“WAGMI” — we're all gonna make it — was crypto's 2021 rallying cry. But those with wealth and power knew it was a lie, and that “all” just meant them. My latest piece traces the last five years, from hype to technoligarchy — and why they're not all gonna make it either.

In 2025, Trump brought tech executives into power to dismantle regulators and write their own rules. But the instabilities they’re creating may be their downfall.

next issue of Citation Needed will be out tomorrow, and thank you to everyone who didn’t unsubscribe when i dropped off the face of the planet into a COVID hole! (the joys of being a solo writer)

[Molly White @molly0xFFF]

i love the beginning of the year because everyone starts blogging. and if you (yes you) were thinking about starting, this is your sign

[Molly White @molly0xFFF]

@bolshevikhamsi thanks, i've reported it a bunch of times and so have others but TT won't take it down for some reason

checking out the crypto gaming magazine’s 2026 “most anticipated” list to see how blockchain gaming has been going

[Molly White @molly0xFFF]

@IceLordUlmo it's not comprehensive, but there are a handful at https://t.co/eKHW7X7Vkg. i wonder what ever happened to Peter Molyneux's Legacy...

[Molly White @molly0xFFF]

i love the implication that crypto gaming was fundamentally sound and only died because VCs failed to manifest it

[Molly White @molly0xFFF]

@andrewnaslund i’ve had symptoms for seven days so i think i’m past the window, sadly

[Molly White @molly0xFFF]

[Molly White @molly0xFFF]

grateful for the books that made 2025 a little less hard

Odd request, but if someone has some crypto with some more complex trans, I'd like to talk.

I have transactions of my own, but I want to systematically test some of the crypto tax calculators over time. I would just be running wallets through the tax calcs
