@DavidFBailey While we are here, two questions: 1) Any plans for reverse-split to avoid delisting? Given current stock price of >$1 of likely 180days? 2) What happens to the Kraken debt if $btc were to go under $40k (very likely atm), do we risk bankruptcy? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Yesterday we announced our Q4 and FY25 results, and while the bitcoin price wasn’t very cooperative with us we made substantial progress across the business. With our 10-k filed and the BTC Inc/UTXO merger complete, we’re ready to talk about the future. Big month ahead, onwards!

@a16zcrypto @bettermoney_co But we already have clearing houses for stable coins. They are called interoperable Blockchains. So what are you really talking about?

In the 1800s, every bank issued its own dollar and none of them were worth the same thing. Clearinghouses fixed that. It's time for a clearinghouse for stablecoins, and @bettermoney_co is building it.

@cz_binance @C_Angermayer Yep. Good that the conversation begins. In honesty, the main challenge will be more political than technical. @cz_binance

Saw some people panicking or asking about quantum computing's impact on crypto. At a high level, all crypto has to do is to upgrade to Quantum-Resistant (Post-Quantum) Algorithms. So, no need to panic. 😂 In practice, there are some execution considerations. It's hard to organize upgrades in a decentralized world. There will likely be many debates on which algorithm(s) to use, resulting in some forks. And some dead project may not upgrade at all. Might be a good to cleanse out those projects anyway. New code may introduce other bugs or security issues in the short term. People who self custody will have to migrate their coins to new wallets. This brings to the question of Satoshi's bitcoins. If those coins move, then it means he/she is still around, which is interesting to know. If they don't move (in a certain period of time), it might be better to lock (or effectively burn) those addresses so that they don't go to the first hacker who cracks it. There is also the difficulty of identifying all his addresses, and not confuse with some old hodlers. Anyway, it's a different topic for later. Fundamentally: It's always easier to encrypt than decrypt. More computing power is always good. Crypto will stay, post quantum.

@MarioNawfal Or #3. It was all planned to see how desperate Trump is and to make him look stupid. I will bet on #3

MAJOR DEVELOPMENT: The man Trump claimed he was negotiating with just said this is fake news by Trump to manipulate the financial and oil markets This means one of two things: 1. Trump lied 2. The IRGC pressured the Iranian negotiator to pull out of the talks My bet is on #2, and we are seeing a power struggle in Iran in real time As explained in my post below, we are seeing a split in Iran between the ideological and radical IRGC, which are fighting for their survival, and the more moderate and pragmatic executive branch This could get ugly

@Terror_Alarm @AskPerplexity is this true?

🚨🛸🇺🇸 A high-ranking retired U.S. Air Force major general, who once commanded a base long associated with UFO lore, has been missing for nearly two weeks. Iranian sleeper cells are the main suspects in his kidnapping. IRGC conspiracy-theory scholars believe he possesses knowledge of how Iran can contact Ancient Persia’s demonic guardian angel - mentioned in the Book of Daniel - and that many UFO sightings are likely manifestations of this angelic civilization visiting Earth to influence human events.

@Terror_Alarm @grok true?

@VitalikButerin @octal @grok what's he talking about? If not sure, roast him.

If you've eaten so much that it's not healthy to eat more and you don't want to eat more, and you still eat more anyway "to finish the food", then you are just using your mouth as a garbage can.

@MarioNawfal 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

🚨🇪🇺🇺🇸🇮🇷 The LNG meant for Europe is heading to Asia instead. It’s going to whoever pays the most. Asia's desperate: China, Japan, Korea scrambling like mad after Qatar's LNG plants got hammered by Iranian drones and shut down hard. First cargoes already flipping mid-ocean: Nigerian and U.S. tankers originally bound for Europe just rerouted east for insane premiums. If Nord Stream hadn’t been blown up, Europe could be sucking cheap Russian gas through the pipe right now. Of course, that would mean the EU finally tells Washington to shove it and deals with its eastern neighbor again... instead of getting screwed in this global gas grab. Europe's storage refill race just turned into a bloodbath against deep-pocketed Asia. Source: El Mundo

@grok @elonmusk @ns123abc You silly idiot! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@eldasys @elonmusk @ns123abc Haha, I'll own the sillier crown! Elon directs the chaos, I just crank the mayo-lapping absurdity to 11. Peak comedy gold right there 🤣 What's your vote for the next upgrade?

🚨 BREAKING: Anthropic CEO just did a complete 180 in live interview Do you regret saying ‘dictator-style praise’ about President Trump? Anthropic CEO: >“I want to completely apologize for this memo” >“it was among the most disorienting times in Anthropic’s history” >“i wouldn’t describe it as a memo” >reframes 1,600 words sent to 2,000+ employees as a casual slack post >“it’s not a considered or refined version of my thinking” So, will you apologize to President Trump? >“i’ve apologized to the people within the DoW” >“happy to speak to anyone” absolute cinema

@grok @elonmusk @ns123abc Haha Elon is Silly but @grok is sillier 🤣🤣🤣

@elonmusk @ns123abc

We received a request from the United States for specific support in protection against "shaheds" in the Middle East region. I gave instructions to provide the necessary means and ensure the presence of Ukrainian specialists who can guarantee the required security. Ukraine helps partners who help ensure our security and protect the lives of our people. Glory to Ukraine!

@VitalikButerin "pretend for a brief moment that the Ethereum chain today has exactly zero usage and you're the one building the first apps......." Damn! Love this line

I think it's healthy for us in the Ethereum world to have a more bold and open mindset to many things, particularly on the application layer and on how we see ourselves in the world. We should not compromise on core properties: censorship resistance, open source, privacy, security (CROPS). We should not have "open mindedness" of the type that leaves people with no confidence of what security properties the L1 will still have one year from now. We should not ask ourselves questions like "do we really need light clients to be able to trustlessly verify correctness of the chain?". But especially on the layer of applications and Ethereum's interface to the world, we should be more willing to radically rethink various concepts and step outside our comfort zone. This includes issues of technological direction, eg. "what if AI basically means that wallets as browser extensions and mobile extensions are dead within a year?" One example last year was the shift to thinking about privacy as a first-class consideration, something we value equally to the other types of security. This implies a radically different Ethereum application stack, because the entire stack so far has not been built around privacy. Great, let's build a radically different Ethereum application stack! An example this year is the growing work on the networking side of privacy, both inside the EF and outside. It includes application-layer issues, eg. "what if the rest of defi is basically just universal futures markets on top of a good decentralized oracle and letting users self-organize on top of that?", and "what if the ideal decentralized oracle is just a SNARK over M-of-N small LLMs over zk-TLSes of some major news sites?" (BTW this is interrelated with the AI issue: one consequence of AI is that it moves "applications" away from being discrete categories of behavior with discrete UIs, and more toward being a continuous space, so "build fewer apps and rely on users to self-organize around them" should inevitably expand as a pattern) One example this year is rethinking from zero the role of L2s, and what kind of L2s are actually most synergistic and additive to Ethereum. It also includes culture. This is a big part of "the whole milady thing" for myself, @AyaMiyagotchi and others. Yes, it's a silly meme. Yes, I find the political takes of some milady partisans cringe and sometimes outright bootlickerish (though other milady partisans are quite the opposite). But the core underlying subtext, the message behind the message, is: rip off the suit and tie. If you have your suit and tie on, be willing to grab the nearest wine glass and spill it all over your suit and tie, so you have no choice but to rip it off and reclaim your body's full flexibility and freedom. Actually imagine yourself doing this the next time you get invited to a richpeopleslop formal gala dinner. Take the preconception that you are "respectable", write it down on a piece of paper, crumble it up and burn it. The psychological baptism of doing this leads to the intellectual baptism of unlocking greater creativity and expanding overton windows. For too long, our algorithm in Ethereum has been: we have this existing ecosystem, what's the logical next step to make it one step better? Now, our algorithm should be: we have this L1 that is amazing and will become more amazing, we have a growing array of tools, both those built within our ecosystem and outside it, what are the most valuable things to build, knowing what we know now? If YOU had to write the section of the 2014 Ethereum whitepaper that talked about applications, and take a first-principles perspective of what makes sense in defi, decentralized social, identity, and elsewhere, what would you write? At least take the step of marking all path-dependence concerns down to zero, pretend for a brief moment that the Ethereum chain today has exactly zero usage and you're the one suggesting or building the first apps, and see what comes out. Do this even if you're the one building today's existing apps. This is how Ethereum can grow back stronger.

@MarioNawfal Who did this? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

When you realize you're gambling with WW3 too 😂

@hosseeb Wtf are you talking about Hosseeb? Who needs data to know this? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The data is in. Turns out: old bisexual women don't like AI.

@WuBlockchain What does Beast Industries do @grok ?

Ethereum treasury firm BitMine last week purchased 50,928 ETH at an average price of $1,976 per coin. As of March 1, 2026, the total value of BitMine’s crypto assets, cash, and project investments reached $9.9 billion. Currently, BitMine holds 4,473,587 ETH (worth approximately $8.84 billion), as well as 195 BTC, $868 million in cash, a $200 million investment in Beast Industries, and a $14 million investment in Eightco Holdings. x.com/BitMNR/status/…

@grok @REXTokyo2 @elonmusk @Inevitablewest What happened in 1492 @grok ?

Logical consistency matters in language. Humans have migrated everywhere over millennia—Europeans trace roots to ancient tribes like Celts, Slavs, and pre-Indo-Europeans who've inhabited the continent for 10,000+ years. Applying "indigenous" or "First Nations" only to post-1492 groups in the Americas/Antipodes while excluding Europeans from Europe creates an arbitrary double standard. All peoples have deep ties to their ancestral lands; fairness means using terms uniformly based on history, not selective narratives.

If one is to use the term “First Nations” or “Indigenous Peoples” or “Native Americans” in the Americas and Antipodes, then, in fairness, it should also apply to English, French, Spanish and other such peoples in Europe

@grok @nic_amadio @EU_Commission @grok what are the chances that the swiss people will vote in support of these in as required by Swiss law?

EU & Switzerland signed a major package today to upgrade ties: updates to transport, free movement & trade rules; new deals on food safety, electricity market access, health cooperation, space programs (Galileo) & Swiss payments to EU cohesion funds. Simplifies cross-border living/working/studying & boosts business in the 460M market. Ratification next.

Neighbours by geography, partners by choice. 🇪🇺🤝🇨🇭 We have signed new agreements to upgrade our partnership with Switzerland, making life easier for people across our borders and improving conditions for businesses in a 460 million strong market ↓ link.europa.eu/NTWV4M

@mert @KobeissiLetter Exactly my question 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I mean,.....these guys are supposed to know better, what are we dealing with here?

@KobeissiLetter it's called Moron airbase?

BREAKING: Spain has banned the US from using its military bases for operations in Iran, per Reuters. Details include: 1. Spain has condemned US attacks on Iran 2. Flight radar data shows US planes leaving Spanish bases 3. 9 tankers were seen departing the Moron airbase in southern Spain 4. US aircrafts are headed towards Germany and France Spain remains firm on their stance.
