🚨LATEST: 🇺🇸SEN. TIM SCOTT SAYS CLARITY ACT IS TO PROTECT CONSUMERS & MAKE AMERICA FIRST
"We can either lead the next era of innovation or be left watching it happen elsewhere"
"Blockchains and Digital assets are coming, PERIOD."
The entire point of crypto is to opt out of the banking system, not to negotiate away the best parts of this asset class and technology.
Fuck the banks.
Imagine the U.S. government decided it wanted to pay off the national debt.
All of it.
Today that debt is over $38 trillion. Paying it off wouldn’t just take time – it would require the government to run massive budget surpluses for years, maybe decades.
But here’s the problem.
A surplus means the government collects more in taxes than it spends.
And when that happens, money doesn’t just disappear from the budget. It disappears from the economy.
Government deficits push money into the system. Surpluses pull it out.
So paying down trillions of dollars of debt would mean draining trillions of dollars of liquidity from businesses, markets, and households.
Less spending. Less investment. Less growth.
Which is one reason large national debts are almost never truly paid off.
Instead, they’re rolled forward.
Old debt matures. New debt replaces it.
Year after year. Decade after decade.
Not because the debt will someday vanish.
But because the modern financial system quietly depends on it continuing to exist.
JUST IN: Charles Hoskinson says "I was in the room for 3 years. 137 amendments later, they stripped out developer protection, made everything a security by default, and because it looks like $XRP and $ADA may get a pass, and be grandfathered in, we have to pass a trash bill?"
Big tech fears digital sovereignty. We build for it.
Nuvola puts control, resilience, and scale in your hands with decentralized infrastructure.
This was a major topic of discussion coming out of our meeting at the Senate in Rome ☁️🇮🇹
Election fraud is among the most anti-democratic acts imaginable. Commiting it in the name of 'saving democracy' is to believe your constituents are idiots.
It’s been a volatile few days in the crypto markets.
This is nothing new. Crypto has gone through many market cycles at this point. Personally, this doesn’t change my outlook - I don’t see how you can be anything but long-term bullish on crypto. It’s eating financial services at an incredible rate.
Coinbase is going to keep shipping through any market conditions, as we've always done. We’ve got a financial system to update.

It is the Democrats that voted as a block against the stablecoin bill. Where is the bi-partisan effort? This is just a stupid attempt to pass the blame.
Obituary for my father.
Richard Warner Carlson died at 84 on March 24, 2025 at home in Boca Grande, Florida after six weeks of illness. He refused all painkillers to the end and left this world with dignity and clarity, holding the hands of his children with his dogs at his feet.
He was born February 10, 1941 at Massachusetts General Hospital to a 15-year-old Swedish-speaking girl and placed in the Home for Little Wanderers in Boston, where he developed rickets from malnutrition. His legs were bent for the rest of his life. After years in foster homes, he was placed with the Carlson family in Norwood, Mass. His adoptive father, a tannery manager, died when he was 12 and he stopped attending school regularly. At 17, he was jailed for car theft, thrown out of high school for the second time, and enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps.
In 1962, in search of adventure, he drove to California. He spent a year as a merchant seaman on the SS Washington Bear, transporting cargo to ports in the Orient, and then became a reporter. Over the next decade, he was a copy boy at the LA Times, a wire service reporter for UPI and an investigative reporter and anchor for ABC News, covering the upheaval of the period. He knew virtually every compelling figure of the time, including Jim Jones, Patty Hearst, Eric Hoffer, Jerry Garcia, as well as Mafia leaders and members of the Manson Family. In 1965, he was badly injured reporting from the Watts riots in Los Angeles.
By 1975, he was married with two small boys, when his wife departed for Europe and didn’t return. He threw himself into raising his boys, whom he often brought with him on reporting trips. At home, he educated them during three-hour dinners on topics that ranged from the French Revolution to Bolshevik Russia, PG Wodehouse, the history of the American Indian and, always, the eternal and unchanging nature of people. He was a free thinker and a compulsive book reader, including at red lights. He left a library of thousands of books, most dog-eared and filled with marginalia. His reading and life experiences convinced him that God is real. He had an outlaw spirit tempered by decency.
In 1979, he married the love of his life, Patricia Swanson. They were together for 44 years, all of them happy. She died sixteen months before he did and he mourned her every day.
In 1985, he moved to Washington to work for the Reagan Administration. He spent five years as the director of the Voice of America, and then moved to the Seychelles as the US ambassador. In 1992, he became the CEO of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and later ran a division of King World television.
The last 25 years of his life were spent in work whose details were never completely clear to his family, but that was clearly interesting. He worked in dozens of countries and breakaway republics around the world, and was involved in countless intrigues. He knew a number of colorful national leaders, including Rafic Hariri of Lebanon, Aslan Abashidze of Adjara, Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire, and whomever runs Somaliland. He was a fundamentally nonjudgmental person who was impossible to shock, and he described them all with amused affection.
He spoke to his sons every day and had lunch with them once a week for thirty years at the Metropolitan Club in Washington, always prefaced by a dice game. Throughout his life he fervently loved dogs.
Richard W. Carlson is survived by his sons, Tucker and Buckley, his beloved daughter-in-law Susie, and five grandchildren. He was the toughest human being anyone in his family ever knew, and also the kindest and most loyal. RIP.
