@On3 @PeteNakos The NIL era has changed everything. It would have been unheard of to hear about a SEC coach getting fired in the first SEC week.

BREAKING: South Carolina is expected to part ways with head baseball coach Paul Mainieri, @PeteNakos reports. on3.com/college/south-…

@joshuahatcher13 100% trying to hit someone

The shortstop actually throwing that ball is so bush.

Goosebumps

@Frank_Frangie Do you know how hard it is to not swing at that pitch? Too bad he wasn’t rewarded. I don’t know if the pictures accurately show where the ball is located in relation to the plate. Such a tough call for an umpire. A lot easier call for a machine.

For baseball nerds like me, this is the problem I have with the ABS system coming to MLB. It was a strike when it crossed the plate. And was correctly called. But by time catcher caught it, looked low. ABS challenge system will call it a ball. I say let the umps call it. FWIW.

Automate strike calling. We need robo umps.

College baseball is the most electric sport that no one knows about

@robbiefaulkOn3 Tough place to play. They will bounce back.

4-14 for State against Arkansas since 2019. Six-straight series losses against the Razorbacks, 19 years without winning in Fayetteville.

@TFTC21 Bitcoin is money

Coinbase is quietly lobbying to kill Bitcoin's de minimis tax exemption. The company reportedly told legislators that "no one is using Bitcoin as money" and that a Bitcoin de minimis exemption would be "DOA." Meanwhile, they're pushing for the exemption to apply only to stablecoins, specifically regulated, dollar-pegged stablecoins like USDC. Coinbase made $1.35 billion in stablecoin revenue in 2025, up 48% year over year, almost entirely from interest earned on U.S. Treasuries held in USDC reserves. Bloomberg estimates that number could surge 7x under the GENIUS Act. Every person who uses USDC for payments instead of Bitcoin is a person whose dollars are sitting in Coinbase's reserve pool generating risk-free yield for Coinbase. A de minimis exemption for Bitcoin would let people spend it freely for everyday purchases without triggering a taxable event. That makes Bitcoin a direct competitor to USDC as a payment method. Coinbase doesn't want that competition. They want you locked into their centralized stablecoin ecosystem where they clip yield on every dollar you park there. The irony is that a de minimis exemption doesn't even make sense for stablecoins. They're pegged to the dollar. They don't fluctuate in value. There's no capital gain to exempt. The exemption matters for Bitcoin precisely because it does fluctuate, and without it, every coffee purchase becomes a taxable event. Senator Lummis proposed a $300 de minimis exemption that would cover Bitcoin. The House framework only covers stablecoins under $200. The Bitcoin Policy Institute has already warned that Bitcoin is being deliberately excluded from these talks. A de minimis exemption that covers stablecoins but not Bitcoin isn't a tax framework. It's a subsidy for Coinbase's treasury management business disguised as consumer protection.

Feb 2026 will be marked as a pivotal change in technology history.

@natbrunell @carlabitcoin You deserve it Natalie. Thanks for all you do for the community.

When I started posting about Bitcoin, I had no idea where it would lead. Today my 𝕏 community hit 500,000 followers! Thank you for listening, questioning, challenging ideas, and caring about financial freedom. The best conversations are still ahead. #Bitcoin is for Everyone

@adam3us @TimKotzman @MartyBent @coinbase @brian_armstrong +1

@MartyBent @coinbase @brian_armstrong dude: we need no taxes on bitcoin, never mind de-minimis.

Hearing that despite all the efforts and lobbying for bitcoin de minimis tax exemption, it’s none other than @coinbase trying to nuke it behind the scenes to push stablecoins only. Apparently they are telling legislators that, “No one is using bitcoin as money. A de-minimis exemption for bitcoin is a hand out that will be DOA.”

@brian_armstrong What would AI Agents prefer to use as their main currency?

Very soon there are going to be more AI agents than humans making transactions. They can’t open a bank account, but they can own a crypto wallet. Think about it.

@Leishman @River It is amazing how many people still don’t understand this.

No matter the administration in DC, the money printer will not slow down. Bitcoin is the only way out.

@grok @Sakshi50038 Is there anything created today that would allow people to live with self sovereignty without the need of government? Something that allows instant payment settlements and verification?

In 1971, Nixon ended the dollar's convertibility to gold (the "Nixon Shock"), closing the Bretton Woods system. The US shifted to pure fiat currency with no hard anchor. This enabled massive money printing, persistent inflation, exploding debt, and asset bubbles—driving up housing, education, and living costs far beyond wage growth. The 1970s milestones became exponentially harder after that.

1970's: - Get a degree - Get a 9-5 job - Get a suit & tie - Get a promotion - Get Married at 21 - Buy a House at 25 - Have 4-5 Kids & 1 dog - Retire at 60 with pension 2026: - Survive

@KobeissiLetter @LukeGromen what does this mean…?

This is absolutely insane: US oil futures are now on track to rise +60% this month, marking their largest monthly gain in history. This follows the +34.5% gain recorded last week, the largest weekly gain on record in data going back to 1982. We are all witnessing history.

@WBCBaseball @MLB Holy moon shot
