Every Stacks ($STX) transaction is immortalized on Bitcoin. @Stacks @muneeb

I wonder if there are any Doctors named Claude with, "Claude.md" on their door.

Who’s still here in stacks?

Over $160,000,000 USD worth of tokens have moved through the @bitflow concentrated liquidity engine, just 2 weeks since launch Read that again.

Can't wait to try this. @Google is bringing the 🔥 Great updates all round

The subtle distinctions we use to determine connection and authenticity will increasingly become the identifiers most impactful by those that treasure the value of being human. Just saying.

This.

@DanHennessy Hire when there's blood in the streets

This showcases the power of well-designed consensus for high-level economic activities of Bitcoin: Proof of Transfer PoX Tell me one single protocol that rewards native BTC to its network users and I will delete this app 4,000+ BTC are earned by $STX network participant

30x more DeFi capacity on @Stacks means 30x more reason to build BTCFi here Q2 is going to be loud 🍊

Yesterday (3.17), the SEC and CFTC jointly issued the official Token Taxonomy for crypto assets. The first official answer to the decade-long debate: "Are cryptos securities?" SEC Chair Paul Atkins announced it directly at the DC Blockchain Summit. They established 5 categories: 1. Digital Commodities 2. Digital Collectibles 3. Digital Tools 4. Payment Stablecoins 5. Digital Securities → Categories 1–4 are NOT securities. Only #5 falls under SEC jurisdiction. Atkins' statement: "Most crypto assets are not themselves securities." A complete reversal from the Gensler era. Key points from the 68-page joint guidance: • Protocol mining = not a security • Protocol staking = not a security • Airdrops = not a security • Wrapping = not a security • Investment contracts can be "terminated" Once the issuer completes the promised essential managerial efforts, the token is no longer subject to securities laws. Timeline: • March 3 – SEC submitted draft to OIRA (White House Office of Regulatory Affairs) • March 11 – SEC-CFTC MOU signed • March 17 – 68-page joint interpretive guidance officially released From OIRA submission to final release: just 14 days. Additionally, Atkins announced that the "Regulation Crypto Assets" rule proposal is expected in 1–2 weeks. Over 400 pages, including Startup Exemption (4-year $5M exemption), Fundraising Exemption (annual $75M exemption), and Investment Contract Safe Harbor (criteria to exit securities status). The CLARITY Act (market structure bill) is still pending Senate passage, but this guidance is an example of regulators moving first before legislation. Polymarket odds for signature in 2026: 72%. What does this mean for Stacks (STX)? @Stacks is one of the projects in the most favorable position under this taxonomy—not just speculation, but because of the path it has already walked. STX regulatory history: • July 2019 – First-ever SEC Reg A+ approved token sale in crypto history • January 2021 – Stacks 2.0 mainnet launch, declared decentralization achieved • April 2021 – Hiro Systems submitted Exit Filing to SEC • July 2024 – SEC closed its 3-year Stacks investigation with no action The only token that "started as a security and graduated to decentralization." The new guidance explicitly stating that "investment contracts can be terminated" is essentially codifying into official law the exact path Stacks demonstrated from 2019–2021. STX has already met these conditions, and the SEC even confirmed it directly (no-action closure). "Protocol staking is not a security" also applies directly. Stacks' Stacking locks STX to earn BTC rewards. Current sBTC TVL over $545M, Dual Stacking over $100M in operation. This activity is officially outside securities law. Summary: ✅ SEC/CFTC joint token taxonomy officially released ✅ Most cryptos are not securities ✅ Staking, mining, airdrops explicitly exempt ✅ Investment contract termination officially recognized ✅ STX is the only precedent that has already completed the "security to non-security" transition ✅ Regulation Crypto Assets rule proposal expected in 1–2 weeks

@chainlink The future of crypto in one tap 🙂‍↕️

Seeing @louiseivan fawn over Punch the monkey is my CT breath of fresh air.

@anammostarac @DailyMail @grok Was there a few weeks ago, even my driver warned me about certain places. Sad, such a beautiful city.

@DailyMail Which global city reports the sharpest increase in machete-related violence @grok

Why an Australian city has been ranked world's best trib.al/jeAO7SJ

Anon, We distributed 218,858 STX to pool participants in Cycle 129 of @Stacks. Join the pool before the next cycle 👀

Stacks Just Leveled Up… Here’s What Happened. @stacks @StacksDevs | @DeorganizedBTC Stacks just got even faster 🏃 The network just received its 3.3.0.0.6 upgrade to support faster and more reliable transactions for everyone: Retail, institutional, and even AI BTC agents.

Credit where credit is due, looks like an interesting repo :) github.com/viperrcrypto/S…

still one of the greatest videos to hit the internet

Round and round we go.

@Aldigity @drgurner I was actually thinking about this also, I disagree with @drgurner on this one. Self deprecation can also clear the air of assumed sensitivity. Perhaps one of the nuances is differentiating between making light of one's situation and making light of one's self/needs/etc

I really like @drgurner's stuff, but there is nothing I disagree with her more on than the value of honest and calibrated self-deprecation. If you are a leader, it gives those around you permission to be open and vulnerable. Real conversations that get to the heart of problems are easier. The alternative is a brittle facade of perfection that shatters at the first sign of failure. The culture responds like a totalitarian state to a comedian handing out blank pamphlets in the town square.
