SEC chair Paul Atkins: “All U.S. markets will be on-chain within two years.”

Gold’s core flaw? It can’t prove itself. Schiff holds up a gold bar. CZ asks: “Is it real?” Schiff: “I don’t know.” To verify, you must melt it. And 5–10% of global gold is fake. Bitcoin? Gold says “trust me.” Bitcoin says “verify.” That’s the difference the market is waking up to.

Big upgrade coming to Ethereum on Dec 3! 🚀 "Fusaka" is like widening the highway and upgrading the engines at the same time. ✅ Near-instant, cheaper transactions ✅ Better mobile experience ✅ Zero downtime expected Making global infrastructure reliable. #Ethereum #ETH #FusakaUpgrade #Web3 @ethereum @ethereumfndn

BlackRock's Larry Fink continues to emphasize one message: the future is tokenized. “Tokenization is probably the most important component in the evolution of the world’s financial plumbing.” The next era of finance is being built onchain.

@EricBalchunas Interesting how some of the fastest-growing ETFs right now are crypto.

What a week for $BSOL, besides the big volume, it led all crypto ETPs by a country mile in weekly flows with +$417m ($IBIT had a rare off week, it'll be back). It also ranked it 16th in overall flows for the week. Big time debut.

@_ashmorgan_ @VitalikButerin @ethereum_sg The Internet thrived because no single country owned it. Fast, local networks are easy. Global, neutral ones are hard — but that’s what makes them unstoppable. Credible neutrality is the only sustainable path.

Building an American blockchain Vs. an international unstoppable network — the tradeoff between high throughput and security — some incredible insights from @VitalikButerin during @ethereum_sg ⚡️

Ethereum is incorruptible home

@scottmelker The future of finance is being built with new rails - asset by asset

BLACKROCK CEO LARRY FINK: "WE’RE NOT SPENDING ENOUGH TIME TALKING ABOUT HOW QUICKLY WE’RE GOING TO TOKENIZE EVERY FINANCIAL ASSET."

👉 The rails of finance are being rebuilt — asset by asset.

🚀 The Future of Finance will be tokenized - faster than we think according BlackRock CEO Larry Fink Every financial asset will be tokenized quickly and moving on to wallets. @BlackRock #tokenization

Incorruptibility is Ethereum's most important property.

Everyone said ChatGPT killed Google Search. Really? 215B LTM revenue — up 117% in 5 years. Did AI just feed Google steroids? @Google @OpenAI

Is history repeating itself? #bitcoin #gold

@FoundersPodcast Insightful for leadership

New episode: "How Elon Works" This episode covers the insanely valuable company-building principles of Elon Musk A few notes from the episode: 1. The mission comes first. 2. Retreat is not an option. 3. A maniacal sense of urgency is our operating principle. 4. Product design should be driven by engineers. 5. You should not separate engineering from product design. 6. Having separate design and production departments is bullshit. Keep everything together and feedback immediate. 7. The leader should be on the front lines. You should be a battlefield general. 8. "If they see the general out on the battlefield, the troops are going to be motivated. Wherever Napoleon was, that's where his armies would do best." 9. Apply The Algorithm constantly. (1) Question every requirement. (2) Delete any part of the process you can. (3) Simplify and optimize. (4) Accelerate cycle time. (5) Automate. 10. Repetition is persuasive. "I became a broken record on the algorithm. I think it's helpful to say it to an annoying degree." 11. You should go ultra-hardcore on deletion and simplification. 12. Camaraderie is dangerous. It makes it hard for people to challenge each other’s work. (Refer to point #1) 13. Never ask your troops to do something you wouldn’t do. 14. Hire for attitude. Skills can be taught. Attitude changes require a brain transplant. 15. Good attitude = A desire to work maniacally hard. 16. The only rules are the ones dictated by the laws of physics. Everything else is a recommendation. 17. Keep your entire company committed to a common goal. 18. If things aren’t going well, throw away the existing design, start from first principles, question every requirement based on fundamental physics. 19. Find the limit. You want to delete as much as possible and you can’t do that unless you find the limit. 20. If you aren’t adding back at least 10% of the things you deleted, then you didn’t delete enough. 21. Maintain control. Avoid joint ventures. Eliminate middlemen. 22. Have a relentless dedication to questioning every requirement. 23. No work about work, just work. 24. Go to the problem. Get on the plane. Fly to the source. Go to the exact location in the factory. Go to the problem and stay there until it's resolved. 25. The best part is no part. 26. Be wired for war. 27. Do not fear losing. It hurts the first 50 times but then you’ll be able to play with less emotion. You will take more risks. 28. Stay heads down focused on doing useful things for civilization. 29. When something is important and has to be done quickly, have meetings every 24 hours to run the algorithm and check on the previous days progress. You'll be shocked at how fast this speeds things up. 30. Life needs to be interesting and edgy. 31. Delete, delete, delete, delete. There are 100 more ideas in the episode. I hope you listen to it. 30 years of Elon’s career + 60 hours of reading and research and me just absolutely ripping through idea after idea at 2x speed for 90 minutes. It will be hard to find a better use of time.

🇺🇸 $12.5 TRILLION BLACKROCK CEO SAYS THEY CONSULTED MICHAEL SAYLOR WHEN #BITCOIN WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BEAR MARKET THIS IS WILD!!

$46 T moved via stablecoins last year — ~$9 T in real activity. They’re decoupling from trading, cited +1000 % YoY in SEC filings, and now hold more U.S. Treasuries than many nations. Stablecoins aren’t “crypto tools” anymore — they’re financial infrastructure. ⚡@a16z @cdixon
