BREAKING: CLARITY ACT COMPROMISE REACHED Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD) released the final language for Section 404 of the CLARITY Act (the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act) after months of closed-door negotiations involving the White House, crypto firms, and banks. Their joint statement explicitly says they “respectfully agree to disagree” with the banking industry’s continued pushback, signaling they consider the deal done and are ready to move the broader bill forward. This is a genuine bipartisan compromise, though an imperfect one that neither the crypto industry nor the banking lobby got 100% of what they wanted.

The lie: this cycle is broken. The truth: the United States is restructuring the entire global financial system on crypto rails right in front of you, and you're about to give up because it's taking longer than you wanted it to.

Here we go. WSJ reporting Gamestop $GME has built a ~ 5% stake in eBay and is offering $125 a share in cash and stock. (20% premium to Friday close price). @ryancohen thinks Ebay can become a much larger competitor to Amazon. Cheering for Ryan and Gamestop here.

@dotkrueger @MarylandHODL21 +1

Who is in for Bitcoin Alpha October 15? I want to redo exactly what we managed last year. Including the shark.

RT @sazmining: In a world of pessimism, consciously choose to build a better world. That's the #Bitcoin mindset.

Michael Saylor’s Keynote on Digital Credit at the Bitcoin Treasuries Conference is about to hit one million views! Please share! Thank you for the support!

@foxenflask I too feel like they are going to still go after Venmo / $PYPL too and leverage the $EBAY acquisition to make it happen

I don’t think I’ve ever been more bullish on Bitcoin over the next 12 months.

Saylor: "There's gonna be an explosion in prosperity because a billion robots will do all the work and a billion cars will drive themself. Then I think you'll see a socialist wave of entitlements. Universal healthcare, universal basic income, universal housing, universal entitlements." "People worry that there won't be enough. That's not the problem. There'll be too much. Too much music, too much entertainment, too much food, too much alcohol, too much sugar, too much stimulation. Different civilizations will be distinguished by how they react to it."

💯 completely agree on quality of conversations.

The final rewards text in the CLARITY Act is now public. We’ve been clear throughout this process: much of this debate was based on imagined risks, not real evidence, nor was it based on a real understanding of how crypto actually works. Nevertheless, the crypto industry showed

BREAKING: WHITE HOUSE REPORTER JUST SAID #BITCOIN AND BIG BANKS HAVE OFFICIALLY STRUCK A COMPROMISE ON CLARITY ACT MARKET STRUCTURE IS CLEARED FOR MARKUP IT'S HAPPENING 🚀

Hal Finney basically described the STRC endgame in 2010. Bitcoin becomes high-powered money. Financial institutions issue credit and digital cash on top of it. Bitcoin settles the base layer. The market prices different issuers by reserve quality, risk, and redemption confidence. That is not a betrayal of Bitcoin. That is Bitcoin eating banking from underneath.

The biggest Strategy in the world.

@BTCYN 95% my experience this year as well but I still enjoy my cocktails. Thankful to be here. Thankful to be home. Magic is what you make of it.

Sober in Vegas. Hydrated & caffeinated. Bitcoin Conference in a bear market. Great food tbh. Magic in hallways seeing the real ones. Dinner with customers, connecting with friends. Supporting partners. An amazing experience. What you make of it. Headed home grateful & happy.

I think the best part of the @TheBitcoinConf for me was when I met this guy who was only there because of a rent a human. Some Claude Bot hired him to walk around the conf with meta glasses and film everything for him for “research”. Guy knew nothing about Bitcoin. Was just

I started by trying to understand markets. Thirty years later I've ended up somewhere closer to life, the universe and everything. The same four rules keep showing up... Along the way I've written three frameworks that have shaped how a lot of people see the world. The Everything Code is what I found when I went looking for what actually drives markets. A debt rollover cycle, managed by liquidity, debasing the currency at roughly 8% a year. That debasement is monetary entropy. Capital routes around it, into whatever can compound faster than the entropy degrades it. Technology and crypto sit at the top of that flow because they are the intelligence layer of the economy. Markets are monetary energy routing toward the highest output of intelligence. The only assets that outperform debasement over extended periods are tech and crypto. The Exponential Age is the realisation that technology has become the substrate. Compute, networks, energy and intelligence are compounding faster than any institution we built was designed to handle, and the gap between the two is the defining tension of our time. The Economic Singularity is where this is heading. Somewhere in the next decade the curve of intelligence per unit of energy turns fully exponential, and the rules every economy we know was built on stop applying. For a long time I thought of these as three separate ideas. Looking at them now, they are three views of the same thing at different altitudes. And underneath all three, the same four rules keep showing up. Efficiency of Intelligence - The universe rewards whatever does more with less. Every system that survives is better at turning energy into information than the system it replaced. There has never been an exception. Compression - Intelligence is the act of representing a vast reality in a much smaller form without losing what matters. Brains do it. Theories do it. Prices do it. AI does it. They are not analogous. They are the same operation. Coherence - Complex systems hold together because their parts synchronise faster than the noise around them. Markets, brains, civilisations, ecosystems. When the synchronisation fails, what looks like collapse is desynchronisation made visible. Selection - Patterns that copy themselves faster than their rivals dominate the medium they live in. Genes did this in biology. Ideas do it in culture. Memecoins do it in markets. Truth is not part of the selection criteria. Replication is. It always has been. What the four rules produce, when they operate together, is networks. The same topology shows up everywhere. The cosmic web. The human brain. Mycelium beneath a forest. The internet. Financial markets. Blockchains. Across fourteen orders of magnitude, the universe keeps building the same shape. That shape is what the four laws look like when you can see them. The Everything Code is what these four rules look like in markets. The Exponential Age is what they look like running through technology. The Economic Singularity is where they are taking us. Three angles, one picture. Underneath all of it, energy is the constant. Consciousness is the substrate. The four rules are the dynamics through which one becomes the other. All of this is one corner of what I call The Universal Code. The same four rules apply to everything else and I mean EVERYTHING... they are universal in the true sense of the word.

"Now We Are Free" is the iconic closing theme from the 2000 film Gladiator, composed by Hans Zimmer and Klaus Badelt with vocals by Lisa Gerrard. The lyrics are a made-up, emotional "language of the heart" created by Gerrard, rather than a specific language, designed to evoke
