One of the most disingenuous arguments made in crypto against any project is the idea that decentralization is equivalent to counterparty risk. There is an incorrect conflation between a networks ability to process transactions while solving the double spend problem, as a
Hello @jackmallers Your emergency 🚨 BTC v XRP broadcast was a catalyst for fact spread on X. 🙏 🙏@Ripple, a centralized entity, like Mr. @saylor is using “a” digital asset BUT where is @MicroStrategy escrow? + Lack of respect🫡 to the Ripple fight & win is a HUGE mistake. Shame

One of the benefits of marriage that no one talks about is having someone to help carry the weight of your existence.

Neil, there is a logic flaw in your little aphorism that seems quite telling. Since you and I are part of the Universe, then we would also be indifferent and uncaring. Perhaps you forgot, Neil, that we are not superior to the Universe but merely a fraction of it. Nice day, indeed

It's incredible how little reflection went into this "America needs a billion Tiger Moms" post, as it totally misunderstands what sort of spirit made the West great, and is just an attempt to replace what remains of that unique spirit with a slavish one A short 🧵👇
The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers & if

BlackRock: "There is no guarantee that Bitcoin's 21 million supply cap will not be changed." 🤷♂️ I've been saying this for years: by stopping Bitcoin from scaling its L1, they've created the security budget issue which they're going to solve with additional emission 🪄

9/ The US has the reserve currency. We should be doing everything we can to keep our fiscal house in order in dollar terms, which means cutting the deficit and future expenditures to a sustainable path, not trying to YOLO into an asset that benefits from dollar decline.

Going off the gold standard was among the stupidest thing we did in human history. The second stupidest thing is replacing it with bitcoin.

Rarely in American politics has a new industry spent so much money, with such apparent impact, as the cryptocurrency business did in the last election. This Sunday, Margaret Brennan reports on the industry's hopes for the new “pro-crypto” administration. https://t.co/mEN4CWeXMW

Some people can’t wait to sell back into the old financial system. Some people want to hold and be part of the new one. Someday it won’t matter. The two will be one.

THE RETURN OF XRP With XRP overtaking SOL, above $2, and approaching a $120B market cap, allow me to reflect. When I sued the SEC, people assumed I was a huge XRP holder. The truth is, when the @Ripple case was filed, 50% of my net worth was in BTC. Today, it’s 80%. I also had

Operation Chokepoint 2.0 was (is?) a government operation to pressure banks to unbank "disfavored" people and businesses, despite no evidence or accusations of unlawful conduct. The mechanism used, indirect regulation, is a despicable evil that is used as an end run around due

@TXMCtrades Value is an abstraction, of which the velocity of it's movement represents economic activity. Trying to "anchor" value is akin to stopping growth, it's constraining. What should replace the existing system is one where fiat currencies must compete with market forces determining

The American Psychological Association once invited William James to give a talk on the first 50 years of psychology research. He simply said: “People by and large become what they think of themselves.” Then, he left.

Former SEC Chair was Joe Grundfest who has integrity which seems out of fashion. As to the number, I now realize one can’t tell the true # of ETH ICO buyers as it was explained by some how whales could disguise their large positions during the ICO. Violation of Terms of Service
Hello @StevenNerayoff ~Thank you for taking notice of conversations about the #ETH ICO. As you said, this was a dangerous area & you took it upon yourself to figure it out legally. You had the former SEC Chair "chime in". Who? & Who are the 15,000 participants? @JohnEDeaton1
