Is “high yield” a good thing or bad thing? 🤔 Some think “high yield” in #crypto equals Ponzi, but let’s consider the high yield #bond market. Here’s a thought: As staked #HEX is like a CD, so a tokenized #HEX stake is like a high-yield bond. Why might this context for “high

What is "active income" vs. "passive income" in #crypto? $BTC miners run a software protocol (SHA-256) to earn $BTC rewards. $HEX stakers run a software protocol (ERC-20) to earn $HEX rewards. Are these activities "active" or "passive"? 🤔 The distinction matters for

Let’s go!! The tweet below was reposted by The Highest of Stakes Movie so I’m taking that as a good sign that we are headed to Apple TV! Can’t wait to share this awesome movie about $HEX with my friends, students, and colleagues. 🚀

I want to give a shout out to the $HEX community. Ever since #TheHighestOfStakes screened in the US in August, I have been engaging with #Hexicans around the technology and economics of the HEX token. I really enjoy these discussions (as anyone can see from my Twitter account).

Good question about $HEX from Valerie. 👇 The main challenge from my view is still the clarification of “what is the utility?” to address the Ponzi critique. Many outsiders get turned off by the 3.69% inflation. This is why defining the “value proposition” of staking for the

It was great being part of #TheHighestOfStakes with Captain RG3. No one forgets the pirate. But I’m still jealous that I didn’t get a gym scene! 💪🏼🤣

Academics and financial professionals curious about #crypto should check out #TheHighestOfStakes on Amazon or AppleTV. Yesterday I spoke at a Loyola University Chicago financial policy conference as a research discussant. Couldn’t help adding a slide to promote The Highest of Stakes Movie! 😂

It was an honor to catch up with former FDIC Chair Sheila Bair yesterday at the Loyola University Chicago conference. Sheila was FDIC Chair from 2006-2011 through the global financial crisis. I was an economist at the Federal Reserve in DC during this time and I will always remember

Looking for a movie to watch this weekend?! 👀 Check out #TheHighestOfStakes on Apple TV or Amazon Prime Video. It’s a #crypto film that you don’t want to miss. Thrills, chills, cliffhangers and more! I may even show up on your TV 🤓. Rent it for movie night! 🍿

How are Bloomberg Crypto and Fiat similar and how are they different? The world of "money" is fascinating as a social phenomenon. That was the main theme of my session with Johnny Chaos on Day 1 of the $HEX conference. Great discussion. Thank you to Mati Allin for including me on the
