So… I now pay for @GetSpectrum and ESPN+/Hulu/Disney+ and can’t even watch freaking @SportsCenter on a Week 1 Saturday of the college football season? Breathtaking incompetence and disrespect to the customer - across the board. @espn @Disney

Trying to macroeconomy in 2022: Inflation bad, but dollar good?! Hold dollars is good, but… dollars worth less tomorrow than today?!

The opportunity for #Bitcoin mining to help the renewable buildout of the grid is enormous 3 Ways it helps: 1. Energy storage 2. Carbon removals 3. Power transmission ( the demand response & load balancing features of #BTC mining reduces transmission upgrade costs)

Had no idea this could happen 😂

@PostLive @GaryGensler @CFTCbehnam @gillibrandny @SenLummis - Folks in the private sector (@Grayscale, @circlepay) basically begging to be regulated (Spot BTC ETF, stablecoin exchange listing clarity) - some general concern for keeping USD the dominant currency of the internet's future 7/7

@PostLive @GaryGensler @CFTCbehnam @gillibrandny @SenLummis Other: - I heard "Terra" and "Luna" about 120 times - lots of handwringing over recent overall marketcap losses for crypto (oddly no mention of massive tech losses in the tech space more broadly, though) - narrative: "bad guys" are "way ahead" of "good guys" in the space 6/7

@PostLive @GaryGensler @CFTCbehnam @gillibrandny @SenLummis 5. Lummis and Gillibrand both acknowledge that the bill will take time – reiterated that it likely covers 4 committees of jurisdiction (at least agriculture, banking, finance) 5/7

@PostLive @GaryGensler @CFTCbehnam @gillibrandny 4. @SenLummis struggled to answer why Bitcoin has not decoupled from broader markets and served as an "inflation hedge" but seemed unshaken in her belief in its long-term stability seemed proud to HODL Bitcoin through the volatility 4/7

@PostLive @GaryGensler @CFTCbehnam 3. @gillibrandny was definitely ready for the question about the "progressive" wing of the Dem party's opposition to the bill. She specifically pointed out potential for PoW mining to incentivize more renewable energy development 3/7

@PostLive it is worth mentioning that @GaryGensler has said that Ether passes the "Howey Test" (translation: it's a security) 2. @CFTCbehnam seemed pretty pleased with the Gillibrand-Lummis bill. He emphasized how limited the CFTC's enforcement arm is beyond fraud and manipulation 2/7

Went to @PostLive event today on The Evolution of Money and Crypto Regulation. Observations: 1. There seems to be some level of agreement among regulators and politicians (specifically Benham, Lummis, Gillibrand) that #Bitcoin and Ether are commodities. Although... 1/7

The @LeBatardShow musical is magical and hilarious all around. But @JuJuGotti deserves a special shout-out for the interlude. Which is legitimately moving… and I don’t know how to feel about that haha

We are in downtown Moscow where hundreds are protesting against the Ukraine invasion. Arrests. A large police presence. It takes a special kind of bravery to protest in Putin’s Russia - especially on the day he sends his country to war.
