President Trump just hosted the GENIUS Act ceremony at the White House.

One by one, Trump and Sacks delivered major announcements and clues on what's coming next—directly to the American people.

Here's everything you should know (the behind-the-scenes details are incredible):🧵 Image
1/ The Legislative Rescue Operation

Just 48 hours ago, media declared the GENIUS Act "dead."

Trump's late-night vote count:

3:00 AM: 9 votes short
3:30 AM: 4 votes short
4:00 AM: "We were in good shape"

@DavidSacks called it the most dramatic legislative save in modern history.
2/ The Record-Breaking Standoff

House Republicans staged unprecedented resistance:

• 10-hour vote held open (breaking modern records)
• 13 GOP holdouts initially blocked the bill
• Trump summoned 11 rebels to Oval Office
• Personal intervention secured their votes
3/ The Dollar Dominance Strategy

GENIUS Act creates financial warfare through technology:

• Stablecoins backed 1:1 with US dollars/Treasury bills
• Transactions settle in seconds vs weeks
• Every digital payment strengthens American financial power
• "21st century upgrade" to decades-old system
4/ The BRICS Counterstrike

Trump's tariff threats delivered immediate results:

• 10% tariff on countries "aligning with anti-American BRICS policies"
• Previously threatened 100% tariffs for dollar replacement
• BRICS meeting attendance collapsed: "almost nobody showed up"
5/ The Crypto Industry Transformation

From persecution to partnership in 6 months:

• Biden era: Crypto founders arrested, industry under assault
• Trump Day 1: Fired SEC Chair Gary Gensler (biggest campaign applause)
• Ended Operation Choke Point 2.0
• Pardoned Ross Ulbricht (crypto martyr)
6/ The Economic Impact Scale

@DavidSacks' Treasury projections:

• "Trillions of dollars" in new Treasury demand
• $250 billion stablecoin market now regulated
• Banks/credit unions can issue their own stablecoins
• Strengthens dollar's 58% global reserve dominance
7/ The Industry Validation

Crypto leaders present at signing:

• @brian_armstrong (Coinbase)
• @DavidLRipley (Kraken)
• @jerallaire (Circle)
• Ryan McInerney (Visa)
• @chrispavlovski (Rumble)
• @vladtenev (Robinhood)
• @tyler and @cameron (Gemini)
• @paoloardoino (Tether)

Trump: "You've made our dollar look really good and strong and powerful."
8/ The Technology Revolution

Payment system transformation:

• Current system: Weeks to clear international payments
• New system: Seconds for transaction settlement
• Updates financial backbone "decades out of date"
• Creates new "payment rails" for global economy
9/ The Global Financial Reset

Trump's warning to competing currencies:

"If we lost that [reserve currency status], that would be like losing a world war."

The BRICS threat neutralized:

• Dollar remains world's primary reserve currency
• Digital transactions now flow through US-backed system
• America extends financial dominance into cyberspace
10/ The "Crypto Capital" Strategy

Next legislative priorities announced:

• CLARITY Act for broader crypto market structure
• Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act (bans federal digital currency)
• Both heading to Senate after House passage
• Complete regulatory framework by year-endImage
11/ Why This All Matters

This solves America's long-term financial dominance problem:

• China and BRICS were gaining ground with alternative payment systems
• US financial infrastructure was decades behind technologically
• Now every blockchain transaction strengthens the dollar
• America just made itself the default financial operating system of the internet

Scientists tracked 25,315 women for 25 years.

Those who followed one eating pattern had 23% lower risk of dying from anything.

Not a fad. Not restriction. A 4,000-year-old diet backed by the largest nutrition trial ever run.

Here's exactly what I'd eat (and avoid): 🧵
1/ The pattern: Mediterranean diet

But not the watered-down version you see in magazines.

The real protocol is built on one core principle:

Reduce chronic inflammation, the silent driver behind heart disease, cancer, and early death. Image
2/ The proof: PREDIMED trial.

7,447 high-risk adults. 4.8 years. Three groups:

• Mediterranean + extra virgin olive oil
• Mediterranean + nuts
• Standard low-fat diet (control)

Results: Mediterranean groups had ~30% fewer heart attacks, strokes, and cardiovascular deaths. Image

Andrew Huberman found something that gives him more peace than cold plunges, meditation, or any protocol he's ever shared.

He does it every morning. Sometimes in the middle of the night.

Most scientists won't talk about it publicly.

Here's what it is: 🧵 Image
Image
Prayer.

Every single night, @hubermanlab gets on his knees beside his bed.

"Like an old kid in a movie," he says.

But the science behind why this works is anything but childish.
Here's his exact routine:

First, @hubermanlab prays for other people.

Then he sits in silence. Listening.

Then he prays for his own challenges. Not for solutions. For strength to face them.

Finally, gratitude. Then sleep.

The real reason some people have unbreakable willpower…

Isn't discipline.

It's a brain structure most people have never heard of. It only grows when you suffer. And it might predict how long you live.

Here's what Stanford neuroscientists discovered: 🧵 Image
It's called the anterior mid-cingulate cortex. The aMCC.

Stanford neuroscientist @hubermanlab calls it "one of the most important discoveries in the history of neuroscience."

And it changes everything we thought we knew about willpower.
The aMCC isn't linked to intelligence. It's not about memory.

@hubermanlab believes it might actually be the seat of the will to live.

Here's why.

The fastest way to calm your nervous system…

Isn't meditation.

It's something far simpler, and you've been doing it unconsciously your whole life.

Here's the 2-minute protocol that boosts nitric oxide 15x & activates your vagus nerve: 🧵
Meditation works. But it takes time to learn and even longer to feel results.

There's something far simpler that activates the same calming pathways in your body.

You've been doing it since childhood without realizing it.

It's humming.
You might think humming is just a mindless habit.

But science shows it triggers powerful changes in your body, changes that yogis understood 3,000 years ago.

And the effects start within minutes. Image

She predicted:

• The Deep Learning revolution (2012)
• AI's blindness to the physical world (2018)
• The shift to world models (2024)

Now Fei-Fei Li revealed the 5 next AI waves reshaping every physical industry.

Here's what you should know (& how to position yourself): 🧵 Image
First, her track record:

Li created ImageNet, the dataset that triggered the AI revolution.

She leads Stanford's Human-Centered AI Institute. Her startup World Labs just raised $230 million.

When Li makes predictions, the entire AI industry pays attention.
1/ Spatial intelligence is the missing piece for AGI

Current AI lives in flat, 2D space. It can write essays about riding a bike but can't understand balance or how objects interact.

Li's World Labs raised $230M to build systems that perceive and interact with 3D environments.

A $0.15 amino acid just outperformed prescription sleep meds.

3g before bed = better cognition & alertness than 8hrs normal sleep.

Double-blind trial. No side effects.

Here's what 99% of doctors don't tell you: Image
The amino acid is glycine.

And it's been hiding in plain sight for decades.

While Big Pharma pushes $400/month prescriptions with nasty side effects, this 15-cent solution has been sitting in research journals since 2012. Image
Here's what the study found:

Participants slept only 5 hours but took 3g of glycine before bed.

Next day performance?

• Reduced fatigue scores by 50%
• Improved attention tasks
• Better working memory
• Zero grogginess Image
