@BullRushClub @tsmbuild beneficial. Benedict ("Arnold"?) must've been a slip.

#1 Question Why would listing Bitcoin on pumpfun carnivals like Coinbotch Krackhead and Chinance be benedict to it. They’ve proven in the past many times to support crooked schemes when not outright fighting Bitcoin in courts and with nasty propaganda. Would you also approve of the USA storing its nuclear missile facilities in China or Iran, Russia or Dubai? #2 Question Can you quote the phrases within the Clarity Act which explain how it demands what assets exchanges list? Because I’m not aware of any such verbiage in it, and furthermore will venture a guess that if the Clarity Act is approved there would be ANY benefit to Bitcoin (but maybe it would benefit btc ethereum and other obvious securities).

🚨BREAKING ALERT 🚨The CLARITY Act 2025 is about to become a NUCLEAR BOOST for #BSV! The real Bitcoin SV is headed straight back to EVERY regulated U.S. exchange — and this isn’t “if” anymore… it’s WHEN! 💣🇺🇸📈 1️⃣ Digital Commodity — LOCKED & LOADED BSV = the original Bitcoin protocol (Satoshi’s whitepaper 1:1, no deviations) → The CLARITY Act MUST classify it as a digital commodity under CFTC jurisdiction. Just like BTC. Zero debate. No SEC prison anymore!🚀🔥 2️⃣ Full Decentralization — NO ONE IN CONTROL No miner even close to 20% hashrate (GorillaPool tops out at ~8–16%). BSV crushes the “mature blockchain” criteria — more decentralized than 90% of the so-called “top cryptos”! 🔒💪✅ 3️⃣ Utility on Steroids DeFi exemptions, staking rewards, on-chain enterprise ops — all cleared for takeoff. BSV’s unlimited blocks, micropayments, Metanet, massive data handling… this is EXACTLY what the world has been waiting for! 📈💥✅ 4️⃣ Stablecoin Drama? We Don’t Care Their yield fights only speed things up. The sooner they compromise, the faster CLARITY drops and BSV launches! 💪🏼✅ 5️⃣ MANDATORY LISTING on EVERY U.S. Regulated Exchange CLARITY → BSV = digital commodity → Coinbase, Kraken, Gemini, Binance US + EVERY legal U.S. CEX MUST list it. Refusal = straight-up federal law violation! 💥 End of delistings. Institutional money flood. Hundreds of millions in daily volume within weeks! 💰 This isn’t theory. Once the bill is signed, it’s automatic — BitcoinSV returns to the U.S. mainstream market, the biggest financial playground on Earth. The real Bitcoin shine is coming — faster than you think! 🌟 #BitcoinSV #BSV #CLARITYAct #RealBitcoin #SatoshiVision #CryptoMoonshot #Flippening2026 Your move — DROP IN THE COMMENTS: “COINBASE FIRST” “KRAKEN MOON” “BINANCE US WINS” Which exchange announces BSV listing first after CLARITY? Tag a friend and let the FOMO spread! 👇🔥RT if you KNOW BSV is reclaiming the throne RIGHT NOW! 🚀💥 Don’t sleep on this — history is being written TODAY!

History has proven beyond doubt that a tradable asset only needs a single moral well-functioning exchange that cares about true price discovery. More exchanges is not better, particularly when the "more" includes shady headquarterless unaccountable price-and-volume-manipulating "exchanges" with fake volumes and guttersnipe CEOs willing to use any means necessary to destroy opponents or coif more money from its own customers at their expense. Again, you wouldn't have your country store its defense weapons inside the borders of its nemesis mortal enemy, so why would Bitcoin want its commodity trading on an exchange who sued the pants off the founder of Bitcoin and attempted to incarcertate him on trumped-up charges. Not sure how more obvious it can get, that more exchanges and rubber-stamping security-cryptos is VERY bad for Bitcoin [BSV].

It seems you may have misunderstood the point I was trying to make. You should focus more on the substance and less on the narrative. I’ve been in the financial markets for over 30 years, and from that perspective, your arguments about whether Bitcoin SV needs to be listed on CEXs or not feel quite detached from reality. Once real Bitcoin (BSV) gains proper access to regulated exchanges, two things will happen: 1) The technology behind Bitcoin SV will see explosive adoption and popularity. 2) That mass adoption and real-world utility will drive exponential price growth — the kind of growth that, from today’s standpoint, will look almost unimaginable to the average market participant. This isn’t just speculation. It’s basic market mechanics.

Meet the new boss... 🎶 youtu.be/UDfAdHBtK_Q?si…

Willing to bet the Clarity Act will not help Bitcoin get on any exchanges. Bitcoin already trades on @orangegatewayx and at the amount Bitcoin ACTUALLY trades, that's not only enough, it's MORE than enough because OG could limit it's trading hours to 1 hour a day and that would likely IMPROVE liquidity and price discovery, rather than hamper it. Often, less is more. Long trading hours and too many exchanges IS, however, ideal for price manipulation. That's why cryptocurrency carnival exchanges are open 24/7/365. All the better to price-manipulate you with, Grandma!

Additionally: U.S. exchanges do not have the right to arbitrarily discriminate against assets that meet clear legal criteria.If the CLARITY Act passes and BSV is formally classified as a digital commodity (under CFTC jurisdiction), then major exchanges such as: Coinbase Kraken Gemini Binance. US Robinhood Crypto will no longer be able to use excuses like “it’s too regulatory risky” or “we’re unsure of its classification.”The law will be clear and apply equally to everyone. They will either list all digital commodities under the same rules — or risk accusations of unfair practices and discrimination. That’s why the CLARITY Act is not just “it might help.” It’s the real removal of the biggest barrier currently blocking Bitcoin SV from regulated U.S. exchanges.

@BullRushClub @tsmbuild I don't know of any exchanges who aren't listing Bitcoin [BSV] due to regulatory clarity. Exchanges list Fartcoin; what kind of "clarity" do you think they've been using?

Hey, good questions — I’ll answer both directly. #1 I’m not saying we should list on shady or manipulative platforms. I’m talking about regulated U.S. exchanges (Coinbase, Kraken, etc.) under clear commodity rules.The difference is massive: ✅Right now BSV is stuck in regulatory gray area. ✅CLARITY Act would classify it clearly as a digital commodity (like gold or oil), putting it under CFTC instead of SEC. That’s not “pump and dump carnival” — that’s moving from the shadows into regulated markets with real liquidity, institutional access, and legitimacy.Comparing regulated U.S. exchanges to “storing nukes in China/Iran” is a bit of a stretch. It’s more like moving from unregulated offshore brokers to proper, audited U.S. platforms. #2 You’re right — the CLARITY Act does not contain language that forces exchanges to list any specific asset. What it does is create legal clarity: ✅Clearly separates digital commodities from securities ✅Gives CFTC clear jurisdiction over commodities (like BSV) ✅Removes the constant SEC threat of “everything is a security” This clarity dramatically lowers legal risk for exchanges to list BSV. That’s the real benefit. Right now many exchanges avoid BSV not because they hate it, but because the regulatory risk is too high. CLARITY Act removes much of that risk. Would love to hear your thoughts after this clarification.

It might indeed remove legal clarity for certain securities who managed to (cough: pay off?) convince regulators writing the bill that they aren't securities, when it's pretty clear they are (eth is especially easy to classify as a security). But that's not good for Bitcoin, which already can withstand the pressure of this analysis. The only reason I see for this "Act" is to rubber-stamp crap which wouldn't stand up to a court examination. I still don't believe it will work. WHEN crypto collapses towards it's utility point, which is to say ZERO to NEGATIVE VALUE, government will be looking for scapegoats, and anyonet behind this bill will likely be included in the target. People will wish they stayed away from the Clarity Act the way they now wish they stayed away from a camera when standing near Jeffrey Epstein-- or in Backwards Adam's case-- standing on Epstein Island itself.

@BullRushClub @tsmbuild Coinbase and Kraken in particular have turned over every stone in their pursuit to destroy Bitcoin, since as long as I can remember. Those are not good examples, unless they're examples of well-funded enemies to Bitcoin [BSV].

@LightBSV @ProjectBabbage @shruggr @ishaan_lahoti "Finance guys" are just like any other guys in a profession: about 5% of them are good, 1% great, and the rest might fit your classification here. There are some good ones, but its admittedly a trick to find them.

@EquityDiamonds @ProjectBabbage @shruggr @ishaan_lahoti Finance guys don't care about developers, software or technology. They care about money. It's their whole world. They will absolutely throw you under the bus at any moment it becomes convenient. One can spend years writing code, building, only to be railroaded into the ditch.

I was the one to pay them the $30k, for winning first place in the Austin hackathon. BSVA sponsored. I can also attest to their awesome work over the past year. I know a devoted, long-haul builder when I see one. As for the project, it’s up on GitHub. Once we have better smart contract primitive and stablecoins like BTMS/BRC98/99 are mainstream, I’m sure someone will pick it up.

How's My Driving: @AppleSupport How Apple is burning its brand capital BADLY: 1) Lightning connector to the Landfill was left to fill landfills for 11 years of hell. God only knows how much money the company made off their abomination of a "technology"? Major black mark which shows how company operates. 2) Siri ously? started off decently enough, needing some improvements in 2010-- the "AI" toy of its day. The future looked bright. Today, press the Siri button that comes standard at the top of your device at your own risk of mental frustration. Almost everything asked of Siri nowdays comes up empty and cursewords soon follow until the customer vows never to use it again (or at least for another year). Every year for 16 years getting worse, is something that should be shut down because its embarrassing. Jeeze, PLENTY of money could be made with Siri too, so @tim_cook's tenure as CEO looks like a major Steve Jobs mistake at this point. 3) Apple Maps it's EOL See Siri section. Rough start, some quick improvement, but then the product has become only more of a joke since then. Again, PLENTY of money could be made here, so another one for the failed Tim Cook CEO-ship. 4) AirDrop Bomb. When it once worked well, it was amazing. Now you have better look betting green on a roulette wheel in Trump Casino (the one in Atlantic City, not the Trump Family Crypto Casino). 5) WiFi ght it? Wifi on Apple devices is apparently unable to measure signal strength and switch to the best connected network automatically. This has gotta be a single line of code on-device, at worst. How this is a problem for poor Apple device users is just the final straw on this long list of basic blocking & tackling disasters. 6) Apple Watch While the watch could do amazing things, it messes up the simple things. Like weather. Like staying in good contact with ipHone. Like being personalized to a customer without the customer needing an Apple software and networking degree to maintain it. Eventually customers tire of the complicated system, and go back to mechanical watches they can at least trust for the TIME. The Apple monopoly is living up to the m-word-- abusing the hell out of its poor users but also itself. Leadership grade: D The only reason it's not an F is I think Cook maybe got Apple watch out the door and to big sales despite fumbling the football on it's continued success. Just writing this bc monopolies are monopolies for a reason, and all we can do is pray, hope and complain until they take that trillion dollar valuation and actually live up to it. Very fortunate for a company to have as much opportunity and cash behind it as Apple, and right now its hard to come up with a leader or group of people less deserving of these unique oppotunities than today's Jobless Apple. If you own lots of shares in Apple, you should be pushing every Annual Meeting for a new CEO. If not, jeeze 🤷🏻‍♂️

@FinanceFreeman @TopShooter35289 @ProjectBabbage @Kate_L_Mosso Summary: Craig Wright is an unhinged drama queen with bad technical ideas about Bitcoin and probably not Satoshi I built all the BItcoin infrastructure slictionary.com/seek/smh bloco

⚡️ $BSV Interview with @ProjectBabbage We discuss what is BSV, how it was created, FUD around Craig Wright, and why Bitcoin Satoshi Visions is in Ty’s opinion the TRUE Bitcoin. Recording credit: @Kate_L_Mosso Recorded at ETH Denver!

@ProjectBabbage @shruggr @ishaan_lahoti I don’t understand the difference between open source and (either) slavery or simpery. Wish someone could help me understand how open source is good for all participants. When I see those two words together the first thing that comes to mind is someone eating a shit sandwich.

@shruggr @EquityDiamonds @ishaan_lahoti Closed source :(

@shruggr @ishaan_lahoti @ProjectBabbage Thanks— I sent additional questions to your Xchat

@EquityDiamonds @ishaan_lahoti @ProjectBabbage The tooling was based around simple use cases. Had to get way deep into understanding of their compiler and encoding to build unlocking scripts for more complex contracts. Maybe there were easier ways, but I always had to take the hard path. Also, closed source

@NickG222222 @robert964492 More like holding unrefined oil in giant expensive tanks in 1848 before there was a market for kerosene.

@robert964492 @EquityDiamonds "Holding BSV is like being Rockefeller quietly laying thousands of miles of heavy iron pipeline while the rest of the market gets rich flipping muddy wildcat drilling claims—it’s a brutal, unglamorous grind, right up until the world actually needs to move the oil at scale."

Hey @EquityDiamonds , replace "Filecoin" with "BSV" and this post would be just as true. If you invested $10,000 in BSV 5 years ago, today you’d have roughly $280–$300 — enough to buy a 10TB hard drive and store your own data like a normal human being. Maybe the token price is trying to tell you something about the "everything on chain" value proposition? x.com/stacy_muur/sta…

$270mm is stolen on my country’s soil, and as President I create a dedicated detective + swat team and go on an active manhunt for the mega-criminal, with the first step a very obvious freezing of funds. In fiat this would’ve been obvious to even a tiny Jimmy Stewart bank in Walla Walla.

@EquityDiamonds Circle freezing the funds is a real question but also a very gray area. What’s the line we allow for these centralized entities to step in?

Why does Ethereum always seem to be the exit-koyne of choice for cryptocurrency criminals? (see tweet below) USDC seems new though. Thought they were going to try to be more interested in security than Tether? Why wouldn’t they just freeze the USDC koynes? April Fools theft or real? See what I mean about the world no longer needing April Fools because EVERY day is exploitation of fools?

I have no well-refined answer, but I’d venture $270mm is WELL above the threshold. I mean SHIIIT, how many movies have you watched about a couple of bank robbers wielding guns and eliciting dangerous car chases to make off with a few thousands of dollars? The fact we don’t even flinch anymore when hundreds of millions are stolen is ABSURD. $270mm stolen just 20 years ago would’ve been the biggest news of the century in crime. The guy who stole this money could’ve bought the Philadelphia 76ers only 14 years ago with the amount pocketed. Not your keys not your coin is anarchy; as in, you only own what you can defend violently— otherwise your work and assets are just a bank for a neighboring army.

@CaptainBSV @ishaan_lahoti @ProjectBabbage What could’ve been added to make it better? Mainly it’s platform for writing unlocking scripts in a language more familiar than Forth.

@EquityDiamonds @ishaan_lahoti @ProjectBabbage Truth? It’s basic af.

The stuff I’m reading this April Fools isn’t any different than what I was reading the previous 90 days of 2026– or even since 2020— all of it is so bizarre EVERY DAY IS APRIL FOOLS. Next year just skip the fake posts and post the real ones— no one will recognize the difference anyway.

Can't believe she wrote this 70 years ago
