@patrickjwitt @jchervinsky Banks still debating on stablecoins. AI Agents are already spending them.

Arguably my favorite part of this rewards/yield debate has been when bankers say “if we allow this, then we’ll see massive deposit flight.” Crypto has already been offering rewards/yield on stablecoins FOR YEARS. Where is the deposit flight? Is it in the room with us right now?

@brian_armstrong @ethdaily @tether can restrict that transfer as fast as I wrote this one. Thank you #Bitcoin

You can send money from the U.S. to Australia faster than I wrote this tweet, for less than a cent. Thanks crypto.

@CandeloreCoin @AltcoinDaily @DavidSacks @Polymarket Gotcha! But let’s not be conformists...

@Ranghi @AltcoinDaily @DavidSacks @Polymarket Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating for the status quo. I'm saying we have to be realistic.

Hey @DavidSacks - Any crypto Clarity Act updates?

Totally agree, that’s Congress. But BTC price hitting ATH is actually the least important part right now - it will come anyway. The real issue is we can’t keep exposing our butt to centralized issuers like #USDT that can freeze or restrict at will. Convenient? Sure. But it's like stepping into the Matrix with Agent Smiths constantly watching your back😅 We have to stay in Zion most of the time. We need rails that give real user exit and self-custody, not just better branding on the same old control points.

@Ranghi @AltcoinDaily @DavidSacks @Polymarket To clarify, I think Bitcoin - and most alts - will rise steadily until then. But it won't peak until after final passage. Too many players are waiting it out until then.

Probably by doing less begging for better gatekeepers and more building of rails that make them obsolete. The industry has to stop optimizing mainly for platform capture and recover the liberty-first focus. #Bitcoin already showed the path: real self-custody, user exits that actually work, and resilience at the base layer. That’s how we replace an extractive system instead of just rebranding TradFi. But there’s another side too: we users have to learn how to actually use those exits. How do you think we get more people out of the walled garden mindset?

@Ranghi @RippleXrpie I like the idea of resilience and user autonomy. But in practice, how do we prevent new money systems from recreating the same concentration of power we see in traditional finance? Curious how you see that evolving. @Ranghi

🚨HUGE: President Trump announces a major GOLD DEAL with Venezuela. 🇻🇪 The new financial system will be backed by GOLD and powered by CRYPTO. The CLARITY ACT is set to reach Trump’s desk, which makes America the crypto capital of the world! 🇺🇸

Seriously speaking, The longer they drag the yield issue, the clearer it becomes they value legacy banking moats more than responsible innovation and real user choice. Any further delay just exposes they’re defending bank profits over delivering clear regulation that could actually serve citizens.

@Ranghi @AltcoinDaily @DavidSacks @Polymarket I don't think Bitcoin will hit ATH until the CLARITY bill passes. And that's not going to happen until they compromise on stable coin yields. The solution is probably an APR that makes no one happy, but they don't even have a hearing scheduled at the moment.

@VitalikButerin @brian_armstrong @cz_binance Institutions bring liquidity, cool. But if god-tier UX keeps getting built for suits while normies eat the UI tax, crypto just becomes TradFi 2.0 with better rails: same dependency, just faster. Welcome the capital. Don’t sleep on the plebs...

@VitalikButerin Better staking UX is great. But crypto wasn’t built just to make institutions comfortable. Can DVT-lite make sovereign staking actually viable for normal users too?

The Ethereum Foundation is using DVT-lite to stake 72,000 ETH: firefly.social/post/x/2026218… My hope for this project is that in the process, we can make it maximally easy and one-click to do distributed staking for institutions. Choose which computers run your nodes, make a config file where they all have the same key, and then from there everything gets set up automatically. The idea that "running infrastructure" is this scary complicated thing where each person participating must be a "professional" is awful and anti-decentralization, and we must attack it directly. It should be a docker container or nix image or similar, one click or command line per node, enter the same key in each node, and they automatically find each other, the networking is set up, the DKG happens, and the staking begins. I also plan to use this soon, and I hope more institutions holding ETH can stake in this way. We want the authority over staking nodes to be highly distributed, and the first step to doing this is to make it easy.

@VitalikButerin If I’d stayed boring with blue chips instead of chasing ape dopamine, I’d be holding better bags. Real alpha was keeping my DCA trivial enough not to quit.

I actually do the whole new year's resolutions thing, and it actually works. The key thing to understand is that humans are creatures of habit. Doing the same action you've already done regularly takes very little mental effort, whereas inserting a new one-time task takes much more. And so if you want yourself to do certain things more, you need to make it a habit. The year boundary is as good a place as any to evaluate the habits that you're chosen to impose on yourself, and see whether they are effective and sustainable, and adjust, add or remove any. My style is to make them measurable, trackable, and targeted to exactly the level of effort that I know will not make me want to abandon them, even during my months of busiest work, most intensive travel schedule or call schedule, etc. Examples I've done: * Walk an average of >= 6km/day each month * Run >= 50km each month * Write >= 1 blog post each month * Study some language for 30 min each week * Do >= 2 major cryptography programming projects each year At every year boundary, re-evaluate your old list, and decide on your new list. And yeah I have txt files for tracking this (sorry, not gonna use some corposlop app that makes me dependent on third-party servers) You actually want each one to be relatively trivial, so that you can stack multiple, and because the benefits of maximizing are less important than the risk that you will give up on the whole thing. This has worked well for me and I recommend it.

@MilkRoad Institutions scale what CT already made inevitable. Who stuck the needle in?

"99% of institutional investors have never even been on crypto Twitter." They don't care about your CT narratives. They care about Larry Fink and the SEC chair saying every asset gets tokenized. That's what moves the needle.

@brian_armstrong Banks still think stables are about humans chasing yield. What’s actually coming is programmable dollars at AI speed. Can legacy rails deal with that?

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.

@patrickjwitt If stables win on utility, banking loses its monopoly on lazy money. That’s why they reject even the compromise: not to save the system, but to save their furniture. CLARITY's line on real economic activity is responsible innovation; banks just hate that it works.

Can someone please explain to me the logic here? No compromise on CLARITY means no restrictions on intermediaries offering stablecoin rewards. If you believe the banks’ argument about deposit flight, this would be catastrophic. Feels like I’m watching an arsonist threaten to burn down their own home.

@DrJStrategy Ban passive yield if they want, but don't kill rewards tied to real economic activity. CLARITY, protecting that line, keeps innovation onshore and gives Americans real choice instead of trapping them in a broken zero-yield model.

For the record. Banks’ War on Stablecoin Yields Is a Self‑Defeating Cartel Play The banks’ standoff over the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) has moved from caution to farce. They are fighting the one bill that would actually constrain the yield‑bearing stablecoin products they claim will drain their deposits. Banks have spent months trying to gut provisions that let ordinary Americans earn modest returns, 2-4%, on digital dollars through transactional incentives and liquidity rewards. Their fear is clear: if people can hold a dollar‑denominated token in a wallet and earn a real return, hundreds of billions could leak out of low‑yield deposits, squeezing margins and weakening their privileged funding model. That concern might be defensible, if their strategy weren’t completely backwards. By blowing up the White House’s narrow compromise and stalling CLARITY past the March 1 deadline, the banks are preserving the very loophole they say terrifies them. Under the existing GENIUS Act, issuers can’t pay interest, but exchanges and wallets can still offer “rewards” on those same stablecoins. That grey zone is exactly what CLARITY is designed to bring inside the perimeter. The administration’s offer was hardly radical: ban passive “park‑and‑earn” yield that directly mimics deposits, but allow activity‑based rewards tied to payments, transfers, and liquidity. That protects core funding while letting digital‑asset markets remain competitive. The banking lobby’s response was to demand a near‑total prohibition, effectively conscripting regulators to preserve banks’ ability to pay near‑zero on deposits while shutting down anyone who offers a market‑like return. At that point this is no longer prudential oversight; it is naked protectionism. It keeps consumers trapped in a rigged game where incumbents hoard cheap capital and innovation is forced into legal grey zones or offshore. President Trump is right to say the banks are holding the “Crypto Agenda” hostage. Passing CLARITY with the compromise intact, ban idle yield, permit genuine usage‑based rewards—is the only coherent way to protect deposits without strangling a market that already exists. If banks kill that outcome, they may get exactly what they fear: stablecoin rewards growing anyway, just further from U.S. law and closer to the edge of the system, while Americans finally see how little value their so‑called guardians of stability are actually willing to deliver. As President Trump put it, “We’re not going to let the banks strangle innovation just to protect a broken model, Americans deserve real choice, real yield, and a fair system that works for them, not just for Wall Street.”
