Nobody would post their bank account on X Half of CT does it every day by accident

Everyone's calling the stablecoin exodus a trend... but it's a blip Stablecoin market cap has been flat-ish all year The $14.2 billion recently leaving blockchains and exchanges is drastic, but it can be explained Anthropic's IPO lands on (or around) Nov. 19, which could be the source of movement (and BTC sales) moving out of crypto to buy in On January 17, the GENIUS Act goes into effect, which could bring a whole new wave of stablecoin demand on-chain with: > clear federal pathways for non-banks > institutional participation > enhanced legal certainty > bank and trust integration Blip or trend?

If you want to do YouTube Shorts better, check this out Lately, I've been trying to make the most out of long-form videos as part of a Waterfall Content strategy under development Over the past day, I built an agent research assistant that checks 29 creators and 26 search phrases in my content niche; it runs every Sunday Its goal is to find Shorts that did better than a creator's other Shorts usually do, shares the transcript, and takes screenshots of the video The agent will then help workout the hook, beat, and end/CTA Each "recipe" lands as a skill, which is made when 2 or more creators have used a similar format for their Shorts Now, when I make a long-form video, the agent will apply the Shorts skill and make the cuts for the short-form videos Fixes the agent and I made along the way included: > Reading YouTube handles better > Removing paid ads that looked like breakouts > Removing false-positive, off-topic results > Making the transcription process 13x faster The Shorts review costs nothing because it uses my free 10k quota for YouTube and current Claude subscription Follow me if you're looking for leveraging agents to help you create better content that isn't AI slop

If there’s one characteristic of every long-term crypto participant, it’s that they can stomach the swings, and still shitpost The ones who make it through the crypto cycles have a weird internal schadenfreude They look at the pain of others and take solace in the fact that those people feel exactly like they do It’s not masochistic in the sense that the survivors wish ill will on others But a commonality truly bonds them to this space For every new account that popped up in 2017, 2021, and 2025 there are thousands that have gone radio silent That’s why the real ones don’t give af the tokens go down They embrace the pain and ride it out They stay comfy in spot You know?

Everyone can see how much crypto you hold But... what if they couldn't? This walkthrough of @zk_money helps you: > HODL stablecoins privately > Send and receive private payments > Earn 3.8% interest on stables Also shown: fees, limitations, risks Would you use it?

Publishing more articles won't fix your marketing problem I've fallen into this trap so many times over ~9 years in crypto: publish more about something, and surely people will start talking about it That's simply not true Some people want a 30s video, others want a detailed breakdown, and some need to hear the same concept explained in three different ways The job as a content marketer isn't just to publish more information It's to deliver information in a way people will actually engage with

If you used AI to build your website, read this AI makes building easy, but non-developers don't know what they don't know I asked my AI agent to audit my website for security vulnerabilities It found something I never would've thought to check

Banks fought stablecoins all year… in two months we’ll find out if it mattered Stablecoins were crypto’s killer use case for the first half of the 2020s Supply peaked in Dec 2025, with GENIUS Act as a catalyst all year Politicians defended them, saying they’d help secure dollar dominance In 2026, banks lobbied against them in the fight over CLARITY Act GENIUS Act goes into effect Jan. 17, 2027 We’ll get a live test of whether US institutions push the market cap higher… or whether digital dollars never found a product-market fit Do you see market cap going above $300 billion in 2027?

The best thing AI gave me wasn’t output; it was time to think Today, here’s what I use: > GrokBot (thinking partner, research) > Claude Code and Codex (develop pipelines) > OpenClaw (automate workflows) > Obsidian (file management) > Orca (terminal management) Start automating your repeatable tasks; it’ll be a learning curve but, worth it Automate those tasks and fill that newly found time with THINKING Think about new ways you can: > improve your team’s process > start building for yourself > create that side hustle you’ve always dreamed of At worst, you’ll get some of your time back At best, you’ll unlock a new chapter Follow along as I build this out in public. Both the wins, and the wheel-spinning

If you don't think ethereum:native is a Store of Value, read this We tend to get caught up in tribalism on crypto Twitter about whose token or blockchain is better The real problem is that the US dollar keeps losing purchasing power every year There is one simple fact: holding assets is the only way to escape this A SoV is any asset, commodity, or currency that maintains its worth and purchasing power over time so it can be saved, retrieved, and exchanged later When Vitalik called ETH a SoV, he didn't say "it's the only SoV," which is what a lot of hard-money folks like to do Since 2015, ETH has held its value better than the dollar… and it isn't close Plenty of things can be a SoV. The dollar just isn't one of them What's your Store of Value, and why?

I spent 2 months building AI tools in February... only 3 of them survived When I started building with OpenClaw in February, I spent 2 months spinning my wheels optimizing everything and ended up in AI psychosis ... bought a Mac Mini, made a second brain, added all of the recursive loops, downloaded local models, implemented new prompting strategies... None of that actually mattered. It didn't improve my day-to-day The things that I still use to this day from the February/March build? > A highlighter tool > A weekly newsletter tool > A technical article drafting tool The only way to get good results is to have clear goals In total, that was just about 10 hours of work to make these lasting tools So now I keep it simple: build video/audio editing tools because I do podcasts, videos, and Spaces every week If you're into documenting your thought processes or sharing what you know, follow me I'll be posting more about using agents for long-form and short-form video editing, and using transcripts to help generate engaging content What's the one AI tool you actually still use?

Every DeFi tutorial on YouTube leaks something Your address, balance, bookmarks... they're on display in the video I built an AI pipeline that blurs them out after recording Face stays public; data stays private Follow me for the build. Posting a test walkthrough this week

Vitalik is saying $ETH is a life raft It is the alternative to monetary systems where money supply is expanded by governments and central banks With fixed-ish* supply tokens, you are protected from the money printing that makes your dollar buy less
