Thank you @NicoleTaylorSV and @SiliconValleyCF for hosting a fantastic event -- amazing to be back in person discussing how crypto can be a tool for philanthropy and positive societal impact!

I’m coding again.🤫 New project: Dassie🐻 • interledger p2p micropayments network • direct access to ilp w/o gatekeepers • settlement using crypto • xrp first - btc+eth+more over time • livestream Interledger Foundation summit nov 12, launch 2023 interledger.org/summit/

This is a post I've been wanting to write for ten years. Much of the debate around consensus has been over proof-of-work vs proof-of-stake. But there is an option that is simpler, more robust, and supports in-protocol governance. contenthub.coil.com/content/an-ele… 🧵👇

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Monica Long at 3 different companies now, and nearly from day 1 at Ripple. So much of what the company has achieved is due to her leadership. Congratulations!

⏱️ #CryptoInOneMinute is back with Ripple’s Executive Chairman and Founder Chris Larsen to discuss carbon markets. Greenhouse gas emissions are radically transforming our environment—it’s time to make carbon credit markets more transparent through blockchain technology.

Thoughtful, smart, beautifully written review by record producer David Katznelson of kassa overall show Black Cat, the must-live-forever jazz club. Read this. And support this Tenderloin institution. oakiedog.substack.com/p/cat-black-ja…

Thanks @SFChronicle and Roland Li for spotlighting Avenue Greenlight and the incredible work San Francisco’s 34 merchant associations are doing to revitalize the city. Wave 2 of the grants are now open! avenuegreenlightsf.org

Thanks for the chat Amber Lee! In times like these, our local government, police force and citizens all can step up to keep us safe. I believe the best way forward requires striking the right balance between privacy, justice and safety, and that’s how I’ve approached solutions.

One note – while one part of my advocacy involves funding cameras for local SF Community Benefit Districts (CBDs) - I have no access to the footage nor where the cameras get placed. My goal is solely to help fund what the CBD wants and chooses to implement.

Bravo Australia and Tesla -- this is remarkable!

As a Bay Area native, I've seen SF go through booms, busts and reinvention time and again -- I'm confident this city will remain a home for innovation, and the problems here are fixable. Great to speak with you Tim Johns!

Could not agree more with Katie Biber. Pathetic “statement” coming from the SEC today. Take the loss. You earned it.

I haven’t been as vocal on the lawsuit as Brad Garlinghouse and Stuart Alderoty, but today is a huge win for crypto in the US – big thanks to all who supported us along the way.

Joined the one and only Kara Swisher last week at Manny’s! to discuss my philanthropic work in SF, how to bring tech and public officials together, and more. She also asked about a lawsuit update -- and 48 hrs later, we got one… podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

The voluntary carbon market is a key component to fighting devastating climate change...but has been long overdue for an upgrade. Congratulations to Centigrade on today’s launch!

I sincerely hope we’re seeing the beginning of the end of the SEC’s policy of regulation by enforcement. The Courts are rejecting it, and now it’s time for Congress to take the lead on crypto policy. Thanks Ed Ludlow Bloomberg Technology for the chat!

The UK has, and will continue to be a home for financial and technological innovation -- thank you Chancellor Sir Jeremy Hunt MP for leading the charge!

Chatted with Jon Steinberg about the upcoming SF mayoral race, and the number of folks who care deeply about the future of this city. SF comes with its own unique set of (solvable) challenges, and I believe Mayor London Breed remains the right person for the job.

The last 3 years we’ve seen a rogue administrative state that needs to be held accountable for its actions – not just an investigation into the conflicts of interests that led to these baseless claims, but how the US actively demolished its global standing as the home for
