Steve, you can't just point out how people use #BTC to help the environment and lower the impact of energy extraction! It's supposed to be bad for the environment! Think of the narratives! How can they survive this sort of reality-based contradiction!? You monster.

This vision for crypto is incredibly constrained and damaging. Disregarding the law and building systems to circumvent it will lead governments to ban crypto, which will significantly reduce its utility and reach. It's very difficult to decentralize where one lives. While the…

it’s wild that coastal cities have spent years debating if YIMBY policies will lower rents, and Austin just… did it they streamlined permitting, upzoned most of the city, and eliminated parking mandates. Tons of housing is going up and rents are plummeting. YIMBY policies work

An excellent exhibit for my upcoming class "How to ensure economic activity leaves your country (101)". This will work about as well as the Scandinavian experiment with transaction taxes on financial instruments.

So let me get this right: Stellar, a top-15 chain by TVL with the most RWA activity of almost any chain, is a ghost chain, but Celo is not? Am I reading that right? This is insane.

Not just for crypto. There's not a dividing line here vs. using other services to coordinate payments in non-custodial ways. If I use a group email to coordinate cash payments to settle up something with friends, is my email provider now a money transmitter? I think the obvious…

If you are in the policy, legislative, regulatory, or risk management space in either blockchain or banking and you don’t listen to this podcast, there is no hope for you. Some will think that is a joke. It’s not. You need to know what’s going on here.

Financial advisors calling crypto grifters is a bit like Al Qaeda calling you a terrorist. Can anyone think of an industry that charges more in fees and delivers less in value than most financial advisors?

When I am advising executives facing layoffs, I remind people of this principle repeatedly. Ongoing or multiple rounds of layoffs means that you will have an organization that devolves into political battles, gossip, and fear. One big round only & execs must share in the pain.

I don't necessarily agree here. The question to ask is "what else were you doing with your time". If the answer was fucking around and doing drugs, I agree with @BitPaine. But one of the best people I've worked with had a near-perfect SAT score, high IQ, and nearly failed out of…

I don't think there's a good moral case against the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, but if we're going to have the debate let's at least get the facts right. This is a VERY well-documented episode in history, so there's no excuse for Tracey's ignorance. Let's go to school 🧵:

“unhosted wallets” cannot be “brokers” the two are incongruous conflating the two is ignorant rules that do will create unenforceable prohibition gm

All of these are true. Crypto is a way to call bullshit on corrupt local systems. Arguably the greatest development in financial human rights in history. Also explains why most no-coiners are western. Their system works. Don't see their own privilege.

Counterpoint: When regulators go out of their way to cripple the use cases, they can't then claim there are no use cases due to natural market forces. Had the SEC not gone on their quixotic crusade to fight technological progress, we'd see tons of these already.

In order for centrist common sense policies to win, centrists must learn to shout back. Do not cede the floor.

I wrote an oped in @FT. My goal isn't to defend or to diminish memecoins. It’s to point out the backward incentives of a regulatory regime in the US that lets only memecoins thrive — while companies and tokens with more productive uses face hurdles. ft.com/content/1ceaa1…
