the crypto industry is a lot smaller than its boosters would like you to believe. There's like 3 main companies. DCG, a16z, and Coinbase. And these companies do all the VC deals. i.e. look at who has funded OpenSea and Etherscan... Coinbase Ventures, a16z, DCG.

All of this happened in China this week. A thread. 1/10

You think Bitcoin is rallying during crypto bank failures? FTT tokens, absolutely completely worthless tokens issued by a fraudulent exchange now in bankruptcy, has gone up more than Bitcoin. This clearly means it's better than bitcoin, number go up more. Store of value!

If Genesis is solvent and truly has a liquidity issue, then claims on Genesis would trade close to par (less a discount for the time value of money). The market for Genesis depositor claims is saying they do not believe Genesis is solvent.

Disbelief is a strong emotion. What if this rally is for real? #Bitcoin Even so, the market is always right. It does not matter what caused the price to move. Only humans have to find justification for things out of their control.

🚨 #Iran: What appears may have been a bunker-buster strike against an underground weapons factory in Iran was followed by a significant earthquake in the area.

This is an actual line from a Bloomberg article: "Hedge funds are likely to welcome the disappearance of the retail throng, which at times ganged up on short sellers who thought they’d safely bet against companies with dubious prospects but instead faced expensive margin calls."

The Islamic Republic killed her just because she didn’t want to cover her cute short hair. This is #ArmitaGaravand who was beaten up to death by morality police in Iran. I cannot stop thinking of her. Iranian teenagers hate Mullah’s regime. They want to have a normal life.

Iranian citizens are urgently campaigning on social media to save six young political prisoners facing imminent execution. They urge the international community to pressure the Islamic regime and halt these executions. To the free world: amplify the voice of the Iranian people.

The Islamic regime hanged 23-year-old #MohamadGhobadlou during the morning call to prayer. We fought for his life for over a year. His mother pleaded with the world to save her son’s life. I’ll never forget her cries. Please keep your eyes on Iran. Executions are surging before
