I think Adam Back is cashing out his BTC holdings (30,000 BTC priced at a premium) by selling to the Cantor SPAC. Nothing wrong with that, but let's not sugar-coat this - an OG reducing his bag.

Tokenized stocks - is the endgame to sell private stocks without the burden of disclosure requirements?

Tokenized stock really just means "let's sell stock without complying with US disclosure rules" (the blockchain benefits of self custody, fractional ownership, 24-hour trading offer minor benefits and are detractors) Eg - Robinhood now selling OpenAI tokenized shares

Bitcoin related concern: How are y’all thinking about security risks of concentrated bitcoin custody? For example, Coinbase currently holds around 10% of BTC supply — compromising private keys could have similar implications as the ETH DAO hack.

What's the best analogy for crypto? 🌐 Early internet: Full of promise, many uses yet to conceive 🇫 Facebook: Clear benefits but with awful externalities 🎰 Digital casino: Morally neutral and zero-sum 🚬 Cigarette makers: Obviously harmful yet dressed up as legit Other?

Great ep of The Blockchain Debate with @lee_bratcher & @BenHertzShargel with host @Gentso09 on #BTC mining But I feel Ben’s primary argument, that #bitcoin mining isn’t good for the grid because it starts as a burden first, is unfair Literally everything starts as a burden!
