Lovers’ Quarrel by @deekaymotion Had to get it as it resonated so well with me!

@CryptoHayes @__bleeker Does it have fuel to go past ATH or ATH gonna be the resistance?

We got a long way to go ... pack your bags for da moon.

Saylor will get blamed but it was always in the cards.

@JasonrShuman @davemcclure Was it him or was it ftx ventures that wrote the check. Which was led by @amywumartin

So you’re telling me SBF did Anthropic, Cursor, Solana and Robinhood? His NAV would’ve been about $52-86B today 9.8-16.2X TVPI 🤯

@SawyerMerritt Honest question, why would starlink be a game changer for flights. I fly approx 12 - 15 times a year, never once I felt inconvienent due to no internet. Short flights : I’ll listen to podcasts, Long flights : I’ll sleep. I choose my flights based on dep/arr timings.

Starlink Wi-Fi review on United Airlines: "If I weren't buckled into a seat, I might not have noticed that I was using in-flight Wi-Fi. When it came to working on my laptop and streaming movies on my phone and tablet, I could have been on my broadband at home. The hardware that makes this happen is a pair of low-profile 500Mbps antennas mounted on the top of the fuselage (pic below). This experience was a demonstration flight on United's first mainline Boeing 737-800 aircraft to be outfitted with the new satellite hardware. Two experiences stood out when I was on the Starlink-equipped plane. First, it operates gate-to-gate, so you can connect on your phone or tablet (laptops still need to be put away during takeoff) as soon as you get settled in your seat. After we'd landed and were taxiing back to the gate, I forgot that I was still connected through Starlink. For almost as long as I've owned a cellphone, wheels-down meant it's time to switch off Airplane mode and embrace the familiar connection of local cellular. Second, the few sign-on steps I had to go through weren't any more onerous than getting on a public cafe or hotel Wi-Fi network. After connecting to the United Wi-FI network, a portal window opened with a trio of screens explaining how great the new service is (you can skip them) and a field to enter my United MileagePlus account and password."

@godfred_xcuz @muneeb Where can I read more about the restructuring and @Stacks new roadmap?

@muneeb Was pleasantly surprised when reviewing Stacks 2025 achievements. What a year! Well done! And how Stacks built Bitcoin infra for the world and institutions x.com/i/status/20060…

Happy 2026 to the Stacks family! As the tourists leave this space, the road is wide open for creating the largest on-chain economy for the best global money. STX is the rails. BTC is the money. We’re fired up with new treasury, clear roadmap, and growing devs 🚀

@Affirm @mlevchin @TheEconomist Disagree, it’s more of the lack of financial discipline and giving in to instant gratification that destroys them. Broad labeling that all kids are discipline enough to resist instant gratification when they clearly couldn’t afford something is also grossly incorrect.

“The kids are smarter than people give them credit for.” Our CEO @mlevchin joined @TheEconomist's Money Talks to dispel BNPL myths and explore why building honest financial products has been good business. Listen in: bit.ly/4mh5mEo

@davidmarcus @pmarca @joerogan Reflecting back, would it had worked if y’all went ahead and do it instead of seeking regulators approval initially. The startup way.. you don’t ask for approval, you ask for forgiveness.

How Libra Was Killed. I never shared this publicly before, but since @pmarca opened the floodgates on @joerogan’s pod, it feels appropriate to shed more light on this. As a reminder, Libra (then Diem) was an advanced, high-performance, payments-centric blockchain paired with a stablecoin that we built with my team at @Meta. It would’ve solved global payments at scale. Prior to announcing the project, we spent months briefing key regulators in DC and abroad. We then announced the project in June 2019 alongside 28 companies. Two weeks later, I was called to testify in front of both the Senate Banking Committee and the House Financial Services Committee, which was the starting point of two years of nonstop work and changes to appease lawmakers and regulators. By spring of 2021 (yes they slow played us at every step), we had addressed every last possible regulatory concern across financial crime, money laundering, consumer protection, reserve management, buffers, and so much more, and we were ready to launch. We had worked on a slow rollout of a limited pilot that some members of the Fed’s Board of Governors were supportive of. At last, Chair Jay Powell was ready to let us move forward in a limited way. The story, as I heard it, is that Jay Powell was told by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen at one of their biweekly meetings that allowing this project to move forward was “political suicide,” and she would not have his back if he let it happen. I wasn’t in the room when this conversation happened, so take these words with a grain of salt, but effectively this was the moment Libra was killed. Shortly thereafter, the Fed organized calls with all the participating banks, and the Fed’s general counsel read a prepared statement to each of them, saying: “We can’t stop you from moving forward and launching, but we are not comfortable with you doing so.” And just like that, it was over. One essential point is worth making here. There was no legal or regulatory angle left for the government or regulators to kill the project. It was 100% a political kill—one that was executed through intimidation of captive banking institutions. That was the hardest part of this story for me personally. Not that we had failed, but that America, this country I immigrated to and became a proud citizen of because of its rule of law and value system, behaved in such a way for political reasons. It was a very tough pill to swallow. The bright side of the story, though, was the many learnings from this wild ride. By the end of the project, we had made so many concessions to get a thumbs-up that the whole design of the network became a Frankenstein of our initial ambitions. We also learned the biggest lesson of all, which is that if you’re trying to build an open money grid for the world—eventually moving trillions of dollars a day, designed to be here 100 years from now—you have to build it on the most neutral, decentralized, unassailable network and asset, which, hands down, is Bitcoin. And now this is what many of us who went through this scarring journey are building together at @Lightspark. And this time, we won’t stop until we get it done!

@SawyerMerritt I don’t live in NA, but in Singapore and have been asking the sales advisors here for ages for atleast a 6 or 7 seater M Y. I own a 2023 MY

Would you buy the Model Y L if Tesla ends up selling it in North America?

@DzambhalaHODL @nakamoto Curious to hear your take as to why other copycats while being able to replicate the mechanism of metaplanet, would the share price increase when investors can just buy into existing treasury companies.

Conceptualizing the Treasury Trend 1. Microstrategy, after adopting Bitcoin in 2020, achieves breakthrough success in February 2024 (market understands Saylor won) 2. Metaplanet launches in April 2024, but only demonstrates breakaway performance in Oct 2024 (Market understands you can replicate Saylor) 3. Smarter Web Company IPOs in April, 2025. By June it's the best performing UK IPO of all times (Market understands *other people* -will- replicate Saylor) In assessing the trajectory of the Treasury trend I would argue the category was only truly created when Metaplanet proved you could solidly replicate Microstrategy At this point the idea of a category is known to early movers. Smarter Web Company effectively solidifies this knowledge. So as of April 2025 people watching the market are now clear "this is something you can do/invest in". However very few people are watching this market. So in my view the actual trend of Treasury companies has only solidly existed since April - in a real way. Microstrategy as a unique and breakthrough success doesn't do anything on its own unless people believe you can replicate it. Metaplanet launching didn't prove that - only its wild and rapid success did in October. And then it really takes one more success to solidify what's happening. So that's my read on where we are - the answer in my eyes is that the trend started only a few months ago.

@startuponsol @himgajria Can we get you on Forbes 30 under 30? @Forbes

A startup that does nothing. That is what we are building. Simple.

@alistairmilne Creating a couple for the Singapore Capital markets as well ;)

Should the UK have its own $MSTR?

@cobie @poordart Let’s see what CT thinks.

@poordart Hilariously it is one of these two things

Ready to be hurt again

@SawyerMerritt Q1’24 Tesla is still producing the old Model Y which uses lidar ?

In Q1 of 2024, Luminar said Tesla was the company's biggest lidar customer, accounting for over 10% of Luminar's revenue (about $2 million). Tesla uses LiDAR on some company vehicles for validation and ground truth data collection to compare the accuracy of their vision-based system for FSD.

@khouuba Block out the noise, continue building. What can the community help you with? I’m here for the long run.

assessing everything right now. got rid of the devs that were with me. i’ll just do this alone for now at least. let’s take it back to basics. no more dates, no more hype. i’ll just go live with it when ready. i’ll prepare a plan of action that i’ll share with the community. we tried things and failed but we’re not giving up. this has nothing to do with financial incentives or else, the people that know me whether personally or professional know. this is for the community. but again doing threats won’t help. just one exemple of many that i get daily.
