This is my son. He's a little over 2 years old. He's like any other kid. But what most people don't know is that he has an extremely rare syndrome (genetic recessive disorder) which one day will require a form of treatment that is very expensive in order to be able to live a somewhat normal life. Or a life at all, because in many cases it can become life threatening if untreated. How expensive? Over $800k to be exact. And no insurance will pay for it. He might require it when he's 4, 6, 8 or 10. Nobody knows. But most likely in around 2 to 8 years from now. And he might need other treatments that we don't know about yet. For those of you who want to have kids, there's genetic disorders testing available if you and your partner want to have a baby. In our case, both parents had to be carriers of the disorder in order for the kids to have a 25% chance of being affected. We never did any testing because we didn't know or expect it. My older son (9), isn't affected, though he is automatically a carrier and needs to make sure his future wife doesn't have the same disorder if they want to have kids. But guess what? I am happy I had my younger son. Because he brings so much joy into our lives on a daily basis. And I am going to do everything to make sure he gets the treatment to have a good life. No, I am not asking for donations. But many people know me as a workaholic who works 18-20 hours per day, 7 days a week and they wonder why. Yes, I have been a workaholic all my life, but this is my main reason now and why I can't stop or even slow down. This post got way too long. Just felt like sharing something tonight that I rarely talk about. Thanks for reading if you made it until here. ❤️

@arkham @CryptoGodJohn Look at the chart. His first buys were after the coin pumped hard. And after he shared it in @WealthGroup Everyone else in WG had the same opportunity to buy it at 800k and be up over 26x. Stop hating and start making money.

KOL @CryptoGodJohn bought $15.4K of $MANIFEST, and is up over 5x on the trade. MANIFEST only has one tagged KOL in their top 100 holders, and it’s @CryptoGodJohn. You can track every single person trading it on the Arkham DEX, and search for them by name.

@boldleonidas @nikitabier But only when they’re green. When red they should just say “currently unavailable”.

@nikitabier these embedded charts are actually incredible.

Probably nothing. bitcoin:native

@BryceTheTrader With you and also willing to roundtrip.

I am willing to round trip this for a chance at new highs If everything trading wise becomes tokenized, Then we can only assume privacy becomes increasingly important

@Danny_Crypton This you?

Mark my words 2.0: Two weeks ago, I predicted the $BTC hits into the $82K. And now it’s time to say it again: Everyone thinks Bitcoin is breaking out again. In reality, Bitcoin has formed a Wyckoff accumulation pattern. Traders see accumulation and think there is no danger. That’s exactly how they get trapped. Bitcoin has already completed the first major reaction after the local high near $82K. That is the Relief Rally phase. And historically, this stage is followed by downside. But the setup is not that simple: - Drop toward $60K (finished) - Secondary Test formation (completed) - Bounce back above $75K (done) - Re-sweep of the lows (next) - Cycle bottom formation (coming) That’s how accumulation works. It doesn’t reward people who chase every bounce. It rewards people who understand the structure. Most traders only think in one direction: “BTC is pumping. Bottom is in.” Wrong. Real accumulation is messy. It shakes out early buyers. It traps breakout traders. It forces people to sell the bottom twice. That’s why my main focus is still the same: A potential <$50K bottom. Not because Bitcoin is dead. Because this is where the real accumulation phase can finish. For the record, I was the only one publicly calling the exact bottom at $16,000 three years ago and the top at $126,000 in October. If you missed those calls, don’t worry. I’ll call the next one too. Turn notifications on. If you’re not following yet, you’ll understand why that was a mistake later.

Do not sell quietly into that green dawn. Stack, stack against the last roar of the bear.

@cprkrn @AnthropicAI @DarioAmodei And first thing you did was send all the BTC in a single transaction.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT OMG CLAUDE JUST CRACKED THIS SHIT, THANK YOU @AnthropicAI THANK YOU @DarioAmodei NAMING MY KID AFTER YOU 😍 blockchain.com/explorer/addre…

@ZssBecker Probably your most genuine tweet ever. Happy all went well for you 🤝

Okay. I'm ready to talk about this. It was the worst month of my life. Also ironically the greatest blessing god has ever given me. Last month I was held in the Cayman Islands facing 15 years in prison. The charge: illegal firearm importation. Here's what happened. More importantly what I learned. Short answer: no. I haven't been smuggling guns. In the States I legally carry a gun on me at almost all times for self defense. Part of this is ensuring I am trained. Hence why I routinely go to the range to shoot. When I do I pack the firearm I intend to use in in a backpack. Last month I was in a giant rush to make a private flight and didn't fully check my backpack before leaving. In it was a small firearm I missed. It was discovered when I went through immigration. At first I assumed I'd just be sent home. Then my wife did some quick research. She pointed out the minimum sentence for importing a gun is 15 years. The police who showed up confirmed it. To say I nearly pissed my pants is an understatement. This was completely my fault. I'm an idiot. The point of this post isn't to blame or complain about anything. The laws there are fair. I'm a grown man capable of checking his bag before flying. The point is: for three weeks on the island (on bail), I got to take a long hard look at my life. I've built a high net worth and a company I love, with people I love working with. I have a beautiful wife who is my best friend. I do whatever I want all day every day. My parents are alive and I get to see them almost every week. Still, despite all this, I often wake up annoyed I haven't done enough with my life. Asking myself "is this it?" In fact I'm pissed half the time, feeling I can do better. Which is ironic. I made $20,000 a year in the military. If you'd told me then I'd achieve a 9 figure net worth and all the above, I would've assumed I'd consider my life a dream. The twist truly hit me on the island as I watched everything I worked hard for in my life held at "gunpoint". Pun intended. Everything I worked so hard to get — poof. Didn't matter for shit. The way the law works there are simple : if you can't prove it was an accident, the minimum is 15 years. It became glaringly obvious. Not only was I an absolute idiot who couldn't pack his own bag. I'd also become a fool who couldn't enjoy the blessings I already had. I'd taken all the people in my life and the success totally for granted. Blind. Blind. Blind. Nothing like a 20-year potential sentence to make you realize: waking up with fun stuff to work on, then chilling on the couch reading with your wife at the end of the day — that's about as good as it gets. I should be euphoric 24/7. To go from having it all, to potentially not even having the option to piss and shit when you want — that's a wake up call if there ever was one. Luckily, the Caymans is a fair place. I was found under exceptional circumstances during my trial. AKA the judge and the courts reviewed the case and agreed it was an accident. I still love the island. It's probably my favorite place to vacation. Just check your luggage before you go. Ha. My point is this: be present. Enjoy your life. One day something could happen — even by complete accident — and yoink it all away. I have so many friends who'll read this and by all definition live a "dream life" — and yet are dissatisfied just like I was. If anything this is the default for most successful men. Not the exception. I'm writing this to help you stop. It took god slapping me across the face with my own ignorance to see it. It was painful and scary. Dark. But honestly, it was the greatest blessing I've ever received. I'm writing this from my office at home, giddy as absolute fuck about my life and everything I have the option to do today. If anything, I'm sad about how much time I wasted feeling otherwise. Don't be ignorant and stupid like me. You might not get the blessing of a 15-year prison threat in a foreign country to wake you up. Wake up. Appreciate what you have now.

@timbo_xyz Oh nice, will definitely check it out.

@thecryptonative any QR fam 🤝 pay the street vendor for fruit if you like

Bro what the fuck did I just watch

@alienops This you?

people are seriously discussing $100K Bitcoin… meanwhile, even $80K looks expensive for this piece of shit. bitcoin:native

@arkham @404eq Fun fact I bought it at 2.2m

THIS GUY HAS 9 FOLLOWERS - HE JUST MADE A MILLION DOLLARS Nobody knows who trader @404eq is - but he bought $17.5K of ASTEROID at an average of $2.5M Market Cap. Since then, he’s up over $1 Million. How bullish is he on ASTEROID?

Believe ✨

@saylor What gains?

$BTC capital gains fund $STRC credit dividends.

@avi_eisen How do you sell in 1 clip over 2 weeks?

Michael Saylor has the opportunity to do the funniest thing Sell all the Bitcoin in one clip over like two weeks, price will drop to 60k Announce it only when fully out. Price tanks to 20k Buy it all back, announce that he's got like 1.5M Bitcoin now ????? Profit

Saylor talking about possibly selling some BTC and the market doesn’t even drop. It’s now fully priced in and it tells you what kind of market we’re in.

@brian_armstrong “Non-technical teams are now shipping production code” You might want to re-think this.

This is an email I sent earlier today to all employees at Coinbase: Team, Today I’ve made the difficult decision to reduce the size of Coinbase by ~14%. I want to walk you through why we're doing this now, what it means for those affected, and how this positions us for the future. Why now Two forces are converging at the same time. We need to be front footed to respond to both. First, the market. Coinbase is well-capitalized, has diversified revenue streams, and is well-positioned to weather any storm. Crypto is also on the verge of the next wave of adoption, with stablecoins, prediction markets, tokenization, and more taking off. However, our business is still volatile from quarter to quarter. While we've managed through that cyclicality many times before and come out stronger on the other side, we’re currently in a down market and need to adjust our cost structure now so that we emerge from this period leaner, faster, and more efficient for our next phase of growth. Second, AI is changing how we work. Over the past year, I’ve watched engineers use AI to ship in days what used to take a team weeks. Non-technical teams are now shipping production code and many of our workflows are being automated. The pace of what's possible with a small, focused team has changed dramatically, and it's accelerating every day. All of this has led us to an inflection point, not just for Coinbase, but for every company. The biggest risk now is not taking action. We are adjusting early and deliberately to rebuild Coinbase to be lean, fast, and AI-native. We need to return to the speed and focus of our startup founding, with AI at our core. What this means To get there, we are not just reducing headcount and cutting costs, we’re fundamentally changing how we operate: rebuilding Coinbase as an intelligence, with humans around the edge aligning it. What does this mean in practice? - Fewer layers, faster decisions: We are flattening our org structure to 5 layers max below CEO/COO. Layers slow things down and create coordination tax. The future is small, high context teams that can move quickly. Leaders will own much more, with as many as 15+ direct reports. Fewer layers also means a leaner cost structure that is built to perform through all market cycles. - No pure managers: Every leader at Coinbase must also be a strong and active individual contributor. Managers should be like player-coaches, getting their hands dirty alongside their teams. - AI-native pods: We’ll be concentrating around AI-native talent who can manage fleets of agents to drive outsized impact. We’ll also be experimenting with reduced pod sizes, including “one person teams” with engineers, designers, and product managers all in one role. In short: AI is bringing a profound shift in how companies operate, and we’re reshaping Coinbase to lead in this new era. This is a new way of working, and we need to leverage AI across every facet of our jobs. To those who are affected I know there are real people behind these decisions — talented colleagues who have poured themselves into this company and our mission. To those of you who will be leaving: thank you. You’ve helped build Coinbase into what it is today, and I am sincerely grateful for everything you've done. All impacted team members will receive an email to their personal account in the next hour with more information, and an invitation to meet with an HRBP and a senior leader in your organization. Coinbase system access has been removed today. I know this feels sudden and harsh, but it is the only responsible choice given our duty to protect customer information. To those affected, we will be providing a comprehensive package to support you through this transition. US employees will receive a minimum of 16 weeks base pay (plus 2 weeks per year worked), their next equity vest, and 6 months of COBRA. Employees on a work visa will get extra transition support. Those outside of the US will receive similar support, based on local factors and subject to any consultation requirements. Coinbase prides itself on talent density. Our employees are among the most talented people in the world, and I have no doubt that your skills and experience will be highly sought after as you pursue your next chapters. How we move forward To the team that is staying, I know this is a difficult day. We’re saying goodbye to colleagues and friends you've been in the trenches with. But here’s what I want you to know as we move forward together: Over the past 13 years, we have weathered four crypto winters, gone public, and built the most trusted platform in our industry. We’ve made it this far by making hard decisions and by always staying focused on our mission. This time will be no different – nothing has changed about the long term outlook of our company or industry. And most importantly, our mission has never been more important for the world. Increasing economic freedom requires a new financial system, and we’re building it. The Coinbase that emerges from this will be more capable than ever to achieve our mission. Brian
