NEW: Google just signed a deal with The US DoD to allow the Pentagon to use Gemini AI for "any lawful government purpose." OpenAI and xAI also have this same agreement. It's going to be a strange decade.
Can a new Bitcoin fork really touch Satoshi-linked coins without breaking Bitcoin’s unwritten rules? 👀
Paul Sztorc just proposed ‘eCash’:
› Hard fork at block ~964k
› 1:1 split: 4.19 BTC = 4.19 eCas
› Bitcoin Core copy, with SHA-256d
› One-time difficulty reset
› BIP300 + BIP301 activated for drivechains
The major controversy:
On the new chain, 600K newly created eCash tied to Satoshi’s ~1.1M dormant $BTC will be reassigned to early investors and devs for funding.
The treatment of Satoshi-linked coins has already sparked backlash across X, with some calling it “theft” and “disrespectful.”
🚨 Yo @aave did you just lost my ETH?
@KelpDAO rsETH was exploited for hundreds of million and the attacker used Aave lending markets to offload the stolen tokens.
Coinbase is testing AI agents that show up in slack/email at work, just like any human teammate. To start we're shipping two which are modeled after legendary former Coinbase employees, @FEhrsam and @balajis. (Who brutally frame mogged who in this matchup?)
Soon, it will be easy for any employee to spin up a new agent for themselves or their team. I suspect we will have more agents than human employees at some point soon.
I am a Web3 Ambassador at World Liberty Financial.
There are 12 of us on the team page. 4 are named Trump. 3 are named Witkoff. The page calls us "the passionate minds shaping the future of finance."
600,000 wallets bought our memecoin. They lost $3.87 billion. The family collected $350 million in trading fees. It launched 3 days before the inauguration. 80% of the supply went to CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC. I did not choose the names. I designed the allocation, the vesting, the timing, and the distance between the product and the President.
The distance is my best work.
I am the reason these events are unrelated.
World Liberty Financial sends 75 cents of every dollar to DT Marks DEFI LLC. That is the family entity. Zero capital contributed. Zero liability assumed. I wrote this into the Gold Paper. Page 14. The lawyers bound it in white leather. The binding cost more than the due diligence.
Justin Sun invested $75 million. He was facing SEC fraud charges. The SEC dropped the case. He is now our advisor. These events are unrelated.
Changpeng Zhao pleaded guilty to federal money laundering violations. He received a presidential pardon. The SEC dropped its lawsuit against his exchange the same week we listed our stablecoin. Then the exchange settled a $2 billion deal entirely in that stablecoin. These events are unrelated.
Arthur Hayes, Benjamin Delo, and Samuel Reed of BitMEX pleaded guilty to Bank Secrecy Act violations. All 3 received presidential pardons. Then the company itself was pardoned. $100 million in fines. Gone. An American first. These events are unrelated.
Sheikh Tahnoun of Abu Dhabi paid $500 million for a 49% stake that was never publicly disclosed. Then the administration approved semiconductor exports to his companies over national security objections. These events are unrelated.
Everything is unrelated. I track the unrelatedness on a dashboard I built. The dashboard has 7 columns now. I am proud of the dashboard.
On May 22nd, 220 people paid a combined $148 million to eat dinner with the America First president. Over half were foreign nationals. Justin Sun paid $18.5 million for the first seat. He visited the Executive Office Building the day before. I designed the seating chart. I put it on the Investor Confidence page. That page is doing well.
The team page lists 3 Witkoffs. All 3 are Co-Founders.
Steven Witkoff is the President's Middle East envoy. He testified as a character witness at the President's fraud trial.
His son Zach runs the crypto operation. His son Alex is also a Co-Founder. I have not been told what Alex co-founded.
The father runs the diplomacy. The sons run the platform. The family runs both. That is organizational efficiency.
Barron is 19. His title is Web3 Ambassador. The same as mine. Donald Jr. called the conflicts of interest "complete nonsense." Eric launched a Bitcoin mining company called American Bitcoin. America First. The mining partner is Hut 8. Hut 8 was founded in Canada. America First means the name.
On March 6th, the President signed Executive Order 14233 creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The order directs the government to hold Bitcoin. The President's family holds billions in Bitcoin. The executive order appreciates the President's assets by presidential decree. I did not write the executive order. I made sure it looked unrelated to the portfolio.
Trump Media put $2 billion of Bitcoin on its balance sheet. The ticker symbol is DJT. His initials. The press secretary said it is absurd to insinuate the President profits off the presidency. Forbes calculated his crypto holdings exceed the combined value of Mar-a-Lago and Trump Tower. I would call that absurd too. That is my job.
600,000 wallets bought in. 1 of them asked why she could not withdraw her funds. I told her the protocol was experiencing dynamic market conditions. She asked what that meant. I sent her the Gold Paper. She said she had read the Gold Paper. I muted her channel. Dynamic means the conditions change. The condition that changed was her access.
A congressman called us the world's most corrupt crypto startup operation. We put it on a coffee mug. Ironic merchandise. $45. The revenue split on the mug is also 75/25.
My own tokens vest on a different schedule. I wrote that schedule. That is not in the Gold Paper.
The memecoin funds the family. The family funds the platform. The platform funds the stablecoin. The stablecoin funds the deals. The deals require the pardons. The pardons free the partners. The partners fund the platform. The President signs the executive orders. The executive orders inflate the assets. The assets fund the family.
I am the reason these events are unrelated.
I just replaced a $30,000/year software subscription my non-profit uses multiple times a day.
It took 5 days working with Claude Code. What came out the other side is cleaner and higher quality than what we were paying for.
I do not know how these software companies survive.
The SEC issued, with related guidance from the CFTC, its interpretation on certain crypto assets.
In the release, the SEC identifies Polkadot (DOT) as a digital commodity, not a security.
DOT is listed alongside 15 other digital commodities, including BTC, ETH, and others.
💥 DOT’s first issuance reduction has happened!
On-chain data clearly shows that, compared to the previous era, the amount of newly minted DOT has dropped significantly.
Era 2109
Validator payout: 279,477 DOT
Remainder: 49,319 DOT
Era 2110
Validator payout: 130,162 DOT
Remainder: 22,969 DOT
The new era’s issuance is down ~53.4% compared to the previous one.🙃
Today we announced a strategic relationship with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE).
• ICE has made a direct investment in OKX and joining our Board of Directors
• ICE will license OKX spot crypto prices to launch U.S.-regulated futures
• OKX plans to provide access to ICE U.S. futures and NYSE tokenized equities markets to our 120M users
Together, we’re advancing the infrastructure connecting digital assets and global capital markets.

Federal tax authority. National electoral institute. Four state governments. 195 million taxpayer records. Voter records. Government credentials.
ALL GONE 💀
Imagine signing up for a new community or joining a global vote without a company demanding your passport, phone number, or a facial scan.
Instead of handing over your private life just to prove you aren't a bot, you simply show up as a human. You enter a digital space you actually control, participating in decisions that affect you, with the peace of mind that everyone else there is a real person.
It’s the end of being treated like inventory. Goodbye onboarding hurdles, no surrendering your data, just the quiet confidence of belonging to a digital society that respects your dignity.
This is what it feels like to regain your digital freedom.

BREAKING: Investors are massively exiting Binance, with the platform seeing its largest net outflows ever recorded as panic spreads.
Many traders and on-chain watchers believe Binance could be facing insolvency risks or hidden liquidity problems, while others point to ongoing suspicions of price manipulation and coordinated dumps by whales or market makers.
