@EricTrump In 2026, the American Bankers Association's top priority is banning stable coin yields to safeguard $6.6 trillion in deposits, sparking negotiations with crypto firms for compromise, highlighting escalating regulatory battles over financial innovation versus banking stability.

Let me make this very clear: Big Banks (think JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, etc.) are lobbying overtime to block Americans from getting higher yields on their savings—while trying to block any rewards or perks from being given to customers. These banks, and others, pay rock-bottom rates on standard savings (often 0.01%–0.05% APY), even as the Fed pays them 4% or more. This massive spread fuels record profits, with almost none passed back to their customers / everyday depositors. Today, the banks are desperately targeting crypto/stablecoins, where platforms plan to offer 4–5%+ yields or rewards. The ABA and other lobbyists are spending millions trying to ban or restrict those yields via bills like the Clarity Act, crying “fairness” and using words like "stability"—when it's really about protecting their low-rate monopoly and preventing deposit flight. This is anti-retail, anti-consumer, and straight-up anti-American. Next time you see a big bank dropping billions on a shiny new Midtown Manhattan HQ, you know exactly where that money comes from: the non-existent interest rate they “pay” you! Fortunately, the big banks are losing this fight as customers wake up to the games… @worldlibertyfi

Trump's Fed pick (Warsh) strengthening the dollar = risk-off for crypto. $BTC -6%+, $ETH -9%, $SOL bleeding. Liquidity drying up, but dips like this built the last cycle. Buy the fear? 🩸

@Agonybeard gum gum pistol….lfg

Time to get back in the old luffy mode again a whole year ahead to plan and buy blood while people do anything to fud themselves out of crypto

@shiri_shh hi

twitter is cool. but it’s 100x better when your timeline is full with people who code and build things. if you’re into tech, AI, startups, design, web dev, web3, or programming, say hi 👋

@hmalviya9 Real OG is back :)

The future belongs to polymaths. And I am a hardcore polymath. I don’t care about your stupid trends. I will pick a specific exploration every day, and braindump most based insights on them. I will explore hard as hard as I did crypto. I will explore the life same way now. I will decode all those alpha hidden from you since long time. It’s time to get awaken. SHOW TIME ⛰️

@nirajhodler Great comebacks mate! Whats the best place to do research for new finds? CT is generally full of FUD during down phase

This game is hard. Thread 🧵 But the good thing is crypto always gives you another chance. Back in Q4 2018, I was completely depressed. My portfolio was down ~90%. Silence everywhere. No hype. No noise. Instead of quitting, I went deep into research mode. Found some L1 gems and started exploring #DeFi very early. That phase paid off. From the bottom, I managed 200x–250x gains. But I made a big mistake—didn’t book enough profits. In 2022, everything fully retraced. Once again, my portfolio was down ~90%. A painful reminder that gains mean nothing without discipline. Q4 2022—silence again. But I kept looking for alpha. This time, I caught the #AI narrative early. In 2023 alone, I made 14x–17x from the bottom. A strong comeback. But in 2024, I started breaking again. Got a couple of chances in 2024 when I made new ATH & did 20x But once more, failed to fully capitalize. Now we are in Dec 2025. Silence all around. Portfolio down 80–85%. And I’m asking myself—what’s next? 🤔 One thing I’ve learned: The early days of a bull cycle are everything. Just like 2019–2020, 2023, and early 2024 80% of the gains are made early. Later, greed kicks in. We start chasing garbage. Discipline fades. That’s also when scammers become most active, Extracting money from emotional and undisciplined traders. What if 2026 is the early phase of the altcoin rally? And most people are sidelined again? History doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes. People get stuck in the same loop every cycle. Sometimes, you must take hard decisions to break out of the loop. Be brutal with selling, no matter how bullish the market feels. Make your own exit plan on paper. Stick it on your workplace. Read it every single day. In 2022, I wrote a WhatsApp message to a crypto friend: “If I reach my target, you must force me to book at least 50%. If I refuse, take my Ledger and sell.” But he was a crypto guy too just like us. Greedy. Hopeful. Emotional. Never trust a person who confuses you. Confusion kills profits. If you assign this job, give it to a non-crypto person. Someone who doesn’t understand narratives, but understands rules. The moral of the story: Keep booking profits regularly. I’ve been saying this for the last 9 years. Whether I always implemented it perfectly or not that’s a different story. But one thing I know for sure 👇 People in my group who stayed disciplined, who booked profits on time, made life-changing gains. Not because they were smarter. Not because they caught every top. But because they followed rules. The market rewards discipline, not predictions.

How the ZEC Flywheel Works: The flywheel revolves around the shielded pool— ZCASH transactions are fully encrypted (hiding sender, receiver, and amounts). Unlike transparent coins, growing this pool makes privacy stronger and more reliable. Here's the step-by-step cycle: 🧵👇

5. Network Security and Value Growth: Higher usage incentivizes miners (via fees and rewards) to secure the chain, while rising demand pushes ZEC's price up (e.g., +226% YTD in 2025). This makes shielding more economically appealing, looping back to step 1.

4. Increased Liquidity and Utility: Stronger privacy attracts more users, merchants, and DeFi integrations (e.g., private lending or payments). This boosts on-chain activity, trading volume, and liquidity on exchanges—making ZEC easier to buy/sell without slippage.

3. This means it's harder for outsiders (or chain analysts) to de-anonymize transactions—your activity blends into a larger, safer crowd. Bigger pool = better privacy.

2. Enhanced Privacy Guarantees: As more ZEC enters the shielded pool (now holding record highs, with ~25% of supply shielded), the anonymity set expands.

1. User Adoption and Shielding: Tools like the Zashi mobile wallet make it easy to buy, swap, and shield ZEC directly into the private pool. Recent updates (e.g., one-click swaps from major assets like BTC or ETH to shielded ZEC) lower barriers, encourage users for privacy.
