It’s time we propose a bill to get all people over 80 out of Congress. We force people out of the military at 62. Serving beyond ones time is a sheer act of narcissism. The world is changing too fast to have a collection of 70-80 year olds making all the important decisions.
Sugar is killing us in America. The average man and woman has gained over 30 lbs in the past 30 years. French women have gained 3 by comparison. They don’t eat the crap we do.Our country needs a real dialogue around obesity. Over 75 percent of Covid deaths were also obese.
Banks charged 12 bn in overdraft fees, a fortune in atm fees, a fortune in checking account fees. But you keep going after crypto where saving and money transfer is a fraction of banks. Good job
@SenWarren
You really don’t seem so progressive to me.
It’s so depressing to think we are heading towards a 2024 election of Biden v Trump part 2. An 82 year old vs a 78 year old. Really? This is the best we have America? Someone give me some hope. And for the record, I’m an optimist and just had an amazing week.
1)This GME squeeze is deeper than a squeeze. its a large group of people saying they don't want Citadel preying on their orders from RH, they don't want IPO's being allocated to insiders, they don't like a system geared to the already rich.This is a giant endorsement of DEFI.
My take on
@elonmusk
is to take him at his word. He cares about the environment and he is using his considerable influence to push BTC mining towards a greener future. Lots of companies in the space have already been working on this. Stay tuned. And buy $BTC.
I actually think the $DOGE frenzy is gonna end poorly. Same reason $GME did. Greed and Gravity. $DOGE doesn’t have a purpose. Stay with $BTC, $ETH, defi coins. Plenty of smarter ways to play this crypto rally.

Yesterday I was pleased to host a meeting between
@elonmusk
& the leading Bitcoin miners in North America. The miners have agreed to form the Bitcoin Mining Council to promote energy usage transparency & accelerate sustainability initiatives worldwide.
The MasterCard news is huge. A few months ago it would have been all the crypto community would focus on for the ensuing month. Now we are getting so much good news it almost goes unnoticed. Let me repeat. It is huge news. Crypto adoption is here.
Apologies to
@nayibbukele
and the people of El Salvador. I fell for ‘fake news’ and while I mentioned I hadn’t confirmed it, I should have.
Thanks
@cz_binance
for pointing it out.
I am a huge fan of what you are doing in El Salvador.
America is thee undisputed, number one, fattest country. Average male 200lbs. Average female 171. To put in perspective the French shave more than 30 lbs for both sexes. We have an obesity epidemic!!! And politicians are silent.

continues to invest in the crypto community. $FB seems to have stalled. Google and Apple haven’t started. They all will chase Twitter.
Square is considering building a Bitcoin mining system based on custom silicon and open source for individuals and businesses worldwide. If we do this, we’d follow our hardware wallet model: build in the open in collaboration with the community. First some thoughts and questions.
Crypto wealth is approx 50bps of global wealth. That means if you don’t have at least 1/2 percent invested in crypto you are short the global benchmark. Most institutions are still at 0. As they move in, that number will go to 1 then 2 then….
The cycle has started.
The crypto crash of the past few days has shocked investors around the world.
Vitalik Buterin isn't among them — even though the meltdown wiped out a huge chunk of his personal wealth.
Finished day 1 of 100 days of cardio!!! It was a 3 mile run on a treadmill. 32 mins. Weak.
100 days straight. At least 30mins of cardio. Come and join me. Let’s get healthy.
Whose in??
Starting a 3 week no carbs/sugar diet tomorrow. Limiting alcohol to vodka soda and only 2 max per outing. Plus workouts at least 5 days a week. Anyone want to join me? I’m at my lifetime max weight. If so dm me and we will out together a support group. So far we are 2.
$BTC is in price discovery phase. Maybe really for the first time since it’s been an asset as now the bulk of US wealth has easy access. Hard to predict where we stop.
I don’t understand how smart progressives like
@SenWarren
don’t see how crypto and $BTC shifts power away from rent taking organizations like banks (who she is always fighting) to the people. I am glad to come to DC or Boston to explain.
Bitcoin requires so much computing activity that it eats up more energy than entire countries. One of the easiest and least disruptive things we can do to fight the
#ClimateCrisis
is to crack down on environmentally wasteful cryptocurrencies.
Banks have paid billions in fines for money laundering and other hanky panky over the last decade. I am sure over $100bn. I’d like to see evidence of large scale money laundering in crypto before we get comments like this.
#Bitcoin
‘has conducted some funny business and some interesting and totally reprehensible money laundering activity,'
@ECB
President Christine Lagarde said at the
#ReutersNext
conference
China news isn’t good. Xi is an authoritarian leader who wants control over things. $BTC is the opposite of authoritarianism. Chinese citizens will always find a way to move assets outside the system but they are making it harder. Will take some time to play out. Keep the faith.
28 percent of men between 18-30 reported having no sex in the past year. That number is up from 10-12 percent pre- social media. It’s a shockingly large number. And dangerous for society. Valentine’s Day maybe should get a whole new focus.
After that comment I am ready to challenge
@PeterSchiff
to a cage match where profits go to charity of your choice. I’ll donate to Ukraine relief. I’m just sick of your smugness Peter.The Ukrainians are fighting for their lives, their country and their freedom.Have some respect.
I understand times are hard, but doesn't the President of the

own a suit? I don't have much respect for current members of the U.S. Congress either, but I still wouldn't address them wearing a t-shirt. I wouldn't want to disrespect the institution or the Unites States.
This might be the most important $BTC news of 2020. An insurance company buys bitcoin for its general account. This needs fed approval. It’s a HUGE deal.
JUST IN: Mastercard to allow any merchant or bank to offer
#Bitcoin
and crypto services
Meaning that thousands of banks and millions of merchants can soon can soon integrate crypto into their products.

The average American woman is now 5’4 and weighs 171lbs. That is average. The average male is 5’9 snd weighs 197. That is up over 30lbs since I graduated from college. America, we have a problem. Remember that is average. I keep thinking of the movie Wall-e. Ideas?
Last question before I go shower, can anyone make a real bull case for $ADA? Does anyone build on it? Use it? Why is market cap so high? Should it be a funding asset? It’s one of the few cryptos I haven’t traded in my life.
I think crypto is not selling off too much on this news for two reasons- 1) DC realized the crypto community is big, diverse and loud. And 2) They proved exactly why people want decentralized systems in the first place.
"Crypto has come from nowhere to be a force in the market ... it's here to stay. Cryptocurrency is not going away," The Carlyle Group's David Rubenstein

. "The idea that the government is going to stop cryptocurrency from being something investors want is unrealistic."
The crypto revolution is moving so fast it’s brutally hard to keep up. NFTs and gaming, defi, protocol development, stable coins and BTC adoption all accelerating. I’ve been on ‘holiday’ for almost a week and feel like I’m three months behind. And I’ve been working 😂.
This elbow thing is just weird at this point. They have all been vaccinated. Trust the science. LEAD. We need to move out of fear and into the sunlight.
Everyone in crypto should take a moment to appreciate what a great quarter the past 3 months were. Maybe the most important quarter in crypto ever. Breathe in. Breather out. And let’s get back to work. 😉
Millennials and Gen Z get to inherit all these liabilities being written by the +75 crowd in charge today. Really doesn’t seem just. The Boomers will go down as the generation that bankrupted the USA. Maybe why young people like $BTC.
The ‘shitcoin’ pumping isn’t good for our industry. There is a serious revolution going on and it distracts from that. It feels similar to the protests after George Floyd that at times got hijacked by looters and hooligans. Stay the course. Build the change.
The crypto industry is pure chaos right now.
- Elon can't make up his mind
- Saylor is gobbling up bitcoin
- Coinbase listing Doge
- Every shitcoin pumping
- Mainstream media confused
- Central banks printing non-stop
- Institutions pouring cash in
Complete madness.
Gold has an $8.5 trillion dollar market cap. Silver is $15bn That is .17%. $BTC has a $90bn mkt cap. $ltc is $5.7bn which is 6.4% of $BTC. Silver is at least useful for industrial production. $ltc is a glorified test net for $btc. I don't get this rally. Sell $ltc buy $btc.
It is sad that
@ewarren
who started her career with good intentions has morphed into a disingenuous know-it-all who uses any chance she gets to make a headline. We must throw out the populists and replace them with a group of leaders who want to get things done. Not a senator…

. He was way ahead on Psychedelics. He was ahead on the growth of MMA. He has a legion of followers who love him. And he acknowledged he could have been more balanced in his presentation on Vax.America needs to learn to do sorry.
The Bitfinex hack recovery is actually medium term bullish for crypto. The bad guys lost their coins. It’s why 3 letter agencies are learning to like $BTC. It’s a good day for the crypto security companies.
Crypto is the future of our financial system and our citizens deserve officials that do their homework to understand this new technology. Most of our leaders haven’t done that yet. We also need regulators and politicians who understand that new ideas need room to grow.
Cryptocurrency is the wild west of our financial system and desperately needs rules of the road to protect investors and our economy. I’m glad SEC Chair
@GaryGensler
agrees, and I’m going to keep pushing our regulators to act.
The value of $XRP has actually almost tripled since the SEC actions. It hasn’t plummeted. It’s a testament to the fact that once communities are formed with shared interest they are damn resilient.
I have not seen a more tone deaf political move than the one Trudeau is making. Covid is ending. His Career will too. Makes so little sense. 🇨🇦oh Canada???
A perfect storm. Hawkish fed. Omni spiral. Weekend liquidity. Pick your levels to bid and turn off the screens. If you have too much risk, offer above and turn off the screens. Staring at them doesn’t help (I tried that for years😂).
So I yelled to the a guy I assumed was this yachts owner, “are you diamond hands?”
“He said, no, I bought the boat from him!”
Wasn’t sure if I was supposed to laugh or cry 😂
So strange. For a man who has done a brilliant job running a giant bank, his answers around $BTC are sophomoric and he keeps doubling down on them. I pray I stay open minded my whole life.
$JPM's Jamie Dimon on bitcoin: "I'll just challenge the group to one other thing: how do you know it ends at 21 million? You all read the algorithms? You guys all believe that? I don't know, I've always been a skeptic of stuff like that."
2600 $Eth would be the next support. Hoping and thinking it holds. Unfortunately Russel has like 14 percent more to go before it bottoms. Won’t be a straight line down.
This will be a year where people realize being an investor is a difficult job.
$LUNA trades like it doesn’t want to go lower despite this Black Friday beatdown. After a few more drinks in Paris, I’m going to howl at the moon in $LUNA’s honor for giving me something to pay the bill with 😂.
total $XRP now worth $380 bn.... makes Ripple labs worth $225bn.. tenth largest company by market cap in the world... makes Chris Larsen worth $55bn tying Mark Zuckerburg as 5th richest man in the world.....
This PayPal news is the biggest news of the year in crypto. All banks will now be on a race to service crypto. We have crossed the rubicon people. Exciting day. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

one of the longest active duty careers in air force history was at the SOTU last night, but Trump gave the Medal of Freedom to Rush Limbaugh. Says it all.
Realizing having tweeted about crypto in a while. It’s a grind. Don’t think we head north for at least a few more months. Always take longer for institutions to move. Very confident they will. Tons of activity under the hood. Stay the course.
If banks had the transparency of defi protocols, we would nott have had the mortgage crisis. Defi will win because it’s better. Atomic settlement. Bearer assets. Composability. Transparency. We just need to solve for kyc which is coming. We need to educate our politicians.
2) been in charge since that Clinton election. It’s time for all 70 and up politicians to move aside. You have been poor stewards of our country. Have some humility. Let the younger generations take a shot at leading. This a a bi-partisan request.
At one Point in the 1989 Japanese real estate bubble, the Imperial Palace in Japan was said to be worth more than the entire state of California,, things that don't make sense don't last....be careful out there
$BTC will have a larger market cap than $TSLA within 6 months. Both are ‘religions’ though $TSLA has so much risk around
@elonmusk
while $BTC is owned and run by a giant decentralized community who is growing every day. It’s a risk management bet. Full disclosure I own 2 TSLAs
China is so scared of Covid they are gonna ruin the Olympics. No family. No fans. Tons of athletes are gonna test positive as Omicron (the flu) is so easy to get. The world needs to move beyond this lunacy. Damn shame for those athletes who worked a lifetime for this moment.
2024 is the next year of the 🐉🐉I was born in 1964 also a Dragon. When $BTC breaks 500k by 2024 I will get a Dragon Tattoo on my left forearm. That’s only Gold market cap. We can do this. Feed my tattoo addiction. 🔥🔥🔥thanks.
$Luna trades amazing. Columbus coming. Same with “Next with Novo” podcast…mostly lots of new projects post Columbus. It reminds me of $SOL pre huge ramp. $BTC and $ETH will consolidate. Just my thoughts. Remember you don’t need to catch everything. Focus on what’s working.
Mike Novogratz: "it was a lot riskier to buy Bitcoin at $90, $1000 or $10,000 than it is to buy up here at $35,000. There will be volatility, but Bitcoin is de-risked."

Israel adding RMB to its reserves says something about the future of the dollar as the only reserve currency. Countries will have a basket. It will include $BTC.
🎂 Ten candles on the cake. 100 billion plus in value. The spark and backbone of a revolution. Happy Birthday $btc. And thank you Satoshi - wherever you are.
Looks to me like a short term top is in. My hunch is we consolidate between 10-16k for a while. Extreme would be 8k. Bull market isn’t over. Just pausing.
