@lex_node Given what actually happened to a certain project whose team fucked off to the Bahamas, I think we should rename "Bahamas test" to mean the level stronger than walkaway test: are the users still safe even if the team becomes *actively adversarial*?

@elonmusk I think you should consider that making X a global totem pole for Free Speech, and then turning it into a death star laser for coordinated hate sessions, is actually harmful for the cause of free speech. I'm seriously worried that huge backlashes against values I hold

Introducing Circles — an ambitious experiment on money. For the first time ever, you can create your own money without needing a bank or a government. 🧵

There seems to be some broader pessimism about actual use cases. To me, it is very simple: 8% interest (Aave/DSR) and instant, free, worldwide $ transfers. As long as those two things are not available to everyone in the world, there is a very clear use case to build towards.

I'm really proud that ethereum does not have any culture of trying to prevent people from speaking their minds, even when they have very negative feelings toward major things in the protocol or ecosystem. Some wave the ideal of "open discourse" as a flag, some take it seriously.

To me the goal of Ethereum needs to be a place where massive economic activities should take place. One example where its credible neutrality is uniquely valuable would be price finding between the major currencies of this world.
