I just dumped my entire $HYPE and $NEAR position, I will explain why in my essay "Reality Test" dropping next Tuesday. TLDR: - Higher energy prices due to Iran war and inventory restocking - 3 Mega AI IPOs between now and early Q3 - Prediction that Trump goes anti-AI to win

Yet another reason why @NEARProtocol needs to urgently build awareness in the US—@coingecko isn’t even classifying $near or @NEARProtocol as being “Made in USA” (even though the coin originally launched from the US, founders are ex @ycombinator and partners with @a16z ) To cause

Democracy is Near. @NEARProtocol : let’s make a major push (including on X where @elonmusk and others seek perspective) for Near to be the cornerstone of USA public technology. In these next weeks, major decisions will be made: time is of the essence. There are only a few

Set of blockchain steps that @DOGE should adopt immediately: - move all government contracts / payments onchain - add ability for anyone to comment on these contracts in decentralized way with ZK proof of US citizenship. - run all government RFP/grant processes as auctions

$TRUMP reaches $8B market cap within hours of launch. $NEAR market cap $6.2B after 5 years. $NEAR almost always tracks $SOL. $NEAR down 5% since $TRUMP launch. $SOL up 10% since $TRUMP launch. $TRUMP is a @solana memecoin. USA or Ghost Chain. @NEARProtocol @NEARFoundation

The incoming President of the United States just launched a meme coin days before his inauguration. The market cap is almost $8 billion in less than 3 hours, which nearly doubles Trump’s net worth. Financial markets are not ready for what is ahead — buckle up.

MUST READ for @ilblackdragon , @ChrisDoNEARvan , @daovid , and @kendaIIc . This is exactly why @NEARFoundation needs to build awareness with US investors. Near’s main narrative is “Blockchain for AI”, but I see Near nowhere among institutional investors when they refer to

This is going to be a big, long weekend for crypto, especially for the US. @NEARProtocol should make any big announcements it has today, as to not miss the party. See you on X this weekend. @NEARWEEK @NEARFoundation @ilblackdragon @jarednotjerry

$near unlocks virtually complete. Memecoins are becoming NFTs: it was fun while it lasted, only a few will survive. Trad-fi will push for substantive tokenomics, which @NEARFoundation has always pushed for. Time for tokens to mature. $near well positioned for prime time.

This is an exceptional post from @alex_scharrer who is grinding for @NEARProtocol to partner with institutional capital. This is EXACTLY what I and others have been hoping to see from @NEARFoundation . Thanks for hearing us out! Alex, there is so much good stuff in this post.

I appreciate @ilblackdragon and @NEARFoundation are fresh off a very busy week, including travel. For when senior folks get a breather, I am resurfacing the questions from this thread below on governance and resource allocation. I’m going to continue to post about it until the

Ok thanks for clarifying. This opens up a whole additional can of worms the community needs to get clear about. @ChrisDoNEARvan and @richardmuirhead , I assume you are best positioned to answer them: 1. Is @near_ai work being conducted under a different corporation than NF?

Is @NEARFoundation planning to help a US institutional investor submit an ETF application in the US for $near? If so, how quickly can this get done? If not, why not? Lean on @a16z for fast tracking. One phone call to @pmarca will get this in the express lane. @alex_scharrer

This top 5 list of dapps is a real point of credibility for @NEARProtocol . 1. Let’s make sure long term institutional capital knows this 2. @SweatEconomy , @CosmoseAI , and @hotdao_ (essentially via Telegram) all drew from large, existing web2 communities. That’s a playbook
