Mr. IceMan

@CryptoWendyO Price.

Why is everyone in Cardano fighting right now or mad at Charles?

@benjamincowen Now go look at the banks.

The profits are private in good years, while the losses are socialized in bad years.

@thomasandrew875 @ZssBecker You must be new here.

@ZssBecker Yeah but Ben Cowen is pompous and so afraid of being proved wrong. He has to be right at all costs. Huge flaw of his. He acts like he is the god of all crypto/finance. I hate it

To @POTUS @realDonaldTrump @PressSec @StateDept @MAGAVoice @MAGAVoice4755 @CoinDesk @BitcoinMagazine The CLARITY Act is being sold as crypto regulation. It's not. It's the most sophisticated wealth transfer operation ever dressed in legislative clothing and they are counting on you not noticing. Let's be brutally clear about what just happened. Trump signed an EO making the US "crypto capital of the world" while simultaneously running $TRUMP, $MELANIA memecoins and World Liberty Financial (WLFI). The results? 764,000 retail wallets lost money on $TRUMP alone. Just 58 insider wallets pocketed $1.1 billion in profits. Retail investors absorbed over $4.3 billion in combined losses on both tokens which are now down 90%+ from their peaks. Meanwhile the Trump linked creators collected over $324 million in trading fees automatically routed to their wallets by the token's own code. The Trump family separately cashed out at least $1.2 billion from WLFI alone. For every $1 the creators made, retail investors lost $20. The bill they are now ramming through Congress needed an ethics clause inserted because the sitting President was already violating its spirit in real time. That's not an oversight. That's arrogance. They didn't even bother hiding it. Fairshake PAC funded by Coinbase ($25M), Ripple, and a16z is sitting on a $193M war chest for the 2026 midterms. 12 of 22 CLARITY Act sponsors are directly backed by that same network. This was never legislation. It's a procurement contract. Congress is the vendor. Your democracy is the product being sold. The bill hands crypto oversight to the CFTC chronically underfunded, historically toothless, structurally incapable of policing a $2.4 trillion market. The SEC, which has actual enforcement teeth, gets deliberately sidelined. The industry didn't want regulation. They wanted to choose their own referee, bribe the selection committee, and write the rulebook. Mission accomplished. The stablecoin yield fight tells you everything. Banks warn that allowing stablecoin issuers backed by T-bills to pay yield will drain $6 trillion from the deposit system. They're not wrong. That's not a crypto revolution , that's a slow motion bank run engineered to redirect the float of the entire US retail deposit base into vehicles controlled by a handful of Silicon Valley venture funds and their portfolio companies. Your savings account. Their yield. Now for the outcome. Pay attention because nobody in mainstream media will say this plainly. THE WINNERS: Trump and family already cashed out $1.2B, fully hedged before the law even passes. Coinbase, Ripple, Circle, a16z, Paradigm regulatory legitimacy unlocks institutional capital at scale, valuations explode, insiders exit into the liquidity. Traditional banks who cut deals early and get stablecoin partnerships on their terms. Washington lobbyists who just watched their $193M investment return 1000x. THE LOSERS: Every retail investor who buys the next wave of tokenised assets under the false comfort of "regulatory clarity" just like the 764,000 who already got wiped on $TRUMP. Every depositor whose bank quietly weakens as deposit flight accelerates. Every developing nation flooded with dollar denominated stablecoins that hollow out their monetary sovereignty. And every taxpayer who funds the bailout when this cycle ends because it always ends, and the bill always lands on the same people. BTC mining fees are near zero. Cost to mine is approaching $80,000. CPI just printed 3.3% the largest jump since 2021. BTC barely flinched. The macro is stagflationary, the fundamentals are deteriorating, and the asset produces nothing. A regulatory framework doesn't create value. It creates legally sanctioned pipelines to move retail money into insider held positions and then exit. We've already seen the preview: 813,294 wallets, $2 billion in losses, 58 insiders laughing all the way to the bank. The rest of the world is watching Washington hand a $2.4 trillion unregulated casino a government license and call it innovation. They think we're too distracted, too financially illiterate, or too deep in our own bags to see it clearly. They're not entirely wrong but some of us are watching. The CLARITY Act isn't criminal. It's worse. It's legal corruption with a congressional seal, a presidential signature, and a press release calling it progress. The only circuit breaker is awareness. Share this because the people engineering this outcome are absolutely counting on your silence.

@ND_DaD701 @floppedaces @dangambardello You’re both correct.

Altcoins have survived: The 2018 tariff fear capitulation The Fed repo crisis COVID The China mining ban The LUNA/UST collapse 3AC / Celsius / Voyager The FTX collapse The SEC suing Coinbase and Binance The Japan carry trade crash Tariff escalation Iran war I will not say sorry for being bullish on altcoins. I also don't think it's a bad idea to be bullish on altcoins. Blackrock, Fidelity, and Greyscale are... I enjoy tracking the macro opportunity, while always preparing for downside scenarios and volitility. Lastly, I think characterizing someone because they invest in and cover altcoins is not what crypto needs right now. Opportunity everywhere.

@follis_ @inversebrah Most honest tweet in the space.

If this doesn't play out I will simply delete the post and claim that I was bullish all along $BTC

@Jason Honesty is the best policy. Please share the details of your deal with TAO to shill it.

[ NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE ] [ NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE ] Family member: "What's this $tao you keep talking about on the pod?" Me: "Sell half your $btc, buy $tao " [ NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE ] [ NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE ] #remindmeofthistweet in six, 12, 18 and 24 months What logical sense does it make to buy $mstr instead of $btc directly?

@davthewave No, no one wants to buy the top of the buy zone.

History repeats... no-one wants to buy the 'buy zone'.😒

@crypto_birb And what do you say to $ADA holders?

ETH buyers got played. My heart goes out to top breakout traders who didn't wait for confirmation. Or used no stop because, well, Eric Trump. Another 4 years just to break even. 8 years wait is brutal. Condolences.

@maybeltr @PhilCrypto77 @IOHK_Charles Agree or Disagree?

The funniest shit is crypto bros were right about most things: fiat debasement, financial rebuilding, metaverse, ownership etc And yet it's just the same web2 companies or old metals receiving the reward because we all killed eachother off in little tribal wars

@EleanorTerrett @coinbase You know what hats off to @coinbase and @brian_armstrong for standing up and saying hold on, this caters to the banks more then it does the Crypto industry. I believe we should be able to earn interest on Stablecoins!

@CryptosR_Us Did anyone here actually watch the clip? It’s old. From back when $BTC was 110K and $ETH was 4K.

🇺🇸 CNBC announced LIVE on TV that banking giant JPMORGAN will now accept $BTC as collateral. From ETFs to collateral - Bitcoin is being soaked up into the core of the financial system.

@KitchenRecipes_ Looks incredible! Thank you for the tutorial!

learned this when I worked in an upscale restaurant

@Mishi_2210 Rage bait engagement

If answer is not 300 then what is the answer..? 1 percent will succeed

An actor who nailed a role so hard that nobody else will ever be able to live up to it… GIFS ONLY

@Leooweb3 Digital farts.

Ethereum is digital oil. Bitcoin is digital gold. What is Solana?

@casinokrisa @C_3C_3 Naive.

@C_3C_3 Political donations from faculty don’t directly translate to policy outcomes or voter behavior. Funding flows don’t guarantee partisan control.

Follow along… You work. You are taxed. The Government sends $300 billion of your tax $ to fund college faculties. College faculties are 90% Democrats. So 90% of political donations from faculties go to Democrat politicians. Americans are forced to pay Democrats. Simple.

@wclemente Leaving? No, that implies they’ve been here.

Everyone is leaving crypto to go trade stocks and rocks

@martypartymusic @benjamincowen Alts did not even live up to their “low “expectations for BTC

@martypartymusic @benjamincowen Most “crypto investors” skipped BTC and went straight to alts. That’s why they are sour. Not because BTC did not live up to their expectations.

Investing should be boring. The idea that the only way to get rich is by buying penny stocks or altcoins is absurd. Bitcoin went up 8x this market cycle. That was an incredible return in only 3 years.
