Please enjoy this behind the scenes video of our world record breaking drone show at SXSW in Austin, TX! I had so much fun being part of this experience alongside the rest of the @Gemini team and celebrating the U.S. SBR and Bitcoin's journey over the last 16 years. We've got some exciting features rolling out on @gemini over the next few months so keep an eye out and we'll see you on the moon! 🚀

Good response to the communists 🇺🇸🚀
Replying to @bourscheid
No, you don't get it. He does not have $1 trillion sitting in cash, it is 99% stock in his companies. To make that wealth liquid would mean selling all that stock which would swiftly destroy *both* the companies (Tesla, SpaceX, others) and the wealth. If he sold it all, he'd end up with maybe $100b max, several hundred thousand people would be out of work, the companies ruined and many of their suppliers also ruined. Okay, but now Elon has $100b in cash, and can "solve the world's problems". $100b divided by the world's 8 billion people is $12 If you were in charge, several of the most innovative industrial companies in the world would be destroyed, hundreds of thousands out of work, and space would again close to human civilization for another generation. But everyone on earth could have one nice meal and you could revel in your altruism.

Melanin is the missing link explaining how humans interact with the energy around them. It uses light to generate an electric field within the body. Sunlight, grounding, organic food and healthy relationships strengthen this field. Blue light, non-native EMFs weaken it.

DIEM is the coolest new onchain financial building block we've seen in a long time
$DIEM tokenizes perpetual inference and creates a new blockchain primitive that yields $1 of compute every day. There is so much nascent opportunity to build a whole “perpetual inference” DeFi world on top of this: Just scratching the surface of a few ideas: Inference markets - expiring inference credits can be bought/sold at a discount. Inference lending - renting out unused compute Inference as high LTV tokenized collateral may be one of the more predictable collateral assets in DeFi. Inference leverage - setups that allow you to borrow against your staked DIEM and auto buys more DIEM capacity when needed to scale. DIEM yield markets - various ways that offer those with DIEM opportunities to earn from their unused inference. “Inference sharing” - agreements between users to loan inference back and forth specific days or time periods. Inference options - buying/selling the rights to inference for specific time periods in the future. Aware of a number of teams starting to build in some, but not all, of these directions and there is tons of design space to explore here with the DIEM primitive outside of these few areas. I expect to see a large uptick of DIEM DeFI projects coming online over the next few weeks and months.

Our Q1 earnings are now live, including the news that we have received a $100 million strategic investment from @winklevosscap helping to fuel our growth from a crypto company into a markets company. Our total revenue in Q1 2026 grew 42% YoY to $50 million, while transaction revenue remained stable YoY at $24 million. In April, we received a DCO license from the CFTC, making Gemini one of only a handful of crypto native platforms in the U.S. to hold both a DCM and a DCO in house. This all represents the next step towards Gemini becoming a full-stack, end-to-end marketplace for crypto trading, predictions, futures, options, and more.

Proud of what the team @Gemini continues to build. Q1 focused on growth, regulatory progress, and continued execution. A lot of work went into getting here, and we will continue building toward what’s ahead 🚀

Been telling folks for years the most peaceful protest is Bitcoin. Convert your dollars into BTC in cold storage and cut the head off the snake.
Who you vote for doesn't make much of a difference anymore in the USA If you want to make a difference The money you use matters Vote with your money 💰 $BTC

It was 2 years ago today that we launched Venice. So much has changed since then, but not the principles on which we're building it. The separation of mind and state remain just as important. "Search the world’s information, have rich conversations, analyze documents, create interesting images and art of any style at the push of a button. Various AI services offer these things, so what makes Venice unique? • Venice doesn’t spy on you • Venice doesn’t censor the AI In other words, Venice is private, and Venice is permissionless." moneyandstate.com/blog/the-s…

Great conversation with @JohannKerbrat, Jody Mettler, and Nolan Bauerle on Bitcoin, regulation, infrastructure, and institutional adoption at @TheBitcoinConf last week. After 8 years in crypto and at @Gemini, it's been rewarding watching the conversation evolve from "will this survive?" to "how does this become core financial infrastructure?" Still early & we're building it in real time!!

Her entire salary is stolen from people
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: You can't earn a billion dollars. Ilana Glazer: That's right. AOC: You just can't earn that. Glazer: That's exactly correct. AOC: You can get market power. You can break rules. You can do all sorts of things. You can abuse labor laws. Glazer: Yup. AOC: You can pay people less than what they're worth. Glazer: Yup. AOC: But you can't earn that, right? Glazer: That's right. AOC: And so you have to create a myth that -- since you didn't earn that, you have to create a myth of earning it.

More sun exposure = Better survival from melanoma. Indoor workers → Higher melanoma risk. Artificial blue light is making us more sensitive to the sun's UV light. -Don't blame the sun for what LEDs caused.

For years I've been saying robots won't be able to open up bank accounts, but they will be able to plug into blockchains. Maybe I was wrong 😀. @meow has now created a way for agents to open up bank accounts, send money, and more!
AI agents can now open business bank accounts. @Meow lets your AI agent open bank accounts, issue cards, check balances, send money, and audit spend. Works with Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Gemini, and more. The first financial infrastructure built for agents.

If you're getting your inference from Anthropic or OpenAI or Google, you're being captured by extractive institutions: All your data is going to them (and hackers, rogue employees, governments... both today and tomorrow) Inference can be private. GLM 5.1, Kimi K2.6, Deepseek V4... these models are as powerful as any frontier model from just 3 months ago, yet are open source and can be run without betraying your life and data to any 3rd party. Point your agent to Venice for every private model in one place (plus crypto tools, web search, embeddings, image and video models...). Could not be easier. Be intentional. Private model access below 👇
The goal of Personal AI: civilization where individual humans, augmented by AI, can do consequential work without being captured by extractive institutions. Freedom to write your prompt and own your data. This is the new battleground. 2034 won’t have to be like 1984.

Another win for the Biden Administration!
I've warned for months that a @JetBlue-@SpiritAirlines merger would have led to fewer flights and higher fares. @JusticeATR and @USDOT were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation. This is a Biden win for flyers! apnews.com/article/jetblue-s…
