Probably the most important interview I have done
Replying to @MustStopMurad
@MustStopMurad sat down with The Block at @token2049. Topics included: • Can anything flip Doge? • Why AI agents will make short-term trading unwinnable for humans. • The “fat movement thesis”: why attention alone can’t build a $1T memecoin. • Why “wealth redistribution assets” like BTC, GME, and SPX6900 don’t need revenue.

Did you know that Michael Saylor orange-pilled Anthony Scaramucci on Bitcoin. @Scaramucci recalls meeting @saylor in 2020 after @Strategy made headlines converting its treasury into $BTC. "He's really one of the smartest people I've ever met in my life." Scaramucci then went about making ‘6-figure’ Bitcoin purchases for @SkyBridge clients. His take on Strategy: 👇 People should do more homework on the "fortress balance sheet" 👇 Saylor is "going to be right" 👇 Short-termers may be disappointed, but four or five-year holders will be "incredibly well rewarded"

"The only way to make the dividend a non-event is to pay it every single day, so that became the north star." @ColeMacro explains how @Strive pioneered daily dividend payouts for $SATA following conversations with @Nasdaq about their dividend payout rules.

Incredibly bullish on stablecoins. ~$5T of global commerce could be driven by agents by 2030. Stablecoins are the best payment method for agentic finance (AiFi) because agents need instant, global, real time settlement, including for small amounts. We've built the infrastructure to support this at: coinbase.com/developer-platf…

New @coinbase + @TheBlockCo report is a banger. Stablecoins move $400M+ every hour, 24/7. That adds up to $891B in Q3 2026 (adjusted for bots, exchanges and DeFi), up 4x+ from $216B in Q1 2023. Keep that pace and volume hits ~$1.5T a quarter by end of 2027. Addresses also on the risk with 293M addresses - more than Amex and Discover’s combined card base.

Your life doesn’t run on banking hours, your money shouldn’t either. Stablecoins already meet that bar – with most volume moving on nights, weekends and holidays. 73% of volume to be exact. And that’s just one of the findings from our new research with @TheBlockCo ↓

AMC CEO: "Robinhood should ceast and desist offering tokenized AMC stocks." Vlad Tenev: "What's the concern?" I asked @RobinhoodApp head of crypto @JohannKerbrat to unpack AMC CEO's public critique of Robinhood tokenizing stocks. Here's my hot take: the future of markets is onchain - and we don't need permission to do it.
