In academia, research is of ‘general interest’ only if it interests a couple dozen friends in the profession. This way, if you can keep your friends from paying attention to real world innovations, you can avoid the need to learn anything new and speciously rely upon your.

This is the same guy who couldn’t handle Excel but wants us to believe he understands blockchain 🤦♂️:

Almost a decade ago I was the Harvard economist that said that bitcoin was more likely to be worth $100 than 100k. What did I miss? I was far too optimistic about the US coming to its senses about sensible cryptocurrency regulation; why would policymakers want to facilitate tax.

This is an often overlooked but important fact: Ethereum has been able to incentivize ~ 100 billion USD in staked ETH with essentially zero ETH supply growth. In fact, pre-Dencun, Ethereum had *negative* ETH supply growth. Unlike Bitcoin's approach of simply reducing issuance.
There aren't 21m bitcoins. There are 19,907,600 bitcoins, with a 1.3% yearly inflation rate. $ETH inflation is 10x less than Bitcoin's.

Austin and I are obviously friends who agree on much, but I fully disagree with this take in every possible way. A blockchain that isn’t perfectly neutral is a terrible database, worst than anything TradFi has today (which includes RTGS systems that are also neutral). The.

This is called ad hoc theorizing without a fully specified model. More informally, it is called bullshitting. Here's an actual economic security analysis comparing a Proof-of-Work based chain with a Proof-of-Stake based chain:

Abstract. We develop an economic model to compare equilibrium security of Proof-of-Work (PoW) versus Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains. We derive general co
@hanni_abu First, mining does not secure Bitcoin’s market cap; it prices how hard it is to reorder the last few blocks. That cost is set in real time by (a) the confirmation depth receivers require and (b) the expected‑value comparison miners make between the competing tips at the chain.
