Privacy is normal, and writing code is not a crime.

An article I’ve been meaning to write for a while now is the suitcoin thesis. Yes, literally suits, the kind people wear in DC. While everyone’s been obsessing over how to extract value from memecoin mania (which is really just unregulated gambling with better branding), the real money is in becoming a suitcoin. Think about which cryptocurrency has the best name recognition after Bitcoin. It’s Ripple. That’s right, XRP. The token crypto natives love to mock, but the one that people outside our bubble always seem to ask about. Everyone’s busy trying to become the next Fartcoin (or whatever), when the real prize is becoming the next Ripple. Sure, you can argue all day about Ripple’s tech or the story behind it. But the reality is, technology and tokens are two different businesses. And nobody has played the token game better than Ripple, especially when you look at how their positioning has only gotten stronger over time. That’s the cheat code. That’s the unlock. Be a suitcoin.

I’m just feeling like the throne is for the taking. Watch me take it.

As much as I collect sneakers, I don't usually post anything like this, but this fit was too clean not to show somewhere. More than anything, big shout out to Zayn Malik for concert merch that matched my Jordan's perfectly though.

Book recommendations for context regarding the recent interview with @azeemk_:

Meet the Team: 𝐀𝐡𝐦𝐚𝐝 (Design) Ahmad’s path into Web3 design has been anything but conventional – from bartending and restaurant management to side projects and product rebrands, he’s always worked at the intersection of storytelling, tech, and intuition. Today, he’s shaping how Miden looks and feels, across both brand and product. He’s working on the wallet UX, onboarding flows, and visual identity – helping make the engineering and cryptography magic feel clear, useful, and approachable. When he’s not designing, you might find him reading, building Legos, or building an anime platform.

We need both - but yes, scalability without privacy is just driving faster into a wall.
