How dare people move capital freely without banks getting a cut!
(For what?!)
CBDCs are a poison pill. Push back against them as if they are designed to ensure your total financial surveillance becomes a reality.
NOW - ECB chief Lagarde says she does not like to see a new period of "free banking" due to cryptocurrencies.
Central bank digital currencies (CBDC) are required to maintain the role of central banks.
Dear Luke,
We love you.
We value you.
Your money is delicious.
We completely violated your trust, and (despite having alleged SIM protection PIN) your SIM was changed *w/o authorization*.
We will do nothing.

Self-custody is not a crime.
Neither is the wallet in my back pocket.

@iupdate
Wrong.
The web has become user-hostile by default.
Users have resorted to protecting themselves by blocking 3rd party data collection.
Platforms are also actively demonetizing creators, preventing them from earning from ads.
Don't blame the users.
PayPal, trashing their reputation to "recoup for damages to reputation"
Why would anyone put their funds into an entity that implements such a garbage slippery slope policy?

The federal government has unprecedented overreach into the population, and this bill only extends that further.

There are many of us.
Elizabeth Warren, trying to make global technology inoperable in the US by lying to the public with the nonsense notion that exchanges aren't heavily regulated where fiat currency meets cryptocurrency.
“This bill would plug the holes in our anti-money laundering rules…to shut down the scammers.”
Warren’s bill would make any blockchain protocol functionally inoperable in the US.
So yes, it would shut down scammers—in addition to the millions of legitimate actors in the space.

Check the tense.
While convenient to future-tense, cross-chain is alive, well and being actively utilized in the multichain present.
My argument for why the future will be *multi-chain*, but it will not be *cross-chain*: there are fundamental limits to the security of bridges that hop across multiple "zones of sovereignty". From :

Don't imagine, try it, now:
"In the first 5 days of the

Adoption = a matter of time and pmf, and crypto adoption has been a regressive clownshow, with some exceptions.
I will stack rank
@Brave

Why are

@andrewrsorkin
providing a platform and amplifier for SBF, while hacked FTX customer funds are active in market?
$10B in fraud, persistent contagion and instead of investigative journalism, the NYT publishes a puff piece and provides a platform.
Dark patterns are cringe.
I just did a podcast interview with software that required me to use Chrome (don't worry, we're going to fix this to work in

So I go through reinstall of Chrome, then uninstall when done.
Immediately, go to uninstall Chrome.

Reminder that

ConsenSys announced an update to its privacy policy on November 23 (including metamask infura and more): When you use Infura as your default RPC provider in MetaMask, Infura will collect your IP address and your Ethereum wallet address when you send a transaction.
My 3 year old started watching Frozen.
