🧵The line has been drawn in the sand for the future of @Neo_Blockchain. Here are my 7 stances on the treasury and governance reform for the Neo Foundation. The fate of $NEO is up to the market, but Neo's future is up to us...

Great match, but bummed an American country didn’t keep the cup, especially on the host continent.

@wilming_ton Obviously elected officials shouldn’t be able to profit off insider information or direct business interests. Can’t wait til those insider information laws kick in for equities too!

🚨UPDATE: 🇺🇸 The CLARITY ACT would prevent ANY ELECTED OFFICIAL from ISSUING or PROMOTING a digital asset. TURN NOTIFICATIONS ON!

@Jeremybtc @barstoolsports It’s not and HP WILL give a ticket for this. Source: firsthand experience.

@barstoolsports How the hell is this safe 😭

Argentina fans are crossing the highway to get to MetLife

@KhanAbbas201 Seems like this happens with all of their models.

Is it just me, or did Fable 5 actually get nerfed? It doesn't seem nearly as good as it was when it first rolled out.

@hamidreza1521 That’s not true at all. I still write articles at Neo News Today, produce weekly review videos about Neo, host weekly spaces (that you’re welcome to join), and I’m very active on GrantShares. I also happen to tweet about what I see going on in blockchain and crypto.

@GrabowskiDylan کلا $Neo رو رها کردی و چسبیدی به اکوسیستم اتریوم؟

Today we'll be discussing the shakeup at the Ethereum Foundation and the entities that have spun out of it.

@zGuz @coinage_media Proud coinage member!

I have a confession to make. I have done something very bad. Arguably, it is a career-ending admission for a founder in crypto. Four years ago, I launched @coinage_media as one of the first experiments in community ownership in the U.S. The goal was for Coinage to become the first community-owned media outlet ever built as a U.S. DAO/co-op. That would mean no need to serve a billionaire media owner like Jeff Bezos, and no desire to chase clickbait. Just a commitment to seek the truth for anyone who wanted to co-own a media outlet. Memberships cost roughly $200, or 0.07 ETH, when we launched and allowed anyone to become a co-op member. Importantly, unlike memecoins, NFTs, or most tokens, these memberships allowed people to actually co-own Coinage. And because Coinage is a co-op, they opened the door for us to pay patronage dividends back to active members. As Coinage has blossomed into one of the fastest-growing media outlets in the space, the value of those memberships has also grown. A Coinage Caucus pass now costs $450, or 0.25 ETH. In 2024, we also announced a $250 distribution back to members. Today, we are announcing our second annual distribution. As far as I know, Coinage has now become just the second tokenized co-op in U.S. history to pull this off, joining our friends at @EthereumDenver. If none of this sounds new, it is because it is not. Co-ops have existed for hundreds of years. But what is new is delivering this level of tokenized ownership in crypto, with no intermediaries and all the value accruing to the co-op members themselves. For too long, crypto has chased a world in which tokens provide no real ownership. No real value for retail traders on equal footing with what VCs and institutions receive. (Arguably, that stemmed from the SEC suing everyone who tried, but those days are behind us now.) To those who continue to believe that building with that level of inequality is the only world in which crypto will thrive, I apologize for everything Coinage represents. The future is here. Community ownership is alive and well. Value shall accrue to the people who make businesses what they are. And intermediaries shall die. Thank you to the members who have gotten us here after four long, hard years—through the winters and everything in between. If you want to join us for the ride, details below ❤️

The sunsetting of @megaeth's Mafia program highlights the double-edged nature of building in blockchain. Raising in tokens is fast and liquid, but there's no equity or anything binding a team to a technology/community. Teams can build rapidly and successfully find PMF, but they can also change chains just as quickly. I've seen this play out time and time again over my 8 years documenting the Neo ecosystem from within, covering hundreds of projects from cradle-to-grave, judging hackathons, serving on the @GrantShares community funding DAO... Without actual ties to the blockchain and ecosystem, there's no incentive for a project to stick around. Even with MegaETH's VC network, its incubated projects still chose to build elsewhere after they found PMF. 20 projects across 2 Mega Mafia cohorts have raised a cumulative $80m, but most are now building elsewhere. MegaETH not only fostered life of these young startups, but now they're also empty handed. Funding and funding projects is already difficult, but ensuring their end solutions are on your chain long-term is even more difficult.

@Hiraweb3 Crypto needs laws, it can't be directed by the whims of political parties

@GrabowskiDylan ethics first, then legislation no shortcuts

A small meeting taking place in 45 minutes could change the course of the CLARITY Act. Trump and aides are meeting with Republican Senators to discuss ethics provisions to the bill. This is a sticking point the Democrats will not budge on, especially after the Trump family has made hundreds of millions off crypto companies during the Trump presidency. Even with yield battles looming overhead, CLARITY Act seemingly had a fighting chance before the president's financial disclosure. Now, it faces political division, as well as external pressures from the banking lobby. If the president can come to some deal with an ethics provision, stating sitting presidents shouldn't have crypto business interests during their tenure, then perhaps CLARITY Act's likelihood of passing can flip positive. The deadline is August 7, that's the next congressional recess. After the break, the senators will be hitting the campaign trail for mid-term reelections. If the House pendulmum swings back to the left, crypto is bi-partisan enough that this bill is delayed until 2030 at the earliest.

I’m in tears. There is no place in the world like Argentina 😭😭😭😭😭❤️🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

@lizbazurto Pro-American Continent

As a Colombian I am torn between Spain 🇪🇸 and Argentina 🇦🇷. Like, do I want to be re-conquered by Spaniards? Or do I want to feel inferior ? 😅

@JasonYanowitz Cobie focused the app and Jesse on the chain will only bring great deliverables

Respect. Strong opinions, loosely held. Only way to win BIG is to make bold bets. Then talk to customers and double down if they love or pivot if they hate. Base will continue doing very well.

@arbitrum That’s my homey

No asset is safe from being tokenized Arbitrum is coming

@binji_x Telemundo is pure excitement

it’s amazing how biased the commentators are when england is playing

The spinout of @eth_systems from the EF is particularly notable because institutions are outpacing retail adoption at this point in the cycle. Banks, brokerages, clearing houses, and other financial institutions value the speed and cost of blockchain. However, they covet another foundational principle of the cypherpunks: privacy. Asset managers with trillions want to move more fluidly internally, but also with other institutions. They don't want specifics of their holdings and representations publicly available to their competitors. And they're acting now. Banks are deploying EVM-based privacy-oriented networks, such as the launch of Cari Network in March this year. Cari is a Prividium-powered private, permissioned L2 between several regional banks in the US. EthSystems is comprised of three former employees of the EF’s Institutional Privacy Task Force. These guys have built: > private bonds using ZK proofs > confidential stablecoin transfer solutions, and > private cross-chain settlement tools All of which was open-source. This is a team dedicated to preserving confidentiality while bringing large-scale transaction count to Ethereum. The very same institutions that have increased on-chain capital from $21.67b to $34.32b so far this year. The cement of the new financial foundation is settling, and blockchain is now a part of the underlying infrastructure that powers the world. EthLabs is ensuring the longest-running blockchain with 100% uptime is a core component of that piping.

@0xcoolgirl @AvaLabs @avax MAJOR CONGRATS!!!!

BREAKING: This week, I stepped into the role of Head of Communications at @AvaLabs, and I couldn't think of a more exciting time to join this team. Businesses, financial institutions, and global enterprises are increasingly using @avax to solve real problems, and this past week has been a great example of that. Today, @aave launched V4 on Avalanche, marking the first deployment of its next-generation lending protocol beyond Ethereum and laying the foundation for new onchain credit markets, including lending against tokenized assets. At the same time: • BridgeTower announced plans to tokenize $11B+ in real-world assets on Avalanche, helping make Avalanche the #1 blockchain by net RWA inflows. • FIFA chose Avalanche to build its own blockchain network, bringing digital collectibles and future fan experiences onto infrastructure designed to serve billions of football fans worldwide. • Japan's largest security token platform, Progmat, migrated ¥452B of tokenized assets from a private Corda network onto a public Avalanche Layer 1. • NEC partnered with Ava Labs to develop blockchain services secured through biometric identity. • Hyundai Card and Hyundai Motor Company completed stablecoin payment pilots on Avalanche with Tether and Axiym, including a real cross-border intercompany settlement in just seven minutes. To me, these announcements represent something much bigger than individual partnerships. They show that some of the world’s leading businesses are choosing Avalanche as their trusted infrastructure for financial markets, enterprise applications, and global payments. And we’ve only just scratched the surface, my friends. I'm grateful for the opportunity to help tell that story and excited to work alongside an incredible team that's building for the long term. Technology Built for Business.

@Ghoul_Luft @MarioNawfal Real recognizes real

@GrabowskiDylan @MarioNawfal Correct

🇺🇸 America’s national debt has just hit a staggering new record of $39.4 trillion. In the past 12 months alone, it surged by $3.2 trillion. Since 2020, the total increase exceeds $16 trillion, roughly a 68% jump in only 5 years. The debt is now growing at an average of $209 billion every single month. If this pace continues, the United States will cross the $50 trillion mark before the end of the decade. What makes this especially concerning is the interest burden: Annual debt payments now top $1.1 trillion, more than the entire U.S. defense budget. With interest rates still elevated, this massive servicing cost is crowding out critical spending on infrastructure, innovation, and social programs. It’s a structural problem driven by chronic deficits. Without meaningful reform on spending, entitlements, or revenue, the trajectory is mathematically unsustainable, putting future economic growth and stability at risk. We’re borrowing heavily from tomorrow to pay for today. Source: @KobeissiLetter / Writer: Val
