🚨 SENATE BANKING COMMITTEE WILL VOTE ON THE CRYPTO MARKET STRUCTURE BILL ON JANUARY 15. This bill could change how crypto trades forever. The CLARITY Act is a market structure bill focused on one thing: stopping manipulation and bringing real transparency to crypto markets. What does it actually do? • Bans wash trading and fake volume • Criminalizes spoofing and front running • Gives regulators real time tools to monitor market abuse • Requires proof of reserves and regular audits for U.S. exchanges WHY THIS ACT IS IMPORTANT? Now look at what happened on October 10. That day, the crypto market saw $100 billion in real liquidations. Bitcoin and altcoins collapsed together. To this day, we don’t know exactly how it started, we don’t know which large entities blew up. There was no clear report, transparency or accountability. Since then, market crypto has behaved very weirdly. Almost every asset class outside crypto has rmade new highs. But in crypto, every pump gets fully sold, Good news leads to dumps and Bad news leads to even sharper dumps. This is not normal price action. This is exactly what the CLARITY Act targets. If rules for this are in place then large liquidations can’t happen quietly, market abuse becomes traceable and exchanges can’t hide fake volume or risk. It also changes who participates. Right now, institutions mostly hold Bitcoin only. They avoid altcoins because the rules are unclear. If the CLARITY Act passes regulatory risk will drop and institutions will start allocating to altcoins as well which could bring a massive liquidity. That’s why January 15 matters.

FRANKLIN TEMPLETON JUST CONNECTED AI AND CRYPTO IN A WAY THAT ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE This wasn’t some hype take. Franklin Templeton is an 80-year-old asset manager with around $1.5T under management, and they were very matter-of-fact about it. Their view is that crypto ends up being the economic layer for AI agents. If software is going to make decisions, move money, and operate nonstop, it needs rails that are always on. Legacy finance just isn’t built for that. They manage money for clients in over 150 countries. Markets don’t sleep anymore. Advice, execution, and settlement can’t either. That’s why they see crypto as infrastructure, not just an asset class. What stood out is how little this sounded like a “narrative.” They weren’t pitching AI tokens but they were talking about how their business actually works in a 24/7 world. When firms this old and this big start talking this way, it’s usually because the tech is no longer optional. It’s just the most practical solution. 💯

WALMART TO ACCEPT BITCOIN AND CRYPTO VIA ONEPAY CASH, CNBC REPORTS Retail giant Walmart is reportedly moving to accept cryptocurrency payments (including Bitcoin) through its fintech offshoot OnePay Cash, a major step toward mainstream crypto integration.

BlackRock's Larry Fink continues to emphasize one message: the future is tokenized. “Tokenization is probably the most important component in the evolution of the world’s financial plumbing.” The next era of finance is being built onchain.

it appears my brother @grantcardone has been properly orange pilled. I do not take sole credit for this, it took a group effort and him being introduced and communicated with the right people. we are so early peeps, you are watching the wrong news.....its not in the charts that are so relevant, its the moves being made by winners with very long and successful track records, listen carefully, verify everything and follow the few, not the many.

THROWBACK: WHEN FED’S GREENSPAN ACCIDENTALLY WENT BULLISH ON BITCOIN In 2017 he said: “The value of #Bitcoin can never be negative… it’s either zero or plus. And people will always value it a plus.” Price then: $12K Price now: ~10x higher 🚀 The same man who coined irrational exuberance basically admitted $BTC is the ultimate asymmetric bet: zero… or infinity.

In 2012, Saylor said the iPhone would become jewellery. He was right. Now he says #Bitcoin will become the foundation of global wealth.

This same sentiment is why most people don’t understand Bitcoin:

If you use a hardware wallet like iCoin with clear signing, you are not at risk. Clear signing always displays the destination address. Check the address before signing

Bitcoin: 40% CAGR. This is exceptional. Complete class of its own. Stocks, Gold, Real Estate are 7%-10% range. On par with M2 In 10 years, the CAGR drops to 23% Still exceptional, but you now have missed a 10x. In 20 Years, we are in the teens. You have missed a 100x.

More than 3 years ago I predicted the Fed would increase their inflation target rate. Today they did something even crazier — they completely removed a reference to any inflation target at all. The money printer is coming.
