*taps the sign again* dunking on exploits is tourist behavior

In February 2026, stablecoins surpassed ACH in monthly volume for the first time. Stablecoins - $7.2T ACH - $6.8T Visa - $1.2T Stablecoins are quietly becoming the foundational infrastructure for global payments: no banks, no weekends, no borders. Data used: @artemis

cheeky review of ethcc day1 in cannes ty to everyone who hosted! what’s on the agenda today? @EspressoSys @Celo @redstone_defi @EthCC @MetaMask @hackenclub

"If the answer makes you uncomfortable, you need a confidentiality layer before you need a stablecoin strategy. The rails are ready. The programmability is real."

I'll vote for literally anyone, from mental Trot to boring lib to neo-fascist, that can tie Liverpool & Manchester together as one de facto city/functional economic area, linked by high-speed rail + dense, integrated tram/bus networks. It's 30 miles distance, lads – two-thirds the length of the Central Line. One big, North-Western megacity with a 4.5-million-strong labour market, advanced industrial clusters, top universities, a massive visitor/night-time/cultural economy, a major transatlantic port & relatively affordable housing. A genuine counterweight to London in the cradle of industrial modernity. Just. Get. It. DONE. (And onwards to a trans-Pennine high speed rail megalopolis encompassing Leeds-Sheffield-Hull etc etc. obvs.)

how it feels when you know your chain already has a post quantum strategy & a dedicated team working to make ethereum quantum resistant

This is wild. Google Research demonstrates a ~20x more efficient implementation of Shor's algorithm that could break ECDSA keys within minutes with ~500K physical qubits. Google is now are more confident on a 2029 post-quantum transition. We are no longer looking at mid 2030s, we could have quantum computers of this scale by the end of the decade. They believe this result is so severe that they are not publishing the actual circuits. They instead published a ZKP proving that they know of the quantum circuit with these properties. This is very atypical, showing Google thinks this is serious shit. All blockchains need a transition plan ASAP. Post-quantum is no longer a drill.

"I'm at my limit" emotional or claude?

After a few weeks in SF, one thing stands out: AI people are more bullish on crypto than crypto people are on themselves. There's this narrative forming in crypto that AI people think crypto is a joke. It's just not true. I keep hearing this over and over from AI people who remain bullish crypto. Hell, Sama, Jensen, Elon, Zuck, the biggest names in AI have all been publicly bullish on crypto and its convergence with AI. Crypto's problem right now isn't that outsiders don't believe. It's that insiders are playing scared.

Gattaca is backing the EEZ initiative. Ethereum needs economically and socially aligned rollups alongside the existing L2 ecosystem.

'Going direct' was helpful advice 5 years ago when 1) the laws of gravity redirected media audiences to one or two social platforms that 2) were not filled with bots Silicon Valley cannot afford to block out mainstream channels now when mom and pop America dislikes the technological class more than ever. You want a land of progress, you need people to vote for innovation and understand how tech applies to them. They still watch local news. And WSJ, NYT, Reuters et all still have the distribution to ignite idea fires. Whether those fires are fair or not is another story If you have no audience, no customer list, no sales, who are you going direct to?🤣 The strategy that works for most founders is 'yes and.' > definitely hone that story of what is broken and what role you play to help the customer or sector evolve > assume it is your responsibility to architect that narrative across the surfaces that resonate best with your people (so direct, so nice) in the absence of news > find thoughtful freelancers and up and coming journos & give them access. They will be allies to you as their careers grow and will give you thoughtful feedback on the optics of the business, also to learn what resonates with the *readers* of the press > fight like hell to understand your toughest critics. there are plenty of tech press who have made a sport out of leaking unfavorable gossip that don't reflect the reality of a business. They knowingly print BS because it feels good to take down someone wealthy or hit a stock price. They get paid on clicks. These people give the media a bad name and should be avoided. But if it's easy to tell a bad story about your business...that is a business problem, not a PR problem. TLDR It is fine that some of the most powerful players in tech can take their toys and go home, and that may be the best strategy for them. But for most founders growing a category or fundraising, learning to articulate your vision AND understanding the discourse of the zeitgeist is a critical trait that makes you a better leader. If you get the chance to engage with the media, enlist a strong comms person and take it

@KevOnStage Wait until Season 3

Join @fede_intern on March 31 at @blockspaceforum, Cannes 2026. Sharing the stage with an incredible lineup, this is going to be a great conversation.

the number of people that have never heard of rain is hilarious behind 95% of crypto cards but zero twitter presence but no one knows about it because "it doesnt have an intern tweeting all day" doing research, using products, understanding them >>> scrolling the TL

my head was spinning trying to track every agent payments project. new wallets, new protocols, acquisitions every week. so I mapped the whole thing: agentpaymentsstack.com 87 projects. 6 layers. from settlement to application.
