Honored to have been an early strategic investor in Acre - so it’s particularly exciting to see milestones like $100M TVL and open access to the Dapp. Who doesn’t want to #CompoundYourBitcoin?
Acre is breaking new ground for Bitcoin holders: $4M raised at a $90M FDV, $100M+ TVL, and now open access to its dApp. Acre is the first platform designed to help Bitcoin holders securely compound their BTC while maintaining full control. Read more from @Yogita_Khatri5 via @TheBlock__

I feel like the whole BoA money laundering thing should be talked about, but what's left to say? I spent a year in prison for not filling out a form around selling Bitcoin and got in trouble because someone two degrees separate from me allegedly used it to launder funds. The amount in question was around $30k. BoA launders $5b and has to give one fifth of it back to the government. No jail for anyone. This is America.

“Beyond dystopian.” Novelist Dave Eggers is sounding the alarm about AI, which he argues is harming children’s education: “You have a ten-year-old who is unprecedented in the history of the world. There's never been anyone like that person… To think about that one-of-a-kind-in-the-history-of-humanity person shopping their vision out to a machine, how tragic that is. That's beyond dystopian. It cannot be allowed. Not even one ounce of AI can be allowed in the humanities and youth education.”

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

ICYMI: Threshold Labs’ Co-founder (@saprophetik) breaks down how tBTC continues to gain momentum through bear markets and periods of Bitcoin price volatility.
Callan Sarre (@saprophetik), Co-Founder & CPO of Threshold Labs, at the Hack Seasons Conference in Singapore, organized by @mpost_io, emphasized that liquidity in a bear market comes from real yield, not token emissions. For tBTC, liquidity is driven by organic users, a shift we believe will build stronger stability for any cycle.
