🚨 "People recognize [bitcoin] is the CIA. I want to know where the databases are, where the servers are, physically.” - Prof Jiang This is the opinion of so many midwits. It's also the reason even some gold bugs cannot comprehend bitcoin to this day, and why midwits believe in centralized scam sh*tcoins. They don't understand decentralization.

The people of Hungary have taken back their country! A resounding rejection of entrenched corruption and foreign interference. 🇭🇺 🇪🇺

Iran has delivered its "10-point" response to the US' "15-point peace plan." 1. Guarantee that Iran will not be attacked again 2. Permanent end to the war, not just a ceasefire 3. End to Israeli strikes in Lebanon 4. Lifting of all US sanctions on Iran 5. End to all regional fighting against Iranian allies 6. In return, Iran would open the Strait of Hormuz 7. Iran would impose a Hormuz fee of $2 million per ship 8. Iran would split these fees with Oman 9. Iran to provide rules for safe passage through Hormuz 10. Iran to use Hormuz fees for reconstruction instead of reparations Trump's "deadline" for a peace deal with Iran is 25 hours away. The market no longer cares.

🔥 HUGE: Chainlink and 24 major financial institutions unveiled a unified standard for asset servicing. Powered by AI and blockchains, it targets $58B+ in annual post-trade inefficiencies.

I wouldn’t touch $TAO with a 10 foot pole. Don’t overcomplicate things, buy $LINK and sit on your hands.

Exclusive: Who is "Professor" Jiang? Who does he work for?

BREAKING: Trump post about considering winding down military efforts in the Middle East

Most people's mental model of Chainlink $LINK is completely wrong Here's why👇 People often think of oracles as simple middleware bolted to the side of a blockchain, simply injecting price data In their mind, Chainlink is "just an oracle" so who cares right? A more complete mental model is that Chainlink is the global orchestration layer that sits above and across all blockchains and external systems A unified platform that enables organizations to create advanced business workflows spanning any number of blockchains, legacy systems, and oracle services, all powered by a decentralized runtime environment This matters now more than ever because we are entering a Cambrian explosion of blockchains of all kinds (public & private, L1 & L2, DeFi & TradFi, EVM & non-EVM) The cost and friction of launching a new blockchain network has never been lower And what we have seen historically is that in order for a blockchain to be successful, it needs critical oracle services: - Data oracles: DeFi needs market data to secure lending and derivatives, while TradFi needs NAV data for tokenized funds and corporate actions data for tokenized equities. Proof of Reserve provides public visibility into the reserves backing tokenized assets - Cross-chain oracles: Digital assets in both DeFi and TradFi need to be securely transferable across any public or private blockchain to access a greater pool of buyers, minimizing liquidity fragmentation and enabling advanced settlement workflows - Compliance oracles: Regulated tokenized assets need to comply with various regulations and internal business logic rules around identity verification and risk management to become adopted by institutions - Privacy oracles: Sensitive information needs to be made accessible to blockchain apps without revealing the underlying data, while private chains need to connect to public chains while only selectively revealing what is needed to complete transactions - Legacy-system oracles: Institutions want to access public and private blockchains using their existing infrastructure and messaging standards (Swift, FIX, DTCC) through a single integration gateway rather than manually integrating with thousands of chains individually - Orchestration oracles: Institutions need to be able to coordinate complex business workflows that span multiple blockchains, legacy systems, and oracle services through a simple API gateway Chainlink is the only unified platform that provides all of these solutions in a single offering, minimizing trust-assumptions and eliminating the complexity of using a patchwork of service providers This is how institutions adopt blockchains, not by betting on specific chains, but integrating with a unified platform that provides them access to any public or private chain While blockchains fiercely compete amongst each other to become the transactional database layer, Chainlink wins regardless of which chains are used For Chainlink, every new blockchain introduced to market is all the more justification for why organizations need a global orchestration layer to manage the complexity Financial market infrastructures like Swift, DTCC, and Euroclear understand this, which is why they have adopted Chainlink alongside J.P. Morgan, Mastercard, Central Bank of Brazil, UBS, SBI, Fidelity International, ANZ, and many others In addition to powering the DeFi economy (70%+ marketshare globally, 80%+ on Ethereum, and 90%+ on L2s), Chainlink directly monetizes the integration and deployment of its services on blockchains via the Scale program and enterprise deals Onchain revenue from the usage of Chainlink services, as well as offchain revenue from Scale and enterprise deals, directly fuel $LINK token buybacks which grow the Chainlink Reserve Chainlink services have already enabled $28+ trillion in transaction value across 77+ blockchain networks via 2,000+ oracle networks used by 500+ applications, with more public and private blockchains regularly integrated all the time Today, developers build on blockchains and plug into Chainlink In the future, developers will build on Chainlink and plug into blockchains The result is straight forward: More blockchains ↓ More Chainlink adoption ↓ More onchain & offchain revenue ↓ More $LINK token buybacks ↓ Chainlink's dominance compounds

By owning $XRP, you are funding a company that has openly stated it will prioritize its equity shareholders over you Ripple wrote the playbook on this. Let me walk you through how it works👇 When a company sells both tokens and equity to investors, it creates two competing stakeholder groups whose economic interests may not, and often do not, align For example, when there’s excess revenue or profits, where does that value ultimately go: to equity holders via buybacks/dividends, to token holders via buybacks/staking rewards, or some split between the two? There is a fixed pot of revenue to distribute, and equity investors often have superior, clearer economic rights to that revenue that can be legally enforced, while token investors often do not Look at Circle’s recent acquisition of Interop Labs (Axelar team), Coinbase’s acquisition of Tensor, PumpFun’s acquisition of Padre, Ripple vs XRP. etc These are all situations in which equity holders benefited at the expense of, or isolation from, token holders In Ripple’s case, they have spent the past decade+ systematically selling XRP to retail while spinning a story of inevitable institutional adoption In reality, Ripple uses the proceeds of XRP sales to acquire real companies and fund Ripple Labs stock buybacks, to the sole benefit of Ripple Labs shareholders No value is created for the XRP token, even Ripple admitted under oath in court filings that the bridge currency use case of XRP is demand neutral and does not impact price Ripple Labs socializes its costs to XRP holders to fund product launches and corporate acquisitions, then privatizes the value for its own shareholders XRPL is an obsolete ghost chain that's not even in the top 40 chains by usage. It has less than 1% marketshare in RWAs and less than 0.01% in stablecoins. There is no metric the chain leads in Ripple themselves issued 90% of RLUSD on Ethereum and have now expanded it to even more chains outside of XRPL including BNY Mellon's private EVM chain and L2s The list goes on By owning XRP, you do not have complete exposure to the success of the ecosystem Ripple is building, because you do not own the equity, you own some undefined percentage of the success This issue doesn’t exist for Chainlink, because there are no equity investors. There is only the $LINK token to accrue value from the network’s growth. Even CLL employees receive long-term incentives rewards in LINK, not equity Unfortunately, depending on how you want to put it, there is no mass social media misinformation campaign driving retail towards Chainlink like we see with XRP However, Chainlink‘s clear dominance in DeFi (70%+ marketshare w/ $60B in DeFi TVL secured) and its tangible verifiable institutional adoption by the largest institutions in the world (Swift, DTCC, Euroclear, SBI, UBS, JP Morgan, Fidelity, ANZ, etc) will inevitably become too impossible to ignore While the XRP army comes up with bizarre conspiracy theories about why institutions don’t talk about XRP, enterprises adopting Chainlink have no issue publicly talking about their use of Chainlink And before you say Chainlink and Ripple/XRP are not competitors bc they do different things, I would agree from tech perspective, Chainlink actually offers useful products for banks and isn’t a retail grift Chainlink is the only unified platform that provides the critical data, interoperability, compliance, privacy, and orchestration standards that financial institutions need for advanced tokenization use cases None of these institutional use cases Chainlink powers have ever required a “bridge currency”, that is a fantasy narrative dreamt up by retail This has been proven time and time again The reality is that $LINK is the best index bet on the institutional adoption of blockchain, while $XRP is a bank themed memecoin that Ripple sells to retail to fund corporate acquisitions and stock buybacks Documented.📝

⚡️This is the prelude to a real strike. The war machine is already in motion. The surface narrative is delay. The underlying system is locked. This is what it looks like when the decision has been made in practice but not yet in word. The forces are shaping the theater for execution certainty. The assets are forward. The comms are integrated. The strike packages are built. The legal prep is done. No one is calling it a go, but everything has already been greenlit behind the curtain. The delay is not hesitation. It is timing optimization. They are waiting for the ignition pretext to self-manifest so the strike can be framed as reaction, not initiation. They are waiting for one drone, one rocket, one centrifuge threshold, one proxy mistake. And they will not stop with one target. They are mapping a multi-day degradation chain. Command nodes. Launch silos. Enrichment hubs. Naval clusters. IRGC C3I loops. This is infrastructure kill logic with narrative containment overlays.

Do not join or remain in the United States Military. Trump has betrayed America and expects you to die for Israel. There is no honor in being led by dishonorable men to your death.

ah yes, rebuilding the Third Temple, the classic antisemitic conspiracy that has been shared on crypto-nazi 4chan for years, and totally not something that the current U.S. Secretary of War has explicitly called for
