    Coinbase has gone from a crypto exchange to a piece of Wall Street’s infrastructure. A few years ago, institutions were avoiding crypto. Now they’re using Coinbase for custody, trading and access to the market. The companies building the rails are starting to look just as important as the assets themselves.

    @theallinpod @altcap Does no financial analyst ever think long term anymore? Is there no CFO in your group? I used to be an investment banker & before that a financial analyst. I swear quarterly thinking is a contagious If you have the CEO of coinbase, Uber & others saying “we’re going to cut anthropic spending by millions”, & the industry trend is routers to send employee work to cheaper or free open source AI models … what do you think happens to anthropic revenue? Go up? NO! When Claude now has a rep of stealing your co biz model and data, and pissing off every customer with reg capture of open source AI models, usable alternatives … what do you think happens to anthropic revenue? Go up? NO!

    @tednotlasso @coinbase @RobinhoodCrypto This is not uncommon. Our attempt to work with Conbase was one of the worst customer experiences we've ever had, and in this industry, that's really saying something. For a +$40b company, the levels of incompetence we faced (at literally every step) were astounding. Stay away.

    Crypto isn't just about moving money faster. It's also becoming a stronger tool for protecting users. Coinbase recently worked with Singapore authorities to help stop more than $4.2 million in potential crypto scam losses, safeguarding over 145 individuals before the funds were lost. #Crypto

  • GrassFedBitcoin
    Softfork Mechanic #BIP-110 (@GrassFedBitcoin) reported

    Why I think many who are less optimistic about BIP110 than I am are mistaken - The "Economic Node" concept. This emerged as a way to dismiss obviously frivolous nodes that get spun up in an effort to astroturf forks within Bitcoin. Very quickly during the fork wars people realized - "Hey, these nodes might not actually represent any real activity within the Bitcoin ecosystem, they're just there to warp the stats on node tracking websites and make something look like it has more support/opposition than it does." I will point out that that is *not* what has happened with BIP110/Knots in general - those are real people which @start9labs can attest to, having sold millions of dollars worth of servers to people over the last couple of years who overwhelmingly bought them in order to run Knots. That is not fake and is corroborated through various imperfect heuristics. However the point I want to make is that the most intimidating of economic nodes - i.e the ones run by mining behemoths like Antpool or exchanges like Coinbase - are not where anyone should look when attempting to gauge support for a soft fork - especially a controversial one. (At least not until very late in the day.) These nodes obviously represent a huge on-chain footprint, but conversely, they are run by companies who will be the last to take a stand on anything controversial as it has the potential to create drama for them over a decision that isn't theirs to make anyway. However the lesser economic nodes aren't concerned with that. They don't have legal/PR depts or shareholders who need to sign off on these things (or who will sue them if they do something "reckless". They can just adopt a new client if they think it's good for Bitcoin. When Bitcoin is in crisis mode with difficult decisions to make, the institutions are going to be the last to choose a direction and that is a *good* thing. Ideally soft forks to start as grassroots movements, and while the nodes indicating support for them may not be run by billion dollar mining empires/exchanges, as long as they represent real Bitcoiners, the change will be coming from the correct place - from those least likely to be under duress unlike large industry players who necessarily always would be.

    I think @coinbase and @RobinhoodApp leaning into prediction gambling is a horrible mistake. How are you claiming you’re the future of banking but then completely giving into a crowded gambling industry. Crypto already has a reputational issue, overcoming that by caving to easy gambling money is short sighted

    everybody buried the trenches this year. down 80% from the top, pump volumes dead, everyone swearing the degens all left for perps and never coming back. then two things ripped in the same two weeks and honestly? both told me exactly where this is going. first one, $ANSEM. some anon launches a coin named after him, sends him 650M of it. instead of dumping like anybody else would, he turns around and airdrops ~$7M of the fees back to the holders. said he "had to give the trenches a stimmy since pump refuses to." and just like that Solana launches hit an 80 day high off pure vibes. second one nobody saw coming at all. Robinhood, the stock app your uncle uses, built a whole chain. for tokenized stocks o. Wall Street rails, 24/7 equities onchain, clean compliant everything. and week one? the market ignored all of that and aped a cat coin. → Robinhood Chain went live July 1, Arbitrum L2, ETH for gas → CASHCAT ran past $170M. named after what Robinhood almost called the company lol → Uniswap on their chain did the 6th biggest 24h volume of ANY dex on ANY chain → their own CEO went from "you memecoin people missed the point" to "actually the chain works great for memes" in like five days here is what i actually think, no fluff: the trenches never died. they just move. the energy leaves wherever got too greedy and shows up on the newest rails with the freshest liquidity. 2024 it was Solana. right now it is a broker's L2 that was supposed to be for your Apple shares. that is the most 2026 thing i can imagine fr. TradFi builds the cleanest infra in the whole space and the culture turns it into a casino in 72 hours flat. and instead of fighting it the broker just goes "aight bet, lean in." now the real talk, cause i am not here to sell you a top: → the volume vs liquidity is hot potato math, not real demand → the chain barely made money week one, this is Robinhood buying customers, not printing yet → and it rhymes with BNB chain szn last year. that one fizzled and everyone rotated right back to Solana so trade the cat coins, don't marry them. but the bigger picture is the part most people gonna miss: → every broker is coming onchain now. Robinhood live, Kraken bought xStocks, Coinbase and ICE building their own → tokenized stocks and memecoins on the same chain is not an accident, it is a preview. one wallet, your Apple bag and your degen bag sitting side by side → and the money was never really the coins anyway. it is the tools. the scanners, the executors, the thing that gets you in and out before everybody else i have been building right here since before this had a name. chain 4663. not tweeting about it from the sidelines, actually in it. some of you screenshot this in 3 months. some of you already onchain and you know. not financial advice o. just telling you where the energy went, and where it is walking next.

    $TAO (Bittensor) Update: Decentralized AI Leader Still Printing Long-Term Alpha $TAO holding strong around $210–$215 zone after a rough correction from 2025 highs. While short-term choppy, the fundamentals are stacking harder than ever in the AI narrative.Why $TAO has massive upside:Real utility in decentralized ML: Subnets exploding (128+ active), generating actual revenue (~$43M in Q1 alone from AI usage). Venice AI subnet pulling serious API calls. This isn't hype — it's a marketplace for intelligence. Supply shock in motion: First halving already done (emissions cut in half). ~70% of supply staked. Institutional rails building fast — Grayscale/ Bitwise ETF filings, BitGo/Coinbase custody, Alchemy Pay fiat on-ramps. They built in ~24 months what BTC/ETH needed years for. TAO upgrades, validator proposals (Root Reborn), subnet growth, and full decentralization roadmap (18 months per co-founder). Builders are shipping. Technical setup: Consolidating near key support. Bullish divergence possible if BTC holds. Next legs higher on AI sector rotation. Trade idea: Accumulate dips under $210 for swings to $250–$300. Long-term believers loading for $500–$1000+ as decentralized AI captures real value (high conviction play, not financial advice).$TAO isn't just another AI coin — it's the subnet economy powering the future of intelligence. Still early.What’s your TAO price target for EOY? Bullish or waiting for cheaper entries? Drop it below DYOR / NFA. Let's discuss!

    The Garage That Made $28K in 6 Months: How 17-Year-Old Jake Broke the High School Finance Game September 2022. The Beginning of Manipulation Jake was 17 when he stumbled upon a YouTube video about Ethereum Mining. The channel was called "Passive Income Squad" (2.3M subscribers), and some guy in a black t-shirt was explaining Mac Minis like they were printing machines. "For $499, you get a machine that earns $400-600 a month. Pays for itself in a month," he said, showing a CoinMarketCap graph. Jake didn't sleep that night. He opened Excel and started calculating: • Mac Mini M1: $499 (officially, not sketchy) • Electricity per month per machine: $15-20 • Internet: already have it • Risk: 0 (or so he thought) By morning, he had a business plan scribbled on notebook paper. October 2022. First Purchase. $1,497 Up in Smoke (or so it seemed) Jake sold his old iPhone 11 Pro for $550, borrowed $250 from his best friend Marcus, and convinced his mom to "invest in her son" for $700. Mom agreed ("Okay, honey, but I'm watching the electric bill"). Three Mac Mini M1s arrived in three separate packages. Setup was fanatical: • macOS Monterey (clean install) • Downloaded minerOS—specialized OS for mining • Created wallets on Kraken and Coinbase • Launched the first Ethereum mining script at 23:47 The Numbers: First Month (November 2022) By month's end, his hashrate was 114 MH/s (megahashes per second). Modest, but honest. Hardware earnings: • $12.40 per day (with ETH ≈ $1,150) • $372 per month (minus $45 for electricity) • Net income: $327/month His classmate Brandon worked at Walmart that same month and made $840 total. Jake made that in just 2.5 months, while sleeping. For Jake, this was victory. December: The Moment of Truth. Crash and Burn (or not) Ethereum dropped to $900. Reddit and Twitter exploded: "It's over," "Crypto is dead," "Sell everything." Jake did the math: • At $900/ETH, his income dropped to $240/month • ROI on one machine: now 2.5 months instead of 1 He didn't panic. Instead, he bought two more machines. His friends thought he was insane. "You know, in war, when everyone's scared—that's the best time to buy weapons," he told his mom. Mom didn't understand the analogy but gave him another $500 anyway. January-February 2023: The Garage Expands ETH rebounded to $1,800. But it didn't matter—Jake was thinking long-term. By late February, he had: • 8 Mac Mini (total purchase price: $3,992) • Hashrate: 304 MH/s • Daily income: $33-40 (depending on network difficulty) • Monthly earnings: $990 minus $120 electricity = $870 net The garage started smelling like silicon and the future. March: When School Life Met Entrepreneurship His AP Economics teacher asked the class: "What business would you start at 17?" Half the class said: "Pizza delivery" or "Tutoring on Wyzant." Jake raised his hand: "I already did. I've got a farm of eight Mac Minis. I make $870 a month." The class laughed. The teacher raised an eyebrow but said nothing. During lunch, Kyle—a competitive programmer—approached him. "Seriously? $870 a month?" "Yeah." "That's... that's more than my dad makes at his part-time gig." By week's end, Kyle had two machines in his garage too. April-May: Exponential Growth Jake realized his limit wasn't money—it was physical garage space and electrical capacity. The mining farm required: • 12 kW of electricity (which triggered a call from the power company) • Constant ventilation (installed two industrial coolers for $300) • Heavy-duty shelving from Costco (3-tier metal racks, $180) • Extension cords, power strips, and surge protectors ($400) By late April: • 15 Mac Minis • Total investment: $7,485 • Hashrate: 570 MH/s • Daily income: $52-68 (network difficulty fluctuated) • Monthly income: $1,560 minus $185 electricity = $1,375 net He opened a separate checking account at Chase. Already had $4,100 in it. May: The Turning Point His older sister Olivia came home from college and saw the garage. "Jake, what the hell is this?" "It's my business." "You're making how much?" "About $1,400 a month." She didn't laugh. She Venmo'd him $500 the next day asking for equity. He gave her 5%. June: The Final Round. Garage Transformer Mode Two things happened in June: First: Ethereum dipped hard: From $1,800 to $1,200 per token Second: Jake didn't flinch. He bought SEVEN more machines. "It's simple logic," he told his mom. "When price is low, my dollar income stays stable, but I'm buying machines at a discount on electricity costs. This is a long game." By end of June, the garage looked like a server room. Final numbers for June: • 23 Mac Mini M1 (total cost: $11,477) • Hashrate: 874 MH/s • Daily income: $68-95 (depending on difficulty and ETH price) • Monthly income: $2,040 minus $276 electricity = $1,764 net Over 6 months, Jake made: $327 + $240 + $870 + $870 + $1,375 + $1,764 = $5,446 But this was just the beginning. By early July, he was already negotiating with an electrician to upgrade the main panel in the garage from 100 amps to 200 amps. Cost: $2,400. He paid in cash. July-September 2023: The Spoiler Three months later, his farm grew to 43 Mac Minis. Total earnings for the 6-month period: $28,147. In August: • He was invited to speak on a podcast called "Teen Millionaires" (they turned out to be ex-college kids, but the podcast had 50K listeners) • He received 47 DMs from other high school kids asking for advice In September: • Other juniors and seniors started showing up at his house asking: "How did you do this?" • He started charging $500 for "consulting sessions" • Made another $3,500 that month In October: • His farm made enough money for him to buy a new 16" MacBook Pro for $3,200 • He gifted his mom an iPhone 15 Pro Max • He put a down payment on a 2023 Tesla Model 3 (his dad co-signed) • He invested $5,000 in Kyle's crypto trading bot startup (it failed, but the lesson was worth it) In December: • He graduated high school early • He deferred his Stanford acceptance letter to run his operation full-time Meanwhile, Brandon—the kid who worked at Walmart? Still making $15/hour. The Real Timeline (Month by Month) October: 3 machines, 114 MH/s hashrate, $327 monthly net, $327 total earned November: 3 machines, 114 MH/s hashrate, $240 monthly net, $567 total earned December: 5 machines, 190 MH/s hashrate, $480 monthly net, $1,047 total earned January: 8 machines, 304 MH/s hashrate, $870 monthly net, $1,917 total earned February: 12 machines, 456 MH/s hashrate, $1,100 monthly net, $3,017 total earned March: 15 machines, 570 MH/s hashrate, $1,375 monthly net, $4,392 total earned April: 19 machines, 722 MH/s hashrate, $1,640 monthly net, $6,032 total earned May: 23 machines, 874 MH/s hashrate, $1,764 monthly net, $7,796 total earned June: 28 machines, 1,064 MH/s hashrate, $2,050 monthly net, $9,846 total earned The Lesson Nobody Talks About This isn't a story about "passive income" or "get rich quick." It's about: TimingJake bought when everyone was scared. When crypto Twitter was screaming about the apocalypse, he was filling his garage. LeverageHe used other people's money. Marcus's $250, mom's $700, sister's $500. He never went all-in with his own money. CompoundingEvery month's profit bought more machines. Each new machine generated more profit. Exponential growth. StubbornnessHe didn't sell when Elon tweeted about crypto. He didn't panic when Ethereum crashed. He held the line. MathHe actually did the calculations instead of dreaming. Excel spreadsheets. ROI calculations. Breakeven analysis. ScalingHe knew when to stop talking and start executing. No bragging at first. Just building. The Reality Check His friends played Fortnite. Jake built a power plant. His classmates scrolled TikTok. Jake had a Google Sheets spreadsheet tracking ROI by machine. His peers applied to colleges. Jake was negotiating with electricians. And by the time he turned 18, he'd made almost $30,000—more than his high school teacher made in a year. The scariest part? The only real risk he took was believing a YouTube video. Everything else was just: • Compound math • Electricity rates • Patience • Not panic-selling One Year Later (June 2024) Jake's farm now has 127 machines spread across two locations (garage + rented industrial unit). Monthly revenue: $8,400 Monthly expenses: $1,200 Net monthly profit: $7,200 He hired Kyle, Brandon, and Marcus to help maintain the operation. Pays them $2,000/month each. He's now advising other high school kids on their mining setups. Made an additional $15K from consulting fees. Stanford called asking when he'd be coming. He said: "Maybe. Let me see if I can 10x this first." His mom bought a new car. His dad stopped asking about college. And somewhere in the world, a 17-year-old just watched Jake's YouTube video and is calculating hashrates on Excel right now. The cycle continues. Plot Twist This story is MOSTLY fictional, but the economics? Those are 100% real. The principles Jake used—buying when scared, compounding returns, understanding opportunity cost—these are timeless. The only thing that changes is the asset. Last year it was crypto mining. This year it might be AI startups. Next year it could be something nobody has even heard of yet. The real lesson isn't about Mac Minis or Ethereum. It's about seeing an opportunity, doing the math, and having the guts to act when everyone else is frozen in fear. That's how teenagers become millionaires. Not by following the crowd. But by doing the opposite.

    Why is everyone talking about Robinhood so much? On July 1, they held “The World is Flat” event in London. But the real story was not simply that they announced a few new things. @RobinhoodApp launched its own Layer 2, Robinhood Chain, on public mainnet. It is built on Arbitrum infrastructure. This is actually the answer to why ARB has been rising lately. 100ms block time Infrastructure suitable for AI agents A structure focused on RWAs and financial products Uniswap is integrated as the main liquidity protocol. Chainlink provides the oracle and cross-chain infrastructure. Now do you understand a little better why tokens such as UNI and LINK have been rising recently? Names such as Alchemy, BitGo, Morpho, Lighter, and 1inch are also positioned across different parts of the ecosystem. One of the important parts is Stock Tokens. More than 90 stock and ETF-linked tokens, including NVIDIA, Apple, Google, and QQQ, are now available through Robinhood Wallet to eligible users across 120+ countries. They can be traded 24/7. They can be deposited into lending pools. They can be used as collateral to borrow or open positions. The figures shared while the chain was only one week old: 17M+ transactions Nearly 350K addresses Nearly $250M in protocol TVL $1B + in total DEX volume On some days, daily DEX volume reached the $560M level. Do not assume that all of this volume came from RWA demand. The first wave of hot money moved into memecoins, and tokens such as $CASHCAT significantly inflated the volume. Robinhood covering gas fees for the first 90 days is also supporting the activity. That is why the real measurement is not today. Once the 90-day incentive period ends; do users stay, does Stock Token liquidity grow, are RWAs actually used as collateral, do Robinhood’s existing users move onchain these are the things I will be watching. Because Robinhood’s advantage is not technology. It is distribution. A financial application with nearly 28 million customers across 38 countries can bring its users into DeFi without forcing them to download a separate crypto product. Stocks and ETFs on one side. Crypto, perpetuals, and prediction markets on the other. Its own chain connecting all of them in the middle. That is why I am not looking at Robinhood Chain as “just another company launching an L2.” Base brought Coinbase users onchain. Robinhood is trying to bring TradFi users onchain through tokenized stocks. If it succeeds, it does not have to become the next Solana. But there is one important fact: it has already pulled a serious amount of liquidity away from Solana. Being one of the largest distribution channels between TradFi and DeFi would be more than enough.

    Everyone thinks Kraken's new AI trade advisor is about making retail smarter. Wrong. It's about keeping you on the platform longer. Kraken just announced they're rebuilding their entire app around an AI assistant that'll "recommend trades" and "tailor investing tools" to your goals. Sounds helpful until you realize what problem this actually solves — for them, not you. The real game: exchanges are bleeding active users to Telegram trading bots and on-chain tools. Unibot did 46k ETH in fees last cycle. Banana Gun processed 2.1 billion in volume in six months. Retail doesn't need another centralized interface — they're already gone. So now every CEX is pivoting to "AI advisor" theatre. Coinbase rolled out similar stuff in March. Binance has had "strategy bots" for two years. None of it beat simply holding SOL from the 2023 bottom or rotating into AI tokens when the Nvidia earnings started printing in May. The ***** truth about AI trade recommendations: they're optimized for platform engagement metrics, not your P&L. More trades means more fees. Tailored tools means longer session times means better numbers for the Series Whatever pitch deck. Compare that to what actually works in Dubai — I've watched three separate groups tokenize buildings in Business Bay and JLT this year. Real contracts, real rental yield, real exit liquidity through secondary markets. No AI needed to tell you that 8 percent annual return in USDC beats timing altcoin pumps on 10x leverage. Kraken's CEO probably believes this helps users... but the incentive structure doesn't lie. You want alpha? Build systems that don't need you checking prices sixteen times a day. Am I being too cynical or is this exactly the UX trap it looks like?
