Vlad, how can you be so right about so many Bitcoin topics? Well, I’m glad you asked. I have 3 simple principles: 1. I look up to the builders, the visionaries & the guys I consider smarter than me. Not those who have been historically right, not the narrative gatekeepers. The guys who want Bitcoin to do everything and have a plan to make it happen. 2. I don’t care about what the others think. The high priests of the church of maximalism, the plebs, the pseudo celebrities like Max Keiser and the consensus craftsmen like Greg Maxwell or Mr. Hodl. I do my own thing without caring about public perception or whatever. 3. I always assume that I might be wrong and prepare accordingly. You can call me out for not having enough conviction, I don’t care. I’m here to breathe fresh air, not smell brainfarts in the same room philosophizing about their purity. This means sometimes I have to leave the room and take a look (and a sniff) from outside.

Vlad Tenev is an absolute GOAT. He doesn't dismiss memecoins - he embraces them. Most corporate teams would say their focus is on RWA, Institutions and etc. Vlad understands that degens have a ton of money and drive real volume, so he doesn't turn his back on them. I still think the Robinhood chain has a bright future with this approach.

Vladimir Putin has signed a new law that increases restrictions on VPN services in Russia. VPNs are often used to access blocked websites and protect online privacy. Russia has regulated VPNs for several years, but the new measures give authorities stronger control over internet access and censorship. The government says the law aims to improve cybersecurity and protect national stability, but peopple say is just another step toward tighter control of information and reduced internet freedom. Russia is expanding its “sovereign internet” system, which allows closer monitoring and filtering of online traffic. As a result, many VPN services have become slower, blocked, or unreliable.
