Venezuela Just Proved the Bitcoin Bull Case, And No One Is Paying Attention
Maduro used Tether to move 80% of Venezuela's oil revenue. Billions in sanctions evasion, settled on Tron since 2020.
Then the US made a phone call.
Tether froze the wallets.
Game over.
Everyone's focused on the arrest. The real story is the lesson every finance minister on earth just learned in real time:
Stable coins are a leash, not an escape.
If someone can freeze it, it isn't money. It doesn't solve sovereignty.
First principles:
USDT is dollar plumbing without SWIFT. Faster. Cheaper. Still has a CEO. Still has a compliance department. Still picks up when Washington calls.
This is why USDT adoption exploded, 71-year-old grandmothers in Caracas pay their HOA fees in tether now. But useful ≠ sovereign.
The entire value proposition for sanctions evasion just got publicly falsified.
Now do the game theory:
You're Iran. Russia. Any country hedging against dollar weaponization. You just watched Venezuela's "crypto solution" get shut off like a light switch.
Where do you put reserves now?
USDT? Compromised.
Yuan? Political strings.
Gold? Try settling $500M across borders in 10 minutes.
CBDCs? Same kill switch, government branding.
There's exactly one asset that clears final settlement without asking permission from anyone.
21 million units. No CEO. No freeze function. No phone number.
This is the ad Bitcoin never had to buy.
The most desperate, highest-stakes capital on earth just learned there's only one door.
Price doesn't reflect it yet.
It will.
@smatthewschultz What a journey. Thank you and the team for everything that you've done. The transparency and the integrity in which you communicate is world class.
We’re proving that #Bitcoin isn’t just something you hold…it’s a productive capital asset that can power a business. By pairing BTC with a cash-flowing business, we’re unlocking non-dilutive growth and real returns. $CLSK
🚨 Major DOE Move on Flexible Loads
The U.S. Department of Energy just proposed giving FERC jurisdiction over large load interconnections nationwide — and requiring expedited connection for flexible loads like Bitcoin mining and data centers.
This is a major signal that DOE recognizes the value of flexible demand in strengthening the grid.

@Pledditor I appreciate all that you do. You and @bigmagicdao are two of the best accounts to follow. Highly respect your efforts in uncovering and calling out alot of the BS out there. You've definitely SAVED me quite a bit 🙏
$glxy Look at the beautiful accumulation over the past 60 days. Institutions know exactly how to slowly and patiently accumulate stock without spiking the price while retail remains oblivious to what's coming.
This is BEYOND insane:
AI compute demand is now growing at over 2 TIMES the rate of Moore’s Law, creating a massive shortage.
Just to meet current demand, $500 billion must be invested in data centers PER YEAR until 2030.
What does this mean? Let us explain.
(a thread)
$GLXY Galaxy Digital is to Goldman Sachs
as the internet was to the printing press...
One was the pinnacle of the old world,
the other is the foundation of the new.
We went “asset heavy” years ago when the en vogue move for miners was to go asset light and stack asics.
We bought land.
We bought data centers.
We built substations.
We partnered with utilities.
We stacked power purchase agreements.
We own our infrastructure.
All the while stacking 13k BTC at 54%+ gross margins.
We use that MASSIVE stack of bitcoin as collateral to borrow cheap fiat and build more infrastructure. Also. We’re about to celebrate ONE WHOLE YEAR without selling a single share of equity and no ATM.
Z E R O EQUITY DILUTION OF ANY KIND SINCE 11/24.
Now all you hear about is the value of land and power.
It’s almost like the perfect storm.
33 data center locations. 1.03GW of CONTRACTED, AVAILABLE POWER.
1.7GW CURRENT PIPELINE.
Major cities. Rural communities. More to come.
Right where we need to be.
Stay tuned. $clsk @CleanSpark_Inc

I want to allow our core, every day shareholders to ask questions from our management team during the next earnings call.
I have some ideas on how to best do this, but if you have some ideas please send them my way.
$GLXY TCEQ permit for a temporary concrete mixing plant for Helios. Real permits reflecting real building going on. If your XXXX stock of choice is supposedly building in Texas but has non of these permits filed through TCEQ, Texas PUC or the Texas county they are in, be wary that perhaps things are not what they seem...
