GM, Buying no utility #AttentionToken's is like leveraged-hype trading You're speculating entrance and exit of the hype cycle will be good timing w/big gainz vs loss AT don't have utility, intrinsic value, tech features, or a dev team to improve it over time like @Stacks $STX

If the socialists had their way, Elon would have had his paypal profits taken and redistributed for the greater good. The world would never have seen Tesla, nor SpaceX. And the world wouldn't know it, because they were uncreated, and thus unseen. Imagine the companies that don't exist, because Washington destroyed them before they were born.

Replying to @stacy_muur
NIce breakdown Stacy, the self-custodial L1 timelock is what separates this from every other BTC yield narrative and its available on @Stacks

"DePix. The BRL-stablecoin on Liquid now accounts for roughly HALF of the network's transaction volume, powering remittance and merchant payment flows across Brazil" @StacksEndowment @muneeb @StacksLatam @b2pixorg
Liquid processed 1,163,119 transactions in Q1 2026. That's nearly 5x Q1 2025, a 72% jump over Q4 2025, and more volume in three months than the entire network processed in all of 2024. 15 consecutive months of growth. 🌊 Full Q1 report: blog.liquid.net/liquid-feder…

I don't care about stablecoin interest: protecting open source developers from prosecution because of what others do is the most important part of the Clarity act.

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.

OPEC is breaking up. Fracking turned OPEC's money-printer into a straitjacket. With America drinking their milkshake. A full breakup could drop gasoline prices below $2 a gallon.

“Largest energy crisis in history” as Europe and Asia ration fuel, cut power, and brace for riots. Meanwhile America’s ramping up oil production and driving the drop-top Mustang with A/C on full blast 🥳

Self-custody must be protected. The United States was founded on the principle of private property, and the seizure of assets is something we must guard against. At the @CFTC, that means protecting Americans’ ability to hold and control their own digital assets.

@grok please explain the Drift Protocol exploit and how the attack happened, and how USDC was involved.

➥ Imagine witnessing Bitcoin’s unmatched security model RWAs living natively on L2s and do nothing No more relying on Ethereum or Solana for yield when you can keep everything anchored to the hardest money on earth RWAs bring the real yield with such Treasuries, private credit, real estate, etc. while Bitcoin L2s deliver the trust-minimized rails It’s the ultimate marriage of TradFi stability and Bitcoin sovereignty I’ve been diving into the onchain data daily, and the growth is real. As of right now: - Tokenized RWAs excluding stablecoins surged 66% YTD to $23.6B by March 2026 - Then pushed past $27B onchain value by mid-March → tripling in a year - Tokenized Treasuries lead at $11.3B, accounted for 44.5% of market, with gold/commodities at $6.5B - Q1 tokenized treasuries/stocks 38% growth - HTX's 2026 White Paper calls it: RWA to $340B as institutions tokenize everything from soybeans to AI data centers But here's my edge: While $ETH hosts 57%, Bitcoin L2s are the sleeper hit - BTC's "digital gold" narrative L2 programmability unlocks trillions in dormant $BTC for yield - Now BTC earns 4-6% on tokenized Treasuries without leaving its security My Boots-on-Ground Top Protocols Picks: [1] sBTC on @Stacks just hit $292.4M - TVL That’s real BTC, pegged 1:1, moving trust-minimized into smart contracts with full Bitcoin finality - It’s the bridge that lets BTC actually work in DeFi without giving up its security - Dual Stacking is live, and yields are compounding in BTC terms - I’ve personally been bridging small amounts to test it, the UX is getting buttery smooth [2] @rootstock_io | $RSK - Pushing hard on the institutional side with regulated vault strategies and RWA tokenization rolling out in phases through 2026 - Their TVL sits around $98M-$160M, bringing idle BTC into structured products, I see this as the enterprise on-ramp [3] @Liquid_BTC | Bitcoin sidechain - Already shows $1.4B in tokenized RWAs, one of the highest concentrations outside the big EVM chains - It’s proof that BTC-native environments can handle serious real-asset volume [4] @SolvProtocol | $SolvBTC - Solv tokenizes BTC into SolvBTC with $1B TVL milestone, top 32 DeFi protocols - It's Bitcoin-native yield infra: liquid staking, vaults, xSolvBTC for structured products - Apollo Crypto (Australia's top institutional manager) is now multi-sig governor, targeting RWA/private credit/bonds on BTC L2s - Post-Drift hack, this is catnip for funds, 4-6% yields on tokenized assets without Solana-style multisig fails. [6] Stacks @VoltFiLabs: Gold-Backed Yield Pioneer - Stacks fueling VoltFi's first PAXG gold-backed vault. Deposit USDCx → PAXG → earn gold basis yield STX rewards - Zero accreditation, no bridges, pure BTC security. Stacks Labs (SIP-031) is pouring endowment into devs - This is BTC DeFi's missing piece: commodity exposure without gold storage headaches Broader Bitcoin L2 TVL has seen new entrants and expansion since 2024, even as some older sidechains stabilized Meanwhile, the overall RWA market sits at $21B active mcap with tokenized Treasuries and private credit leading the charge Bitcoin L2s are still early in this race, but they have the one thing others don’t: settlement finality backed by the entire Bitcoin hashpower
