#CryptoRoundTableRemarks

I’ve been spying on the halls of the Crypto Round Table 2025… and what I heard you won’t find in Bloomberg or CoinTelegraph.

💼 Heavyweights: heads of exchanges, investment funds, regulators disguised as “consultants”, and a couple of OGs with more Bitcoin than Satoshi.

All with the same poker face… but the conversations behind the scenes were something else.

🔥 One let slip something that made me think seriously:

> “The next cycle won’t be decided by adoption, but by obedience.”

¿Obedience to whom? To the new “crypto elite”: centralized banks that are now pretending to be decentralized.

🔍 Pay attention to this:

👉 There is an internal (non-public) draft of a protocol that aims to standardize smart contracts so they can be intervened in real-time by allied governments. The worst? Two top chains are already involved in the project. One starts with “S”, the other with “A”… and neither is small.

🧠 What does this mean? That if tomorrow you make a “suspicious” trade or participate in a pool with someone flagged, your wallet could be frozen by network consensus. Just like that.

And in the meantime, 90% of people are on Twitter discussing whether SHIB will go up.

👁 Keep an eye on this other gem that was heard quietly, among glasses and contracts:

> “2025 is the year the ecosystem splits in two: those who follow rules, and those who hide.”

And no, it’s not a conspiracy. It’s geopolitical strategy.

💣 If you are in DeFi, if you use mixers, if you do farming on “unregulated” chains, you better have a plan B.

Because what is being cooked up in these fine carpeted halls is not inclusion, it’s control with a marketing smile.

The irony is that many of those who are setting up this new order were the same ones who in 2017 shouted “Not your keys, not your coins”. Now they sit at round tables, with expensive wine, and draft protocols that will leave you out if you don’t align.
