How much BTC would you need to stop worrying about money? Real life, not retirement fantasy.

$22.7 trillion in USD. $15.4 trillion six years ago. ECB went from €12 to €16.3 trillion. "Temporary," they said. The printers are fine, thanks for asking. Bitcoin: 21 million. Forever. Nearly 20 million already out there, the rest will take 114 years. Good luck inflating that. Trust the maths, not the bros.

What do you see?

@CryptosR_Us Armstrong's right that MiCA set the template. MiCA went live over a year ago and half the European platforms still haven't cleared licensing. CLARITY will hit the same bottleneck

COINBASE CEO: CLARITY ACT TO BECOME GLOBAL CRYPTO TEMPLATE Brian Armstrong says 🇺🇸U.S. passage of the CLARITY Act + 🇪🇺Europe’s MiCA will push other G20 nations to implement their own digital asset legislation. Big markets dictate financial standards. Smaller ones conform or watch institutional capital flee.

@MeesWynants Cash gets capped, every transfer above €3K gets flagged, and the replacement is a programmable euro the ECB can freeze. Meanwhile: Bitcoin settles peer-to-peer with no one's permission

Starting July 2027 cash payments above €10,000 are illegal across all 27 EU member states. Every transaction above €3,000 requires ID. Splitting payments to avoid the cap is also illegal. Crypto is government verified. The digital euro pilot starts the same year. Fully traceable. Issued and monitored by the central bank. They say it is about money laundering. It is always about control.

@Cryptotea Bitcoin doesn't replace fiat by making credit card debt disappear - it starts with the people who actually save, then asks how they spend without selling

How can Bitcoin replace Fiat when 60% of people live off credit card debt, paying 20% interest per year

@Cointelegraph Dalio keeps grading Bitcoin on gold's homework. Bitcoin correlated with tech stocks during a tech-led rally, which tells you more about the rally than about Bitcoin. $1.6 trillion market cap and he's calling it small

🚨 RAY DALIO: Bitcoin hasn’t acted like a safe haven due to its high correlation with tech stocks, lack of privacy, and relatively small market size. “There is only one gold.”

@CryptoTice_ Europe spent three years writing MiCA and is now evaluating which chain settles the Euro. MiCA-licensed platforms already connect Euro and crypto on those same public rails

BREAKING: Europe is considering Ethereum as the settlement layer for a Euro stablecoin. Not a pilot. Not a sandbox test. Real financial infrastructure. For sovereign money. The ECB's Christine Lagarde said Bitcoin would never enter European reserves. Now Europe is evaluating Ethereum to settle the Euro itself. Public blockchains are moving from crypto markets. To institutions. To governments. To sovereign settlement layers. This is not about hype anymore. This is about who controls the financial rails of the future. And Ethereum just entered that conversation.

These are some of our fees. What if they just... disappeared? Fee-Free Month. Every fee you pay in May is a chance to win it back in Bitcoin. New users who verify and use the app are in! 💸 downloadapp.bitwala.com T&Cs apply: bitwala.com/fee-free-month

@gideongallasch Or rather: DM us, seems like we can't DM you @gideongallasch

Congrats @gideongallasch - you're this week's winner. Check your DMs.

Your weekly riddle. €10 in BTC and a Bitwala Visa card if you nail it. Block #8 I'm worth 0.00000001 BTC. There are 2.1 quadrillion of me. What am I? Drop your guess below!

@MerlijnTrader Banks rewriting the bill 48 hours before the vote. Europe passed MiCA and moved on. Someone should tell the US Senate they can just copy the homework

THIS IS CRAZY: 🇺🇸 This is not a policy disagreement. This is survival. Banks know what stablecoin yield means. Trillions leaving bank deposits. Forever. So 48 hours before the May 14 vote. They're rewriting the compromise. Per Bloomberg. Coinbase: approved. Circle: approved. White House: approved. Trump: "Sign it immediately." Banks: still fighting. The same cartel that killed Glass-Steagall. Got bailed out in 2008. Fought Bitcoin since 2013. Is making one final push. May 14. 10:30 AM EST. BRIAN. HOLD THE LINE.

@PowerHasheur @BlackRock @a16z $77B USDC in circulation. EURC already MiCA-authorised. Most European neobanks still treat crypto like a feature they'll get to eventually

Circle vient de publier ses résultats Q1 : USDC à 77 milliards en circulation, +28% sur un an Et dans la même journée, ils annoncent 222M$ levés pour leur blockchain "Arc" avec @BlackRock, Apollo et @a16z à la table L'action $CRCL n'explose pas par hasard aujourd'hui

@PeterMcCormack Same film, different dub. Run deficits, let the central bank absorb it, watch savers lose purchasing power. UK just admits the plot out loud.

Let's be as clear as possible regarding the Labour Party, they have failed, utterly and miserably failed. They were always going to, you can't go left-wing control and redistribution after a Conservative government did the same - there was no juice left. As the cabinet and back benchers turn on Keir, looking for a new leader...no change will make things better. They are ideologically misaligned with what a successful and prosperous nation requires and either deeply unimpressive or fundamentally dangerous. - Reeves is useless - Lammy is dangerous - Rayner both - Miliband is literally retarded - Phillipson and Cooper, please We will have the theatre of a leadership contest then the decline will continue. The only thing which can save the country is a people's revolution - keeping the socialists and Fabian's as far away from the state as possible. We only have one choice - a massive slashing of the state, taxes, welfare and regulations. We must restore law and order and make Britain a meritocracy again. If we don't, the best, the wealthy and the ambitious will leave and you will be left with nothing. Idiots on the left will say "go then, we're better off without you". No, you're an idiot - you do not understand money, economics and incentives. You break things which work for things which sound nice. We have limited time.

@dotkrueger US writing self-custody protections into law. Europe's MiCA deadline is July 1. Neither framework has caught up with MPC custody yet. Regulators on two continents, both about three years behind the tech.

My take on the Clarity Act: 1. For Bitcoin. Very Bullish. Self Custody explicitly protected. Clear legal framework for lending, wrappers etc.. Banks can go nuts. 2. For DeFi. Generally Bullish. Protocols are intact as long as they are decentralized. Front ends need to do more Geo Blocking / SAR / potentially KYC. 3. For Stablecoins. Bullish, but yield bearing coins get heavily restricted. Banks win. 4. For "Crypto/Bitcoin Companies". Very Bullish. US Companies building truly decentralized protocols are fine. Products can start out more centralized and decentralize to comply. This would start being enforcable in summer 2027 according to Claude.
