Filtering out the hype with evidence-based reports on the cryptocurrency space, with a focus on #Bitcoin - https://t.co/pgRGU9CuKE
Joined September 2017
Three years ago, I sat down with BitMEX's Ben Delo to find out how he came up with the design for the “perpetual future”, which has since become one the crypto world’s hottest derivatives. That interview gave rise to a Bloomberg column in which I argued that so-called “perps”

Born in the back of a Shanghai taxi in 2015, BitMEX’s perpetual future became crypto’s defining derivative. Now it may hold lessons for rescuing the global dollar system.

Despite the advice from @fanquake, that didnt stop us ForkMonitor is running "UASF BIP-110 v0.1 Release Candidate 1". Alert message already showing: "BIP9 reduced_data softfork status became started at height 927360 according to Bitcoin Knots 29.2 UASF BIP-110 v0.1"
Functional tests written for this client, are failing. Fuzz tests are failing. Tests are stubbed out with early returns. Release bins were being uploaded before Guix sigs. If you want to run this, wait for a later release candidate.

Bitcoin is final settlement. Not maybe we don't like your UTXO so we will fork it out. Cut this shit.

We just published "Hash-based signatures for Bitcoin," a new analysis of post-quantum schemes by @kudinov_mikhail and myself at @blksresearch. This paper serves as a gentle intro to hash-based schemes and explores how to optimize them specifically for application in Bitcoin. 🧵

A post on the issue with 64-byte transactions, addressed by BIP 54 (Consensus Cleanup soft fork).
64 Byte Transactions A 64 byte Bitcoin transaction has the potential to be confused with an intermediate hashing step in Bitcoin’s Merkle tree, because this is also 64 bytes. We explore how this vulnerability can be exploited & look at a proposed fix https://t.co/eTu2XiDXFv

@venorusprime "The Bitcoin Standard"? Wow. The developers today have it so easy. Back in my day the developers were told they didn't understand economics unless they read "Human Action". That was a much harder read https://t.co/2S2bwveU07
Bitcoin Cash developers have studied economics. Bitcoin Core developers are ignorant of economics. https://t.co/TpMS8IMsJ0

The Tether folks are in the early innings of running a massive interest rate trade. How I read this audit is they think the Fed will cut rates which crushes their interest income. In response, they are buying gold and $BTC that should in theory moon as the price of money falls.

I'm very excited to host the brilliant Prof. Scott Aaronson! If there's one person who can explain quantum computing (and other complex stuff) in a clear and eloquent way, it's him. Amazingly, this will be his first time doing a live podcast. We'll discuss quantum computing,
Will quantum computing kill Bitcoin? @EliBenSasson & Prof. Scott Aaronson, one of the world’s leading quantum computing experts, are hosting a special webinar to explore how quantum breakthroughs could reshape the crypto landscape. December 2nd, 2:30 PM UTC. RSVP required 👇

Makes the 2019 @FTAlphaville event "Vaudeville" potentially more ironic and performative, since it included both CSW and some Wirecard comments @jemimajoanna @izakaminska
