Banks calling stablecoin competition 'regulatory evasion' is like taxi companies calling Uber a safety hazard. Maybe. Or maybe you just don't want the competition. The Clarity Act should be judged on whether it's good for users — not whether it's good for incumbents.

Reason #68 why @Mailchimp sucks:
You can’t send a campaign today b/c they’ve got an issue explained on their status page. So you wait 40+ mins to ask Support if they can send it for you. Instead of answering, they copy/paste the crap from their status page, then end the chat.

Reason #43 why @Mailchimp sucks:
You can’t send an SMS via their iOS app.

Reason #44 why @Mailchimp sucks: you also can’t send an SMS via Chrome on iOS, cuz you can’t see or scroll to hit Save/Send button in upper right.

Chimp logo makes total sense. 🫤

@Castor_Troy999 @lucasaganronald Tell me you don't know how to race without telling me you don't know how to race.

How do you allow your top two riders to use different pedals in the most important race of the year? Huge mistake by @AlpecinPT will cost @mathieuvdpoel the win. #parisroubaix

Called 800-934-6489 for help, and have been on hold waiting to speak w/ an agent for 30+ mins. 😕

@XfinitySupport PLEASE HELP? Service canceled for nonpayment b/c debit card expired; no warning call, text, nor email. Only found out by calling to ask if there was an outage. Balance paid by phone by 9AM, but service still down at 11AM. Need WiFi restored ASAP! 🙏

3 reasons I think my wife & I are parenting our daughters well:

1) 😊 sometimes difficult at home, they’re always 100% polite & respectful elsewhere

2) ❤️ they randomly, frequently say “mom/dad, I love you so much”

3) 💪🏻they’re down w/ riding bikes on a cold, rainy day

Damage is already done—exodus of wealth has begun.

[Wall Street Mav @WallStreetMav]

Netherlands just cancelled the 36% tax on unrealized gains.

Back to the drawing board after huge negative public reaction.

You can't force people to pay taxes on paper profits they have not realized yet. Especially when those gains can evaporate overnight.

This policy was going to destroy retail investors and drive wealth to other countries. People would have been forced liquidate assets just to cover tax bills on holdings they wanted to keep.

Public pressure works when enough people speak up.

Yesterday a friend who's unemployed b/c their work is now done by AI told me they'd never used ChatGPT. It was shocking. Meanwhile, others who will soon be replaced by AI are "too busy to learn how to use it."

You can't ignore it forever.
Would you rather be early or late?

Are you going to store your wealth, however large or small it is, in an asset with this kind of track record? Bitcoin fixes this.

[Mike Alfred @mikealfred]

I stayed up all night and re-underwrote Bitcoin using 46 different methods. The process was arduous but worth it. The average result implies that Bitcoin should be worth approximately $172,000 right now, an undervaluation of 95%. The discrepancy between BTC and metals is extreme.

[i'm alain, w/ an eye @velospeed]

Many call it quantum risk. I call it quantum discount. While Bitcoin is up 10X since Jan 2020, it’s extremely discounted right now. Keep stacking.

Geese is on stage at #SNL again, and all 5 band members are performing different songs. This is wild.

[i'm alain, w/ an eye @velospeed]

And we’ve got a new winner for worst musical performance ever on #SNL. Damn they were awful.

While most Americans were freaking out about weather models, Trump’s tariff BS gave us one more (our last?) chance to buy #Bitcoin under $90,000. Soon, the <$100K door will slam shut too.

YOU ARE NOT TOO LATE.
