There’s a LOT of money sitting in Bitcoin. If people stop caring to speculate on it, they’ll look for another PoW to take its place. One that’s private and quantum resistant by design.

Exfil is his newest project. Economics vs FOMO Exfil charges 0.375% per side (0.75% round-trip) and splits every fee three ways: one-third returned to traders as EXFIL tokens, one-third used to buy and burn EXFIL, and one-third for operations. It has a token that shares upside via rebates and burns. FOMO charges ~0.50% per side (~1% round-trip on larger trades, higher effective rates on small Solana orders) and keeps essentially all fees (minus referral commissions). It has no token, so there is no shared ownership or buyback/burn mechanism for users.
Revolut is down today because of a Google Cloud outage in London (europe-west2). A power event in one availability zone knocked out multiple services. Revolut’s app, cards, and payments went offline (funds and data are safe). Other banks and services were hit too. Why didn’t multi-region or multi-cloud save them? They use Google Cloud heavily (multi-year partnership) and do multi-region for some workloads. But the critical path (auth, card authorization, payments) was still too dependent on the London region. When that region had issues, failover didn’t fully cover it. True active-active multi-region/multi-cloud for stateful banking systems is expensive and complex (data consistency, latency, compliance, testing). Many fintechs accept the residual risk until an incident forces the issue. Decentralized options like Akash $AKT can reduce single-provider risk in theory, but they don’t currently match the compliance, SLAs, and predictability banks need for production payments infrastructure.
Despite everything, being in crypto does make you more financially free than your average person who has to beg their bank to release their money.
What if Edel becomes THE tokenized stock marketplace on Canton? The market already values $CC at $5B. What will it value $EDEL as Canton continues to expand?
I’m ready for $CC szn, cycle bottom lining up with DTCC launch in ~30 days, coincidence? More like destiny. And @edeldotfinance picked the right chain to build on. Send base:0xfb31f85a8367210b2e4ed2360d2da9dc2d2ccc95 to $100m. https://t.co/Qj6OAnnuIX
$TAO has spent very little time below $200 this bear market. That tells us the demand is there. This bull market, we could finally see it in 4-digit territory. https://t.co/zp812TBfFt
