short the banks

Public blockchains have scaled and largely exhausted their current design space. Arcium opens the next design space for these chains. The <encrypted> design space.

@Xen_IBRL @Arcium 🦾

@N4p_Defi @Arcium Hell yeah!

Would you use @Arcium confidential computing network as an optional privacy layer for perp trades. Having our order details shielded from the public mempool while settlement remains fully on-chain.

@Arcium every trade on solana is public. your entries, exits, and position sizes, all visible on-chain. mev bots frontrun you. competitors see your strategy. large traders can't build positions without moving the market against themselves. why not stay <Encrypted>

March is fully Encrypted Month! Keep your eyes on what's coming from this account. @yrschrade said they spent $100K to create these umbrella ☔ arrangements. We're about to achieve almost the same results at our upcoming events in Northern Nigeria at nearly 90% lower cost!

@AaronRDay Are you telling me Roger Ver was right all along?

Here’s a little music video I made to summarize the situation.

JEFFREY EPSTEIN HIJACKED BITCOIN AND NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT Jeffrey Epstein didn't just traffic people. He hijacked Bitcoin. We found it in the files. Exposed it on The Corbett Report today. Epstein funded the MIT developers who killed Bitcoin as peer-to-peer cash. His crypto advisor Brock Pierce ran the Bitcoin Foundation into the ground, then handed development funding to MIT where Epstein's money was explicitly earmarked for the core devs. We have the emails. Epstein invested in Blockstream, the company that only exists if Bitcoin stays throttled at 7 transactions per second. Then his money funded the developers who made that permanent. Pierce co-founded Tether. A University of Texas study found over 50% of Bitcoin's 2017 price pump came from unbacked Tether printing. The CFTC found only 27 cents backing every dollar of Tether. They manufactured the "digital gold" narrative with fake money. Tether has never passed an audit. Not once. No firm will even work with them. Then Howard Lutnick, Epstein's literal next door neighbor who lied under oath about their relationship, invested $600M in Tether through Cantor Fitzgerald. His firm now manages all of Tether's treasury reserves. Lutnick went from fundraising for Hillary Clinton to chairing Trump's transition team. He installed Bo Hines as White House crypto advisor. Together they pushed the Genius Act, which requires all stablecoins to be backed by US Treasuries, managed by Lutnick's firm. 10 days after the Genius Act passed, Hines quit the White House and became CEO of Tether's US subsidiary. The Genius Act is not crypto innovation. It is a backdoor CBDC that funds $3 trillion in additional government debt while making Lutnick's firm the biggest beneficiary. And there is something worse coming. The Clarity Act will tokenize everything you own. Your stocks, 401k, commodities, real estate. All programmable, trackable, seizeable. Combined with legal changes already made in all 50 states since 1994, when the next financial collapse hits, your assets transfer to the four largest banks with a click of a button. Every player is connected. Every move was coordinated. This is not Big Short 2.0. This is Big Short 2.0 on steroids, pre-planned and run by the same network that already owns the outcome.

Staking is moving beyond simple delegation. We're partnering with @pyefinance to help shape programmable staking markets on Solana! Lockups, stake trading, and validator-native DeFi. The shift starts here. 🧵

@Guardian_Solana @pyefinance LFG!! the chefs are cooking!

Arcium is where Solana’s zero-to-one applications are emerging. The encrypted design space is calling.

I didn't come into crypto 9 years ago to launch a shit coin. I didn't come into crypto to get rich quick. I came into crypto because I believe it's going to change the world, and that the industry was something worth dedicating my life to. But somewhere along the way, amidst the booms, the busts, the moonshots, the decentralization theater, and the straight up scams, we lost our way. I don't know about you, but I'm just tired of false promises. And that's what most things are today, simply promises. We live in the most centralized era crypto has ever experienced, and the more centralized something is, the less meaningful a token is. While it's tempting to want to commit to these same promises, what happens if the team gets acquired? What happens if we want to re-invest into growth? What happens if we divert our time, energy, and resources out of band and circumvent the token altogether? What happens when the team and investors unlock? For many projects, the honest answer to these questions is not pleasant, and you see it in the price chart over and over again. Unless something is completely decentralized to the point where an immutable protocol can function with the team having retired in the Bahamas sipping pina coladas all day, then utility is just a promise. Often that promise is admirable and well intentioned--but ultimately an unenforceable promise nonetheless. Outside of BTC, ETH, SOL, and a few others, nothing really passes this test. Noble new token models have emerged to solve this problem (shout out to MetaDAO), and today, we introduce our own. Users that stake the Backpack token for at least a year will have the opportunity to exchange those tokens for equity at a fixed ratio--20% of the company today. It's such a simple idea, but as far as I'm aware, this is the first time a user has been able to earn the equity of a company by just using the product. So obvious in hindsight, and something I hope others start to adopt as they march on their path to progressive decentralization--both in crypto and outside of the industry. We have a lot more utility coming, things we'll share over the coming weeks, months, and year. As the Backpack community grows, we will decentralize the token, offering new things over time, some centralized like our equity offering, some decentralized as our product evolves. In the limit, I expect the token to represent more than anything a single company has to offer, but in the short run, it's the best we can do to show our long term commitment to our users. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I can't promise anything. The only thing I can promise is commitment. We go big or we go home--together, actually together.

@Sarv_shaktiman very thought provoking.. so what you're saying is we all rekt

For those who haven’t read the Citrini article yet: AI gets so good that companies fire lots of high-paid workers and replace them with cheap AI. Fired workers spend less money → businesses make less → they use even more AI → more jobs disappear. Stock market, loans, mortgages, and banks start breaking because they all assumed people would keep earning high salaries. So even though AI makes the economy “more productive,” it crashes the human economy. If intelligence becomes cheap and unlimited, human jobs lose value, and our entire financial system was built on humans earning money.

did someone say @Arcium ?

Me after checking Gorigins floor not at 100k $GOR yet

@toly @lex_node Send the L2's to the trash!

@lex_node I don’t understand why gor doesn’t have the same value as all the eth L2s combined.

a lot of the L2 teams' responses to Vitalik seem very artfully worded to this lawyers' trained eyes... my guess remains that the big gen-purpose L2s were L2s mostly for regulatory arbitrage reasons (one founder's post this week said the quiet part out loud) and I'd view Vitalik as having 'rugged their cover' therefore, my guess is several of those will transition to being L1s by this time next year as the main benefit they were getting from being L2s is no longer there appchains etc. as Vitalik have been talking about still make sense as L2s for other reasons and will remain so (e.g., Lighter, zkSync which will be SaaS for private blockchains for enterprises) some of my friends in Ethereum have a different understanding...they honestly believe that big gen-purpose L2s are L2s for 'cost savings reasons' and will remain so...but again if you ask what cost they are saving, it's the cost of decentralizing or the cost of complying with laws because you're not decentralized...Vitalik rugged their cover on that, and I think most would end up preferring to pay cost of decentralization than cost of being a regulated intermediary or cost of being Stage 2. . . we'll find out I guess! edit: people already giving me grief for this I will go out on a bigger limb...based on the new incentives I think that Base, Arbitrum and Optimism will stop being rollups...they may technically remain "L2s" as all that requires is a certain kind of bridge but they won't market themselves as L2s . . . obviously things like Lighter are different...megaETH already is not a rollup and has no plans to become one...
