Getting funding for education is tough. This is one of the reasons I love working with ZKsync, they understand that in order for web3 to move forward, we need to teach people about web3, and they dedicate resources and funding to education. Big thank you to ZKsync. 🫡

WOW. This would be historic: Both Elon Musk and Coinbase's CEO have now proposed putting ALL US spending on blockchain. This means $6.9 TRILLION of US spending PER YEAR would be placed on a decentralized ledger. What does this mean? Let us explain. (a thread)

As others have noted, yesterday's CRA vote was particularly significant because it represents a reduction or even elimination of the existential tail risk in the US. Conversely, productive policy tailwinds got a big boost. We may see close to 50% Dem CRA support in the house,

It's disheartening to see on-chain evidence of The Graph operators cheating the system to syphon indexing rewards. Honest Indexers work hard to index the most complex subgraphs and they forgo their rewards if they can't generate a valid Proof of Indexing. It's not a perfect

This sort of post is why I started the newsletter. Kenneth S Rogoff is actually a solid economist on areas where he has personal knowledge, but he also may be the single worst situated person in the entire world to understand the value of Bitcoin. Why do I say this? He's in America.

With all due respect to Matt, the notion that Tempo will in any way be neutral is a fantasy. First, the very fact the he is billed as the "project lead" while sitting on the board of Stripe, a corporation who is clearly central to this effort, and being a GP at a VC firm that

🚨 There’s a large-scale supply chain attack in progress: the NPM account of a reputable developer has been compromised. The affected packages have already been downloaded over 1 billion times, meaning the entire JavaScript ecosystem may be at risk. The malicious payload works

Ezra Klein on those who were “infuriated” that he said Charlie Kirk was doing politics “the right way” and said “we can oppose political violence without whitewashing this guy.” “It is too little to just say we oppose political violence.” “We have to be able to see that the

I keep seeing takes like this and I basically agree. if you want volatility go trade publicly traded quantum sh*tters. but it also conveys a deeper truth. crypto is boring because so many of the open questions have been answered. will stablecoins be allowed? yes. will we be

Well as long as we're all coming out, i'll add mine. In 2019 before Bankless, I had a tiny proof of stake company called Mythos - just me and one employee, self funded. We launched a staking service on the Cosmos network, it was early days, we were learning but I hoped to

Oct 8 - Senate Dems circulate market structure outline Oct 9 - Outline leaks revealing immensely antagonistic positioning toward DeFi (worse than Gensler era), surprising many Since - Trump disapproval and Dem House control chances significantly increase. Window for legislation

I spent the entire weekend arguing with people who genuinely believe an airliner - full of human beings - should be allowed to crash into a mountain because of a temporary GPS outage. Their logic was basically: “Those are the risks of flying.” “They chose to get on the plane.”

The article is slickly written, but the thesis collapses under its own weight. It argues Bitcoin was merely a battering ram in a regulatory war, and now that the war is “over,” capital is abandoning it. That’s a poetic narrative, but it ignores how capital, technology, human

A reminder of why working towards pro-crypto, pro-developer policies is so important. It matters for the future of digital assets in America, it matters for the future of our privacy protections, and it matters for the future of people's lives. A message from Roman Storm 🇺🇸 🌪️.

Update: a long night working on The Graph but we got everything allocated again with Horizon allocations. Horizon requires us to update our cuts but we can't do that yet so you'll see 100% cuts right now but we will not close any allocations until we can update it. We

After reviewing the Senate Banking draft text over the last 48hrs, Coinbase unfortunately can’t support the bill as written. There are too many issues, including: - A defacto ban on tokenized equities - DeFi prohibitions, giving the government unlimited access to your financial

My heart broke yesterday with news that my closest friend Jim unexpectedly passed away. He introduced me to web3, mentored me through it and kept me in this space with his inspiration. Jim was dedicated to making this world better through the mission of web3. He worked
