Every crypto bro cheering this bill is either on Coinbase’s payroll or can’t read. I read all 278 pages. You’re getting played. I’ve been in crypto since 2012. That’s 14 years of watching governments pretend to be confused while quietly building the cage. Trump promised to make America “the crypto capital of the world.” His party just delivered a surveillance framework that would make the CCP blush. Today I’m launching the Day2026 Bill Tracker. It does one thing: exposes how both parties collaborate to build your digital prison while you cheer. First up: The Senate Digital Asset Market Structure Act. 278 pages of “regulatory clarity” from Senator Tim Scott. Translation: 278 pages of compliance theater that kills everything crypto was built for. Here’s what your favorite influencers won’t tell you because their bags depend on you not knowing: MANDATORY TRADE SURVEILLANCE - Every exchange must implement real-time monitoring. Every. Single. Transaction. The NSA called, they want their playbook back. UNIVERSAL REGISTRATION - Exchanges, brokers, dealers, even “associated persons” must register. Anonymous participation? Dead. Satoshi’s vision? Buried. FULL DISCLOSURE TO THE STATE - Token issuers must hand over source code, transaction history, and tokenomics to regulators. Open source for thee, total transparency for me. MANDATORY GOVERNMENT CUSTODIANS - Your coins must sit with approved custodians. Self-custody for regulated activity? Effectively illegal. Not your keys, not your coins just became federal policy. DEFI IN THE CROSSHAIRS - For the first time ever, DeFi developers face registration requirements. Building permissionless systems now requires permission. Let that sink in. YOUR DATA GOES GLOBAL - Transaction records flow to the SEC, CFTC, and foreign regulators. Your wallet activity shared with central banks worldwide. Bullish, right? WHO ACTUALLY WINS: Coinbase gets a regulatory moat that buries competitors. You think Brian Armstrong is lobbying for YOUR freedom? Chainalysis gets permanent government contracts. Surveillance as a service, funded by your tax dollars. BlackRock and Wall Street get clear on-ramps while DeFi gets strangled in the crib. The SEC and CFTC get expanded empires and fresh revenue streams. You get watched. Tracked. Controlled. But hey, number go up. THE PROCESS: Senators got 48 hours to review 278 pages. Democrats asked for more time. Denied. Because nothing says “deliberative democracy” like speed-running financial surveillance. They call it regulatory clarity. I call it regulatory capture gift-wrapped for the donor class. THE REAL GAME: This is what “bipartisan consensus” means in 2026: both parties racing to build total financial surveillance while fighting about pronouns on cable news. Republicans say they oppose CBDCs. Then they vote for infrastructure that makes CBDCs inevitable. Democrats say they want consumer protection. Then they vote for bills written by the corporations they claim to regulate. Different jerseys. Same owners. THE UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH: Trump isn’t saving crypto. He’s domesticating it. The goal was never to ban Bitcoin. The goal was to make it legible, trackable, and taxable. Mission accomplished. Every laser-eyed profile pic celebrating this bill is either naive, compromised, or selling you something. WHAT I’M DOING ABOUT IT: Full analysis with threat scores, beneficiary tracking, and talking points: (day2026.com/legislation/se…) Every major bill gets this treatment. PATRIOT Act. TARP. CARES Act. REAL ID. GENIUS Act. Executive orders. All of it. Exposed. THE ANNOUNCEMENT: Neither party will protect your financial freedom. Neither party actually opposes CBDCs. Neither party will stop the technocratic merger of corporate and state power. That’s why I’m exploring a run for US Senate in New Hampshire. Not to join the club. To burn down the velvet rope. The algorithm buries truth. Make it work for us.

A core AI agent product management principle is just figuring out what a very smart person -without any initial context whatsoever- would need to perform the task successfully. The whole game is just doing everything possible to get just the right information into the context window to ensure that the agent gets access to the most relevant data and tools to execute. Every time we’re trying to figure out why something works or doesn’t work about an agent, usually it just boils down to the fact that a human would need totally different or meaningfully more context to execute the same action. Usually then the problem lies somewhere in the agent’s use of tools (like search), or not giving the agent enough data to work with, or sometimes giving it too much, or not explaining the task or objective properly, and so on. The great thing is that every one of these issues is tractable. The models will just keep getting better at every one of these issues. And you can always throw more compute at the problem in whatever form that is (more reasoning, more planning, more data retrieved, etc.) - it’s just a matter of cost/speed tradeoffs. Very interesting new space to be building for.

@jackbutcher young degens are using crypto for everything, giving “blank stares” when asked how blockchains actually work

@elizlaraki Soooo Apple Maps?

15 years ago, I helped design Google Maps. I still use it everyday. Last week, the team dramatically changed the map’s visual design. I don’t love it. It feels colder, less accurate and less human. But more importantly, they missed a key opportunity to simplify and scale. ––– Google Maps has started to widely roll out updated map colors: - All roads are now gray - Water changed from blue to teal - Parks and open spaces are now mint green It seems the goal was to improve usability and make the maps more readable. Admittedly, I do think major roads, traffic, and trails stand out more now. But the colors of water and parks/open spaces blend together. And to me, the palette feels colder and more computer generated. But color choices aside… If the goal was better usability, the team missed a big opportunity: Google Maps should have cleaned up the crud overlaying the map. ––– So much stuff has accumulated on top of the map. Currently there are ~11 different elements obscuring it: - Search box - 8 pills overlayed in 4 rows - A peeking card for “latest in the area” - A bottom nav bar (Personally, I would LOVE to see usage metrics for all these overlays.) The map should be sacred real estate. Only things that are highly useful to many people should obscure it. There should be a very limited number of features that can cover the map view. And there are multiple ways to add new features without overlaying them directly on the map. ––– Here’s how it could look: - Keep the search box - Keep the bottom bar - Remove everything else from the map - Roll the most used features into the bottom bar - Bury the less used features elsewhere in the app I assume the search box and directions are top priority and should remain prominent. My Location and map layers (satellite, traffic, etc.) could move to the bottom bar. The explore overlays (restaurants, gas, etc.) could live in the bottom bar in “Explore” and open as cards. The additional space in the bottom bar could be used for Saved, as a “More” option, or could be removed entirely. There are many variations of how features could be arranged. But the key points are: - Dramatically simplify - Strongly prioritize map visibility - Bury legacy and low use features ––– It’s normal for products to accumulate features over time. But it’s also super important to stay vigilant and continually clean them up. In many ways, it’s interesting to see history repeating itself. In 2007, I was 1 of 2 designers on Google Maps. At that time, Maps had already become a cluttered mess. We were wedging new features into any space we could find in the UI. The user experience was suffering and the product was growing increasingly complicated. We had to rethink the app to be simple and scale for the future. It seems like it’s time for Google Maps to do this again… ––– For more on design + tips for early stage founders, follow me on X: @elizlaraki

It's @moonbirds Mythic minting time! NGL kinda love them all...! 😅

@CryptoGirlNova Easy decisions hard life. Hard decisions easy life. Also learn to enjoy the grind. Or find something you enjoy that is a grind for everyone else.

Gm fam. The eternal dilemma: • Grind 5-10 years when you are young and have the best life after? • Enjoy life when you are young and grind after? Keep in mind that your young years are also the best times of your life. Not as easy as it sounds. What do you choose?

@kumosoukai Emperor birbs 🙌

Sorry but.. MY BIRD IS THE BEST Hulk vibe 💪🏽

@EBMDCrypto @moonbirds @jackbutcher Great birb 🦉

Nope this bird I picked up is the best! ..and it is FOR SALE :) Ideal buyer is a monochrome artist who would be a solid addition to @moonbirds @jackbutcher interested? One of only 18 fully monochrome birds! (More rare 'trait' than golden or red skelly, 25 each)

@CryptoGirlNova My read: @eth_ben has $7mill in ETH alongside his 97% of $PSYOP That's enough ETH to keep pumping $PSYOP for a while by immediately buying from any sellers If he can keep doing that until some new money is fooled and starts to FOMO in, that's when he'll start dumping

Regarding my latest post and the whole $PSYOP situation. After seeing the amount of people coming out in support and defence of $BEN and treating him like a god I can honestly say I know most of these people have never earned anything with crypto. Maybe it's because I have a background in mathematics or maybe it's just that the average investor is "not that smart?" (trying to phrase it as nicely as I can). Sometimes I wonder if it even makes sense to explain it. Can we even blame them? If you don't have the financial literacy it's tough or maybe even wrong to try and make someone understand who can't in the first place. Ironically it's maybe also what some of us need. Most of crypto is a pvp market and if these people wouldn't be there, there wouldn't be a profitable market for us either. Is there a purpose for me to fud on a legit goldmine that's going to make people money? Of course not. If most of you would have a decent shot at this token I would be the first to celebrate, applaud and encourage your chance. But basic mathematics shows 90% of you are not in profit and ever will. 7 million $ of your money went to Ben and Ben alone. Because 97% of it is in the hands of one single individual. An individual that's called Ben and only distributed 3% of the supply for 7 million dollars. Yes you all paid 7 million dollars for 3 % of the tokens lol! Because of the amount of supply he holds the market cap and price is 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 up. In reality 90% (probably higher) of you won't be able to cash out any of your profits at all. It will only take a really small amount of sells (only the first 5 out of every 100) to reveal the real price. Because price is currently 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 pumped. But yeah bullish on Ben with his 7 million dollars and his greed to only pay out 3% of the token for this. No need for any trust in locked contracts either. Let's just buy a million dollar house next time from an owner and handshake on it. No need to sign anything bro. I'll trust you with my million and the house that's still on your name. Again there really is nothing for me to gain here. I would actually boost my following and engagement if I came out in support for it due to the cult community behind PSYOP. But maybe it's not worth it at all because you can't teach what can't be taught. As such I leave the people and their "godly coin" alone. Just try to remember the times in the market when you thought you made a lot of money but actually didn't make anything in the end. With an 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 pumped price where most people will not be able to get their hands on their money this situation is vaguely similar. We will talk in a few months. Yours sincerely, A genuine concerned Nova ❤️

@CryptoGirlNova This guy definitely got into a hot tub after a night of heavy drinking at a ski resort 20 years in the future

I dont believe in humble bragging. I believe in REAL bragging. Im richer and taller and more important than you. I have more kids and my kids are better than yours. Do it right, commit yourself. Hard work and dedication. Its the only way to win.

@garyvee @veefriends So so pumped about this 😁😁😁

Want me to pay for Twitter Blue @elonmusk ? Let me see tweets in chronological order and not check in hours apart and see the same tweets

Mum, dad, this robot will take care of you while the one at the bar pours me a drink 🤖👴👵🍸 firstpost.com/world/openai-b…

@xerocooleth @eth_ben He’ll pump the price till some new money starts to FOMO in then start dumping. So I’d be selling in to the early spikes and only holding a small moonbag if I was a holder 🤷‍♂️
