This is probably controversial… and please don’t judge me… but I spent most of my life hating cheese.
😳 I know, crazy.
But it just kinda became part of my identity at some point, and I didn’t question it.
Until one day, like five years ago, I gave it another shot. And turns out… cheese slaps. I’ve become this now:
And you know what? I think countries are having their cheese moment – but the cheese is crypto. For example:
Bolivia: banned crypto completely in 2014 → lifted the ban last year;
South Korea: banned corporate involvement in crypto trading in 2017 → lifted the ban this year;
Russia: was strongly against crypto for years → now the government supports it for foreign trade and is pushing laws to legalize crypto mining and export;
Vietnam: banned crypto payments in 2017 → this:
They passed the Law on Digital Technology Industry this weekend, making crypto legal and setting up rules to cover stuff like storage, creation, and transfers.
It comes into effect on January 1, 2026 – and it matters.
Because it’s another proof that crypto’s becoming impossible to ignore.
And let’s not forget – Vietnam has one of the fastest-growing economies in Southeast Asia. When a country like that starts treating crypto seriously, it’s a clear step toward mainstream, global adoption.
Moral of the story? Cheese is good, crypto’s getting recognized, and it might be time to take a bite 🧀
Now you’re in the know. But think about your friends – they probably have no idea. I wonder who could fix that… 😃🫵
Spread the word and be the hero you know you are!
💸 Stablecoins
Everyone keeps talking about how stablecoins are gonna be what takes crypto mainstream.
Tired of hearing that? Perfect – we’re gonna talk about it a bit more 😏
We’ve already mentioned the GENIUS Act making its way through the US Senate. If it passes, it would give stablecoins legal clarity, basically making them safer to use and easier for companies and banks to support.
But it’s not just governments getting serious. Big businesses are clearly catching on, too:
Shopify is planning to launch USDC payments on Base via Shopify Payments and Shop Pay later this year;
Walmart and Amazon are reportedly thinking about launching their own dollar-backed stablecoins. The idea is to let customers pay at checkout using these coins instead of traditional credit or debit cards.
Now, these aren’t your local corner stores. These are giants – Shopify leads in e-commerce platforms, Amazon’s the world’s largest online retailer, and Walmart’s the world’s largest retailer.
If they think stablecoins are worth building around, that’s a pretty loud vote of confidence.
And stuff like this doesn’t just boost stablecoins – it helps the whole industry:
More stablecoins → more money on-chain → more trust, activity, and use cases → a stronger and more useful crypto ecosystem overall.
… So yeah, see why we can’t stfu about it?..
