“Young Washington” will be the perfect movie to see in theaters as America celebrates its 250th birthday next year. 🔥In theaters July 3, 2026.
Can you imagine who woke Netflix would have cast as George Washington if they had done this movie? But don't worry, Angel Studios was in charge.
Looking forward to this.

The biggest change to money since 1971 is happening right now and most people haven’t noticed.
Every fintech company is just a slow, expensive, restricted version of what @Solana does natively. Gen Z has no patience for this shit.
Solana is the killer superapp AND the global network, combined into one. And you can buy it, like right now.
> Stripe ($91.5B): Solana processes payments at $0.00025 with instant settlement versus Stripe's 2.9% + $0.30 fees that take days to clear. Solana is 10,000x cheaper and infinitely faster.
> PayPal ($65B): Solana users own their money directly with zero risk of account freezes or deplatforming versus PayPal's complete control over user funds. Solana gives true ownership, PayPal gives IOUs with geographic restrictions (try sending money to someone in Lebanon or Peru via PayPal).
> Block ($46B): Any smartphone processes Solana payments globally without hardware versus Block's expensive proprietary terminals. Solana + smartphone eliminates Block's entire business model.
> SoFi ($31B): Solana offers global DeFi lending with transparent rates accessible to anyone versus SoFi's US-only operations with opaque underwriting.
> Chime ($16B): phantom, squads, etc can do everything a bank can do — hold your funds — with no minimums or approvals versus Chime's traditional banking restrictions. Solana banks are permissionless, Chime still requires permission.
> Klarna ($14B): Programmable payments through Sezzle work everywhere instantly versus Klarna's merchant-by-merchant integrations. Solana works universally, Klarna needs partnerships.
> Plaid ($6.1B): All financial data is publicly queryable versus Plaid's gated API access. Solana makes Plaid's data bridging obsolete.
Both America and China were invested in the illusion that China wasn't already the world's strongest economy.
Psychologically, it suited the incumbent to appear strong. So America downplayed China's numbers.
Strategically, it suited the disruptor to appear weak. So China also sandbagged its own numbers.
But the illusion is becoming harder to maintain.
