act on them with quickness while also working to protect the people who rely on us from outside threats like phishing with warnings and safeguards.
This is why Signal remains the gold standard for private, secure communications.
Signal is blocked in several countries but you can set up a proxy server to help people access Signal no matter where they live. Here’s how:

Thank you for helping keep Signal available for everyone who needs it.

I try not to be a hater.
But certain bitcoin people should absolutely focus less on creating more socks, books, hats, podcasts, cereals, coffees, and acting like “we’ve already won.”
We haven’t.
We’ve barely started.
Do something that accelerates this experiment.
Polymarket is the news.
It priced in a 10%+ chance of Biden dropping out, even before the debate. Meanwhile, legacy media claimed Biden's senility was a conspiracy theory.
No journos, only crypto.
Virtually nobody is pricing in what's coming in AI.
