  @AdamSimecka This is for the people falling victim to your drive by slop. Not for you because you are beyond saving Simecka: Michael Saylor would be an enormous stakeholder in a PoS system. In Bitcoin, however, he's primarily a holder who doesn't even self-custody, so his influence on consensus is limited. An economic node is an actor like @Bitrefill, @krakenfx, or any merchant, exchange, payment processor, or your own self-custody node that validates transactions and participates in the economy. Its significance is measured by the economic impact if it disappeared, not by the number of Bitcoin it owns. Running four nodes doesn't give you four votes. Owning 5 bitcoin doesn't give you 5 votes. But if you have a node that doesn't hold any bitcoin but routes 5000 transactions a day now that node is an economic node and would have an impact if it turned off. Bitcoin isn't governed by any single constituency. It is secured by proof of work, enforced by validating nodes, developed by contributors, and ultimately valued and adopted by the free market. Consensus only emerges when these groups broadly align. A minority in any one of them doesn't get to dictate the rules. Economic nodes are one constituency that must be convinced: not the only one. No single group gets to dictate Bitcoin's consensus. That's the entire point of rough consensus. If you fork off without meaningful economic support or miner support, your chain becomes vulnerable to 51% reorgs, struggles to attract sustained hash rate, and ultimately has to compete as a separate asset in the market. Markets decide which chain retains the Bitcoin ticker and economic value.

  Exactly! The endgame for crypto is people using it without knowing they are, it's going to be seemless! For years crypto felt like its own world. The setup was too hard, the UX was rough, and you had to understand too much before you could do anything. That will change with AI, and Crypto will become AI rails or regular infrastructure. In the future, people will simply ask for custom tools, workflows, payments, automations, identity checks, escrow, settlement, authentication, data access, ownership transfers, and agent-to-agent transactions. Under the hood, crypto rails get picked over legacy rails because they're cheaper for that kind of work. Anything that has to transact, verify, authenticate, settle, permission, coordinate, or move value can run on crypto infrastructure. Sure...cards are fine when a person buys a coffee but when software pay software at a fraction of a cent ,or when money has to move across borders at 3am, they're going to break So the future for crypto, won't be user thinking "I am using crypto." - They'll simply think "this just works." That's the main shift this cycle. Crypto stops being a product you have to learn and becomes plumbing that agents use to build and transact at a fraction of today's cost. So bet on infrastructure, bet on @inkonchain & @krakenfx!

  Imo, here's why Kraken pursuing a banking license makes institutional sense... @krakenfx is layering a regulated banking wrapper around its crypto business, to unlock deposit powers, payment rails, & institutional grade trust that exchanges cannot access. 3 reasons: -Deposit economics. Pure exchanges live on volatile trading fees. A banking license enables deposit taking, equalling a) cheaper funding, b) predictable revenue, and stickier relationships. Revolut's 2018 Lithuania license was foundational to scaling into a €40B+ business with diversified products. This reveals a similar playbook. -Access to tradfi rails. Fedwire, SWIFT, SEPA, ACH, direct central bank access require banking status. Kraken Financial (Wyoming SPDI) already secured a Fed master account in March 2026 (the first for a crypto-native firm). An EU banking license would deepen integration globally. Institutional treasuries and corporates routinely avoid moving meaningful capital via unlicensed exchanges due to risk/compliance/policy constraints. -RWA unlock. As tokenized bonds, equities, funds, & receivables scale, institutions demand regulated custody + banking-grade infrastructure for assets. Kraken has already moved aggressively: acquired Backed, listed RWAs, & built institutional offerings. A Lithuanian banking license removes an adoption blockade. Kraken appears to be executing a hybrid strategy: crypto infrastructure PLUS regulated banking (not abandonment of either).

  @PardonMyTake @krakenfx I can't believe I'm typing this, but shut down Mount Rushmore Season immediately. Jesus ******* Christ. Try again in a couple of years.

  Warning to Kraken users. My Kraken account was suddenly closed without notice, while I still have assets inside and no access to withdraw. Exchanges may review accounts, but suddenly closing an account without prior notice creates serious risks for users’ funds. @krakenfx

  Hey @krakenfx @krakenpro - @krakenpro - Nearly $1.5 million just disappeared from my account when I initiated VAULT. No explanation. Just new warning emails that a suspicious "withdrawal" was initiated and my account is now "restricted" with a zero balance. No reply from support in nearly 24 hours. And I'm I'm not allowed to call anyone. Not a single Vault email or explanation. Just a zero balance and "we have locked your account". This level of incompetence and ****** messaging is quite frankly unforgivable. If initiating a Vault scares the **** out of your customers, empties their portfolio, and then locks down their account for possible fraud, you are not qualified to continue remaining in custody of my money.

  You can’t outwork a failed system. Let’s not lie. THE REASON WE ARE NOT LANDING REMOTE JOBS SO EASILY IN THE TECH SPACE ANYMORE IS BECAUSE OF WHERE WE ARE FROM. Your rejection emails don’t even get to the HR. And if it does once they see you are from Nigeria, they don’t want to do anything with you IMMEDIATELY. Think I’m capping? I was supposed to land a job to join the ux team for @krakenfx that pays me at least $10,000 a month especially with my understanding of crypto and how my passion for their service. I went through their interview and passed the stages. They loved me. But guess what? They see I’m from Nigeria and boom, I don’t get it. They even said in mail “We encourage you to revisit opportunities with Kraken should your location change” Nigeria you are killing dreams !

  @krakenfx 10 days waiting on your support people/bots to update my email address. Security checks completed and still no access to my account. Come on it’s not that difficult. Just switch off your AI bots for a bit and get me sorted.
