🔥Hot take: Thanks to remote work, we can choose to live in a country where the money we receive is worth more than the money we spend.

This is an arbitrage opportunity that won't last much.

All eyes and ears on the Fed's interest rate decision today, but, more important, in what the FOMC statement will be and what Jerome Powell will say in the press conference.

The market expects interest rates to remain the same (a cut would be bullish and an increase bearish), but the key will be in the words and in their vision for the future.

I believe today could have a significant impact for forex, commodities, stocks, and crypto; considering all the recent movements from Trump's administration and recent CPI data, coming slightly better (lower) than expected.

What do you think will happen today?

I have commented that in a few posts.
The Solana ad removal is probably part of their marketing strategy.

Removing the ad increases the (intended) polarization around it.
Gets more people talking about the ad and sharing it.

“Fake it until you make it” culture still lives. 🤷

C𝕏 can get noisy and tiresome when sentiment is low, I know.

Great! This creates the perfect opportunity to leave the screen for a while and turn our focus to the real world, talking to people non-affected by this eco-chamber.

On March 29, I'll be hosting a small meet-up with some business owners, developers, investors, and people curious about blockchain, in a small city in Brazil.

Conexão Blokchain I
(Blockchain Connection, in English)

The goal is to build a local community through business networking, open forum for related discussions, and a safe place for onboarding people to the tech, with a focus on MultiversX and $EGLD.

For this one, I'm getting support from xAlliance (@xAllianceDAO) and we will be putting Zontix (@zontixapp) to test — also as a way to demonstrate a real-world use case of the tech.

For anyone that would like to replicate the structure, it's a simple one:

🗒️
Event starts at 09am, welcoming people with a simple breakfast and free chat for networking;

At 09:30am, I'll make a presentation talking about the goal of this meeting, quickly explaining blockchain and mentioning a few notable projects.

Then, I will introduce MultiversX, teach people how to setup an xPortal wallet, send them an SFT, and we will check the transactions on the Explorer, teaching them how to do it.

By the end of the meet-up, I will present some other real-world use cases and open the meeting for questions (which can be anonymous) or for discussions on the topic, letting people share some insights.
🗒️

If you use this structure for a local event, kindly let me know how it all went, sharing your experience with me and/or the community!

I'll post more updates about it later.

I'm Chaotic Neutral
Lawful-Chaotic: 75 | Good-Evil: -25.

According to my wife, the AI is accurate (I agree).

Here's what it says:

{
Vini Barbosa exhibits a strong preference for decentralized finance and cryptocurrencies, which reflects a chaotic alignment due to their advocacy for open-source solutions and skepticism towards traditional banking systems, often criticizing authority figures and regulations.

Their tweets signal a prioritization of personal freedom and individualism over adherence to established norms, particularly in the context of finance.

This is evident in their disdain for centralized and bureaucratic structures, as well as their support for projects like MultiversX and Nano, which emphasize decentralization.

On the good-evil axis, while they express some harsh views (e.g., comments about 'extorsão' as a profession or calling out authority figures), their overall focus on empowering individuals through decentralized finance and advocating for privacy suggests a more neutral stance rather than outright maliciousness.

Hence, I would rate their alignment as Chaotic Good, leaning towards Chaotic due to their strong anti-establishment sentiments.

Fun experiment on crypto fundamental analysis —
I asked Grok 3 AI (@grok) to evaluate MultiversX $EGLD.

It was a long conversation with interesting outputs.

@MultiversX received an 8/10 score.
For Grok, it's a top pick for building apps and for mid to long-term investing.

Two weeks since John Cena started following me and the follow is still here. I know it may be seen irrelevant by some, but for a small content creator like me, it means a lot (also huge fan). Thanks!

I see it as a validation of my work and positive feedback.
Nice milestone. /acc

X major outage. Stop reloading, go touch some grass.

You know me, and you know how much I despise the State.

Nevertheless, this is, with no doubt, the best time for everyone here to spread the word and educate people in the real world about crypto and blockchain.

The White House is talking about that.
So, "normal" people want to talk about that too.

We are on mainstream, crossing the chasm.
Price doesn't matter. It's noise. Build something.

Get your friends, family, and colleagues together.

Teach them the blockchain technology and how decentralization and self-custody are key aspects for financial sovereignty, security, and freedom. Explain to them how tokenization and other features are bringing huge business innovation, with its many benefits.

Speak louder, now. Speak about it every day.

Ask people if they take crypto for payments and, if not, teach them how to do it. Teach them how to build or implement blockchain into their businesses and lives.

This is the time. Do it now.

🇧🇷 While most countries are raising tariffs, Brazil is cutting some of its import tariffs to zero (on meat, coffee and olive oil) to control the recent price surge.

That's the way. Less tariffs, not more.

Nevertheless, it's important to remember that Brazil has had HUGE import tariffs on many other goods for decades!
Which impoverishes the population in so many different ways.

We can celebrate the wins without supporting the Government.

Crypto was built in the open, to be open.
That's the revolution.

Now, the industry is begging to be in a closed-door meeting.
All eyes on the White House Crypto Summit.

How did we get to this point?
That's a distraction. Back to building open source code.

A big shout-out to @rodrixdigital and @BitcoinBlockBR for being one of the first local media outlets in Brazil covering the MultiversX (@CodeMultiversX) + NearX (@nearxschool) initiative with development-focused DOJOs!

@MultiversX $EGLD activities are just starting in Brazil.

Ethereum $ETH was the prototype.
MultiversX $EGLD is the adoption-ready infrastructure.

Few understand it (yet).

Bitcon maximalists are finally realizing that they were fooled and the real world doesn’t care about their cult.

I’m a huge critic of XRP, but I very much rather a multi-chain, diversified approach to crypto, with some that I don’t like; than the sick BTC maximalist approach. 🤷‍♂️

There are currently three open @xAllianceDAO quests on @PeerMeHQ.
What are you waiting for to submit your applications?

I'm organizing myself to launch my contents in due time and participate in the Warp Protocol Explainers (by @vLeapGroup) and the XOXNO Protocol Spotlight (by @XoxnoNetwork).

But I like a good competition that motivates me to create even better content. So, come and join me! Both are rewarding more than one winner, anyway. 😉

The Ethereum L2 community gaslight is getting ridiculous.

«base will be 2x faster than solana»
«arbitrum is faster than solana»

What kind of comparison is that?

Consensus & Finality are the bottlenecks.
Centralized sequencers should be compared to Google, not Solana.

Come on.

Animoca Brands (@animocabrands) has joined MultiversX as a validator. Currently, with 100,866 EGLD staked for 20 nodes and 1,202 delegators.

The firm is joining MvX as an active contributor and developer, according to today's announcement, more than just a staking provider.

I truly believe that the world is headed to run on blockchain-based systems (or similar), with all the benefits these systems bring.

It's just a matter of proper education and time, imo.

The main problem today, however, is that the most popular and recognized blockchains are terrible for the job.

So, all that's left is the speculative appeal.
Which is an open invitation for scams and scammers.

The most technically advanced blockchains are still fairly unknown, building in the silence with almost no mainstream recognition.

This will change, eventually.
The Utility Era for blockchains is coming.
It may take a while, but it is coming.

Position yourself accordingly.
