I am writing today's dispatch from Prague Airport, on my way back to Blighty.What a splendid city Prague is, and what a lovely bunch the Czechs are.It feels like this is still very much a high-trust society. Twice I left my bag in public places – full of very nickable laptop, passport and other gubbins – and both times I came back to find my bag untouched, but safely put to one side. At night the city felt safe. It was very clean – I actually started looking out for litter and I couldn't see any anywhere, whether in the centre or the suburbs, where I was staying. I always think litter – or lack thereof – is a good indicator of how much people really care about their surroundings, how loyal to and invested in their area they feel, and, indeed, how well brought up they are.The Czechs were lovely: polite, hard-working, respectful, full of ambition and drive, and good looking.The story is that Hitler went to university in Prague and loved the place that so much that, when the Nazis invaded in 1939, he ordered that the city should not be bombed but preserved. I heard the story last time I was here, and heard it again this time. But then I just fact-checked this story and apparently it is total rollocks - Hitler never went to university anywhere, nor did he visit Prague. Perhaps the city survived because the Czechs decided not put up any resistance, so the Nazis went unopposed, which meant they didn't need to bomb anything.In any case, the city is preserved and you can feel the history as you stroll about the stunning centre. It makes you cry for all the cities that did get flattened in WWII and the memories that disappeared with them.The food was lovely. So was the beer. I even had a couple. All in all, travel, board and lodging cost half of what they do in London, I'd say, at a guess.Just as I did last time I was here, I came away enamoured with the place, feeling that I must come back soon.As for the conference itself, BTC Prague, there were a few GenXers and Boomers – including my new friends Larry Lepard (check out his book), James Lavish (check out his fund) and George Bodine (check out his art) – as well as myself – but 85%+ of attendees were under 50, I'd say, with a large chunk under 30.If you are young, starting out and wondering what to do, I would urge you to get involved with the Bitcoin movement. There are so many different ways to do so, depending on where your talents, skills or interests lie. You can be artist, scientist or journalist, engineer, entrepreneur, traveller or surfer-dude. It really doesn't matter. You'll find a path that suits you. It all feels so dynamic and full of opportunity. It's brim full of doers. Everyone is so supportive. There is plenty of capital to invest. You can make quick progress.Another thing to note: there are a lot of extremely clever people in this movement. Average IQ levels in Bitcoin are, I've little doubt, much higher than you typically find elsewhere.Conversation, naturally, was dominated with talk of the bitcoin treasury companies, and the incredible price action we are seeing there. To use the baseball analogy, which innings of 9 are we in? I generally made the case that we are in perhaps 5 or 6, with Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) in 2020 having been innings one. Some of the old-timers - who, it has to be said, have missed this particular wave - dismissed it as the ICO or DEFI craze of this cycle. They may have a point.But James Van Straten, the bright young mind behind the transformation of Coinsilium (AQUIS:COIN), told me in no uncertain terms that, as far as the UK is concerned, ball one of innings one has only just be thrown. There is £1.2 trillion of capital in UK pensions and ISAs and, thanks to the FCAs anti-bitcoin rulings, several years of pent-up demand. We shall see.What's different between this and ICO/DeFi madness is that the bitcoin treasury companies are holding something real and strong, while the narrative is only just getting going.People were very kind about my presentation, and I got asked to do a second one the following day, which I hurriedly wrote. I'll share both with you as soon as I get the vids, but my main arguments were:* With the changing nature of the global workforce, the rise of the gig and freelance worker, especially the digital nomad (billions of people will soon be on the move), demand for borderless money and portable wealth is inevitably going to grow.* Save strong currencies; spend weak ones.* By investing in bitcoin (the currency), you benefit from the cumulative, combined IQ of everyone involved in Bitcoin (the movement).* With such extraordinary potential, the risk is not so much owning bitcoin as not owning it.As you would expect from someone with my chequered past, I threw in lots of jokes as well.Join this amazing movement.But the main event was the Michael Saylor presentation on Saturday afternoon.My goodness me, the 60-year-old former aerospace engineer has become a rock star. He was mobbed. He stood there in the entrance hall, patiently smiling for 90 minutes, with a circle of people around him 10-deep, all wanting selfies. The frenzy did not relent, and eventually his bodyguards had to usher him away so he could prepare for his presentation.That same presentation will no doubt be doing the rounds on the internet over the next few days, and I urge you to watch it, but I will summarise his main points here.Saylor, his usual intense, charismatic self, first observed just how far bitcoin has come over the past 12 months. Up about 70%, it has, yet again, outperformed gold, bonds, stocks and real estate. The White House has said it wants to make the US the bitcoin capital of the world. The new US administration is extremely pro-bitcoin – he went through the key players one by one. With the ETFs and increasing institutional adoption, bitcoin is altogether more normalised and legit.He spoke about how he wished he had got involved in 2013, when he first heard about bitcoin, rather than in 2020, but he also made the point that bitcoin still only makes up less than 1% of global capital and that this share will inevitably grow. 99% of global capital doesn't know about it yet and so, even buying now, you're ahead of 99% of capital.Then he began to speak about where this growing monetary network is going. Bitcoin will continue to outperform stocks, gold, bonds and real estate, as it inevitably grows to occupy a larger slice of the global capital pie. Twenty-one years from now, it's going to be $21 million a coin, he said. There is, therefore, an opportunity to change the destiny of your family for generations to come. You create the future, he said.To deal with the drawdowns and the crypto winters, be like a seasick sailor: keep your eyes on the horizon. On the bigger picture. Saylor outlined several strategies to grow your bitcoin position and showed how rich each would make you in 21 years. The lowest-risk method is to dollar cost average (DCA) – buy a set amount each month and each year. But to increase your gains, use leverage. Use it wisely of course: keep interest payments low, fixed and long duration. Otherwise, you risk debt servitude and will end up with nothing.The principle is to borrow weak currencies, which lose value, and use the money to buy the strongest currency of the lot, which will inevitably gain in value. The gains you make will be extraordinary.I urge you to watch the presentation when it comes out, as he details the different strategies – and then shows the different outcomes.Using:* DCA* Leverage* DCA + leverage* In the case of companies, issuing stock to buy bitcoin* Issuing stock and using DCA + leverageIt will turn you into a total bitcoin head, I guarantee.But that's all for today.I'll be back mid-week with more commentary. I'm attending Swen Lorenz's Weird Sh1t Investing Conference on Tuesday so there will no doubt be lots of good ideas in there. I'll also update you on my conversation the day before yesterday with Eric Semler, Chairman of bitcoin treasury company, Semlar Scientific (NASDQ:SMLR). Semlar has been eclipsed in performance by the (once) smallcap UK bitcoin treasury companies - Smarter Web Company (AQUIS:SWC), Consillium (AQIS:COIN) and Helium Ventures (AQUIS:HEV.PL), but it is lower risk and better value given it is trading at the actual value of its bitcoin holdings and looks set to enjoy a decent run should bitcoin catch a bid.If you enjoyed this article, please like, share - all that stuff.

Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, we're joined by Hyperliquid founder Jeff Yan, the quiet powerhouse behind DeFi's fastest-growing exchange. With 75% of onchain perp volume, no VC money, and a $1B airdrop, Hyperliquid is rewriting what crypto protocols can be. We dive into Jeff's minimalist strategy, the cancel wars with toxic flow, and the JellyJelly controversy that sparked a feud with CZ. Plus: HIP-3 and the future of permissionless perps, SPAC-style hype vehicles taking over Wall Street, and why stablecoin regulation just triggered a 40% rally in Circle stock. Is crypto evolving—or just getting financialized to death?

Join us today and we make nice with the future overlords and get pumped about where Bitcoin could be heading on episode #779 of The Bad Crypto Podcast. Show notes Cryptocurrency News: Senate passes stablecoin bill, turning focus to House | The Block The U.S. Senate has passed the GENIUS Act, the first major federal legislation to regulate stablecoins, requiring them to be fully backed by liquid assets and imposing audit and transparency standards. The bill, which received bipartisan support, now shifts to the House for consideration and is seen as a pivotal step toward legitimizing the crypto industry and cementing U.S. dollar dominance in digital assets. Despite this progress, concerns remain over potential conflicts of interest and the adequacy of consumer protections, particularly regarding anti-money laundering and corporate issuance provisions. How to legally stake crypto in 2025: What is now allowed after the SEC’s latest move The SEC’s 2025 guidelines confirm that solo, delegated, and custodial staking directly tied to network consensus are not securities offerings. Staking rewards are treated as service compensation, not investment returns. However, yield farming and staking-like lending schemes remain regulated as securities. JPMorgan, SEC meet to discuss capital markets moving onchain JPMorgan executives met with the SEC’s Crypto Task Force to discuss the regulatory implications and potential impacts of traditional capital markets migrating to public blockchains, including how existing financial models might change and how to assess associated risks and benefits123. The discussions also covered JPMorgan’s current digital asset initiatives, such as its digital platform for repurchase agreements and the launch of its new deposit token, JPMD, on Coinbase’s Base blockchain123. JPMorgan emphasized that deposit tokens like JPMD, which are fully backed by bank deposits, offer a more scalable and institution-friendly alternative to stablecoins, with no immediate plans to launch a stablecoin themselves123. Cointelegraph joins forces with Nansen to boost crypto journalism with onchain data Cointelegraph has partnered with Nansen, a leading onchain analytics platform, to integrate real-time blockchain data and AI-powered insights into its news coverage, research, and social media content1. This collaboration aims to enhance the quality and transparency of crypto journalism by providing readers with actionable, data-driven intelligence on DeFi, Web3, and market trends1. The partnership marks a significant step toward more informed and credible reporting in the crypto industry, leveraging Nansen’s advanced analytics across Cointelegraph’s global newsroom1. Report: Justin Sun’s Tron Aims for Nasdaq Listing in High-Stakes Merger Deal Justin Sun’s Tron is set to go public on Nasdaq through a reverse merger with SRM Entertainment, a toy and merchandise company, in a deal valued up to $210 million that will see SRM rebranded as Tron Inc. and Sun serve as an advisor123. The transaction, orchestrated by Dominari Securities with close ties to the Trump family, involves SRM raising $100 million to acquire TRX tokens for its treasury, following a pause in SEC investigations into Sun34. This marks a significant move for Tron and highlights shifting U.S. regulatory attitudes toward crypto firms entering public markets through unconventional means45. The Legal Personhood of Decentralized Systems Decentralized systems like DAOs face major challenges fitting into global legal frameworks, as existing laws often treat them as general partnerships, exposing members to unlimited liability and tax risks if no formal structure is established. Several legal solutions have been proposed, such as Wyoming’s DUNA, the BORG framework, and blockchain-native governance models, but each has significant limitations and often cannot accommodate complex, real-world assets or operational needs. DUNAs, while offering a nonprofit legal wrapper, are criticized for being technology-specific and potentially allowing profit-like activities under a nonprofit label, raising regulatory and compliance concerns. Other frameworks, like BORGs and Q blockchain, are more technology-neutral but struggle with practical issues such as asset custody, compliance, and the ability to interact with traditional financial systems. The article suggests that some proposals may be motivated by large investors seeking to limit their own liability, rather than providing comprehensive solutions for the broader DAO ecosystem.
