Robinhood, OpenAI, SpaceX, the media, the regulators. Everyone’s suddenly talking about tokenization.
But the convo is focused on “tokenized stocks.” Everyone’s missing 90% of the context.
I unpacked it. What did I miss?

Unpacked Trump’s AI ban in his BBB: states’ rights hypocrisy, taxpayer $$$ to a few contractors, crypto context, and Dems missing the bigger picture. Again.

Just dropped a 🎥: When @npr.org Gets Crypto Wrong, the Cost Isn’t a Mulligan, It’s GenZ
The point is that this is more than crypto.
It’s about the high cost to trusted journalism when MSM covers topics young people actually get, and the media gets it grossly wrong.

In 2020, young men backed Biden. In 2024, they swung 30 points to Trump.
#Crypto didn’t cause it, but explains it.
Dems shouldn’t embrace BigCrypto. But they do need to stop thinking crypto=Trump. And learn the tech if they want to win in 2026.

I love this!!
Been talking a lot about how crypto’s become a bellwether for our political dysfunction.
The recent SEC confirmation hearing was a perfect example:
– Both parties are broken
– China discourse is incoherent
– Congress = crypto soundbytes, not crypto policy
Here’s my 5-minute breakdown.
🚨Spoiler: The SEC backing down was mostly the right call on the legal facts, but don’t believe the companies’ talking points. The public is still losing, and the threat will go beyond #crypto.
🔹Is this a win for crypto? Sort of. But these weren’t strong cases to begin with, and that’s actually bad for the public.
🔹How should we interpret the SEC’s silence?
🔹What should we be watching out for next?
⚖️ Each day, we read about the SEC dropping another crypto lawsuit, and crypto companies taking victory laps. ✌️
As someone who is former SEC and formerly at one of these #BigCrypto companies, felt like a lot of context was missing. So I created a quick video to break it down.🍿 youtu.be/VF3klva_CmM
All the Natl Security v Free Speech discussion on the #TikTokBan feels like it’s missing the point.
Why aren’t we talking about how to stop the bots and digital IDs? #BigTech has us spinning our wheels on this academic issue.
Did you know that 97% of TikTok’s engagement is bot-driven?
Thanks so much, Josh! So glad to hear you liked it — means a lot coming from you!
Joined Trinity Chavez of NYSE TV to unpack the wild #TikTok and #SCOTUS saga. Comes with a bonus breakdown of #Trump's ban talk in 2020 to claiming he’s its savior in 2024.

I was in high school when Sen Feinstein became our senator. CA has always had a female senator in my adult life. When I was just a kid learning about government and Founding Fathers, I didn’t know that was possible.
Thank you for so very much, Sen Feinstein. ❤️🇺🇸🌉
Breaking news: U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein dies at 90. The California Democrat was one of the most influential figures on Capitol Hill.

“Is he going to throw the entire industry under the bus?” That may not fly in a court of law, but it could absolutely damage public perception of crypto at large.
Even with govt shutdown, SBF trial is going to have a lot to unpack.
If this isn't McCarthy's personal anthem on his off-again bromance with Freedom Caucus, don't know what is.

David Duchovny on the picket line holding a sign that says Writers Guild on Strike! The residuals are out there.
You love to see it.
Just heard de Santis called “tiny D” for the first time (on Pod Saves America). Now I can’t get it out of my head.
Am I the last person to know of this nickname? 🤦🏻♀️
Doubling-down on my earlier sentiment that crypto lawyers are the real winners in yesterday’s SEC v Ripple decision.
Loved chatting with Ben for his SF Examiner article on the decision. Highlights how much is unsettled despite the decision. A lot of ink and a lot of billable hours still to come.
Love this. Perfectly captures my default exasperation convo with friends these days.
This is the real reason I have 47,350 unread gmail messages and 1,459 unread texts.
Actress Jane Krakowski dressed in all white suit and fashionably perched fedora in a jailhouse, mockingly portraying a lawyer. The subtitle reads: “The law is 10% precedent and 90% wow.”
After a day with the SEC v Ripple “totality of the circumstances” decision, just want to say the quiet part out loud.
The real winners in the decision: crypto lawyers. Just crypto lawyers.
Fwiw @bsky.app some things that drive me bonkers re: Twitter’s feed these days:
🚫Flooded by business accounts. Ppl I follow aren’t even in my feed anymore!
🤮 force-feeding me accts I don’t follow. (Way better to have a tab: “because you liked/followed XX, you might also like…”). Let me choose!
I feel like I need a support group. Lol.
