"So you can't afford a 30-year mortgage, but you're going to take out a 50-year mortgage to pay $300 less a month but pay $500,000 more to the bank by the end of the loan?"
"That's correct, Dave."
Friends asking me whether this feels like 2008.
The difference is that over the weekend in 2008 the government was genuinely trying to stop the crisis.
JFK drafted the civil rights act — Trump made DEI illegal.
JFK stared down Russia and did not blink — Trump is Russia’s closest ally.
JFK sent a man to the moon — Trump gave Elon the keys to Air Force One.
JFK created USAID — Trump eliminated it.
Let’s be honest, crypto folks still hype mediocre chains like it’s 2017.
Remember the search engine wars? Yahoo, AltaVista, Ask Jeeves… then Google @Google came and crushed them with speed, simplicity & real innovation.
Now, blockchains are in their own war. Algorand @algodevs, built by Ivy League professors who’ve been researching crypto since the 80s, has the most superior tech. Google was built by Ivy League minds who studied search engines for years.
Everyone should try it and its apps out.
Will Algorand be the Google of Web3?
Only time will tell. #Blockchain #Algorand #BlockchainInnovation #Tokenization #Crypto #Web3
Let's be clear: Not doing any research on Algorand in 2025 is probably the worst thing you could do.
$ALGO offers more than speculation and already powers amazing real-world use cases.
Check out my quick thread, 5 minutes and you'll see blockchain adoption in a new light! 👇
Anyone else noticing @Algorand staking rewards finally hitting the sweet spot?
Just earned my first $ALGO —passive income without even running a node!
Started small, now compounding while Algorand keeps leveling up.
How’s your staking journey so far?
Remember the Algorand commercial that went viral that included Solana and Bitcoin in a grocery store?
Well, it's no longer just a commercial. It's now reality on Algorand with Mastercard x Pera Wallet.
You can pay using USDC (ALGO) anywhere that accepts Mastercard.
I see some people questioning #Algorand use in real-world projects, as unfortunately some of the third parties are either not recognising $ALGO as RWA project or are purely focusing on tokenization aspect of it.
Below are some of the real-world projects that have adopted #Algorand rails and are using it daily.
In most cases, people using it have no idea #blockchain is being used = Real world adoption, no hype, no shillers, just use of #blockchain that is fit-for-purpose. ;

Sold over 15M+ airline tickets as NFTs for 3 airlines so far (60 more airlines in talks and joining soon). On average, TravelX does 22M tx on Algorand monthly. Active secondary market for selling tickets. Most of the passengers using TravelX have no idea blockchain is running in the background and enabling it all.
