The American household saves 2.8% of what it takes home. One bitcoin costs about $78,000. Do that division. Thirty-four years of setting aside everything you set aside, for one coin, assuming the price never moves again. And that is before tax, so the real number is worse.

I fully support this. There’s no reason to operate in the old models when we’re in the digital era.

In only 6 months, AI has taken over 26% of Anthropics' R&D leading efforts. 🤯

A dollar can be divided into 100 cents. One bitcoin into 100M sats. Same principle, better divisibility.

A lot of people know @AlexIsBuilding as the founder of @bricktopians . I think the more interesting story is what he built around it. Bricktopians started back in 2021 as a 10,000-piece NFT collection built very differently from the typical PFP projects of that era. But Alex didn’t stop at the mint. While a lot of 2021 NFT projects slowly disappeared, he kept building, creating, teaching and bringing people together. And somewhere along the way, Bricktopians became more than an NFT collection. It became a creator community. Alex also built his own personal brand alongside it, consistently sharing what he was learning about X growth, AI businesses and building in public. He went from doing things like the 100 threads in 100 days challenge to becoming someone other builders could learn from. But what stands out to me most is what he did with that audience. He created a creator ecosystem where smaller creators could actually find opportunities. Through the creator agency and Bricktopians community, creators can get access to paid gigs, brand opportunities, feedback, workshops, ambassador roles and jobs. That matters because getting good at content is one thing. Getting your first brand deal when you don't have a massive following is another. For smaller creators, having someone open that door can completely change the trajectory. And I think that says a lot about Alex's journey. He didn't just grow Bricktopians. He grew himself, built an audience, and then created systems that allowed other people in that audience to grow too. That's a much harder thing to build than a successful NFT collection. Today, Bricktopians is still here while a huge part of its 2021 cohort has faded away. And the reason I think it has lasted isn't simply the art or the NFT. It's the people. It's the consistency. It's the opportunities. It's the decision to keep creating value even when the market stopped caring about NFTs. Bricktopians may have started with 10,000 characters. But the bigger thing Alex built was a network of creators helping each other move forward. And I'm still watching him cook. Big Ups to Alex

I’ve said many times that the CLARITY Act is essential to ensuring America wins the global race for new technology. That’s the reason Congress passed the GENIUS Act: to ensure that stablecoin infrastructure, a revolutionary financial technology, will be built in America. Ensuring that America’s community bank sector continues to thrive has been a constant focus of mine since day one. And the administration’s dual focus on enabling new digital technology to flourish and appropriately tailoring community bank regulation is key to both sectors driving U.S. economic growth together over the next several decades. The final draft of the CLARITY Act furthers this mission. It gives the Secretary of the Treasury additional authority to act if the facts around deposit flight change to the detriment of community banks. If stablecoins cause harm to community banks, I will not hesitate to use these tools to ensure they remain fully protected. Community banks are essential to U.S. economic performance and Main Street growth. Economic security is national security, and community banks play a major role in this principle.

Bitcoin solved digital scarcity. It did not solve access to one whole coin. At $77K, and eventually much higher, that becomes a real problem. WCS is my attempt to define what responsible whole coin financing should look like before Wall Street defines it for us. wcs.angarlo.com

“If the economy grows, but AI automates more tasks, more of each dollar might go to capital. This can happen even when wages for all workers rise substantially. If capital becomes more useful for more things, it will be in higher demand, which raises its price.” What do you think is the scarcest capital asset out there?

We truly underestimate what super intelligence might look like and how fast it will evolve.

Fiat is a broken system. Study it and escape with #Bitcoin.

Labor Day. At the US household saving rate, one bitcoin is 34 years of labor. Not 34 years of saving. 34 years of setting aside everything you manage to set aside. Nobody works 34 years for a house. They get a mortgage. I wrote the one that does not exist for bitcoin. nitter.net/Angarlo/status/2094805…

On track to become the largest one soon
