Meat Stack (3/3)

I'm getting tired of watching the same scam patterns repeat in BTCFi. Every time the ecosystem gets any kind of funding or support, someone shows up trying to squeeze value out of people actually building. SIP-31 from @Stacks was already wild to me. Promise a fixed supply, then…

The NIL liquidity getting drained on Osmosis is a mess for everyone who was using @NolusProtocol or routing through the pool. But the good news is this isn't some protocol-level issue. It's one actor abusing both sides of the LP. Which means the fix is straightforward: rebuild…

There's nothing to clear up. Here are the facts: ➡️Core funded the product. ➡️Maple used the blueprint. ➡️Maple breached the agreements. ➡️A judge blocks syrupBTC since the evidence was incriminating. PS: $CORE holders don't negotiate with criminals. We let the court handle it.

Been watching @akka_finance closely on @Coredao_Org and I really feel like they have an airdrop lined up for the Core community. All these XP gains, AI agent upgrades, the cross-chain swaps.. it seems like they're setting the stage early. Wouldn't fade getting active now.

I think there’s a version of this argument that resonates, but not for the reasons people assume. When people say “supercycle,” they almost always mean “number go up.” That definition has never been useful for me. Price is the last surface-level artifact of much deeper…

On the day BTC tagged 81k and CT felt like a funeral, it was easy to forget what’s actually changing. We’re shifting from markets built for human fingertips to markets built for trillions of intelligent agents coordinating in real time: > Identity (ERC-8004) records provenance.…

AI safety has a slippery slope problem. It starts with: 1. “No WMDs.” Totally reasonable. Everyone agrees. Then it mutates into: 2) “No porn.” Now we’re policing morality, not risk. Then it creeps into: 3) “I can’t analyze your gym photo - might encourage body dysmorphia.”…

Neobanks opened the door to digital finance, but they never escaped geography. Most still depend on domestic rails, fixed corridors, and slow settlement windows. Crypto breaks that constraint. > x402 routes value across borders with the exact same logic it uses inside a single…

Another day, another protocol spinning up on $CORE. #Coretoshis who like to stay early might want to look into @magni_finance's testnet launch while everything's fresh. Free interactions never hurt nobody, especially on a chain where devs are known to be generous. I'd…

What if I told you one of the biggest upgrades happening for @Cardano right now isn't coming from the main chain at all, but from the work @ApexFusion is pushing with @skyline_bridge. They've rolled out cross-chain $ADA swaps through Skyline, native staking with instant…

$CORE The recent price action has been rough for anyone holding, but it really feels like the chart finally tapped its bottom. I ended up adding more to my stack today. Any Coretoshis still here or did everyone paperhand the second it dipped?

Saw three different teams on my timeline today all joining the @ventures_core BTCFi Accelerator. @magni_finance, @evenicefi and @Mintware_org. All of them got picked up around the same time. Magni is building around BTCFi tools, Venice is focused on liquidity flow, and…

Depressed markets are the only time you can see which systems earn their keep. When everything turns red, speculation evaporates instantly. What doesn’t evaporate is the work decentralized networks are economically obligated to perform: > Storage networks still store because…

Not saying this is for everyone, but after today I'm genuinely shifting a chunk of my stack. I watched $ZEC wake the privacy lane… but $NIL straight up outperformed everything in sight. I'm betting its mcap doesn't stay this tiny for long. 200–400M is lightwork.

Privacy.

Markets rarely reward enthusiasm. They reward necessity. AI capex pushing toward hundreds of billions a year turned high-intensity compute into a non-negotiable item. Once something becomes mandatory for intelligence at scale, capital stops treating it like a bet. The same…

The easiest way to read crypto infra now is to follow where fees accrue around intelligence, not speculation. Who earns when models run, data moves, and GPUs light up? That’s where the flywheels form. Better intelligence → better builders → stronger loops → real moats.

Equities → AI → crypto is now a predictable rotation. Not because these rotations are driven by hype, but by the limitations each system runs into: > Equities price incumbents. They move at the speed of mature businesses and quarterly reporting cycles. > AI consumes every…

Feels like something Vitalik will pick up in one of his blogposts soon. Nillion bringing private compute onto Ethereum next year lines up with everything he's been thinking about on trustless privacy. Tagging @VitalikButerin here just in case this one slips past him.

Some of y'all panic on a 10% move like $CORE suddenly stopped running one of the cleanest $BTC yield systems in the entire market. Relax. This chain is 2 yrs old and already pays out more real, collateral-backed rewards than networks 10x its size. It's not going anywhere.
