“WAGMI” — we're all gonna make it — was crypto's 2021 rallying cry. But those with wealth and power knew it was a lie, and that “all” just meant them. My latest traces the last five years from hype to technoligarchy — and why they're not all gonna make it either.

This is one of the best newsletters you have sent out, offering a broad perspective on the decade so far with a scathing account of America's fall into authoritarianism where you position the crypto edge in a larger framework of its enablement.

@molly0xfff Indeed, what hnapelc said. Your latest newsletter is a brilliant summary of how we have gotten to where we're at through a crypto lens.

The year of technoligarchy

In 2025, Trump brought tech executives into power to dismantle regulators and write their own rules. But the instabilities they’re creating may be their downfall.

@molly0xfff Whenever I read about the rich fucking everybody else over I can’t resist sharing a pic of my favourite T-shirt.

Public health, intelligence services and our national security apparatus are being openly sabotaged.

That doesn't scream WAGMI.

@molly0xfff Bitcoin is for everybody. Anybody can participate. It holds promises for a better future (promises that admittedly could also come with another form of hard money). I certainly want, as one example, a future without permanent inflation. That said, a lot of douchebros have jumped in. These weasels may be the defining participants, which makes the whole promise of Bitcoin less, much less. We shall see what happens. But other coins are worse, as they are mostly Bitcoin affinity scams.

@molly0xfff Great article.

Your link: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/putin-indicated-russia-could-be-open-territory-swap-part-ukraine-deal-kommersant-2025-12-26/ - Wow - I didn't see this reported in the english-speaking news anywhere!
