Let’s continue building together ♾️

The market is getting better at punishing assets that only survive on attention. Memes, “utility” coins, air tokens, all eventually face the same question: What remains when liquidity gets smarter? That’s why voices like @adam3us continue to matter in this cycle

This is exactly why AI should sharpen the founder’s voice, not replace it. The best emails still sound like a real person with a real problem

@eeelistar Keep elevating Elisa

Gm No complaints this week, only elevation

@shivst3r The question “would I follow my own account?” is brutal, but necessary. Most creators avoid it because they already know the answer

Most creators on CT think they're further ahead than they actually are because nobody around them is being honest with them. Your fake 'mates' aren't going to tell you your content is shit, they'll just like it and move on. So you have to be that person for yourself. Sit down every few months, go through your own stuff, and ask yourself honestly if you'd follow your own account. The best creators I know are the hardest on themselves.

@Cryptic_Web3 @elliemdy2 More than ready ♾️

GM 🫶 Are you ready for a new week?

@elonmusk Cursor data in supplementary training is the interesting part. Do you think this makes Grok meaningfully better for real developer workflows?

Grok foundation model V9-Medium (1.5T) has finished training. Evals look good. A lot of Cursor data was added in supplementary training and there is more to come. Fine-tuning is underway and reinforcement learning begins in a few days. 2 to 3 weeks to public release. This will be a major improvement over the 0.5T v8-small that currently serves all Grok production traffic, especially for difficult coding tasks.

@0xxNathan Gm , big weeks ahead

GM to those still here. big week ahead...

@0xAbhiP GM. New week, clean slate, same mission. Outwork the noise

gm new week, new opportunity to outwork everyone else

@CryptonautX_ Liquidity is becoming the real market narrative

@usithetalk Exactly crypto is increasingly just another high-beta macro asset now, and liquidity/risk conditions still drive the moves more than narratives in the short term.

Japan’s stock market just printed a fresh all time high after a +3.5% move in a single session, driven by optimism around a potential US-Iran peace deal. One headline changes the entire global risk equation. Lower geopolitical pressure → lower oil fears Lower oil fears → softer inflation expectations Softer inflation expectations → better liquidity conditions That is why equities are ripping. And this is exactly what many crypto participants still fail to understand: Crypto does not trade in isolation anymore. It trades inside the global macro machine. Rates, energy markets, bond yields, geopolitical stability, liquidity flows. This cycle is less about memes and more about capital conditions. When the world starts pricing stability again, risk assets move first. Crypto usually follows faster than most expect.

Nice drop. I might need a few of these myself. 👀♾️

Gm, happy weekend 0 fees, ♾️ opportunities #mexc

Markets don’t usually collapse because of volatility. They collapse because participants confuse leverage with conviction. Seeing a $77M liquidation is another reminder that in crypto, size without discipline becomes exit liquidity very fast. The market has matured. Infrastructure improved. Institutional participation increased. But human behavior remains exactly the same. Greed still expands during green candles. Risk management still disappears near local tops. And excessive leverage still gets punished in hours. The biggest edge in this industry is not predicting every move. It’s surviving long enough to compound through multiple cycles

Europe’s next crypto stress test will not only be about price. It will be about access, portability and resilience. In my op-ed for Funds Europe, I explain why asset managers need stronger governance around platform exposure, concentration risk, DORA readiness and exit planning.

@LLuciano_BTC GM. Comfort is good for recovery, but not for growth. The grind continues

GM! Comfort is a beautiful place to rest. But absolutely nothing grows there. Let's continue grinding.

@shivst3r That stage is real. You are not broke anymore, but you are not free either. What do you think keeps people sharp there?

Everyone talks about the struggle of being broke. Very few talk about the weird middle ground where you've made enough not to need a job but not enough to stop thinking about money. It's probably one of the most dangerous places to be in crypto. You lose the hunger that got you there because the pressure is gone, but you haven't actually made it yet, and you start taking it easy without even realising it. Don't be that guy who sits in that zone doing nothing because they're too comfortable to grind but also too scared to take another real shot.

@elonmusk @SpaceX Some wins are bigger than one company. This one feels like progress for everyone watching what engineering can become.

Congratulations @SpaceX team on an epic first Starship V3 launch & landing! You scored a goal for humanity.

Gm! We spend so much time chasing more in this industry. More capital, more markets, more products, more attention, more speed. But at some point, the real win is knowing what to simplify. A clear mind, a small trusted circle, and meaningful work are still one of the most underrated forms of wealth.

Bitcoin is moving from market narrative to national strategy. The advancement of the ARMA Act is not just another crypto headline. It is a signal that the conversation around Bitcoin is becoming more institutional, more sovereign, and more structural. For years, Bitcoin was described as digital gold. Now policymakers are beginning to treat it like a strategic reserve asset. That shift matters. If the United States codifies a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve into law, it would move Bitcoin beyond short term political cycles and into long term national balance sheet strategy. The details matter: budget neutral acquisition, Treasury level oversight, long term reserve holding, and a framework that separates Bitcoin from the broader digital asset stockpile. This is the important part. Markets can debate price targets. But reserve assets are not built around daily candles. They are built around scarcity, security, liquidity, and long term strategic relevance. Bitcoin already has the first three. The fourth is now being tested at the sovereign level. If this bill progresses, the impact will not only be about potential buying demand. It will be about legitimacy. Institutional investors watch what governments formalize. Other countries watch what the United States prioritizes. Markets watch what becomes policy. A Strategic Bitcoin Reserve would strengthen the argument that Bitcoin is not simply a speculative asset, but a reserve grade digital commodity for the next financial era. For exchanges, this creates a clear responsibility. As demand becomes more institutional, market infrastructure must become deeper, faster, more transparent, and more reliable. At @MEXC , we see this as part of a larger evolution: Bitcoin is becoming macro infrastructure. Crypto markets are becoming more regulated and mature. Users are demanding better access, better liquidity and stronger execution. The next phase of Bitcoin adoption will not be driven only by hype. It will be driven by policy, liquidity, custody, compliance, and global competition for scarce digital assets. That is why this moment matters. Bitcoin started as an alternative to the system. Now the system is learning how to hold it.
