1/7 🧵 Just wrapped moderating a fascinating panel @CoinfestAsia 2025 with @Polkadot's @shawntabrizi, @PythNetwork's @Mariobern_, and @0xPolygon's @Mudit__Gupta. One clear consensus emerged: shared security is blockchain's future. Here's why 👇

Now @shawntabrizi on stage at @CoinfestAsia talking about shared security and why it is one of the most scarce resources in web3, but one of the most important ones to achieve trustless interoperability 📶 Polkadot has been pieneering shared security since 2016 🔒

@blockhead_co is back @CoinfestAsia. I'm here with Timothy Han. If you are too, I'm moderating the first panel (2:15-2:45pm) at the Dome Stage with @shawntabrizi , @Mariobern_ , and @Mudit__Gupta on what makes an ideal blockchain. Is it the speed? Scalability?

This is how Musk and oligarchs work: Get billions in subsidies from the federal government. Pay little or nothing in taxes. Complain about waste and fraud. Then cut federal programs that working families need. This is why we need a political revolution in this country.
SpaceX, Elon Musk’s rocket and satellite internet company, relies on federal contracts, but years of losses have most likely let it avoid paying federal income taxes, according to internal company documents.

🧵1/ We should learn from the others. At @protocol_berg, @shawntabrizi did an amazing intro to PolkaVM — a RISC-V-based virtual machine designed to push blockchain execution forward. A thread for devs & researchers to grab inspiration 👇

You create JAM not because the market asks for it today, but that the world needs it tomorrow. Bitcoin also was not something businesses and countries asked for. Yet it solved a fundamental problem of trust, and with enough time, it has been recognized and adopted for this.
. @Polkadot enthusiasts, you often compare JAM to AWS. ☁️ AWS was developed to address Amazon's own infrastructure needs and offered it to external customers. My question: Which established enterprises/ protocols are already lined up to use JAM, and why?
