L1 vs L2, without the jargon Think of a Layer 1 as a highway. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana β the base roads every transaction ultimately settles on. Secure and decentralized, but when traffic spikes, everyone competes for the same lanes. That's when fees rise and confirmations

AI visual note: A SimpleSwap graphic titled "L1 vs L2: Why the Same Swap Costs Cents or Dollars" features a 3D illustration contrasting a heavy, industrial-style machine with gold coins (representing Layer 1) against a sleeker, modern device with a coin on top (representing Layer 2), visually reinforcing the post's analogy of highways and traffic congestion affecting transaction fees.

If the Clarity Act doesnβt get passed and the Senate flips, @ewarren becomes Chair of the Senate Banking Committee - which oversees the @SECGov . And if an Elizabeth Warren endorsed Democrat wins the Presidency in 2028 - you can expect a Gensler 2.0. [Spoken audio]: They were fighting, like, up a river for four years under Biden. Like, he basically said, like, Karl Kitenia asked, like, aren't you worried about giving Circle a bank license? He's like, look, all I'm doing is following the statutes and the laws as they're written. And I can speak from firsthand experience that, until recently, if you mentioned crypto to a regulator, you were like, you know, it was, you just didn't do it. I started three different broker dealers, Secfi securities, equity securities, vested securities, they're all broker check, people want to start them as the CEO. I went through the whole FINRA application process with all three of them. Two is new broker dealers, one is a continuing application, which is where you buy a broker dealer and then you apply for another broker dealer license. Every single time and we had the best Manhattan attorneys that advised us. We were VC funded and we had these fancy guys from a firm called Lowenstein Sam. Every single time they would tell us, look, just don't mention crypto. Once you mention that, you're going to be a persona non grata. You're going to go to the back of the list. If you have to mention it, but otherwise alluded to, you might go into other aspects of business. And there was no legislative statute law in the books that said if you're involved with cryptocurrencies, you can't have a broker dealer or you can't have a bank, there's no law prohibiting it. It was just a stance that the regulators took because they were essentially in the back pockets of the big banks. And it was a threat to the big banks, and it is a threat to the big banks. This is the whole reason why the Clarity Act hasn't been passed yet, because the banks do not want stablecoin issuer like Circle basically paying out interest and not being regulated like a bank. Well, guess what? Now Circle is a bank. So we're going to get through these hurdles and we're going to get over this. We had securitized, SECZ is the ticker, go public via SPAC a week or so ago. It traded down quite a bit and I actually bought some late last week and some today. I'm not making an investment recommendation, but I went public with SPAC, traded up to like 14 and got down to $6.66 last week. And this is a tokenization company, blockchain, again to reference Jordy Visser, he likes to talk about agents, the agentic economy, it's gonna be, you know, they're not gonna be using dollars. Once people start to realize this, they're gonna say, oh my gosh, I need to be there. Just like a year ago, people were like, oh my gosh, debasement trade, I need to be there in gold and silver. Then it ramps up, you know, 150% sells off, everybody hates it for six months. And then it starts again. And so I think the same thing is happening right now with some of these chip stocks. And what was hated, some of the hyperscalers, like I said, I mean, they're having amazing returns. I mean, I don't know. I mean, I just look at something really quick like a meta. I mean, this thing was literally 540 bucks a share, like five, six days ago. And today it hits 675. But yet if you hear people talk about, oh, meta hyperscalers, what a dog, well, look, these things are in ranges, they're trading around, the money is moving. And I think at the end of the day, if you're gonna argue, and maybe this could be our last quick topic, would be like the Trump accounts, what's gonna keep this party going? It's just an endless stream of passive bid. This is a Michael Green argument. It's, you know, PEs can blow up, they don't need to stay at 25. They could go to 30, 35. Like, because the passive bid is not going away and it's only getting augmented by the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars a year in perpetuity, just from one law going into effect on July 4th, which is the Trump account.
