masterclass from the The New York Times on how to create anti-crypto propaganda. each point in the graphic can be refuted ad nauseam, but lets start here: "banks share a portion of proceeds as interest; coin issuers keep all of the proceeds" for most of the last decade, banks paid

key learnings from Blockchain Association data session

You can criticize stablecoin issuers for not paying yield to holders. You can work to prevent them from paying yield to holders. You cannot in good faith do both.

It’s giving citadel

Banning stablecoins from paying interest is like banning cars from going faster than horses.

Transparent, permissionless technology should not be regulated by the SEC as traditional intermediaries Even if the world's largest market maker (baselessly) says so We're glad to support DeFi Education Fund in setting the record straight

Genuinely entered flow state

Banking is the least capitalist industry in America. Arguing that stablecoin holders shouldn’t earn yield is arguing the interest paid by taxpayers on Tbills should go to bank executives and shareholders, not those same Americans. Along with capping credit card interest rates

So, the government ... 1) Creates inflation through bad fiscal/monetary policy 2) Makes it illegal to earn interest Just making sure I have this right.

To be clear: I don't think the effort to ban stablecoin yield really matters long-term. Technology will find a way to deliver interest income. But the idea that politicians are so brazenly protecting bank profits at our expense is absurdly anti-consumer.

pretty crazy how policymakers want to ban stablecoin yield but allow things like fractional reserve banking

Banks RECEIVED over $200 BILLION from the FED in interest on reserves in 2024. These same banks argue that CONSUMERS should NOT RECEIVE ANY interest on dollars they hold in stablecoins. Both Dems & Repubs are going along with this. Banks win, consumers & innovation lose.

Do people on LinkedIn know that one day we are going to die

Are these “intermediaries” in the room with us right now?

one day you’re 25 and the next you’re getting sorted into one of the four stroller houses for your baby

People might accuse me of grave dancing for saying it But we have to stop letting centralized things call themselves DeFi Admin key can drain all funds? CeFi Otherwise DeFi means nothing and it’s brand is destroyed No admin key can drain any version of Uniswap for a reason
