Next PTT app loading…
Exciting day! We tested the new PTT Wallet app by sending PTT Coin to each other on our team meeting this morning. 📲 Nothing beats seeing it work in real-time. Found a few tweaks and improvements to make, which is exactly why we do these tests. More updates coming soon.

You want to know what we believe in? Everyone on Earth having a real shot at a good life. Parents able to put food on the table for their kids. People having a basic standard of living that most of the world treats as a luxury. None of this should feel out of reach, yet for billions it still does. The part that should make you angry is how solvable it is. The answer is already here. Give people the ability to earn, build, and trade freely, and watch how fast everything else follows. ✅ The tools exist. ✅ The talent exists. What's missing is access, and access is something we can actually build. That's what we believe in.

This is the right frame. 👇 Crypto stopped being one asset a long time ago and turned into a layer underneath payments, settlement, and savings. The price of any single coin says very little about where the actual technology is going.
People still think (or feel) because Bitcoin is down crypto is down. Derivatives/perps, stablecoins, prediction markets, etc are all up in crypto. Crypto touches every area of finance, and is much broader than Bitcoin now. It will take some time for this to sink in. (And yes - Bitcoin is going to do great and is as important as ever - one of many cycles we've all been through.)

This shouldn't be complicated but people keep making it complicated. 👇 When people have access to the global economy, they build. They grow. They prosper. When they're locked out, they don't. They can't. That's it. That's the whole thing. 900 million people are sitting right now with a phone in their hand and no way to participate in the economy their own labor supports. They grow the cocoa, mine the cobalt, sew the clothes. The global economy runs on what they produce and they can't access any of it. We could literally change that tomorrow. The technology exists. The infrastructure exists. We built it. Peace Through Trade is the bridge between a phone in someone's pocket and the global economy they've been locked out of their entire life. The rails are built. The compliance is built. The app is built. The only thing missing is you knowing about it.
The idea isn't about making millions and millions. It's about making enough to feel comfortable and enjoy life without worry.

Every major industry went through a wild west phase. ✈️ Aviation had zero safety standards. There was no air traffic control and planes often crashed. Then the rules showed up and now it's a $900 billion a year industry and one of the safest ways to travel on the planet. 🎵 Music streaming was pure chaos. Remember Napster and LimeWire? Piracy was rampant and artists got nothing. Then the rules showed up and now it's a $45 billion a year ecosystem with creators actually getting paid. Crypto has been in its wild west phase for well over a decade. ❌ No clear rules on what's a security and what's a commodity. ❌ No consumer protections when exchanges collapsed with customer funds inside. ❌ No accountability when projects rugged millions overnight. People celebrated the lack of regulation like it was freedom, but it wasn't. It was the reason institutional money stayed on the sidelines and the reason everyday people got burned. @SenLummis has spent years working on the Clarity Act to change that. It will have clear guidelines., real structure. and a framework that lets legitimate projects operate without being lumped in with scams. The industries that fought regulation the hardest grew the most after it arrived. 🏆 Aviation didn't shrink after safety rules. It exploded. 🏆 Music didn't die after licensing frameworks. It scaled globally. Crypto is next. The wild west phase is ending. The building phase is starting.
No rules doesn’t mean no harm, it means no recourse. I’ve spent years working on the Clarity Act to ensure the digital asset can thrive on U.S. soil under a clear set of guidelines.

We're small here on X and we know that, but in the last 30 days we've hit almost 30 million views on Instagram. All organic. Zero ad spend. Zero paid promotion. The mission is spreading whether the algorithm likes us here or not. People care about what's happening in the world and they want to be part of something that's actually doing something about it. That's why we're quickly growing and we're just getting started.

Every country that pulled itself out of poverty did it through trade. 🇰🇷 South Korea 🇸🇬 Singapore 🇧🇼 Botswana 🇹🇼 Taiwan Every country that stayed in poverty was either cut off from markets or flooded with aid that replaced the need to build. 🇭🇹 Haiti right now. 🇨🇺 Cuba right now. 🇧🇴 Bolivia right now. The pattern is the same EVERY single time. Give people access to the economy and they build. Take it away and everything falls apart.
When people can trade, they build. When they can't, they fight. It really comes down to that.

Puerto Rico is American soil. Everyone there is a U.S. citizen, yet 41% live in poverty. Nearly half the island relies on some form of government assistance. 👉 Food. 👉 Healthcare. 👉 Housing. 👉 Cash support. For decades, Washington has sent billions and still, the poverty remains. Why? Because survival is not the same thing as prosperity. Puerto Rico lost its manufacturing base. Pharma left. The economy endured recession, bankruptcy, hurricanes, earthquakes, and COVID. More than a million people left because opportunity disappeared. An economy where nearly half the population depends on assistance is not an economy. It’s life support. Aid can keep people alive, but aid alone does NOT build industry. ❌ It does NOT create productive infrastructure. ❌ It does NOT create ownership. ❌ It does NOT create independence. You can subsidize survival forever and never create prosperity. The answer was never endless programs. The answer is building economic systems where people can actually participate, produce, trade, and thrive. 💪
In Puerto Rico, approximately 47% of households rely on some form of public assistance or welfare (like SNAP/NAP or TANF). This equates to roughly 586,000 households.

The Senate Banking Committee is voting on the Clarity Act right now. This is the bill that decides whether crypto gets real legal rules in the US. Watch it live.👇

Tomorrow morning the most important vote in crypto history happens and most people have no idea what's about to go down. 🤯 The Senate Banking Committee meets at 10:30 AM to debate and vote on the CLARITY Act, the first real regulatory framework for crypto in the United States. This is the vote that decides whether the US leads the future of digital finance or gets left behind. But here's what's happening behind the scenes right now. Over 100 amendments have been filed to the bill. Elizabeth Warren alone submitted more than 40 of them. One of her proposals would block crypto companies from ever accessing the Federal Reserve's banking system. Think about what that means. Even if the bill passes, crypto firms would be permanently cut off from the core financial infrastructure of the United States. Senator Jack Reed went even further. He filed an amendment that would ban crypto from ever being recognized as legal tender in the US. No paying taxes with it. No using it as money. Period. And it doesn't stop with the politicians. The American Bankers Association has sent over 8,000 letters to Senate offices in the last week alone pressuring lawmakers to gut the stablecoin provisions in the bill. The banking lobby, labor unions, and ethics groups are all pushing against it at the same time. This bill passed the House with bipartisan support last year. 294 votes to 134. 78 Democrats voted for it. The White House wants it signed by July 4th. But none of that matters if it can't survive tomorrow morning. If the amendments pile up and push the vote past May 21st when the Senate breaks for Memorial Day recess, this bill dies. Not just for this year. Potentially for the rest of the decade. That's what's at stake tomorrow. The entire future of crypto regulation in the US comes down to one room in Washington at 10:30 AM. Pay attention.
News: Sens. Reed (D-R.I.) and Smith (D-Minn.) have filed an amendment ahead of Thursdays markup that will force senators to choose between crypto and the banks The amendment would incorporate bank’s changes to stablecoin yield restrictions. Tough tough vote for bank-friendly Rs

Los Angeles has spent over $24 billion on homelessness in the last decade. 🤯 The homeless population went up by over 40% while all of that money was being spent. Billions of dollars allocated to programs, shelters, services, and initiatives, yet the streets look worse than they did before any of it started. Nobody can tell you exactly where that money went. Audits have found millions in mismanaged funds, payments to contractors with no deliverables, and programs that exist on paper but not in reality. This isn't just an LA problem. This is every major city in America. Billions in taxpayer money flowing through systems with zero real-time accountability. ❌ No transparent tracking of where funds go after allocation ❌ No public ledger showing which programs received what ❌ No way for taxpayers to verify a single dollar was spent the way it was supposed to be And then they ask for more money. 💸 The technology to fix this exists RIGHT NOW. The answer is blockchain. ✅ Every dollar tracked in real time. ✅ Every transaction visible to the public. ✅ Every payment verified on a ledger that nobody can alter or hide. You can't commit fraud on a system where every transaction is permanently recorded and publicly visible. The money can't disappear because there's nowhere for it to go. This isn't complicated. The technology is here. It's been here. Which government is willing to use it first? People aren't losing faith in government because of politics. They're losing faith because they keep handing over money and watching it vanish. That ends the second there's nowhere to hide it.
I asked @SpencerPratt how Los Angeles can be saved. His answer: Stop taxpayers' money from going to fraud and scams and spend it where it's actually going to improve the lives of the people. Leaders in California have been taking advantage of taxpayers for too long...

Imagine thinking this is a great political ad.
I'm not like most people who run for Governor. I'm a single mom of three kids who fills the gas tank and pushes the grocery cart just like almost everybody else in our state. To make life more affordable in California for those of us who aren't billionaires or bankrolled by big industry PACs, it's going to take standing up to Donald Trump, calling out greedy corporations, and stepping on some toes along the way.

The "crash of 2026" that has everyone panicking is barely visible when you look at the full picture. That's the thing about Bitcoin. Every dip feels like the end when you're in it, but this chart goes back to 2011 and every single one of those "it's over" moments just turned into a blip on the way up. Step back far enough and you're not looking at a volatile asset anymore. You're looking at a 15 year proof of concept that digital assets work. That value can be stored and transferred without a bank. That money can exist on the internet and hold its worth across borders, across crises, across every attempt to kill it. Bitcoin proved the idea. ✅ Now stablecoins are settling more volume than Visa. ✅ Tokenized securities are going live on Wall Street. ✅ Central banks are building digital currencies. None of that happens if this chart ever actually went to zero. But it didn't. It never did. The world already changed. Most people just haven't noticed yet.
The bitcoin crash of 2026, annotated for your convenience.
