Many TradFi processes make sense if you model the financial system with one-day block times and fee-free flash loans. Multi-day settlement is just the optimistic challenge period or withdrawal delay of the US equities chain with the DTCC as the single validator.

Wonder what the killer use case of blockchains is? Cross-border payments? Fungible (or not) tokens? Decentralized global currency?

We’ll let you in on a secret. The killer use case is: atomic multilateral settlement.

What’s that? Let’s break it down👇

Using .Box domains, Suave, Axiom and clever engineering, I think we can finally get truly decentralized frontend-apps that work as good as normal websites, with no central intermediaries needed for trust.

Hoping to write out the full idea soon!

Palley on the rule of law and practice as a lawyer in this country: How are you supposed to advise clients if nothing has the permanence of law? Not only is the regulator's website saying something different than the DOJ, it's been saying the same different thing for over 10…

Does this piss me off? Yes Belinda I just paid my taxes and it pisses me off to pay for this asininity.
