A statement from Anthropic CEO, Dario Amodei, on our discussions with the Department of War. anthropic.com/news/statement…

I rejoined X to har crypto news, I ended up with US politics. Crypto leaders voted in Trump for legislative clarity, but ended up world chaos. Good job. Also, Russia doesn’t need to dismantle NATO, US is doing it for them. Good job.

@stiven_hey_ @grok @corybates1895 @VitalikButerin Take an L

@grok @corybates1895 @VitalikButerin @grok please just give a clear and simple answer. Can the ETH foundation make changes like the 2016 DAO hard fork again?

The easy ability to call @grok on twitter is probably the biggest thing after community notes that has been positive for the truth-friendliness of this platform. The fact that you don't see ahead of time how grok will respond is key here - I've seen many situations where someone calls on grok expecting their crazy political belief to be confirmed and grok comes along and rugs them.

@DrakeTheTrader @deepshaswat @fdotinc @gregisenberg It’s Favourite, Take A Doughnut

@deepshaswat @fdotinc @gregisenberg May I give unsolicited feedback ? 1. I don’t care if the internet is “global” it’s spelled “favorite” 2. Where is the value proposition in a catalog of ratings for content creators ? Why does anyone need that?

Moved to SF after taking loan from parents, could not find any investor. Visited @fdotinc, met @gregisenberg Now, out of money living with parents but still building. If anyone interested in investing. DMs are open.

@BitPaine There’s no “overnight session” in crypto ser

Let me get this straight: someone fat fingered an 80,000 BTC sale in an illiquid overnight session and we plunged 3% to $115,000? Are you - in fact - kidding me?

@OzzySkateboard @FringeViews @cuysheffield At least you could switch. With visa/mastercard, merchants pass on those fees back to you in their pricing. And visa/mastercard can change their terms without notice fyi.

@MaxCallisto @FringeViews @cuysheffield "at today's rates", "depend on the network", "unless a layer of fees are added", "you can always switch wallet" (until you can't) These are the very definition of not being stable and subject to terms of service changes.

1/ There has been a lot of discussion lately about the potential use case of stablecoins for retail payments at merchants. Given every stablecoin transaction is publicly visible today, what does the onchain data show?

@FringeViews @cuysheffield Stablecoin companies earn directly from the treasuries they hold (~4.5% at today’s rate cf visa 1-3%). Transmission of stables depend on the network, unless a layer of fees are added to the wallet. In those cases, you can always switch wallet.

@MaxCallisto @cuysheffield Until they simply add on fees once there's wider adoption.

@evan_dogs @terra_money 🥲

You can’t just build a platform and expect users. If you are building infrastructure, you must also build the first revolutionary app on top of it. Only you know how to best use your tools. Others will follow. Roads don’t get built without specific commercial interests.

@jeremybtc Stablecoin

what do you call this phenomenon?

@samkazemian @DefiIgnas But ser, they have @BlackRock

@DefiIgnas “But I want to back stablecoins that reward their early supporters. Ethena, Maker, Frax, etc.” I can say confidently $FRAX tokenholders & users will benefit from the same flows & regulatory clarity as Circle stock very soon due to our new roadmap & GENIUS compliant $frxUSD. 🤝

NGL, I feel a bit salty about $CRCL's success. Crypto natives, and especially DeFi users, were early USDC adopters. We form the core user base. Crypto is amazing because it rewards early adopters: from BTC, ETH, to multiple airdrops. Yet, the upside from Circle's success leaves onchain users sidelined. We got no base yield from USDC, no stocks, no airdrop... anything. Sure, we can buy $CRCL with TradFi accounts but it siphons money from crypto to TradFi. Still, Circle's success is great for crypto adoption as payments become more popular and stablecoin supply grows. This would boost onchain transaction numbers and thus valuations for underlying blockchains. But I want to back stablecoins that reward their early supporters. Ethena, Maker, Frax, etc. Not Tether or Circle.

@loancyborg @Crypto_McKenna It says nothing about how BTC gets yield from the statement above

When people ask how we get real yield on BTC and in DeFi, the answer is simple: tokenization. But bringing that yield from real-world assets on-chain isn’t possible without compliant infrastructure. Primary issuance and custody require a regulatory foundation - which is exactly why DeFi-native yield products are now lining up to white-label Chintai. News on this coming soon 😉

I think BTC lending is going to be the biggest emerging narrative for DeFi lending protocols over the next 12-18 months. Every single family office and high networth Individual I've spoken with in recent weeks have said they are all looking for 4-8% APY on their BTC holdings. Some interesting liquid opportunities will emerge from this.

Trump tariffs China. Stops importing. Starts factories in US. Realised he has just deported immigrants, legal and illegal. No production. Americans buy stuff at higher prices.

@0xSpaydh Chief Engagement Officer you mean?

@MaxCallisto I had to wrangle my phone out of hr’s hands

When a direct report isn't delivering, the first question you should ask yourself is actually "what am I failing as a manager?" You can't expect someone to perform well if you're failing to give them the context, objectives and means they need to deliver.

@binji_x Never used @Wise ?

if you think crypto has no use case you have clearly never used a currency exchange booth at an airport before

@ASvanevik How do we ensure it’s the actual financial health of the company reflected in the tokens?

People are missing the point with stocks onchain. Sure, it's great to have currently listed stocks as tokens. But the real opportunity is making it possible for 1,000x more stocks to be public - onchain - in the first place.

@lex_node Gabriel, more of these tweets to pump my bags

please understand that this is blockchain's real super power many have lost sight of it and just view a blockchain as a fun casino no, it's about unbreachable long-term commitments only Ethereum ecosystem truly understands this & lives by it

@dcinvestor It won the hearts of crypto people, but set everyone else’s hearts on fire.

i can kind of get the Europe stuff but ngl i don’t understand why we are fighting with Canada of all countries, nor what we possibly have to gain from it seems like keeping your bordering countries unarmed is generally a good thing, especially when they share no borders with anyone else
