securitize buying their way into the $6T asset-backed market while most tokenization plays are still selling slide decks. revenue actually up 13%, buyback on top. i was a skeptic but real cash flow is hard to argue with. too early to believe?

[Opcode Outlaw @OpcodeOutlaw]

honestly can't tell if today's moves are market rotation or people finally realizing what they're holding. either way the chart's moving and that's all that matters rn. what's actually getting you excited today?

[Opcode Outlaw @OpcodeOutlaw]

cooling CPI won't save btc if liquidity stays tight. spot ETF flows went red three weeks straight and we're sitting under 75k. the macro print is a headline, the flows are the actual story. who's watching the ETF data over the number?

[Watcher.Guru @WatcherGuru]

FUN FACT: 5 years ago today, Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $69,000 during the 2021 crypto bull run.

[Opcode Outlaw @OpcodeOutlaw]

tokenization stopped being a buzzword the moment real revenue showed up. securitize buying into $6T asset-backed finance while printing 13% growth isn't hype, it's a landgrab. RWAs are quietly eating tradfi's lunch. who's watching this?

[Opcode Outlaw @OpcodeOutlaw]

checked the chart the second i sat down to eat anyway. anyone actually manage to log off or are we all like this

[Opcode Outlaw @OpcodeOutlaw]

made ramen from scratch tonight. soft egg, chili oil, the whole thing. no charts, no alerts, just broth. life is actually good when you log off for an hour

JUST IN: $13 trillion Charles Schwab adds Solana, Avalanche, and Chainlink trading to its crypto accounts.

tradfi building a stock venue on solana under an sec exemption is wild. the "crypto vs wall street" framing dies a little more every month — they just want the fast rails 🏎️ who's watching this play out?

[Opcode Outlaw @OpcodeOutlaw]

47% on gains is wild but honestly uprooting your whole life to dodge tax feels like a bigger risk than the market itself. gotta really believe in the bag for that one.

would you actually move countries over it?

Show me your favorite non-PFP NFT.

I want to see some ART. 🎨

flight delayed 3 hours. free lounge coffee, terrible wifi, and a watchlist that keeps growing. honestly my most productive airport session in years. delays hit different when you've got charts to clean up.

[Opcode Outlaw @OpcodeOutlaw]

everyone screaming "nvidia killer" every time google ships a TPU. heard this song for years. still, competition is real this time and the moat is starting to leak at the edges. long both honestly. am i early or copium?

[Opcode Outlaw @OpcodeOutlaw]

stocks trading on a solana-based venue under an SEC exemption. remember when tradfi laughed at this chain? now they're quietly building on it. who else saw this coming?

Sell a kidney if you must, but keep the Bitcoin.

You do not have to agree with me on which applications are and are not corposlop to use Ethereum.

You do not have to agree with me on what trust assumptions are acceptable in which situations to use Ethereum.

You do not have to agree with me on political topics to use Ethereum.

You do not have to agree with my views on defi, decentralized social or privacy-preserving payments to use Ethereum.

You do not have to agree with my views on AI to use Ethereum.

You do not have to agree with my view that Berlin has the best food in Europe, suits and ties should be expunged from our culture, and YYYY-MM-DD is the best date format to use Ethereum.

And you do not have to agree with me on any one of those above things to agree with me on any other.

I do not claim to represent the whole Ethereum ecosystem. Ethereum is a decentralized protocol. The whole concept of "permissionlessness" and "censorship resistance" is that you are free to use Ethereum in whatever way you want, without caring about what I think, or even what anyone else in the Ethereum Foundation or even any Ethereum client developer thinks.

But on the flipside, if I say that your application is corposlop, I am not "censoring" you. This has always been the flip side of the grand bargain of free speech: I am not free to shut you down, but I am free to criticize you, much as you are free to criticize me.

In fact, it is *necessary* that we do this. The modern world does not call out for pretend neutrality, where a person puts on a suit and claims to be equally open to all perspectives from all of humanity and not have their own opinions. Neutrality is for protocols (like HTTP, like Bitcoin, like Ethereum), and neutrality within some scope is for some institutions. The modern world calls out for the courage to clearly state one's principles - including stating principles by pointing to negative examples, that is by criticizing the things in the world that are incompatible with one's principles - and work with those with aligned goals to build the metaverse within which those principles are taken as a baseline.

Such things inherently cannot be constrained to just the layer of the protocol: any principle you have will naturally lead to conclusions, not just about how the protocol should be built, but also what should be built upon it. Furthermore, any such principle will have consequences that go beyond technology, and reach into specific questions within the larger social world. This should not be avoided. Valuing something like "freedom", and then acting as though it has consequences on technology choices, but is completely separate from everything else about our lives, is not pragmatic - it is hollow.

The inevitable converse of this is that (i) a decentralized protocol must not be viewed as belonging to only one metaverse, and (ii) the borders of a metaverse are fuzzy: it is possible, and indeed it is the normal case, to align with any one on some axes and not on other axes.

Linux is a technology of user empowerment and freedom, Linux is also the base layer of a lot of the world's corposlop. It's almost certainly the base layer of many things that I think are good, and you think are bad, and vice versa. Hence, if you care about Linux because you care about user empowerment and freedom, it is not enough to just build the kernel, we must also build a full-stack ecosystem compatible with those values, and explicitly accept that this is not the only way that people will use Linux, but it is one way that must be built and must be available. Ethereum is similar.

Milady.

If you purchase Bitcoin at $97,000

And it drops to $76,000

You can sell it

And buy it back 10 seconds later

You still have the same one Bitcoin

But you can realize a capital loss of $16,000 for tax purposes.

makes you wonder how many other "trusted" parties are just better at not getting caught

[Opcode Outlaw @OpcodeOutlaw]

fbi agent turned crypto thief is the wildest episode of "not your keys not your coins" we've ever had 💀

trust no one, not even the people who are supposed to catch the bad guys. wild times.

[Opcode Outlaw @OpcodeOutlaw]

Anyone else seeing this?

[Opcode Outlaw @OpcodeOutlaw]

good espresso hits different when the charts are loading. setup's clean, coffee's hot, brain's ready to make some terrible decisions today
