One of the more fascinating parts of my conversation with Caitlin Long 🔑⚡️🟠 was on Ethereum winning the tokenization battle: " Thomas (Tom) Lee (not drummer) FundstratDirect.com is one of the famous $ETH bulls and his theory is big institutions ... are going to pick Ethereum and a lot of that is coming true"

Before DHS called Renee Good a “domestic terrorist” to justify the government shooting her, they did the same exact thing in Chicago A Border Patrol shot Marimar Martinez 5 times and they called her a “domestic terrorist,” too. Charges were dropped. Do you not see the pattern?

I used to work at CNBC and Yahoo Finance. I keep getting hit up by very smart former co-workers asking me about tokenized stocks I also interviewed Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev on my show a day after the GameStop meltdown in 2021 His CNBC interview with Becky Quick Andrew Ross Sorkin and Joe Kernen was fascinating. He stretched the truth a little (as all good founders do) — but the simplest way to think how tokenized stocks are about to revolutionize equities is to look at the example of stablecoins and dollars. If you're in America, dollars are dollars. If you're outside America, stablecoins are a digital wrapper that give you access to dollars. If you're in America, stocks are stocks. If you're outside America, tokenized stocks are a digital wrapper that give you access to the underlying stock. The unlocks for both are far more revolutionary for people outside the US — but are still important for US investors, and Americans. Put simply, it shifts out the demand curve for both dollars (really US Treasuries) and U.S. equities, which could be rather huge from a macro perspective. While Vlad is correct that T+2 settlement was a trigger for why Robinhood and other brokerages halted trading on $GME, $AMC and other meme stocks — it's pretty obvious that tokenized stocks also introduce new fault points for market failures. In general, one thing is absolutely true — even if you don't hold crypto you are now exposed to many of the risks, which will inevitably end in more money printing and bailouts. So you might as well be allocated to $BTC to hedge the value of the dollar continuing to decline in real terms. The trojan horse is inside the gates.

Maybe I'm naïve to think that crypto really still can create a better financial system that works for everyone But as I discussed with Anthony Scaramucci, it would be even more naïve for anyone to still believe in the politicians and system of today that keeps failing America 🇺🇸 ⬇️

As a first-time founder building Coinage ♻️ over the last few years, I've learned some lessons: - Never make the same mistake twice - Don't be afraid to admit you're wrong (but understand why you were) For three years, I avoided launching a token. The economics weren't sustainable and didn't allow for much of anything outside of speculation, given you could only buy, hold, or sell. Rather than just having a token, our thesis was figuring out a legal way to let people come together to co-own our media outlet at Coinage would be paramount. I did not want to invite people into another Mexican stand-off against people who were earlier than them or have anyone dumped on. I know people think NFTs came and went, but we committed the last 3 years to figuring out how they could be used to enable legitimate co-ownership via an onchain DAO/Co-op here in the US. And we cracked the code. After establishing that, $zora came along. Their model corrected for a lot of the problems I had with memecoins of the past. Then Coinbase 🛡️ leaned into supporting Base builders like Zora. It became clear times had changed. Tokens had become more liquid, standardized, and served as an easier onramp to community than NFTs. But that doesn't mean NFTs didn't matter. They just had to be used right. I actually think the most successful projects are going to be the ones who understand out how to use one correctly to compliment the other. A token without community is worthless. A community without shared ownership isn't a community. At ETHDenver 🏔🦬🦄 this year, I had the privilege of giving a talk on why we used NFTs to set up Coinage ♻️ as the first community-owned media outlet built on Ethereum. We did so for the same reason I first got into Ethereum: Decentralized ownership matters. Watch it and you'll understand the work that went into setting up $COINAGE for the long haul:

Is Gold trading like a prediction market on the downfall of America? 🇺🇸 Even Peter Schiff paints a scary picture on Gold's surge: "It's good that we're right ... but it's not really something that you want to celebrate, because we're really celebrating an economic disaster."
