@ProofOfMoney @Blockware @MitchellAskew That's material non public info and must remain so!

[John Haar @jhaarblockware]

I'm pumped to be joining the @Blockware team!

It's clear to me that individuals can benefit tremendously from Blockware's offering — in terms of stacking more Bitcoin and minimizing taxes.

I absolutely loved my 4+ years at Swan. I worked with so many great clients & coworkers, and I look forward to maintaining those relationships for years to come.

I have tons of respect for Cory, Yan, Brady, Brandon and the whole team at Swan.

You'll be hearing more from me about Blockware soon!

@RebelEconProf I would love to hear you elaborate on this one, including potential paths to avoid leftism without abandoning industrialization and urbanization.

[John Haar @jhaarblockware]

@Jim_Jordan Another way to say this is that the most basic functions of government are border security, election seucrity, and keeping criminals off the streets.

Democrats are an abject failure on all 3.

[John Haar @jhaarblockware]

@mikeom19 @Jason You seriously think Trump's comments on the debt are worse than the Democrats' failure to provide the most basic functions of government? Border security, keeping criminals off the streets, election security.

We have 2 options to choose from. It's really simple.

@stevehou It's not even a paradox

[John Haar @jhaarblockware]

Hot take: Jevons' Paradox is not a paradox.

It is literally explaining supply & demand.

The cost/price of [X] went down, now more people are willing and able to consume more of it.

"Hey bro, [X] costs wayyyy less per unit now. Will you consume more or less?"

"Ummm, more."

[John Haar @jhaarblockware]

@BitPaine Agreed. I highlighted 9 items here to contrast 2022 with the present environment.

The specific call for $65k being a floor was proven wrong. But I strongly believe 2022 was a unique period and we shouldn't expect 2026 to play out the same way.

Another Pat Buchanan 🎯

[Will Tanner @Will_Tanner_1]

Pat Buchanan: Leftist “ideas have made Western elites apparently indifferent to the death of their civilization. They do not seem to care if the end of the West comes by depopulation, by a surrender of nationhood, or by drowning in waves of Third World immigration. Now that all the Western empires are gone, Western Man, relieved of his duty to civilize and Christianize mankind, reveling in luxury in our age of self-indulgence, seems to have lost his will to live and reconciled himself to his impending death.”

[John Haar @jhaarblockware]

Pat Buchanan wrote this in 2002.

Well, we're at Dow Jones 49,000, and it's not paradise.

@grok Can you provide evidence to support the idea that Patrick J. Buchanan was extremely prescient in terms of identifying problems faced by America, and in terms of him effectively championing many of Trump's policies many years in advance?

@AlpacaAurelius Always has been

[John Haar @jhaarblockware]

@BitPaine Yup

[John Haar @jhaarblockware]

To believe Bitcoin's primary purpose is for payments is to misunderstand the following realities:

▪️Nearly the entire planet faces a store-of-value problem (an inflation problem)
▪️Developed countries don't have significant payments problems... neither from a tech nor censorship perspective
▪️Developing countries which do have payments problems often don't want to use Bitcoin because it's too volatile or too unknown for people who live paycheck to paycheck

Store-of-value isn't "just a neat byproduct."

Store-of-value is a critical function of MONEY, and it is needed far more than payments/MoE.

At this point in time, payments/MoE is Bitcoin's neat byproduct.

[Cory 🦢 Real Bitcoin @ Swan.com @CorySwan]

Clarity Act odds just dropped from 70% to 31%

Here's @NYDIG on what Clarity would change for Bitcoin (the legislation is mostly about cryptoblockchaindefi):

"Bitcoin's incremental upside from CLARITY passage is smaller than for altcoins because the CFTC has treated bitcoin as a commodity since 2015, while regulated futures and spot ETFs have already established substantial institutional market access.

The March 17, 2026 SEC-CFTC interpretative guidance further reinforces that treatment, but CLARITY would provide greater statutory durability and facilitate deeper integration into regulated banking and brokerage infrastructure.

More concretely, barring treatment of custodied bitcoin as a balance-sheet liability, combined with the new bank broker-dealer registration categories, gives banks a direct path to custody, execution, and settlement of bitcoin under one regulatory roof rather than routing clients to unregulated or offshore venues.

That matters most for collateral and margining. Bitcoin held at a CFTC-registered bank custodian is a cleaner asset to pledge against a loan or post as margin than bitcoin held at a non-bank custodian operating under today's patchwork of state licensing.

The practical effect is bitcoin's full integration into existing prime brokerage and lending infrastructure, at bank-grade custody standards, rather than a parallel crypto-native stack running alongside it."

[John Haar @jhaarblockware]

Bitcoin should get some tailwinds soon.

Factors which ostensibly caused the ~50% price decline get exhausted or start to work in Bitcoin's favor.

Not in the graphic: Clarity Act

I do believe Clarity Act passing is meaningful for Bitcoin. So lack of passage would be negative.

@BitcoinMagick I don't follow the DC world too closely so I defer to others like Alex Thorn at Galaxy

[Alex Thorn @intangiblecoins]

i'm again reducing my odds of CLARITY act passage in 2026, mostly due to the shortening calendar and growing competition for floor time from other items

still think we'll see a vote in july - but can it get to 60? we hope it can but it's not obvious at the moment that it will

[FischerKing @FischerKing64]

It’s very simple. Paper ballots everywhere. One person in a covered spot to preserve secrecy. Voter ID confirmed by a voter roll. No ballot harvesting, no mail ballots except military abroad. Total ability to confirm a vote with paper ballots.
