Can’t wait for the headline when #Bitcoin crashes to $500,000.

your #1 source for absurdist true crime 🐀 🐍👑 🌷 Venezuelan here. There's no way to leave the country without using bitcoin or having an offshore bank account (which only few people have). Me, my GF, and best friend left the country with nothing but our clothes, laptop and bitcoin wallets.

thinking about the 60 employees who left coinbase because it wasn’t woke enough today

The educational flippening is coming. Soon, spending four years and hundreds of thousands of dollars at a woke American madrassa won’t signal intelligence or employability. Quite the opposite.

25) And, finally, one more tidbit. FTX has grown a lot! It's now trading about $20B/day, a bit over 3x Coinbase. FTX's userbase has also grown; it's up about 3500% since 2019. It's still less than 2% of Coinbase's.

Short list of things banned in China - Google - Youtube - Facebook - Reddit - Netflix - Zoom - Instagram - Twitch - Twitter … I think Bitcoin is going to be just fine

Web2: buy things online Web3: buy online things

Chaos abroad, chaos at home. Violent crime, inflation, national deficits and debt all at multi-decade highs, with plans for much more. American weakness on full display. A profligate President squandering our inheritance.

After abandoning the brave interpreters that have worked with allied forces over the past decades, how does the administration think it will go in the future? Does anyone think local interpreters will ever join US forces again. So many things went wrong here. #Disaster

1/ Topic: Blockchains are the new app stores 🧵

Over the last 30 years, the American foreign policy establishment has blown perhaps the biggest lead in human history. From the hyperpower that wins everywhere without fighting, to a declining power that fights everywhere without winning.

You have to be a millionaire (literally NW> $1m USD) in order to invest in startups/initial security offerings. Only “accredited investors” can participate b/c they’re “sophisticated enough.” But don’t worry, peasant, just download this lottery app to your phone & stay quiet.

Incredible thread. To paraphrase one of Benchmark’s investing tests, US policymakers need to stop asking only what can go wrong with crypto and start asking what can go right. Let’s play to win, not play to lose.
