People still donāt realize what leverage a protocol has when it owns the creation and tracking of tokens across chains.
Everything is a coordinated shill.
They built:
The OFT standard which has a 90% marketshare for crosschain messages.
Which has resulted in:
OFTs being the standard.
Which allows them:
To now branch out and build financial products as offchain assets will use the OFT standard.
People shitting on blast forget that they were bullposting berachainā¦
Both ran the same bullshit playbook.
whatever happened to onchain identity ? Anyone still building in the space, why did past protocols fail?
such a good pod.

.@mickymalka is the founder of @RibbitCapital ā the firm behind Revolut, Robinhood, Nubank, Coinbase, and more.
He bought his first share of Berkshire Hathaway when he was 13, in Venezuela, with money he borrowed from his grandfather.
His grandfather charged him interest.
He started his first company at 17. In his mid-20s, he put every dollar he had into launching a bank in Brazil for the 50 million Brazilians nobody else would serve.
Micky is a quiet killer. Respected by the elite of the elite.
When I asked @patrick_oshag how heād describe Micky to someone who didnāt know him, he said: āHeās a mfing moneymaker.ā
Micky hates labels. The only label he wants is on his tombstone: āHe was a rebel.ā

This whole Bitcoin quantum FUD debate has one genuinely bullish takeaway.
The aspect of it being hard to change the BTC protocol, this is a feature not a bug.
Yes, the bitcoin (core) community 100% should wake up and implement something ASAP. The fact though that so many maxis are fighting for not changing BTC, is a positive note for the future of the protocol (if it survives).
Bitcoins resistance to change is what makes the 21m hardcap believable, if BTC were to be easily modifiable, that trust is diminished.

Bitcoin plebsā¦ AI has entered the Bitcoin chat. Agents are now running full nodes, holding keys, and transacting without banks, KYC, or permission. This isnāt sci-fi, itās economic agency.
Consider that for a moment?
